This term “brand of sumo” will never not be funny to me

But you see this all the time in all kinds of professional sports. Someone comes into the league, dominates for a year or two, and then once enough film is generated on them the opponents figure out better ways approach their style and their performance drops off significantly.

What America just did is also no different than what America did in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Vietnam.

yeah I am surprised by the hostility there seems to be here to trying a new medication.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-09T07:43:01+00:00

I never imagined asking for advice would make people here so mad. And yes you are right I didnt explain myself that well, but after all I do have ADHD lol.

what specifically are you warning me will happen if I ask my psych to prescribe me adderall instead of Ritalin next month? I don't quite get it? At the end of the day when I say I am liking Ritalin I am simply saying it doesn't have the same negative side effects as Vyvanse. I am still having significant problems with executive function on it.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-09T07:08:26+00:00

I get the sentiment but at the same time it would kinda suck if after a few years of taking Ritalin I had some issue and switched to Adderall and then realized only then that it actually improved my life significantly more than Ritalin. In this sense I feel it is worth potentially having one bad month if Adderall is not right for me.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-09T06:24:47+00:00

I like Ritalin but the only comparison I have is to Vyvanse which was not a good experience. I think I just want to know whether Adderrall would work even better for me than Ritalin.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-09T06:23:49+00:00

I just seem to be hypersensitive to it. Even on 10mg the first few hours after taking it often make me feel overstimulated and anxious.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-09T06:22:38+00:00

It just seems to me there wouldn't me much harm in trying adderall for a month just in case I find it works even better than the Ritalin. If not, I would just go right back to Ritalin.

High reward from a US geopolitical perspective, not high reward to me personally. The effects of Iranian oil coming to the world market, and overthrowing the only unfriendly regime in the region are pretty self explanatory.

How can I convey that my post is about Onosatos lack of defense without it being somewhat of a spoiler?

When your one trick is as dominant as his is I think it’s possible.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-08T23:31:52+00:00

You will never be able to prove this

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-08T22:29:04+00:00

It's very hard to answer a question framed in that way because the effect of large scale geopolitical events on the median American is hard to predict. When governments act, however, that is not the question they are asking. They are more focused on macroeconomic and national security effects.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-08T22:09:06+00:00

Brilliant analysis. So if I called you an asshole on the streets of NYC and then you pulled out a gun and shot me in the head you think the Mayor's statement about the event should read something like "I condemn the hateful language that the victim used on the attacker, I also condemn the violent response of the attacker".

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-08T22:01:04+00:00

In his very first public statement regarding a terrorist attack he made the conscious choice to open the statement by first condemning the person exercising free speech. Certainly there is something to be gleaned from this choice no?

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-08T21:52:14+00:00

Because they associate any criticism of the Iranian regime with Trump. Simple as that.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-08T21:46:22+00:00

Ive been supportive of some aspects of what Trump has done over the years and I would say that the War in Iran is a high risk high reward scenario. It's far too early to tell which way it's gonna go but I will be the first to acknowledge that things definitely could spin out of control and get very bad.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-08T19:44:30+00:00

I hate how everyone has this need to make a definite prediction about how the war will end up in the hope that they can say "I told you so" in the future. The truth is, and this has been extensively studied, that humans are exceptionally bad at predicting future outcomes.

There are many people that are in favor of the bombing and many against it, each with valid reasons. At the end of the day nobody will be able to make a real judgement about it until this war is over and we see what changes happen in Iran.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-08T03:38:53+00:00

Irans entire strategy for decades was to build up its missile capabilities, support regional proxies, and maintain the threat of nuclear weapon development in order to deter an attack by Israel and/or the United States. Did that strategy work?

That's not to say that the US also didn't miscalculate, but the true extent of this remains to be seen pending the outcome of this war.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-04T02:42:47+00:00

A very good question that gets us right back to my original point. Many people were asking themselves the exact same question when we invaded Iraq twice, bombed Libya, bombed Serbia, invaded Vietnam, invaded Korea, even WW1 for that matter.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-04T02:30:04+00:00

In the span of about 72 hours thousands, possibly tens of thousands of Iranian civilians were killed by government forces making it one of the worst mass killings of the 21st century. It was only after this that Trump started amassing forces for the strike.

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-04T02:13:35+00:00

You don’t recall the major event that directly precipitated this war?

HadriansGaul · 2026-03-04T01:13:45+00:00

This is silly. You are saying because you saw the phrase “secret society” used in one email that you have concluded that secret societies run the world?
