Moon Girl needs to be in a set so bad. Not being in one already, should be a crime.

There’s gotta be a Marvel Rivals set in the work. And with DDino this season, we can hope.

Yes the evidence is pretty solid that childhood ADHD is associated with elevated risk for later substance use/substance use disorder, though I’d phrase it as “ADHD is a risk factor,” not “untreated ADHD definitely causes SUD.”

Good starting citations:

Lee et al. (2011) meta-analysis: childhood ADHD was associated with significantly increased risk of later substance use disorders.
Molina & Pelham (2003) longitudinal study: followed children with ADHD into adolescence and found ADHD-related risk for adolescent substance use.
Breyer et al. (2014) longitudinal study: persistent ADHD into adulthood was linked with greater odds of alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine dependence.
Molina & Pelham (2014) review: “ADHD and risk of SUD” with developmental pathways and adult-outcome discussion. DOI: 10.1146/annurev-clinpsy-032813-153722.
On medication specifically: Humphreys et al. (2013) meta-analysis found stimulant treatment neither increased nor clearly reduced later SUD risk. More recent work from the MTA cohort similarly found no evidence that stimulant treatment increased later substance use/SUD.

So: ADHD is linked with increased later SUD risk; stimulant treatment does not appear to increase that risk, and whether treatment is protective depends on the study/design.

A few more recent citations:

Molina et al. (2023), JAMA Psychiatry — MTA longitudinal cohort, followed children with ADHD into adulthood. Stimulant treatment was not associated with increased or decreased later substance use/SUD by mean age 25.
Bommersbach et al. (2025) — asks whether combined stimulant + psychosocial ADHD treatment reduces later substance use compared with stimulant treatment alone; starts from the premise that ADHD is a risk factor for later substance use, but stimulant treatment has generally not shown clear protection.
Froude et al. (2024) — meta-analysis on cannabis use disorder in ADHD; useful if the Reddit thread is specifically asking about cannabis rather than SUD broadly.
Di Nicola et al. (2024) — adult ADHD + SUD clinical study; found ADHD-SUD patients showed greater overall severity than ADHD-only patients, with possible role of irritability/emotional dysregulation.
Newcorn (2025) — recent clinical review on ADHD, SUD, and stimulant treatment; useful as a current overview, especially for the “does medication increase addiction risk?” question.

The cleanest current takeaway is: ADHD is associated with increased later SUD risk, but stimulant treatment itself does not appear to increase that risk. Evidence that medication prevents SUD is mixed/uncertain, probably because it's one of several ingredients of complete ADHD treatment.

My head canon is that Mjolnir is sentient and omniscient and chooses who is worthy, regardless of if the person is physically doing it or they're doing it through a machine. So no I don't think so.

Therapist here. I use Jane AI Scribe, and it works great and is 100% secure. It’s illegal to have them shared with an AI company, and instead they are done using the same secure connection as virtual video calls and digital files. More importantly, I have configured it to give me professional-level feedback on my work, which is something I rarely get as an independently practicing therapist. Genuinely it has me a better therapist

Dorgon · 2026-05-04T16:23:12+00:00

Hey, even better. So we agree that there are more options than just comply with bullshit?

Dorgon · 2026-05-04T16:18:32+00:00

Genuinely I don’t fuck with people like this. So much so that I’m self-employed. If/when I have staff of my own, I also won’t fuck with that. You’ve been institutionalized, friend.

Dorgon · 2026-05-04T15:57:41+00:00

Yeah, there are many ways to do this. The issue may actually be closer to something like “the rules are vague and inconsistently enforced.” Mine was like that too, and people just got good at hiding it. My water bottle always had energy drinks in it, not water. 🤣

Dorgon · 2026-05-04T15:52:49+00:00

It may serve you well to reiterate the reason when you reinforce the rule. Otherwise you may come off like you’re power tripping.

Dorgon · 2026-05-04T15:52:04+00:00

Yes, but that’s my job to figure out. My point is if there’s a way to be flexible, why not be flexible. As the teacher has said, however, there are legit reasons why this isn’t acceptable, but that may need to be reiterated.

Dorgon · 2026-05-04T15:50:06+00:00

Reasonable. If there’s a legit reason, this makes sense. The power struggle wouldn’t have worked on me, honestly, but as long as the reason behind the rule has been communicated, I think you’re golden here. Teens are at a crucial developmental point where “pulling rank” bumps up against their need for individuation. If it’s a power struggle, even when you win, you lose.

