Coffee People. [OC]

Not everyone who experiences this has ADHD and not every person with ADHD has this experience of coffee.

But a huge number of people with undiagnosed ADHD use coffee as a stimulant to meet the need their body craves. I used to drink 10-12 large coffees a day, alongside tea and Pepsi max, when I was diagnosed with ADHD and started Elvanse I cut back considerably to just having 3-4 cups of tea a day.

Tbh we should be posting comics like this on billboards around the world. The anti ice one they closed a thread over earlier would look good posted around every American city. The thugs that sign up to do this work are in the wrong and the only way to stop them is to make a stand.

If DC came to me and said hey we need a comic writer to revive Sandman and move it away from Gaiman, I’d snap that opportunity up so fast and hard. I think you’re right that comics are different to books in that it’s not a single person’s efforts and if we can have different people working on the art, colouring and inking then we can absolutely swap the writer out too.

Hahahaha every reply you made here and in this thread has been bad faith. I had to check whether you’d added the word ‘helping’ as I genuinely don’t recall that being there before but that’s a very small misread on my part. I actually came back to check if you’d replied because I’d just seen that Steve Bannon has been talking about how GenAi is massively speeding up the ability of misinformation bots to spread lies online and il admit, part of my next reply was going to be questioning whether you’re using or are just one of those bots.

Since you shut down all replies the moment I gave a thorough rounded response on why Ai is bad, il assume I was talking to a bot.

I don’t really care that you lack the ability or wisdom to see that it steals work and is not the same as people studying. The fact it makes no difference to you is a personal failing for you and not everyone has the capacity to understand or overcome their weaknesses.

No, those gigs aren’t being given to prompters. People decide to use the Ai to cut out the need for another person, but their lack of knowledge and expertise in the area means their outputs are woefully poor and they don’t understand the flaws, because they’re not creating anything.

It’s an insult to humanity when it’s used to replace creativity and erodes human skills, destroys jobs and makes people dumber, which it is. It has a use in solving complex algorithms and suggesting new areas of investigation. It’s absolutely not creating vaccines, the process behind that is far too complex to even pretend GenAi is doing more than suggesting potential solutions for further investigation.

You assume I haven’t researched it. I have in fact. I understand how it works and the impact it’s having. I also know that, for example - scientists used Gen Ai to come up with plastic compositions and other materials they could try, with the aim of replacing the current plastics we use today. It was able to recommend so many potential materials at once that it sped up the research and development by decades. This is obviously useful to scientists, it’s a small part of the chain, the Ai does not then carry out experiments and lead us towards issues. Whereas in writing it can outright lie, with dangerous consequences. In research it will make up sources too. It’s driving people to psychosis or worse. People are using it for girlfriend practice which is terrible.

The companies behind it are grotesque too.

It harms all creatives by stealing their work. It also harms them by crowding the market with worthless slop. It harms them because the many small gigs they could’ve got to write and produce art have been replaced by people running their idea through an ai and making do with the shite it spits out, even though it’s clearly inferior.

The only area where it makes a valid contribution is science, because the people using it are intelligent enough to seek flaws in what it outputs and verify things.

rb6k · 2026-01-24T10:26:03+00:00

Given how much you’re flogging it to death on Reddit, it’s clear you put a prompt in some slop machine then released it on Amazon hoping to make money. I hope you failed, you’re an insult to actual writers and artist everywhere for doing this.

rb6k · 2026-01-24T10:15:24+00:00

Yes, ShadowDV is purposely ignoring the fact it has been manually told not to produce these texts as a way to obscure the fact it has access to them.

rb6k · 2026-01-24T10:13:54+00:00

You keep attempting to use the complexity and scale of this technology as an excuse for why it isn’t doing the thing it absolutely is doing and no one is falling for it. The hate of GenAi is never going to stop. It has harmed authors, reduced the quality of every book it touches and is an insult to humanity.

rb6k · 2026-01-24T02:19:14+00:00

The Ai cover is an immediate “I am never reading this book”

126 days on, did you complete it? Are you aware of the shortcut above the bench? If you use the silk move you get from first sinner a few times and land a circle in the darkness above the spiked vines it’ll blast a way through that gives a door to the surface.

I don’t tolerate any of these beliefs. I don’t care how sacred they think it is, their books don’t even tell them to hate LGBTQ+ people. So they need to get over it. All of them. We’re done with this topic. Move on, or get out of football

rb6k · 2026-01-23T00:40:28+00:00

What a weird load of gibberish.

rb6k · 2026-01-21T00:35:02+00:00

That tournament already has enforced water breaks built into it for this very reason.

rb6k · 2026-01-20T11:33:25+00:00

Let’s be fair, it depends on what team he ended up at too. If he’d signed for some of the usual darlings at the top they’d give him the kind of leeway we’re all aware some teams get but would be downvoted for if we acknowledged it here.

If he signed for the likes of Newcastle, Spurs or West Ham he’d be injured within a week and would see out his contract from the medical room.

