It was last revised under the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 where it was raised from 13 to 16… so I would think it probably was designed exactly that way. None of the parliaments in the UK seem to have any intention of raising it.

I only use Google Alerts and it’s absolute trash. You can set it to only give alerts for particular regions and it’s constantly giving me hits from India, USA, and Australia (I’m also in Europe!).

Omg this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I do a lot of media monitoring for work and have been using MBFC to try to measure how reliable my current Google Alerts are, because it throws up some weird and wild news sources.

Isn’t that essentially what Patreon is for though? How is it different (other than I assume no ‘bonus content’ for your sub)?

Okay, but we had that same issue in 2010 before Chrome started to become mainstream. And before that, IE had to compete with Netscape.

Wild they put you on ritalin first. I don’t know much about the chemistry but would trying a low dose of lisdexamphetamine maybe not be helpful, and less stressful on your heart?

Assuming you’re in England/Wales, can you contact ADHD UK for any help in advocating with your health board? Or any local networks?

Question: what stimulants have you tried? Is it possible to try something at a lower dosage, or an alternative stimulant? And what non-stimulants have you tried?

I’m a late diagnosis and have been titrating vyvanse for 3 months now (started at 20mg and moved up to 50mg). I’ve never taken Adderall but from my understanding, as it’s slow release, it should give a ‘smoother’ experience through the day. I ended up settling on 40mg as for me it’s the right balance of benefits vs. side effects. Possibly paradoxically, it’s lowered my resting heart rate - I assume this is as a result of not operating from a place of constant fear anymore.

Microdosing is something I’ve also had my eye on for a while, but until you can get medical grade, properly regulated tinctures, I wouldn’t risk touching it.

Do vegans generally accept that figs are okay to eat?

I grew up with a crazy vegan mother who dragged me to the outings of her crazy vegan club and they were all vehemently against eating figs. We don’t even live in a place where figs are common import, but they were so mad about it.

Your front pockets are actually pockets?! On most of my jeans/pants they’re just illusionary!

We don’t even have front pockets, just seams to give the illusion of a pocket!

Have you ever tried some sort of stimmy food like pepitas? They’re kinda a pain to eat if you’re not used to it. I can do one at a time and don’t have the best success rate of even getting the seed out 😂.

Simple for me too! I use Google Tasks (RIP Reminders but Tasks is already better) just out of ease. It’s right there on my phone and if something pops into my head, I can just call out to Google Assistant to add it to the list for x day/time.

I actually love OneNote - I use it predominantly at work to organise and info dump EVERYTHING. We have pretty strict IT policy though so it’s really my only option. I wish the phone app was easier to navigate, as I’ve not found a reliable notes app on Android (I have so much stuff split across multiple notes apps that I just kinda gave up).

2. Not just Jebora, it seems to happen on Wefwef and I think Connect too.
