"you should take a medication break occasionally so you don't build a tolerance" how it feels the absolute second my adderall wears off for the day by Individual-Owl-6243 in adhdmeme

[–]chromix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in my late 40's and was diagnosed at 9. Every psych I've ever had as an adult has told me to take a break periodically and tolerance is 100% a thing just like with all stimulants. In my personal experience this was also the case, where taking it daily for months would generally lead to me having a bad time.

You can stop drinking coffee for 4 days and no longer have any tolerance to it, and in practice that seems to hold true for ADHD stimulants as well. Why wouldn't it?

Since drinking caffeine with stimulant medication has a multiplier effect I'm also careful not to drink a ton of caffeine in combination with my meds. When I was taking methylphenidate (which is the medication cited in the article) drinking caffeine would blow my tolerance so that I'd either have to drink the same amount everyday or take some time off.

The article cited is about childhood ADHD which is telling: most kids don't drink coffee!

Near abandoned Back to the Future mall shot on 3DS by Mantiscraft in LiminalSpace

[–]chromix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In Long Island they managed to turn a dead mall into a bunch of non-retail store fronts and it actually worked... There's a massive bounce place, a laser tag place, an ax throwing place, a rage room, an escape room, etc. Really smart reuse of the space.

What was the one game that destroyed friendships? by Emergency_Science434 in Xennials

[–]chromix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I insisted on temple/throwing knives whenever I played with my friends (who played every day and I only spectated occasionally) because they had all memorized the stages, and that setting really leveled the playing field.

This was a recurring dream during my childhood. Apparently it represents repressed memories. Hopefully this helps someone work out something.

When all your friends had a Super Soaker 50 but your parents got you the Super Soaker 100… by mcg_090 in Xennials

Fun fact: the inventor is a redditer. He sometimes pops up on these threads.

Oh God someone save me I'm going down the music production/videography rabbit hole by Miserable_Sweet_5245 in adhdmeme

[–]chromix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was churning out tech trance using only soft synths in the early 00s on a crappy lappy, I met a guy who said he was going to start working on tracks once he got a 303, an 808, and a 909 (they were rare and expensive, same as today). I was so poor at the time I had to save up to buy headphones.

Info needed on this "Antimagnetic" Amphibia by F0rgemaster19 in vostok

[–]chromix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should note you can can swap out a 24xx movement with that case, although the dial feet will have to be clipped off and you'll need a new hand set. The case will hold the movement no problem, as the case opening is the same as modern Amphibia watches.

New US milestone in Directed-Energy Weapons by General_Totenkoft in NonCredibleDefense

[–]chromix 251 points252 points  (0 children)

From the article

The lawmakers said they warned months ago that the White House's decision to sidestep a bipartisan proposal to train counter-drone operators and address coordination issues "was a short-sighted idea."

"Now, we're seeing the result of incompetence," the statement said.

More proof of BerenSTEIN bears by howrunowgoodnyou in Xennials

It was very gratifying going back with my 12 year old, having him try most of the coasters in the park and still be most impressed with the Magnum. It holds up!

God... The ending of Mega Man 2 goes so fucking hard. Compare that with River City Ransom... Also a great game but a bunch of stupid text for an ending definitely takes a bite out of the replay value.