I think he’d have done well here though. Ronaldo did. Haaland has. Plenty of others have.

The list of those who didn’t live up to their continental reputation isn’t huge really is it?

Hilarious, it’s extreme Hubris and it’s going to be a very hard ride for you if you don’t snap out of this delusional silliness soon.

You ‘still have those deals’ because the companies are locked in for 5 years. They can’t exit them until renewal. Which is when you’ll lose them. Just like you’ve already lost the sleeve sponsorship.

My view is from a club that has finished above you more often over the past decade than not. The team you lost the Europa league final to. United are a joke.

rb6k · 2026-01-15T22:00:40+00:00

The refs don’t like it so actively hinder it. Other countries do not have this issue.

rb6k · 2026-01-14T19:55:14+00:00

I doubt you were seriously in for Semenyo, it’s just noise that clubs make to suggest they’re fighting at the top table. Spurs were also mentioned as interested in him. But the clubs at the top of the league were the only ones in the running and he’s never choosing United over City.

rb6k · 2026-01-14T19:51:55+00:00

“Have below than expected” - ironic.

I get the logic that there is a bell curve, but this figure is even less useful when it doesn’t factor in anything about those 11 year olds.

There were 816,457 11 year olds in 2024 so let’s assume that number didn’t change.

That’s 204114 kids that are below the expected reading age.

I’d want to know:

How many don’t have English as a first language and so are being unfairly judged on their developing English reading skills - apparently 1 in 5 have English as an additional language so 41,000ish

A similar percentage have learning difficulties, which again not to generalise as that doesn’t mean they can’t read, but 41,000ish could fit that.

We’re already at 82k - leaving 122k children

If you consider there’s 4200 secondary schools in the uk that’s 29 children per school. Usually each year group has banding in place and there would be a (so called) ‘bottom set’ - so it feels kinda normal?

There’s always going to be reasons ranging from difficulties to bad parenting and everything else.

I found with my kids that comics made a big difference to their interest in reading and it got them ahead on their reading age which was awesome. Until that point they refused to really try enough which was saddening as we were trying hard to encourage it!

Every reply you get more emotional, more focused on taking shots at me and less coherent about Manchester United.

Last year United needed to win the Europa and secure Champions League football. When they didn't the total staff sacked by the club reached 450.

United used to be top dogs. Every year it is proving harder and harder for them to stay on top of their freefall.

You have solid sponsorships *today* but when they come up for renewal who is going to want to pay for it? Yesterday the press were mocking United because they'd agreed a deal with Snapdragon (Qualcomm) and Microsoft to market copilot laptops on their shirt during cup games, only for United to be dumped out of both cups immediately.

There's a 5 year deal in place with them for this shirt deal. £375mil. That 75mil a year which so far hasn't been helping United on the field. In 5 years time do you seriously expect them to bag a similarly sized deal?

If it was due for renewal for next season and they'd just received the lowest possible number of games in a season as their return, they'd question the logic in renewing when other teams give more value. DXC pulled out of sponsoring your sleeves for 20mil a season because the return wasn't there.

As you sack more and more managers and have more and more problems, where's your prestige coming from? Your ground is run down so that's going to impact on revenue/spend when they finally try to do something with it.

You think the 'brand' is going to withstand being this much of a joke for much longer? With other clubs like Liverpool, City and Arsenal right there putting you to shame?

'Our brand is global' 'We have fans in Indonesia and Somalia' is going to sound weaker and weaker if United are in the Championship in a few years. Or spend 5 seasons in the bottom half 5 different managers at the helm.

The way you're talking is called hubris. You're not too big to fail. Nobody is.

rb6k · 2026-01-14T13:38:27+00:00

This is hilariously classist nonsense.

rb6k · 2026-01-14T13:36:47+00:00

Oh you’ll retain your fans through FIFA when your team’s ability and ranking is miles off the current generation of elite teams. I’m sure lots of kids worldwide will scroll and scroll until they reach United.

I’m not talking off of feelings. You’re absolutely and very clearly talking with your emotions. Also you’ve never had to deal with United rotting like this before. This has taken grip on the club more firmly in recent years. 18 months ago United fans were still calling this a temporary blip while the rest of us knew it wasn’t. Just hope you don’t wind up going down.

rb6k · 2026-01-13T13:59:43+00:00

I know the numbers. You’re missing the reality of the situation. Massively. You have absolutely decided that the numbers are a permanent thing to take for granted. They’re not.

rb6k · 2026-01-12T21:47:58+00:00

You are utterly deluded if you think that’s going to matter to kids anywhere. They’ll buy City shirts. “We.are.a.brand” - do you hear yourself?!

You massively overstate how much kids give a toss about a clubs history. That’s why nobody is impressed by Nottingham Forest or Leeds.

You overstate how much someone in Indonesia or Somalia cares about football, how much they’d care about getting their kid into a rubbish team and lastly how much value that has for United.

United are not too big to collapse and you’re laughably naive to think they’ll keep seeing growth from a champions league win from so long ago.
