This has essentially no overlap with ADHD. It’s just a pop/incorrect understanding of ADHD. People with ADHD won’t do many of those things, and people without ADHD can do all of them. There’s even some reason to think this graphic could be inversely indicative of ADHD. For example, the only research of which I’m aware on ADHD and metaphor or analogy is actually that individuals with ADHD are worse at processing and understanding metaphors and are worse at analogical reasoning.
Well it is a behavior disorder. If you don’t have disruptive behavior, plenty of other psychiatric conditions cause the same or worse executive dysfunction (e.g., bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder) and the same or worse social anxiety and rejection sensitivity (e.g., social anxiety disorder). Let’s not pretend like ADHD isn’t difficult for others around the individual to deal with; it is, by definition, if someone has it.
Ask me if you’d like sources for any of the above.
That’s actually a fairly common misconception. Professors get fired for cause all the time with tenure. People can also be let go even without cause if the college’s board of directors votes to approve. Usually the board of directors won’t give individual professors any thought, but if the professor is acting in ways they believe go against the best interests of the school–even if it doesn’t strictly violate to the professor’s contract–boards can and do vote to let professors go in those cases.
Tenure exists to protect a professor’s freedom to research what they’re interested in, even if it’s not immediately fundable or a “hot topic.” It allows for faculty to stand up to deans when deans may be taking the college in a bad direction. It also allows professors to have the ability to require a constant level academic rigor to pass their classes (e.g., even if a cohort of students is less prepared out of high school, they need to achieve the same level of mastery) since their contracts aren’t dependent on teaching evaluations–provided that the professors are teaching their classes as expected. Tenure’s only actual reason for existing, though, is research freedom, and firing happens all the time for reasons unrelated to research.

I use Linux. I’m a researcher, not IT. Many of my colleagues use Linux.
Maybe, but at least some folks have less of it. Me, for example. On Reddit, I generally assumed most folks were from the US, or bots. On here, I generally assume folks are equally–if not more–likely to be from a country in Europe, or Canada. I also see way more German representation here than I did on Reddit.
