maybe the wrong analogy to use for people that actually know cars lol. thats just how my psych described it. Probably because it’s top of the line and everyone wants it. I don’t want a come-up or down. I don’t want to feel wired for 4 hours then crash. Some people do, but that’s why I avoided adderall and friends. I didn’t ever want to feel the urge to abuse my drug either.

Vyvanse is so smooth and lasts so long that I’m on the lowest dosage and plan to stay there forevs by taking tolerance breaks. Lasts all day into the evening so I can be productive at more than just work. shits real nice

I have been successful despite ADHD. If your condition makes it harder to do your job, creates anxiety, causes you to procrastinate… that’s enough impact. There’s a test. If it says you got the condition, then there’s no reason not to prescribe. I hope you can find better doctors

you can book a consultation with a psychologist or a psychiatrist. In order to be diagnosed, the symptoms you have must have been present before age 12. They will likely have you sit and do a 20 minute test to measure attention and memory. It will sound like it’s going to be easy. If you have the condition, I assure you it is not!

Then your provider can talk meds. There’s lots of options. The lambo of pills is Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine), but there are a lot of others w various benefits and drawbacks.

e: the doctors are only there to prescribe pills, more or less. they won’t think you’re abusing the system

The way it was explained to me, ADHD is caused by dopamine or a lack thereof, at least in part. That means emotions can get out of whack, easily overwhelmed, intrusive thoughts etc. Meds aren’t just legal crack to help focus. At least for me, they fix numerous symptoms.

I thought I was managing great without meds. Soon as I started them the entire world changed. They even got rid of the physical part of anxiety for me.

Good luck!

I don’t think it should be prosecuted in the Hague or anything. I just think if we’re gonna lambast the orange fuck we should do it right without dragging the innocent and marginalized down too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

e: especially if we’re claiming any sort of moral high ground

I mean it’s the definition of punching down. Bitches and the “fat” catching strays when the man has plenty of garbage qualities to choose from. The OP oozes cringe millennial humor that should be left behind IMO.

fatphobia and misogyny oh boy 😍

I have a family member who is a cop, and they told me this was possible months ago. I doubt Apple doesn’t know

you see the immigrants have scary values that differ from the nice white folk of america. they have a strong work ethic, prioritize family, speak english, and most importantly, have a slightly different skin tone which assaults the delicate anglo sensibilities upon which this great eugenicist experiment was founded

I only boot it to play wardogs or to debase myself by playing league of legends or rainbow 6 (rarely thankfully). otherwise proton works for literally every other game I play. i never would have envisioned this ever being the case 10 years ago.

Windows is a bloated corpse and I wait for the moment I can reclaim its SSD space with bated breath

I got my good bud to finally swap to Linux months ago. We have to occasionally boot windows for some games. He laments it every time, even despite having plenty of issues on Linux. Windows just feels worse in every way. He said “At least the problems on linux are fun and I can fix most of them.” - and he’s no linux expert.

Maybe it’s finally almost the year of the linux desktop :')

elaborate so i can scare my partner out of this lofty distant future idea

That can have some really frightening (if rare) side effects! Bupropion is similar in that it has few side effects and isn’t an SSRI. Works ok, just don’t take too much or you’ll seize 🙃

I moved in (and quickly out of) a place infested with critters I had never even heard of (wtf is a carpet beetle). The day I moved in, there was a house centipede and a sizeable spider in the bathub, fighting to the death. I didn’t know which side to take so I left them alone. I came back later to find them both ostensibly dead and not moving. I came back even later to find the centipede gone but the spider still dead. I felt like David Attenborough. I still think about those lil gladiators sometimes

I’m not sure whether you really mean Debian has all those issues or if it’s sarcasm, but otherwise it’s clearer you’re not recommending Debian

dnf yay snap flatpak emerge… nix?

I think maybe you meant “should use Debian”?

I think you’re right in general. I think juniors and those who havent yet had experience are not going to understand a goddamn thing and produce broken, insecure, unmaintainable slop.

I’ve written my share of garbage code – completely by hand! And i’m much better for it.

Once you have that experience, once you’ve written a few backends and frontends, there’s not much left to understand. Move the data from here to there. Display it, transform it, slice it up. For webdev AI is a huge force multiplier. I can make a dozen features or apps in the time it used to take me to learn one framework I was curious about. It even helps me learn faster because of how quickly I can test new patterns and ideas.

There’s certainly a right way to use it if you want to continue being edified, burning the planet down aside.

Those are just the bots kind enough to specify a real user agent too 🥲