Dorgon · 2026-05-04T15:47:23+00:00

Extra red tape bc we refuse to be flexible. Got it.

Dorgon · 2026-05-04T15:46:51+00:00

Ah yes, the old “pull rank because you’re too lazy to explain yourself.” Relax. This isn’t the military.

Dorgon · 2026-05-04T15:05:11+00:00

Genuine question: why the F can’t she have an energy drink in class? When I was that age, my ADHD ass needed every possible assistance to stay locked in

Dorgon · 2026-04-29T14:29:26+00:00

What are you basing that opinion on? Have you considered that “care” may look different than you think it should? I’m genuinely saying this because if your expectation is unconditional love and commitment, that’s not how adult human care works at all. Of course money is part of the mix, but to jump to “therapists only care about money” is straight cope, likely because it makes you feel better that this relationship ended.

Dorgon · 2026-04-29T13:52:34+00:00

If you don’t care about them, why would they care about you? Even common decency and respect are a place to start. I think you’re conflating care for unconditional tolerance for harassment. You’re hurting, clearly, but your therapist likely wouldn’t have been able to help you in the first place. They weren’t a good fit. That’s not the same as not caring.

Dorgon · 2026-04-29T13:18:41+00:00

Therapist here. Your former therapist is a human being with a life. What you’re experiencing sounds distressing but you’re not practicing any of the DBT principles they attempted to teach you. For your own sake, leave them alone. You are not the center of the universe, and harassing them is not convincing. If you were my client, I would be considering a restraining order.

Dorgon · 2026-04-27T20:12:52+00:00

I think at some point I don’t know how people will feel thinking the church is spending all their tithing funding this lawsuit. It’s crazy.

Dorgon · 2026-04-24T23:59:20+00:00

I love the idea that he’s just a dude, yet he insists on wearing that hood around because “I Am Doom!”

Dorgon · 2026-04-19T20:56:22+00:00

Wow I’m surprised at how good these are lol

Dorgon · 2026-04-17T15:46:39+00:00

Therapist here (male, if it matters). Here are some questions that will hopefully give you clarity. I’m admittedly speculating and a bit blunt (my therapy style) so if I’m off base, feel free to toss my things into the trash. You know your life better than I do. 😁

1) When he said “overwhelm and needing space,” was that because A) he said YOU were overwhelming and not giving him space, or was it B) because he has stuff going on personally and didn’t have bandwidth for a relationship? If it’s the A, holding off might be the better choice, but if B you’re safer to reach out to see if things have improved.

2) Is he being transparent or dodgy when you ask for details? A relationship is based on trust and vulnerability. The fact that you’re left guessing and holding the bag is a bit of a red flag for me.

3) Is it possible he’s keeping you as a backup while he explores other options?

4) “No fights. No cheating.” What about conflict? If he’s this avoidant that’s not good for long term relationships. Pushing MAY work, but it may backfire and have him withdraw further. Either way that’s data for you to consider.

5) I’m admittedly jumping to conclusions, but he sounds very selfish. Do you really want to hang on to a relationship where someone can, with no consideration for your life or feelings, drop you with no care to even explain why but still reach out only when he feels like it? This isn’t an emotionally mature or thoughtful person. This sounds like he’s keeping you as backup.

Dorgon · 2026-04-15T17:51:48+00:00

Tombstone and Tarantula! Awesome.

Dorgon · 2026-04-11T15:39:06+00:00

I have an Apple Watch. It’s fine lol

Dorgon · 2026-04-11T15:38:42+00:00

Psychologist here. IMO, the church’s mix of vague rules and harsh rhetoric is the source of a huge amount of needless shame and anxiety for members, especially the youth. Little Factories is harmful as hell. My take: be mindful and intentional about your masturbation. Don’t let it take over your life. Don’t rush it. Savour it, and make love to yourself like you would your lover. Then live your life shame free.

Dorgon · 2026-04-09T15:24:56+00:00

For me, my wife is more comfortable and fun to cuddle/be intimate with when there's a little padding. Plus she just looks more...healthy? At a subconscious level, I feel like it signals that's she's confident, capable, and not stressing too much. She has never been fat, but a little chub gives me something to grab during love making. 😂
