  • Did they actually use greyscale or similar to make it look worse than it already is?

  • But I do not wish to share more bonds...

  • /r/TheyKnew

    How does that even work on KBin?

  • They're flags where you want to say you're Republican but don't want to be blue lives matter is how I know it colloquially in practice.

    Not quite as bad as the 'Stars and Bars', but I've only seen one type of person wear it. And they're usually diehard exmilitary Republicans that like to shit on Democrats but play plausible deniability when you call them out on it lol.

    Edit: Most legit and cool military people I know just use their branch or company symbols. Army/Marine Globe/actual company patch etc.

  • I've had to use CX File Explorer here and there for various things. KDE is just a better version of that then?

    CX was pretty lightweight last I used it.

  • Honestly that 80/90s scare did a doozy on most GenX/Millenial underlying mentals on how they treat or medicate. Medicine is literally medicine. Not a crutch, not something to be scared of. If you're not scared of the literal food you eat or the water you drink, then you shouldn't for meds either. It's a necessary thing for us mostly because of scumbag genetics and probably some environmental conditions. I do hope you're actually happy with either route you take.

    Yeah I'd still say I'm fairly stoic/quiet, but I at least have all my emotions now. I'm confident I used stoicism as a counter for the ADHD as a crutch for focusing. Unfortunately it was very much like going through life like the scene in Fight Club where the Narrator could barely hear his boss lol. Sure things mattered, I did stuff, but I didn't really feel much of anything when going through the motions. I had good empathy for others, but not for myself. I just didn't care about shit. However, I was never suicidal and never will be probably. Too scared of death and FOMO.

    These days? Have a toddler, another on the way sooner than later. I leak all the time watching shit lol.

    I've heard a good analogy before that so many of our emotions are like a filled glass of water. Someone with depression like mine always had the glass half full so unless some CRAZY amounts of stuff happened, the glass would never overflow. Others, it's ALWAYS about to spill over. For most healthy people, it's filled, but there's still space at the top. Sad stuff should be able to make you sad and poignant things cry. Mad things shouldn't let you be a dormat forever, but they shouldn't instantly make you pop either. That glass has felt APPROPRIATELY full after meds.

  • Ope

    Jump
  • MAMI!?!?!

  • FWIW it mostly depends on if you have anything else going on behind the scenes besides the ADHD.

    The biggest thing you can do is be completely honest with your GP and get a referral to a psychiatrist. I've always had great actual coping mechanisms for when shit really hits the fan. CBT was something I had already looked into myself and worked on. I've always been the person to have my life and shit together, but it took waaaay more effort than anyone realized since I mask -relatively- easily.

    It was pretty much immediately start medicine and go from there. Yeah, the antidepressants (SNRI/SSRIs) sucked ass and I'm no longer on 1st lines which is honestly the biggest issue people have with meds. I actually asked for Ritalin first since I heard about Adderall abuse, but Adderall Ritalin.

    I've pretty much always known I had it, my mom said teachers and my school said I had it, she refused to medicate anyway due to the 80/90s OVERMEDICATING CHILDREN hysteria. Wonders why I always had issues finishing stuff that wasn't games. Oh hey, executive dysfunction is a thing!

    Got diagnosed as an adult @ 30. Took about 2 years to get a decent medicine regiment since we were also treating some panic disorder due to being a functional alcoholic too. Mild-Moderate depression mostly manifesting in numb/stoicism with some GAD. FWIW Naltrexone OP for the booze. It's cut my habit down by an extra $100/mo.

    No joke though, amphetamines are like day and night for me. Similar to Leilys above, the tiredness I used to feel from morning to night basically vanishes. While I do take 6 pills, the only real ones I take for ADHD is a pretty high dose of Adderall or Vyvanse (generic please hurry the fuck up) and Clonidine for fidgeting and offlabel to help sleep. A huge part of the high dose was due to the alcoholism and a regular cocaine habit so I process it pretty quickly compared to most lol. Oh yeah, Naltrexone helped for that too. Haven't had white in like a year?

  • The entire internet is probably familiar with that complaint from the first experiment SmoothIsFast lol. Congrats! šŸŽ‰

  • It's got what rotating magnets crave.

  • Sounds like you didn't read the article or headline and think it's an article from the first time we achieved this. Even then, your numbers are off it seems. Are you actually close to the experiment and know the output?

    "US scientists have achieved net energy gain in a nuclear fusion reaction for the second time since a historic breakthrough in December last year in the quest to find a near-limitless, safe and clean source of energy

    Scientists at the California-based Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory repeated the breakthrough in an experiment in the National Ignition Facility (NIF) on 30 July that produced a higher energy yield than in December, a Lawrence Livermore spokesperson said.

    Final results are still being analysed, the spokesperson added.

    Nuclear fusion involves smashing together light elements such as hydrogen to form heavier elements, releasing a huge burst of energy in the process. The approach, which gives rise to the heat and light of the sun and other stars, has been hailed as having huge potential as a sustainable, low-carbon energy source.

    In December, Lawrence Livermore first achieved a net energy gain in a fusion experiment using lasers. That experiment briefly achieved what’s known as fusion ignition by generating 3.15 megajoules of energy output after the laser delivered 2.05 megajoules to the target, the Energy Department said.

    In other words, it produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it, the department said.

    The US Department of Energy called it ā€œa major scientific breakthrough decades in the making that will pave the way for advancements in national defense and the future of clean powerā€.

    Fusion energy raises the prospect of plentiful clean power: the reactions release no greenhouse gases or radioactive waste byproducts. A single kilogram of fusion fuel, which is made up of heavy forms of hydrogen called deuterium and tritium, provides as much energy as 10m kilograms of fossil fuel. But it has taken 70 years to reach this point.

    Scientists have warned that the technology is far from ready to turn into viable power plants – and is not about to solve the climate crisis – but have hailed the latest breakthroughs as evidence that the power of the stars can be harnessed on Earth."

  • You must be confused beefcat because I'm agreeing with you lmfao.

    Also, I'm not proposing a solution. If I had one, I wouldn't be on KBin talking to you. I'd be in my megayacht playing Remnant 2 surrounded by hookers and blow.

  • It's like saying AAA games should probably be way more than $60. Despite the fact they used to be $40... then $50... and more expensive carts have ALWAYS been around since the SNES? and definitely N64 days lol.

  • Now if only it allowed you could login with KBin. :(

  • Prostitution and drugs being illegal.

    I have a hard time seeing a proper utopia driven society penalizing these. Everyone should be able to fuck. Everyone should be able to put whatever they want in their bodies too. Dicks or drugs, doesn't matter.
