The diagnosis did give me some vindication, but I wish so dearly that I was diagnosed and treated a long time ago.
It sounds so dumb and fake when I say it, but I now have the ability to actually do what I know I need to do.
It is not perfect, and there are some side effects, but if I had this ability 30 years ago, I would have avoided so many problems.
That being said, they don't let you take Adderall in the Navy and I loved so much about my time there.
But to give you context. I am 50 years old now. I am a pretty smart guy. It still took me 9 years to finish my EE degree. I landed a fantastic job at an engineering firm but was flailing, trying to make my deliverables. I was almost fired.
Then I was diagnosed, got meds, and suddenly I can actually work through the day without issues. I still struggle here and there, but it is nothing like it was before. I am doing well at my job now and don't have nearly as much negative stress in my life.
The main drawback I have is the increased heart rate and BP. Its not great at my age. Not dangerous, but not great. So I don't take it on the weekends and sometimes not during the week either.
You need to let it go, or get over whatever this weird outrage this is that you are having.
I can feel however I want, you don't get to gatekeep that.
I didn't tell George RR Martin to do anything. I said a line on a social media forum.
You are choosing to take my words in the way you are describing and not in the way I intended. That is a form of manipulation and gas lighting. Especially after I clarified.
Who called me entitled? I guess I missed that. That's a weird take, whoever said it.
I'm not disagreeing with him putting himself on that position. I am not defending this murderer at all, but I don't think it is helpful to claim there was no contact when there clearly was.
He was clearly starting to stall in his later books, taking so long to get them out, and instead of starting to wrap up the storyline, he started introducing new elements.
I understand why he hasn't moved forward, but I've lost all interest in ever picking up another book of his. The terrible writing by D&D certainly didn't help.
My feelings of frustration are valid and my criticism is not unfounded.
I do appreciate your thoughtful response, thank you
IIRC correctly, they were so checked out, working on potential future projects (that were also fucking terrible), that they had most of the work passed off to others?
Honestly though, I blame the author. GOT was great until they ran out of source material. Then you saw how terrible D&D really are at this. MF still hasn't finished the series. If you can't finish it, then don't fucking start it.
Maybe Sanderson can pick up the mantle for this one too.
It looks like the corner of the car is up against him, but he put himself there and she was clearly turning away from him. Then he just pushes himself off the car as she is turning and shoots her.
I was agreeing with the original criticism.
