The person’s linked article was saying the White House pharmacy was being fast and loose with controls on medication. It was getting to people who shouldn’t have it.

Change one letter and you get “cum passion”. That sounds like a sex thing. Are you trying to do inappropriate things to children in the basement of your pizza arcade that may or may not exist!?!

Hey! You watch your mouth! We’ve developed lots of things including how to efficiently go bankrupt from a medical emergency!

Having freedom means the freedom to not afford living, too.

I work in IT, specifically desktop support. Over the last decade I’ve moved up into management and I’ve always had that feeling of things are going to fall to the ground any minute now. Everything is overwhelming and how can I possibly keep up. I just need to work faster. I decided to get tested when I moved into management and it got even harder to keep track of everything. I was diagnosed with combined adhd as well as moderate depression and anxiety maybe 6 months after that.

The thing that helped me most with getting a handle on my job has been medication, especially adderall/vyvanse (I like adderall better, but this ongoing shortage sucks). It can still be hard to concentrate, but I have a much easier time figuring out what needs to be done and being able to concentrate on that and somewhat ignore all the millions of other things that I need to pay attention to.

As long as you expect yourself to fail, it’ll eventually happen. Even if you’re doing a perfect job, you’ll burn yourself out with the stress of feeling like you’ll eventually fail. One thing that could help, if you don’t already, keep a task list as well. Even if it’s reminders of the things you need to do. I’ve found having that has helped me remember the next day or even later that same day the things I need to do.

What do you need to do to get from a provisional ADHD diagnosis to a full one? And have you mentioned to your doctor the anxiety you have for work?

Yeah but the old ssd won’t click

Bill Gares, Linus Torvald, or Steve Jobs depending with unclean OS you use.

You can see Terry Davis if you use the one true OS, TempleOS

My local grocery is at least nice enough to put paper between each slice to help pull them apart. Individually wrapped in plastic from the deli seems so strange.

Speaking of vaping the competition

Hey I completely agree with your comment, but I wanted to give you a heads up the saying is “can’t fathom the idea”

Yeah, I was agreeing and relating it to the good ol days when pirating for a one asp experience wasn’t needed unless you really wanted to.

Now we’re back to that’s the only way to easily get it all in one place is pirating. Apple TV seems to sort of have that ability but it’s not seamless because it takes you to whatever app the video is on, which still means you have to pay for all the streams.

I miss the early days of Netflix when that held true too. If I remember right piracy was down too. But everyone wanted a piece of the stupid pie and we’re back to where we started all over again

Which is crazy considering the Bacardi family had to escape from Cuba because of Castro’s takeover. So you’d think if any company would be against a hostile takeover, it would be them.

Yes but if the data also shows that a more thorough background check before allowing a person to purchase a gun results in lower deaths, shouldn’t that be considered too?

Data adds to support your argument. It doesn’t make the argument. It’s too easy to cherry pick information as you’ve shown.

Out of curiosity, how is the argument to ban guns different from the argument to ban access to fetal abortion practices?

The ban on guns is heralded as the beginning of the end if passed, but abortions seem to be the same unless they’re explicitly banned.

Is it subjective if data tends to say otherwise and it still gets ignored?

Also, I’m not saying liberal ideals are best for all, however they tend to take into consideration other groups that those rules would effect. And no, I’m not saying that’s true all the time either.

My point again is I’m only seeing one group actively fight against medical protections, banning books, and ignoring science in the name of corporate value.

Because in most of the world conservative values have become “what’s best for me,” and progressive values have become “what’s best for us”

And that “they’re all the same” argument doesn’t really work well. Sure, at the base they’re the same because they preach values, but at least in the US only one side was trying real hard to undo medical protection for issues like abortion and banning books that they don’t want to have to explain to their kids.

It’s nice of you to keep his memory alive that way

But why spend the money on the tiny pizza table?

A soup can, I think.

Lol yeah for a second I went, “oh no, not again!” Then I remembered where I am and saw this was posted 3 years ago.

The industry actually tried to get people to stop calling them laptops because people kept burning themselves badly in the early days of portable computers when they would get hot af
