What's up with the bullet points? This almost reads like a ChatGPT/AI comment, which is especially weird for a personal recollection. Are people writing like frickin robots now?

Don’t be an ass. People used lists before LLMs.

  • They’re just lucky I didn’t have a big run-on sentence, like I used to before taking a serious look at how ADHD affected my writing and thought processes, including significant use of parentheticals (because every thought comes with a couple of extra thoughts, for free!)

    :D

    • If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.

      The more time I have, the more of those extra thoughts I can decide aren't really important.

    • > every thought comes with a couple of extra thoughts, for free!

      Bonus points if you branch deep enough to lose the original thought.
