Yeah, it’s incredibly frustrating. GPs can diagnose and prescribe for things like anxiety and depression. But the main treatment for ADHD is a “fun” drug that people would like to abuse as much as opioids and we saw how GPs abused prescriptions for that.

So now no one can be trusted, so the test isn’t good enough because what if they’re gaming the system to get drugs?? Psychiatrists are overbooked because we never have enough of them, and we’re heaping all these extra checks just to make sure it’s not someone trying to abuse the meds. And people who have a diagnosis that means they already aren’t good at these kinds of things have to make sure to get a script and bring it to the pharmacy on the exact right day every single month.

I’m not even sure what the solution is. I wish we just a way more holistic treatment of drug abuse and mental health treatment in general so that we aren’t having to make everyone jump through hoops to get the things they need to function.

Do VPNs make that feature kind of pointless? We can’t access most things from home without going through a VPN. Every where I’ve worked (and gone to school) was like that.

Does your RSVP have options for remote vs in person? My options are “accept”, “decline”, and “tentative.” If I want to tell someone I’m remote that day, it needs to be a separate message.

Caffeine is physically addictive. You get withdrawals if you’re addicted and stop cold turkey. It does vary person to person. But most people get a splitting headache.

That’s because they are. It’s just a socially acceptable drug addiction.

GDPR has a weird quirk of applying to all EU citizens whether or not they’re currently in the EU. Cars are physical things and it is harder to make different models. A check of “Is California billing address? Show button. No? Don’t show button.” would be trivial to implement and would probably result in enough money to make it worth it.

What does the name being common in that case get you that individual doesn’t? The only thing I can think of is not having to take the trouble to name it yourself, which is such a minor thing.

Put an actual fence on it

It saving billions isn’t argument against it being good for employees/most people. If say the government introduced a bill that required every company to send 5% of their money to Russia, fighting the hell out of that bill would save them billions and would be in line with what most Americans want. There are more realistic ones like pretty much every iteration of the kids online safety act.

It might be a good rule of thumb, but it definitely isn’t the only argument/proof needed.

Their point is that the more people who have covid the worse it is for everyone, even those who are vaccinated.

I prefer something like clover to astroturf, but your local climate may vary.

It’s a consonant. Specifically it’s the voiced palatal approximant represented as ⟨j⟩ in IPA.

The Windows is not free. The OEMs pay a license fee and that cost is passed on to people buying those computers.

It generally takes months. It’s not like women can lactate just by pushing their nipples either.

In the ordinary course of events, they need to get pregnant, build up all the ducts and milk producing cells, and then get the right combination of hormones to trigger milk production. And then you have to keep removing that milk, or it stops.

You can get people not going through pregnancy to lactate by giving them the hormones. Recovery from famine can also produce the needed hormone spike.

Are your pets vaccinated and fixed? Would they have ever chosen that themselves? Do you get their dental work done (something most vets only do under anesthesia because cats hate it so much!)? If you’re responsibly taking care of your pets, you are making choices for them they do not like.

Women are very good to have an amazing time with.

Introverts don’t not want social connection. They just prefer a smaller number of deeper connections. “You’re not people” is a common sentiment from introverts to their closest friends and family. Most introverts still have and enjoy social connection. They just prefer it in an intimate or chill setting to large groups.

“I could care less” is almost always said sarcastically. A hallmark of sarcasm is saying the opposite of what you mean. So, a sarcastic “I could care less” implies they could not care less.

Right? Grown ups can be trusted to get their work done without someone watching them all the time. It’s small children who need constant supervision.

Probably can’t avoid everything Disney, but I will try avoiding situations where they could physically harm me or my family.
