  • This is what they do, throw multiple conflicting orders at you and when you don’t follow one of them you get shot in the face.

  • Current neuroscience does not support a simple “chemical imbalance” model with “normal” ranges the way blood labs work. Dopamine and norepinephrine signaling are involved, but ADHD is better understood as differences in how certain brain networks develop and regulate behavior, particularly fronto-striatal and limbic circuits. It’s about signal timing, regulation, and responsiveness- not just having too little or too much of a neurotransmitter.

    Likewise, your claims about a “smaller frontal lobe” are oversimplified. Imaging studies show average developmental and connectivity differences in regions like the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and limbic system, but these differences are subtle, highly variable, and strongly overlapping with neurotypical brains. They are not defects and not diagnostic on their own.

    Framing this as an adaptation rather than a defect is more than reasonable. Traits associated with ADHD, namely novelty seeking, rapid scanning of the environment, high energy, risk tolerance, and creative problem-solving offered advantages in ancestral high-stimulus environments. What you define as a disorder is a mismatch between these traits and modern expectations, not something inherently “broken” in the brain.

    No worries, since I’m sure we’ll all be back there soon enough and we’ll see how well the ADHDers fare.

  • Not an inability to focus. You conveniently left off the rest of the rest of the quote

  • No Facebook post, but thanks. ADHD is simply a heightened awareness and inability to focus on tedious tasks for a long time. So, not great for modern society but perfect for living off the land.

    You can call it an “imbalance” all you want, but who are you to decide what a “balance” looks like?

    This is what happens when people accept what they are told and cannot rationalize for themselves. Your “balance” is from someone who wants you to sit in a cubicle and type on a keyboard all day.

  • “Hey you!”

    Me?

    “Yeah you. Get over here and build this tunnel.”

  • I don’t really follow anarchy (this showed up on /all), but I really like this logo!

    Good work.

  • I don’t know why, but this reminds me of the monopoly game from McDonald’s.

    Just a few more value meals…

  • What are the 14 other indications on this visual?

  • Yes. In the Us.

  • Sigh.

    Where were newly recalled shrimp sold?

    Market 32-branded shrimp were sold at Price Chopper stores in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.

    Waterfront Bistro-branded shrimp were sold at Jewel-Osco, Albertsons, Safeway, Lucky and Supermarket stores in Colorado, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming.

  • That are about to continue on, regardless.

  • Doesn’t seem very useless if we can use it.

  • If anything it will create a market (and technologies) for co2 capture.

  • I wish they had waited to mention it until after all the docs have been released.

  • Maybe use protection, or you might get put on a no fly list or something.

  • When half our politicians are one party or the other, there is no room to distance themselves from scandal. This will keep happening until we fix our system.

    Lots of “surface” issues, never anything to fix the underlying framework.

  • I use voyager and it presents exactly the search you’re looking for, once you visit the community main page. I’m not sure about jerboa.
