It’s about frequency and how badly it affects your quality of life. I went almost 40 years just self-medicating with caffeine and having lots of coping mechanisms. But with the birth of my second child, it was too much and I couldn’t hold it together. That’s when I got a proper diagnosis and medication.

100% right. I stayed unmedicated until my coping mechanisms started to fall apart. I’m currently on the lowest dose of medication, just to get back to that normal.

Welcome! You’re possibly a self medicating ADHD person.

Otter common signs you should get checked out

• do you sit there paralyzed and unable to do a task, even when you want to do it and know it needs to get done?

• are you weirdly calm and effective in stressful and panicked situations?

• do you get really into a hobby for a while, then drop it forever because you lose all interest?

If so, a diagnosis could be life altering.

No, it’s a paradox. You can’t be tolerant of intolerance or quantumania. Otherwise you just end up with more intolerance and quantumania.

Hah, TIL

I was excited that someone finally got the bagel to cream cheese ratio right. Now I’m disappointed.

Do you think that company owners want to pay more or less for employees?

Do you think you would pay more or less for an employee that doesn’t have any other good options for a job?

What is the best way to expand your job options?

Companies and politicians are absolutely incentivized to keep a good portion of the populace stupid. Critical thinking and education are detrimental to both, except where you provide some service that requires it.

Southern food is great because Southern white people have a different set of culinary influences than northern white people. I don’t know what that influence might be, but it must’ve been huge.

Hello cooter

Namecheap is reputable and WAY cheaper than that. Been using them for years.

Get your bottom in that elevator and take it up to the bar

The devs? No. This screams product management run amok.

If there’s so many Trans athletes, why don’t they just have a category of their own?

Because there aren’t, and this whole thing is much ado about nothing.

But hey, it keeps the morons distracted and voting, so that’s a plus.

Some international folks are used to squatting. I’ve seen (don’t ask how) people squat with their feet ON the toilet seat. That’s how this happens I bet.

There are rules (enforced) and there are rules (unenforced). This is still a bad rule, and needs to be fixed. But we can still acknowledge that they’re doing a good thing by ignoring it.

If there’s no god, then what happens to you is more important, not less.

He’s not FULL maga. He just doesn’t care who he has on his show or what he says as long as it improves his bottom line.

Joe panders to the specific flavor of ‘bro’ who is fart joking his way through life while trying to get Max Gainz and fetishizing women because they don’t get laid enough. I don’t know if there’s a specific term for this persona, so I’m going to call it the Brogan.

Of course. I ignored it for 39 years. Then I got properly diagnosed and medicated, and it’s a much less depressed existence.

I heard it as “I had sex with an Asian guy in a public elevator. It was Wong on so many levels.”

No, it’s Wong
