Tf is going on in my Twitter FYP, Been a lot of Pro-Jolani And Syrian Opposition Shits, Can anybody Explain to Me
Twitter FYP is intentionally designed to make you angry because it drives engagement, use Following tab instead
Why do MAGAs think being deported is the same as having someone publicly executed? Just because they're moved from a location doesn't mean they'll stop being critical of the US. It's not a magic wand.
In other news, Nazis win Nazi Germany's election again for the 22nd time.
Hey big momma
Anyone have any suggestions of where I could post a video of of old soviet footage of it's airplanes to some cool music? Couldn't really find one here that fits
if it's just one video, you can just post it in this community
At risk of sounding like a lib, I really do feel we are missing some kinda strong and intellectual leader type that goes against the status quo. Unfortunately the only leaders willing to go against the status quo are people like Trump and Milei, who I dont really consider strong. Even the status quo they go against is in more of a backwards cultural way rather than economic, because economically the status quo is already trending towards neoliberalism. This could also just be me being western biased, there are things going on in the Sahel states that I'm not too informed on.
Putin maybe? But he seems to be another capitalist at the end of the day. China is off doing their own thing. The whole Gaza genocide and Syria collapse just made Iran look really weak to me, but idk Im just an amateur looking at the situation from afar. Guess the west is literally just going to collapse through its own contradictions with no one there to pick up the pieces 
Mélenchon in France and his party is doing a lot of work considering the insanely reactionary politics currently ongoing in his country.
Putin does not only seem to be a capitalist. He's 100% a capitalist, he just happens to be from a country the US hates. More than a capitalist, putin is a reactionary asshole doing exactly the same kind of shit far right politicians in the rest of the world are trying to do, plunder all they can while blaming minorities for it.
Furthermore, I would argue Milei and Trump are not really going against the status quo, they just removed the veneer of "civility" liberals love to tout while doing the same shit.
I recently really got into Rugby League. Anybody else follow this sport?
How do you directly/privately message the mods of a community? Or do you have to DM a specific mod? I know of the report feature for specific posts, but thinking of broader message than that.
I don't think Lemmy has such a feature; your best bet would probably be to DM a mod you know to be active
Oh ok, that would explain not being able to find it then. Thanks for the info.
I didn't sleep well last night and ended up taking twice my ADHD meds.
I shouldn't have done that.
I have 3 days extra though so thankfully I won't run out before it's time to get a new batch.
Ouch. What kinda effect did it have ?
I'm on 40 mg Lisdexamfetamine. There was a day when I took it twice because my routine was messed up.
I ended up cleaning the house all day, make way too much food for the week, call my mom four times, while I was supposed to take it easy because I had a bad week and was near exhaustion already.
I'm on 60 mg of Lisdexamfetamine.
I took the first at 1:00 AM and the second one at 1:00 PM.
It... didn't seem to have much effect because I'm tired af.
So that seems to have countered whatever urge for productivity I had or have.
Is 1 am the time you usually take it at? I tend to try and keep it at the same hour. It has a small half life, but it doesn't mean it has no half life, I try to keep the concentration the same.
It's new to me, as I went undignosed for 40 years, so I'm still very wary of it.
Err, no, I don't take it usually at 1:00 AM. I usually take it at 7:00 or 8:00 AM, maybe 9:00 AM. What happened was that I woke up super-early and, well, I had to do something important and so I worked in the morning. Foolish of me, in all honesty. I should've never done that.
I'm glad you were able to get the Vyvanse after 40 years or so, though of course, it's fine to be wary of it.
Still, it's useful, and I acutely need it, tbh.
I have been diagnosed this year by a neuropsychologist with TSA, ADHD, Giftedness and Alexithymia. I'm a fortyish person who all his life though he was the most stupid people alive, yet have achieved a lot of stuff normal people won't even try.
I have a second degree black belt in Kyukushinkai, a first degree black belt in Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū, which was delivered by Goro Hatakeyama. I have been challenged by my old teacher in Kyukushinkai to break a baseball bat, which I did, cement blocks, which I did and to do 25 000 kicks in a row, which I also did. I also did the 100 persons Kumite, which I stupidly did. I know how to brew beer at a very good level, having won a few competitions. I am a master code monkey - I have built the simulator for Janet Echelman, worked on both Unity and Unreal Engine, worked as a team lead in several big tech places, including the propaganda arm of Canada in quebec (radio-canada), worked at most known place in my province. I know how to cook at home chef level, being a modernist cook. I know about 65% of human history. I know a lot of comparative mythology. I have read a lot of philosophy, from plato to marx while reading and hating all those fake modern philosophers from the right. I have planned and done a 9 year TTRPG campaign in fate core were each played played 5 characters ( think post-humans ) I am taking care of two fully grown adult that are cognitively far worst than me ( my wife organization skill are abysmal and the anxiety makes her nearly non-functionnal ) and her brother who is a deeply autistic recovering alcoholic.
So, when I was burnt out, my doc put me on paxil and then effexor and a neurostimulator. Effexor is shit for me, It mess me up completely and so I am on the third month of weaning - I get brain zaps and shakes and tiredness - been like that for months now.
Now I understand I'm not that stupid, just chemically imbalanced.
So, with all that said, do you think the neurostim is good for me ? My doc is a tool so I have to rely on conversations with other persons who have experiences that looks like mine ...

I've heard mixed things about this. You may be suffering from trauma and need a medication for trauma and tiredness.
That being said, the Vyvanse definitely helps, and that's what everyone who takes it says that I know of.
But I'll say this, I feel tired a lot, not due to my ADHD or meds, but because I may have what's known as chronic fatigue and trauma (well, the trauma I have for sure). I have C-PTSD, which everyone should look up, and try to alleviate.
Ouch!
My wife has CPTSD from being abused as a child. I got her on Prazosin for her nightmare disorder. It's way better - but not perfect.
I should have trauma, my life story sucks and when I tell people what I went through they mostly disbeleive me.
I am from first nation descent in the apartheid state of canada and most "colonial" canadians don't understand what it means...
But all anti-depressant I tried just messed me up - made me feel and act very differently from what I usually am. I didn't like it.
So... How you holding up?
I too was abused as a child. Prazosin,eh? I hear there are meds for C-PTSD, though I'm sure it doesn't entirely go away.
I believe you, trust me.
And yeah, that's kkklanada for you
I'm doing good, btw! But feel mighty guilty about something and I'm trying to push through to my next therapy session.
I have nasal pads and they... fucking work so far?
I feel a difference in the way I breathe through my nose.
I'm going to use this with my CPAP machine.
(Also, if anyone has a CPAP machine, let me know, because I need to get that damn thing to work; I can't sleep with it so far.)
I made a post about it in world news
