It gets used as the in-house chat client at my place of employment. I work in a rural area in an old building so cell service is spotty at best, so it’s handy to be able to shoot a chat to anyone instead of an email or walking over to their office.

Certainly possible, but I’m sort of a textbook mild case of ADHD, just with the side case of insomnia being fairly prominent (which was true even before medication). Everybody reacts to medication in different ways, so I’ve just found I have to rely on coping strategies more than medication for my case. It’s not a big deal and I’m at a point in my life where I can manage my ADHD symptoms in a way that doesn’t affect my life too much. So for me, the side effects of the medication exacerbate my preexisting insomnia to the point that the drawbacks of adderall outweigh the benefits for my particular brand of ADHD.

No it’s IR, but taken 20 mg in the morning and then 10 mg in the early afternoon. It just always wound up with the physical effects lingering much longer than the mental effects, so if I tried skipping the afternoon dose, then I’d wind up totally scattered and useless from about 3PM on.

The XR once in the morning worked a little better, but for whatever reason didn’t really help the same way and I still had the insomnia from it.

There are no winners here.

Source: Tried for years to overpower the insomnia from my ADHD meds with melatonin, weed, CBD:THC edibles, booze, kava, diphenhydramine, etc. before finally going cold turkey on my adderall. With enough stimulants, it doesn’t matter how much melatonin you take; you’re not gonna have a good night’s sleep edit: but you’ll also be too tired to be productive or to do anything fun

Profession can absolutely affect volume. Even without any hearing damage, any job that regularly requires that you project can become a habit.

I’m a chemistry professor at a community college, fairly well educated, and I flatter myself to say reasonably intelligent, but I still slip into what my wife calls my “teaching voice” in some social settings or even occasionally at home.

Plus, admitting that God cannot create light without dark or good without evil means admitting God is not omnipotent.

I’m not mad at it, but what’s with all the orb memes today? Hasn’t this meme been around forever?

Me too. I was really wondering what sort of interview this was.

Not, you’re thinking of Deadshot. A deadlock is a Scottish body of water that has been polluted to the point that no life exists in the lake.

That’s a good point. I’m familiar with the concept, but didn’t realize it had been formalized so distinctly, so I suppose you’re right.

It’s interesting, though, because one would think that’s there’s always going to be a balancing act between wanting to make your message more well known and wanting to keep it unadulterated.

Knowing those two, they probably love the irony of a corporation paying money to use RTJ’s anti-capitalistic, transgressive songs in an ad, let alone a brand like Cadillac.

But hey, it’s “ju$t” money

Of course she’s much more likable naturally, so maybe it won’t work as well.

And AOC actually represents change and progress as opposed to being a bland, corporate liberal

Scottish works better, no?

Damn fine cup of coffee!

I’ve only ever heard it used in pulpy adventure stories/comics like Howard’s Conan world (some of which do admittedly have some if that implicit racism common to fiction from that time). Has it become more explicitly neo-Nazi?

Y’all got any more of them x3 jokers?

As someone who lives in this same town, black bears are more like overweight raccoons.

Fun fact, our “city hall” is at the tiny community airport, which also had a restaurant with the best chicken wings in town (salt and vinegar wings FTW). The restaurant was still going when this happened in 2019, so my guess is the bear smelled the food and went looking for the kitchen, only to get sidetracked by the city council meeting.

Except then you eat it and your mouth is numb for a bit and it helps the hangover

Fair. There’s misremembering something from your childhood and then there’s ignoring evidence that’s right in front of you.

I think it’s safe to say that person was not arguing in good faith.

Or that they missed the obvious allusions as a child and haven’t gone back and rewatched it with an adult’s knowledge of context.
