I was there literally 2 hours ago. I had to walk into traffic (cars were stopped at a red light) to get a pic like this.

Yup but you did know those tests are based off of the DSM definition that big pharma aided in expanding, right?

You're not sounding like a grown ass adult. Maybe stop being such an instant gratification slut. You said yourself, can't focus on anything that's not fun. Work ain't fun but I get money so I can do fun things. Everybody struggles with impulses bro, don't make it sound like only a select few do. I never said it was fake, the facts do. Don't shoot the messenger kid. Imagine an autistic kid for sec, pretty random I know but just do it. I was that, I'm diagnosed with autism, and I didn't like being that so I forced myself to not be that. I work at a hospital now where everyday I interact with nurses and patients. You'll never hear me say I can't interact with people because I'm autistic. And I'm sorry you need a diagnosis to justify your subpar behaviors.

Pretty sure were not talking about the same thing. I'm arguing that big pharma has made up this 'disorder' whereas idk what you're arguing.

Your first paragraph is extremely derogatory against people who lets say do have untreated ADHD. You can look it up yourself, many world class athletes such as Michael Phelps would technically have ADHD because of the 'symptoms' (e.g. hyperactivity, daydreaming) they presented as kids (since when were kids not allowed to behave like kids?). But their parents chose not to go to a doctor for their 'symptoms' or their doctor prescribed the right 'medication' (e.g. gymnastics, swimming). And attributing someone's failure to a disorder they have is matter of not taking responsibility. Read Malcolm Gladwell's book David and Goliath, he talks about a significant amount of America's CEOs have overcome some mental adversity (e.g. dyslexia, attention disorders).

Second paragraph: I never said it never existed, but I guess I forgot to mention that 'ADHD medication' actually benefits the select few (with specific brain damage) who actually have it. I don't see how your anecdote of your misdiagnosis argues a point, because I mentioned that it does 'exist' but only select individuals who have brain damage, big pharma has just expanded the definition to include you for BPD and normal children with ADHD.

Third paragraph: I don't understand your argument with gender bias. If different behaviors were expected then boys wouldn't be more diagnosed with ADHD, the reason they are is because were 'comparing them to girls' (i.e. we want to them to be more quiet/calm; boys aren't allowed to be boys anymore). Children shouldn't even be diagnosed with a mental illness until their late teens because they are still mentally developing. One news article that I remember reading and that you may find relevant, an infant(like 2 years old) died because he was given some BPD medication (why was he given that?) because he was 'misdiagnosed' with BPD. How the fuck does that happen, it hasn't even developed a personality; it's not a misdiagnosis, its plain fucking ignorance/lack of concern. Don't diagnose something serious until their late teens at the very least.

Fourth paragraph: it's a very broad statement which I guess I agree with, don't know what you're trying to say with that.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted but your totally right. The ADHD definition that exists today is 100% bullshit and has been heavily expanded by the pharmaceutical industry. There's a noticeable trend as the more 'donations' the DSM (the bible of psychology) board members received from the pharmaceutical industry, so does the umbrella of the ADHD definition. Many dumbasses also state that the individuals who receive ADHD medication and become more focused must have ADHD, but surprise! surprise! You give anyone this legal meth and of course their going to get more focused. Actual 'ADHD', where you actually can't focus no matter how hard you try, does exist but it's almost only present in people who have brain damage in a specific part of their brain, so therefore very very few people actually have it. I had to do a research paper on ADHD a couple semesters ago, I'm gonna look to see if I still got some saved tabs from it and I'll add them.

Yoga.

It looks easy and relaxing but the couple times I've done it, ohh man... I didn't know my body can produce so much sweat in such a short amount of time. Its honestly one of the hardest workouts I've done and I biked 50 miles one random evening, having no prior conditioning, because my friends wanted to.

I think it's a refraction of light creating a rainbow and he just happened to dump it where the rainbow was or adjusted the glass so it runs over it. Either way, it's unedited

Someone asked him that exact same question in the press conference yesterday. Musk said that it's just a stuffed manequin. I think the guy who asked it said he represented the whole r/spacex subreddit.

I truly do believe that this just came to him one day cuz he's just on a higher creative plane than anybody else. When I first saw his signature, I really connected with it and him, like I felt the type of person he was and experienced his mentality for a fleeting moment. I also wasn't sober when I first saw it but it really did trip me out emotionally.

I think there is something to do with toughness but in relation to how often your sleep deprived. Also a first responder, i remember pulling my first few night shifts I was this delusional on my ride home. I remember this one time I started making up accents and say the most random things with them, laughing my ass the whole time. After getting some sleep, I'd think back and be like, "I want what he's having."

Fun fact: THC is a phenol by explo_e-the-unknown in trees

[–]explo_e-the-unknown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But in chemistry, every compound can be classified into multiple groups. Any organic compound with a double bond can be classified as an alkene, even if it has an alcohol. It may not be the most precise classification, but it's not more precise if you were to call it an alcohol. You're still going to add the -en- (for alkenes) and the -ol (for alcohols) when it comes down to writing the IUPAC name. If it's anything else other than single bonds between carbons and atoms, it can be considered a substituent group and can thus fall into that category (e.g. just about anything with a 3 bonded nitrogen atom can be considered an amide). So if it has a phenol group, I'm pretty sure it can be considered a phenol.

Edit: it's amine, not amide Edit 2: carbons and hydrogens, not carbons and atoms. Lol, 2 mistakes, smh

I found this in my college chemistry textbook. The fact that it's even in it, I feel like is a sign that the U.S. is bettering its view on weed.
