I can drink 3 cups of coffee and go straight to sleep, this is just one example of what is fundamentaly wrong with me as a person

That’s a possible sign of ADHD, my dudes. :P One of the prevailing theories explaining ADHD is that it’s caused by a lack of certain neurotransmitters, specifically norepinephrine and serotonin.  Everybody has a background level of these neurotransmitters, and when they see or do something novel or interesting, those neurotransmitters increase, and then decrease back down to normal levels.  Because people with ADHD have less of these than they should, they are constantly looking for something new and interesting to give them that jolt back to normal levels.  That’s why they’re so easily distracted and why they hyperfocus on things that interest them. Stimulant drugs, like caffeine, cause your brain to make more of those neurotransmitters.  So while neurotypical people might get a buzz off caffeine, people with ADHD just get bumped up closer to normal levels, and so, if anything, feel calmer.  That’s why they prescribe what are basically amphetamines as treatment for ADHD and why ADHD meds are so bad for people who don’t have ADHD.

Yup! At my job as a mental health counselor where we assess people, if we start detecting hints of what we think might be ADHD, it’s actually something my supervisor trained me to do, to just ask “So when that sort of thing happens, do you ever drink coffee or soda to calm down?” or “Does coffee actually help you wake up, or does it just not do anything?” because it’s such a commonly known fact about ADHD for people in the mental health field.

Yeah 5 hour energy is about the only thing that actually helps me focus but it definitely doesn’t work for 5 hours

Holy shit. I always wondered why coffee was able to conk me out.

i’d heard about Black Sails a few times but was hesitating whether to watch it or not - after all, there are so many good shows to watch. but then i finally did, and it absolutely blew me away. so if you’ve been deliberating whether to watch it or not, here’s my advice; if you want a show with deep, complex characters, gay pirates (and they’re actually lgbtq+, it’s not queerbaiting, it’s not wishful thinking, it’s actual, real representation), and a story that leaves you feeling as if there’s never been, and probably never will be, a show quite like it (vague, i know, but this show leaves you fucking breathless, trust me), then i recommend that you push it towards the top of your shows-to-watch-next list, because it’s a tragedy that so few people know about it/have watched it

Here's the thing about shows like South Park and Family Guy that make their money off of being edgy and offensive. They fundamentally reduce their viewers' capacity for empathy. If I found a joke funny, and you found it offensive, you're just too sensitive. This is directly related to the ride of the alt right and the election of trump. In this essay I will

OP WHERE'S THE FUCKING ESSAY

“Pants were invented for men” not according to my ancestors.

Eh well men also have legs, curves, and rears ends to highlight. So they shouldn’t own pants either? Or does OP not believe anyone can be sexually attracted to men? Or is it bad to feel lust for a woman, but not for men? IS OP GAY??? :D

This is one of my many favorite clips from B99

Remember, raising the minimum wage won’t increase prices, will add an additional 85,000 jobs to the economy, and will help small business’.

FYI, with her current salary she makes about 600 euros ($660) a month less than minimum wage in my country. Being a manager - even if it is not a fancy corporate one - she should by fairness be making more than minimum wage. With her current income level, she makes about as much a month as the monthly max in governmental student loans in my country. When I was a student, I could rent a tiny one bedroom apartment and with some budgeting live okay on that. I could not have housed and been financially responsible for two other human beings on that money. America, you need to get your shit together.

i can’t stress enough how important this is. the strain of forcing positive thinking really never worked for me, sometimes making things worse…but being able to think neutrally like this has really put me in a better position mentally than i have been in years.
