Again, that sounds good on paper. In reality, I turn into an on-ramp and I’m approaching a line of cars going 75 mph. There happens to be a sign that says they should be limiting themselves to 55 mph.
If I merge at 75mph, the state of the roadway is essentially unchanged. If I merge at 55mph, I am introducing a new risk that was not there previously.
That's easy to agree with in isolation, but many times on the main roads near me the normal flow of traffic in the slow lane can be 20 over. Driving at or below the speed limit would create a significantly more dangerous situation than cruising along at the same speed as the nearest several cars.
Yeah, you'd be operating in a more legal way, and the faster drivers around you should be able to safely deal with it, but that doesn't mean the risk isn't there.
This one made me bust out laughing. Such a perfect combination.
The previous one is great too. Both new to me, at least.
I have some great news for you. Look at what took effect yesterday in my state! Using a mobile device, including at a red light, is now a primary offense (you'll get pulled over for just that).
This just applies to PA, but it's a pretty big state with a population between Sweden and the Netherlands, so it's not nothing!
Oh I absolutely do, neurospicy stranger! I have the kind that comes with crushing Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria too.
I've tried some non-Ritalin brands of slow release methylphenidate, plus tried some slow release adderall, but right now just taking two immediate-release adderall is doing the trick.
You should SEE the amount of shit I've built this summer. I even contribute at work sometimes, lol.
Ah ok, thanks! A while back I tried Jornay, which is also time release methylphenidate. Now I am just on instant release adderall. Slow release didn't work for that either. It's like it takes too long in my system.
It's good so far!
I'm in the US with the typical high deductible health insurance you get from an employer in a professional office job. But I'm also in a unique situation where the treatment for a different condition of mine is so expensive that the drug company pays your deductible. So it's almost like I have really good insurance that covers everything.
I think it's more that we are way into blissful ignorance in this country.
If you polled the citizens to ask whether America was founded/discovered by European explorers, the vast majority would agree. But of course, even if 80% or 90% get it right that still means tens of millions got it wrong.
But if you polled the citizens to ask whether US territory was simply discovered or stolen from existing inhabitants by murdering/genociding them, I bet you would flip the numbers.
Wow, that matches my experience exactly.
I’m curious if you’re willing to share what the medication is in your case.
🤜🤛
I'll add that I have a kid too, and that is the kind of relationship in your life that can really teach you how stupid you are to worry about "wasting" time with them you could do something productive or work extra.
The relationship CAN do that. Potentially. God damn are a lot of people horrible to their own children.
Very true. It's like an order of magnitude difference, where 1% income is in the "approaching a million" ballpark, but 1%er net worth is above 10 million.
But relative to the billionaires like I was talking about, they are at about the same tier of "poor person but with class," lol.
The timing of this almost feels like the CIA threatening Trump. He can cause a ruckus and ruin ordinary people's lives, but if he starts to threaten the global economy and/or civilization that happens to supply the billionaires with things like drugs and yachts and ~~sex slaves~~ employees to run them, history might just have to repeat itself.
The article makes it sound like this was scheduled though.
I can’t get enough of these familiar spacefaring faces!
Making my first Lemmy post because this moment in my DS9 rewatch made me think of you all.
I think I’ll call her Captain Gilora Lochley.
Also, DS9 is even better than I remember. It’s been a while!
Damn it, now I am going to put on a Bernie voice and shout “you must make the macaroni!” next time I’m making some mac and cheese.
