Why is Whitmer right out? I’m in Michigan, so I may not have a good perspective on what the rest of the US thinks of her.

What a flock of raging assholes. How did they justify forcing working conditions like that on you that you clearly did not want? Did they offer any excuse for doing that?
Is this more of an ADHD thing, or an ASD thing?
I don’t like bright overhead lights, either. I was diagnosed ADHD at the tender age of 56.
Yes. I’ve been told that by cops in prior years.
That said, things have improved enormously in the last 10 years. There is a vibrant downtown area, and fairly large pockets of redevelopment around it, with safe(-ish) and affordable housing.
As a Detroiter, I think I really need to watch this.
I think most Americans like the idea of public transport, and including a robust national rail network. The reason it doesn’t exist are the oil and automotive lobbies. (Mostly oil.). Poorly educated Americans (the ones wearing MAGA hats) are easy to manipulate by these groups, as well.
I was diagnosed at the age of 56. It might be worth you trying meds again. I have found Strattera to be extremely helpful to me.
And I followed every productivity guru in the world for decades just to try to keep things going for myself professionally. I have so internalized that I am just lazy and need to rail on myself to keep myself in line, that even though I know it isn’t true I still do it to some extent.
I don’t notice anything else related to vasoconstriction. My BP hasn’t changed since I started on it, for instance. It doesn’t really affect my appetite for sex, just my ability. This has lessened over time, but it’s still present. (And after ~8h, everything is fine.)
You can take it before bed if you like. Some people find it sleep-inducing at first. I find it simulating an hour or two later.
From what I have read, there are several different experiences from it. You’ll likely have to try it and see how it works for you, and what accommodations you’ll need to make. Hopefully the comments in this thread give you an idea of what to look out for.
Yes, its daily. It took a few days to notice a difference for me, but it definitely helps me with executive function. I’m up to the max dosage after 18 months, but it’s still working.
Side effects for me are nausea for maybe an hour after I take it, and major “shrinkage”. Sex is a real challenge for around 8h after taking it, and it looks like I’ve been swimming in the Arctic sea for about that long. This isn’t a major problem because I take it in the morning, but it has been occasionally frustrating. That effect wears off by evening, though, so my spouse is ok with me taking it. 🙂
I have never taken stimulants, so I can’t offer a comparison there.
Say hvad again. I double dog dare you!
I have been told (by my attorney) that arbitration is sometimes more expensive than filing suit. IIRC, the rationale is that arbitration can have very high fees and involve a large number of people. It was in the context of drawing up a boilerplate nda, but it has been awhile and I don’t remember the details.
Correct - its a double negative. Similar to “inflammable” which should mean “not flammable”, but doesn’t.
IIRC, “irregardless” was added to more US dictionaries in the late 20th century. I had a coworker in the early 90s who would become viscerally angry when others would use it…so the rest of us would use it often.
They aren’t. They’re responding to an allegation.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) denied the latest claims from House GOP impeachment investigators, who had accused the agency of intervening in the probe of Hunter Biden to stop an interview with one of his associates.
There wasn’t much meat in that story. While it is suspicious that a Russian oligarch paid for a lifetime membership in the NRA , that is not the same thing as funneling money into the Trump campaign. Can you cite any others that have more substantive allegations around Russian money in the NRA?
Before the more reactionary people attack me for being pro NRA, I most certainly am not. I just prefer to advance one or two solid arguments instead of a dozen mediocre or weak ones.
Edit: And thank you for posting that. I did not know there was even that much suspicion on them for accepting Russian money, though it isn’t much of a surprise.
Edited, thank you!
Same. I bought a 4-pack of toner refills with it. I’m on the 2nd one.
I don’t know how frequently this happens, but my experience is that a link to a lemmy group was deleted by mods. It was very politely worded, and suggested and alternative community on Lemmy, and also noted that there’s no reason that somebody couldn’t read both communities. It was still deleted as “spam or self-promotion.”
That could just be a maturity issue with the mod who deleted it. It could also be that Reddit itself is doing it and simply said it was done by the mods of the group.
I took a smoking flight once. It totally reeked. Even as a smoker it was unpleasant. I also smoked in my hospital room after an appendectomy, which in hindsight seems absolutely nuts.
I quit 12 years ago after trying dozens of times. I credit e-cigs with helping me finally wean off of tobacco.
