I reckon I'll buy some landscaping machinery and a truck before I ever sign up for that distopian nightmare. At least sound ordinance would prevent 24/7 operation.

No more sound ordinance, just install Neuralink and receive free auto-mute during sleeping hours.

You don’t look like a cultural fit to our company, but try a course of Ozempic and reapply in 6 months.

Probs already there…

People say "narcolepsy this" and "ADHD that" but we know y'all need off these drugs.

Is this supposed to be scary or amazing?

Your comment is probably the most disturbing thing I’ve ever read on this website

I dunno, there's been a whole lot of fascist bootlicking going on lately under the guise of good faith discussion. That's pretty disturbing to me.

Astroturfing crosses all boundaries eventually.

Isn't this already happening with ADHD drugs?
reply
A lot of people with ADHD that have success with medication can tell you that it's not just about work.

It also helps with non-work stuff that's just not fun to do, such as chores or filing your taxes. It even helps you stick with hobbies you actually enjoy but your brain gets bored of.

Don't tell me psychiatrist but I take my addon Ritalin at night so I can play games or read a book. I just can't do it without it

To some extent ADHD drugs are abused but to us neurodivergent people those stimulants (or in other cases just alpha 2 agonists) just help us do normal things that normal people can do without drugs, like laundry. Or reading a book, or be able to focus on literally anything that isn’t giving us a high level dopamine response.

The meds (both stimulant and non stimulant) help people with ADHD choose where to hyperfocus, but hyperfocus is an internal trait of the ADHD neurotype, so it isn’t just attributable to the drugs or something.

I.e. normal people use stimulants to go fast, while ND people with ADHD use them to go slow or have their brain actually be able to slow down.

on the recreational level, maybe, but from a therapeutic perspective for people who actually benefit from its prescribed use its absolutely game-changing to live a life without (or with mitigated) executive dysfunction.

I know you're joking but I saw a company that had similar policies like fasting and stuff like that to improve productivity. They seemed to take it pretty seriously...
