for people with ADHD, it's not that our memory is bad, it's that our garbage collection is too strict

@AmyZenunim in my case I just have a very smol L1, L2, and L3 cache

@AmyZenunim I would phrase it as some of the redundant timing source for OS context switches and RAM refreshes are defective.
Process say write data to disk.
OS doesn't wake up.
Data is not refreshed properly in memory.
OS wakes up and even if the interrupt state wasn't lost (that happens a lot too) the OS know has to decide what to do with partially corrupted data.

@AmyZenunim I’m wondering if it’s too lose. But something’s different with that GC from neurotypical people

I can't speak for others, but I find that I also have a very limited amount of stack space.

@AmyZenunim reminds me of when @eliza tried to garbage collect empty cans and various other vessels around the house and i told her that my desk held references to them, so she would need to collect my desk in order to succeed in her GC sweep
