I was prescribed Ritalin at age 14 (20mg slow release plus 10mg fast release later in the day) and it had a similar effect in me where I withdrew into my own thoughts. I was definitely stimulated but it was all on the inside. I was able to focus for longer and it felt like my train of thought was a bit clearer and there was minor euphoria in the first 30mins of onset. In the end it affected me too much and I would get headaches from not eating enough so I started only using it to study for exams. But as a young child they won’t be able to make those decisions for themselves.

Yessssss this is what I needed

A bird in the hand is as good as two in the bush

idiocracy

She went downhill fast.

That’s pretty cool. I’ve been watching The Knick and I imagined some bloody scene with a hand and tools.

No shortage of crazy on the internet 🫠

That last frame was a great expression for Mr Pickerd. I like to think Janeway would totally be that crass lmao!

Especially in programming

Excellent take. I agree with everything. If I give Claude a function signature, types and a description of what it has to do, 90% of the time it will get it right. 10% of the time it will need some edits or efficiency improvements but still saves a lot of time. Small scoped tasks with correct context is the right way to use these tools.

Please sir, can I have some more?

I have had a few drinks on Ritalin and it feels like the drink doesn’t do much. I have read that lots of alcohol can cause heart arythmia with methylphenidate but that’s not 1 drink.

Never realised I would have to explain what “no hate” means 🙃

This is extremely dangerous and can kill. Not joking. Probably best that you delete this comment so that you are not accountable if police go looking.

Tailwind is for people that don’t know how to use CSS properly. There, I said it.

This was me like 3 years ago

I agree with you in general but fleshlights don’t really resemble a human any more than a dildo IMO.

Air pulse vibrators? I’m going to have to Google this haha 😄

My favourite episodes!

Congrats 👏

My advice would be to be kind to yourself and find what works for you. Being comfortable as an older ADHD person is about creating routines and accommodations that make things easier.
