Is this supposed to explain Lisp?
I can’t wait for this era of quirkifying neurodivergence to be over
That face when the engine of thought pulls along many train cars (some might be empty or only half filled), but the you keep adding more cars (because thoughts are like an interconnected web of multiplying possibilities), and eventually the train starts to derail a bit (but the engine still makes it to the next station).
Your spidertrain comparison speaks to me
I’m just riding the rails of neuronal impulses over here.
Em dashes too. LLMs can pry them from my cold dead hands.
An idea, its offshoot, completed - another offshoot, bracketed differently for visual distinction and to free up the comma - final word; concluding idea that could be another sentence but isn’t for some reason.
I do that while speaking and can almost feel the parenthesis forming
Do you ever forget to close the parenthesis when you do this
The parentesis opens another parentesis until all relevant information is sumarised or at least mentioned
And no one ever gets to hear what your point was because they cut in at a random punctuation
wait wait wait this is a neurodivergent thing??
It’s only because I can’t do the Terry Prachett thing of having footnotes to my posts.
Here on lemmy? Or somewhere else? FlakesBongler is right for many other places, but for lemmy: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#footnotes (it has the same syntax, both inline and non. I like the inline ones they are easy to make and when writing work quite like just parantheses)

This is definitely not going to negatively affect my posting in any way (thank you).
You just have to be creative about it¹
- 1.Every problem has a solution
inclusing parentheses within parentheses (sometimes I have too much that I want to say [but it doesn’t feel like it should be in separate sentences because it’s not that important] so I do this)
Intentionally using dashes - which I also happen to like (more than brackets anyway [they feel too computery]) - just to mix things up a little
(
)I hate how often I do this (but I kind of love it too)
Every thought is not isolated, and needs additional context. (We do not have thoughts all on our own, we are recipients of matetial conditions (oh and I’m studying the Elean school of Greek philosophy now, I dunno what kind of crack they were smoking, and how fucking bourgeois they were to be so seperate from material reality) (and to add, I think it might be something about being good at math (or rather solving equations with parenthises) that makes you use parenthises in writing.)) and you might just have some related thoughts in the mean time (try to count the parenthises)).
I love my weird brain (but occasionally I wish it’d shut up for once)
I’m in this image and i don’t like it
it’s just a lisp
