So, which planet, or the Star itself?

For whatever it's worth, you don't necessarily need to take the medication, at least not necessarily for your whole life.

It's possible I got slapped with the ADHD label at one point, I generally stopped paying attention after a while.
I WAS prescribed Ritalin in my childhood. I stopped taking it regularly in college, then stopped taking it at all. Never went back to it.
And I now have an office job that required focus, concentration, and working with large amounts of boring paperwork.
So it is possible to "grow out of it". Don't give up your critical thinking to Big PharmaAlthough that is probably a much bigger problem in the States

College is a typical time when some people do in fact start taking Ritalin and/or Adderal, due to it requiring more concentration and focus, plus the competitive environmentAgain, this is more a reflection of College in the States when I was younger

Dude, you cited the Financial Times. I think that is basically China's Japan's newspaper.

... actually a good bit of reporting on your part, Strongpoint.

As it turns out, Japan can still import Russian oil.

The Japanese do not believe in losing money, unfortunately.

And now I would like to interrupt this debate with some actual news!

US calls for vote Friday on UN resolution declaring that immediate Gaza cease-fire is `imperative’

Now to see if the Americans stick to their guns, or reverse position again.

Almost three decades on this Earth, and I'm only just realising I might have ADHD.
Eh, I'm almost four decades on this Earth, and only just realizing that I have migraines sever enough to require medical treatment. Life is about self-discovery!  :P

Real life example: I was recently in the ER for what turned out was a migraine. I described the pain in my head as "Sometimes an 8, but it comes and goes".
When it hurt less than the pressure cuff, I described it as a "4" and mentioned it hurt less than the pressure cuff.

...it is NEVER a 10, or they will completely ignore you.

Well, a lot of folks in my area love Trump, so I sympathize.

It's actually quite hard to fight propaganda and value signaling.  Most of the folks aren't too bad, they just want to believe in something that gives them comfort and does not question their previous 60+ years of life experience.

It's also scary how popular Vivek Ramaswamy is with the younger republicans. But he's a rich shitbagger*, so you can't really trust any statistics regarding his popularity, since he's perfectly capable of skewing them in his favor.

*I just added "shitbagger" to my dictionary. I use this word enough, and plan to use it more in the future.

Private Medicare Plans have been caught outright lying to senior citizens to choose their plans, so the elderly that pick those plans won't even get the food.

@pisskop: Heh, that ain't dying, that is just CKII.

You could join the Holy Roman Empire and eat them from within while they defend you from most things outside.

Also, with that many kids, you should be able to ally up.

Sandblaster Inc. is currently in talks to merge with Korsgaard Armoury. More as this develops.

Congratulations, I was not sure you would be successful in expanding from The United States to the Rest of North America!

Are we really debating whether or not people are starving and/or dying in the Gaza strip?

Not commenting on this. For my own mental health's sake.

Just glad to see you're safe.

It's perhaps more important that Western Media views it positively more than anything else.
