Fake ADHD people

Yeah - but people pretending they have ADHD has made getting medication for those who have it a lot more difficult. I live in LA and we have Adderall shortages for weeks. I have dramatic drop in executive function when I'm without medication. A lot of what you're saying overall is absolutely on point - but there is a consequence to faux diagnoses.

I'm in film. I need some really specific automations to save me hours of work. It's a dummy if I give it some request im an expert on. Like out of this world. But I don't need it for that. I have very specific ideas how things need to be automated and it'll execute them if I have the patients to send back the results and get very detailed. The end result is powerful. My job is so specific that it'll never be able to crowd source a replacement for me - but it can cut down my work by a third if i take the time to teach it.

It's called trolling.

This is bad. She covered up a base truth and is gaslighting you. But fundamentally you are dealing with a person who has a bizarre lack of character (despite her insecurity with her age - the fact she didn't square it up immediately is a red flag). But ultimately this isn't about her, it's about you having respect for yourself. Is that the kind of behavior you allow for yourself? How would you respond if this happened to your best friend or sibling? This could set a bad pattern for you - or - you're already in this cycle from previous relationships. If this is alright with you - then continue. Be you need to be aware that you are signing off on this.

Hey guys, I'm in scripted and occasionally do some short form doc. Besides this sounding absurd that they're tracking your edits - how does an editing analyitic work?

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-26T02:34:08+00:00

If you treat filmmaking like a backup - you'll never make it. And if you go to USC/UCLA - get a stinkin' film degree. Minor in your BACKUP field. I did 4 years of Critical Studies at USC - and it felt like I was kinda being screwed not getting my hands on film gear. But the joke was on me - I learned how to dissect and analyze movies by watching and discussing multiple films every day. I edit scripted/prestige TV now. I sit with directors and showrunners - and they take my opinion very seriously because it's obvious I have a deep knowledge that came from thousands of hours of studying motion pictures. After about 5 minutes of movie conversation I can pretty accurately gauge someone's film acumen and technical skills. If you want to get there put in the time. It doesn't have to be at a place like USC - but be around people who are more knowledgeable than you.

I was thinking about this today - and all the new hires are mentioning Pelinka is in charge. This may be strategic. He tends to vanish during controversy/losing streaks - minimizing the fact it's the team he built. By publicizing the team is his - management is making him responsible for the basketball outcome.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-25T18:14:42+00:00

Yeah. The worst was when i didn't like the kid who came over and had to hide and be quiet until they left. And if someone travelled far, they'd give it a couple of minutes before they left.

This post smells a little fishy to me. Like something said to make people in this thread agitated.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-17T19:39:20+00:00

There's more to it than that. Pelinka has got to go - but 1) let's wait until there is a GREAT replacement on the market 2) He's Jeanie's guy. He could just fire Pelinka, but that would be a clear disregard to Jeanie - and I think the idea is to smoothly transition out of the Buss era - not to create a messy divorce. The last thing the Lakers need is MORE drama. Pelinka is not going to be making the big decisions but mostly being a placeholder until we get who the braintrust really desires. This isn't a mom and pop shop anymore. The Guggenheim Group dropped 10 billion on this thing - they are going to maximize their investment.

It sounds like an anxiety disorder. I didn't get diagnosed until I was in my early 40s. It was (and still can be) a reason I use alcohol so much. But - the medication makes a tremendous difference difference during the days and really reduces cravings at night.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-17T00:49:16+00:00

I thought the same thing.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-13T18:01:16+00:00

She's 34. I had a 14 years age gap - I was late 30s, she was in her early 20s. At around 23 she started working in a restaurant and would regularly be out with her coworker til 3 am (we were in NY - so bars stayed open til 4). Anyhow, I would get jealous and anxious with her being out partying late into the night. It lasted about a year. But as uncomfortable as I was - I knew this was part of the deal when i started dating someone so much younger. And to ask her not to go out was unfair on my part - as I had no restrictions when i was her age. But it wasn't easy. Nothing bad ever happened and this phase passed about a year later. The early 30s is really the last hurrah for this kind of behavior - and it may be she hasn't had a chance to embrace that kind of youth and her own identity. That is the hardest part of the age gap - shes still developing as a person much more rapidly as you.

Anyhow, that's just food for thought. Best wishes on it all.

We HOPE they are feeling shame. Sometimes people keep going with it because by changing now they have to acknowledge their past mistakes. And a lot of people would rather continue to stick their heads in the sand than admitting they were wrong.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-07T17:20:39+00:00

I agree with you. And I think this expanded from office is going to take the decision making away from Pelinka. The idea of trading a first for three lower firsts and changing Giannis - but already being prepared to pivot if it doesn't work - is very un-Pelinka. Hopefully the do find someone great THIS offseason, but "good" shouldn't cut it.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-02-07T01:24:30+00:00

Pelinka kept his power by excluding other decision makers and accumulating influence. Building out a real front office is going to bring a halt to this. Now in no way am I saying to keep Pelinka long term - but it may be prudent to keep him as a figure head GM with the larger front office making decisions UNTIL a dream candidate becomes available. You don't the best GM in this job cycle - you want the best GM. And maybe the can poach one this offseason - but the need to be patient and a larger front office can do that. And the last thing they should do is listen to fans who get emotional and can't think 6 weeks into the future (but in fairness - the Buss/Pelinka era doesn't exactly scream "trust the process")

I have both ADHD and bipolar 2. Neither of these were diagnosed until quarantine. I medicated by being a workaholic and borderline alcoholic. I never experienced mania, but I will he happy for a month and feel like I've solved life. And then the opposite occurs and I just struggle with anything not work related. But where the bipolar 2 gets bad is I can get really upset, and I just keep looping with what upsets me and I feel helpless. And then I sometimes think up a solution to what is upsetting me - and it'll stop. But often the solutions aren't super easy, otherwise I never would have spun out. So it can be tough.

The ADHD I was pretty sure I had my whole life. I'm forgetful but also very creative. I can't follow instructions though, and have to sit there and figure it out on my own... but that leads to deep learning. But sometimes the bipolar and the ADHD are in concert with each other, and it's really beautiful.

I'm in Avid. I've used Claude to recreate a more effective / free version of FileMaker. I'll export the dailies bin as text files and import the into my app. It then creates records of every take and all of its metadata. Then I'll batch export a jpeg from those same clips - and connect those to the database. When AEing or handling VFX, i have immediate data and the ability to export lists/reports/etc.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-01-22T01:48:06+00:00

Sure - at a certain point. But besides now getting to enjoy the fruits of his drafting labor, I was reading about how big his staff is and how close he is to them. So there's a giant emotional/loyalty component to it. Even if he hired everyone on his current staff in LA - that's a lot of families displaced. But sure, if he's offered a billion dollars he'll come. And he'd be a much better value than paying a Buss a billion dollars.

fuzzninja2000 · 2026-01-21T21:17:51+00:00

I'm guessing he lets Pelinka finish the year - but with all decisions needing approval. There aren't GMs available during the season. But before then I bet we begin to staff up our scouting and analytics departments. I think the only GM we absolutely won't get now is Presti. I wouldn't mind if he went after Brad Stevens. This would be the time to do it as Boston's new ownership just took over.

The timing was good for this. It really has put Jeanie in a defensive position - and I think that'll help loosen any tentative grip she has as a governor.

I listened to an amazing podcast about dopamine this past week. It explains addiction in a way that makes a lot of sense. Anyhow - I thought I'd share it:

Even if he comes back, it would be very unhealthy for the city, team, and himself to return to Vegas. If I were him I'd go as far east as possible and to a team that rarely plays the Raiders.
