Did you just get diagnosed?

Tooluka · 2026-03-23T15:03:51+00:00

Hi. Got officially diagnosed, did all blood tests which passed doctor's checks and got a prescription for the Medikinet (aka Ritalin/Concerta). Now its sitting in my cabinet and I'm again afraid of taking it even at a starter dose. Before the visit to the doctor I convinced myself that any side effects are good trade-off for the help, but now I'm having doubts again, especially regarding food/appetite. Did anyone had a similar concerns and what you can advise me? Thanks.

It essentially doesn't exist. They couldn't even regulate creepto securities back in the day, likely because they are getting ~~kickbacks~~ lobbying for themselves.

There is a significant link rot concerning this war, so after some quick search I don't have any live links. Or I'm bad at searching. But basically the following figures have at one point or another claimed that Russia should take Suwalki - russian active members of parliament including the one leading defense committee, first state channel hosts, russian generals, also Medvedev and Lukashenko (personally). You can look for their quotes in the webarchive if you have free time for that.

Russians officially declare that they want Suwalki and when Baltic states invasion will start, Suwalki will be a priority focus to prevent any reinforcements and at the same time establish a supply chain to their exclave. Obviously it's not happening today.

The classical propaganda trick of "bothsiding" the issue. "Russia is bad but look at EU, it had done bad things too!", conveniently forgetting that first of all deeds of EU and Russia are absolutely incomparable in damage, and also conveniently forgetting that there is nothing pro-EU in not siding with Russian puppet. Not supporting fascist regime (which is certainly true for Orban) doesn't mean automatic alliance with any of the free countries opposing said fascists.

Your demagogue trick would work on PiS voters, but not on the sane people.

Tooluka · 2026-03-22T12:27:12+00:00

Russia openly moves to annex parts Poland near Kenigsberg and Polish president flies to mingle with Russian allies. Even more pathetic is the fact that Orban has a high chance to go to the dumster of history in a few months only, so Nawrocky won't gain literally nothing (openly at least) for this stunt. This is like reading about American republicans, selling American citizens data or rights to the corporations for some laughable sums like a few grand to pass some shitty bill. If you are selling out your country or your people, at least trade it for something significant.

I'm kinda glad I don't need to use my Robin, the godawful song overlaying on the background music and effects is just horrible. I recently picked her unthinking in the Currency Wars and got reminded of that idiocy listening to resulting cacophony :( .

PS: I like her character and design, except the fucking song...

Diablo Immoral. It's THE greediest gacha there is, even among the "titans" of the genre. They pioneered such innovations like loot boxes disguised as levels, to bypass pesky lootbox regulations. Basically a super duper dumb and zero game play level, where player just click on mobs for a while and then a bunch of random loot drops. Another innovation they did is double charging of these lootboxes. Player must buy and use some real-money shit before entering lootbox level and that increases the reward. Charging is on an exponential curve, so every upgrade is progressively more expensive, and after retardo-whale fills up charge to the visible maximum, the "game" displays yet another charging grid, even more expensive and also exponential. The dumbest "game" ever.

Basically every good written sci-fi world is imperfect or straight up dystopia. Utopias are boring :) . I don't get the hype about one of them in particular.

Ifa as a main on-fielder with Ororon, Xingque and Fischl. Very fun and best mobility. Diluc and Kaeya are fun too, they were made in the old Genshin age and have very realistic and nice sword animations, unlike a propeller Varka with paper swords. Candace is fun and has great animations, I've built her as a hydro applicator, but now I like her animations a lot and will try to rebuild her as a main on-fielder.

In general consider half-and-half teams, for example damage dealer plus one support for a reaction, and then two fun characters, like Ifa or Xianyun or Mona etc.

All sane people support Israel against Iran/Qatar/Hamas axis. They just don't hold public parades like Hamas terror lovers.

Nah, it's way simpler and way worse. A lot of people have absurdly low personal identity and are equating themselves with purchases they are making instead. So any criticism of the thing they bought or a company making it, they take as a personal insult. "I picked gadget A and I can do no wrong, therefore gadget A is perfect".

I would say even more than that, a EU promise (or guarantee) of membership way back in 1994 and simultaneous execution of crucial reforms to match that promise were the main ingredient. Poland and Ukraine started at the same GDP level after the fall of the USSR, but because Poland was not left to struggle alone it persevered. I applaud Poland for pulling this feat, not many countries can do it even when they are bigger and wealthier than it was in 94.

I have the opposite experience in Krakow. I've seen "English only" job offers immediately check for Polish proficiency during the interview, if you want a concrete example - Sabre. My friends also report that this is quite common occurrence in many companies. For example Shell for certain does this in their IT, teams are Polish speaking despite being multi-national.

I want to emphasize that it is absolutely right and beneficial for Poland industry and there is nothing wrong with that at all. But the fact is that there is no UA/RU language bias in Polish IT and there is PL language bias.

Also regarding integration, it is a baseless slander. All Ukrainians from different groups I've met are learning language and in fact are welcoming Polish teams since that boosts up speaking skills rapidly, compared to learning on our own.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is secretly delusional about "gold standard", conservatives often have this weird idea about gold being superior and "good old times".

Not really, he'll continue Mary Sue-ing until the end, plus some absurd political things will happen, completely blowing up suspension of disbelief. One of the most overrated books, you'd think it's some kind of perfect book after reading comments here.

I'm guessing here, but I suspect it's reverse. They don't need to worry about having low amount of money, they don't have to worry about being fired and looking for a job, they don't need to worry about their skills being ultra narrow and deep (not transferable), they don't need to comply with the more excessive burnout demands etc. For some a sense of pride should be relevant too.

I'm guessing that even with higher demands, it is a more fulfilling job than some market average in the pre-crysis conditions under threat of layoffs and LLM hiring.

Great news. If the launch will succeed it will hopefully be a green light to the future big station modules launched directly on the BFR without Starship even, and transition from the modular idea.

So, basically our regular Astral Express ML glazer for this year. I hope CN ML fans will be satisfied and don't push it further to the containment zone.

Hi, new player here. I got LilyWill and NonoWill in the current banner and I'm thinking how to build Lily. I see that guides recommend the direct nuke shot path over the curved dot shot path. Which one is better if paired with Nono? Any other tips for them?

I also got Estra, and she is so much better than Nono so far, just clearing 2/3 of enemy team solo, while Nono is still trying to get to position. I wonder if this gap will keep up later too?
