I think the bulk of your concerns are better to speak with a therapist about than the doctor prescribing the meds. I’ve found my adhd is 75% managed by meds and the rest is tools I’ve learned in therapy.

I am a bit concerned about the feelings of euphoria you’re still experiencing and chasing, those usually wear off fairly quickly after a stimulant dose increase and that is worth speaking to your prescriber about. Some people do really well on non-stimulant medications like Strattera, and because that stays in your system much longer you may be more stable and have less questions about who you really are.

As an aside, some things lower the efficacy of stimulants. For example, don’t drink orange juice or take vitamin c with your medication. Also, medication breaks on weekends are important to keep you from constantly needing to increase your dose

My bad, I shouldn’t have commented before fully waking up :)

The quality of sperm and the volume declines with age.

This is well known, and would have taken him two seconds to find a study on nih.gov about this. Not that it matters, since he’s operating by “feel” instead of fact.

As far as I can tell it’s not yet published. Why on earth would this be reported if it hasn’t made it through the publishing process? Lol

Here is a reaction to the findings that were presented at the conference mentioned in the op article.

Potted plants will need water and occasional fertilizer.

If I remember correctly, people from your server need to subscribe to the community for the posts to federate. I can’t remember if it’s just one subscriber or if more are needed. Sorry, that’s not super helpful >.<

I think you might have a federation issue, there are daily posts that I can see. Even one as recent as five hours ago

Ramen was about 20¢/packet back then. Worked out to about 2 packets a day plus just enough for eggs. Was not the healthiest time of my life lol

When I was on snap I got a whopping $17/month because my ssdi income was just barely low enough for me to qualify for snap. It’s insane that people think folks are committing fraud for tiny amounts of food

Freeze into ice cubes to use in place of regular ice in iced coffee

Carroll said investigators believed the suspect was armed with a shotgun, a handgun and knives. He also said the suspect was believed to have been a guest at the hotel.

It amazes me that there has been four (I think?) close-ish attempts on this man’s life in the last decade, three in the last two years, and things like this still get through.

I think so, too. This is why it’s important to talk about non-combat PTSD. So more people get the help they need, and there’s less stigma around it.

I did mean it in the dragon context, haven’t had my coffee yet xD Thank you for the correction

The article is confusing because it paints him as a “highly respected” ethical hunter and conservationist that hunts under culling licenses, but goes on to say the duiker he was hunting is rare and elusive. Wikipedia lists it as near threatened.

Man had a horde hoard of animal trophies too, so it seems like he just found a loophole to killing and collecting animals in a ‘respectable’ way

Edit: pre-coffee typo :)

I’m a Navy veteran with service connected PTSD. People question if I have PTSD sometimes and it does indeed piss me off, but I’m not out here claiming to have been blown up while serving. People are starting to become aware that PTSD doesn’t always stem from combat, and that awareness will help more people going forward. Mine comes from being attacked and raped by my shipmates, I didn’t expect to survive it.

I don’t feel disgust that USA Today asked him about his service, instead I wonder why he didn’t have a better response. He could have offered education about PTSD or said he wanted to increase transparency around disability ratings in the VA, or any number of things.

Conservative political action conference

Orban was a guest speaker a couple years ago in the US. Seems like he founded the cpac in Hungary afterwards

I keep my doors closed both for climate control and light. I prefer darker spaces but I have indoor vegetable plants in my spare bedroom. I very softly close my doors though, because I’m overly sensitive to sound lol

I wish I could get her to watch ds9 with me, I imagine Vic Fontaine would be her favorite character though

She believes in aliens too, but not in the sense of little green men. She claims that they are prophets from the old testament that time travel, she always mentioned that passage in Kings with a burning chariot in the sky when she was talking about aliens. She gave me a book about it once, I kind of wish I had held on to it for the laughs.
