Looked at holistically access to ADHD meds can reduce Bad Numbers across the board - road accidents, inappropriate prescriptions for other meds, drugs, unemployment, smoking, obesity, self harm, suicidality - even prison/probation. Access to meds is good! And cheap at twice the price!
Child1's GP said there's a perfect correlation between the decline in smoking and the rise in ADHD meds - many people were unknowingly self-medicating with nicotine.
I don't think he was suggesting child1 start smoking, at least I hope not.

Pingu is clearly seen interacting with a polar bear. Pingu therefore can only be a northern hemisphere penguin - aka the great auk, aka the OG penguin.
Pingu is amongst the last survivors of a species thought to be extinct.

Esther Ghey wrote to Starmer on Monday explaining in detail how she felt her daughter’s eating disorder and self-harm had been exacerbated by TikTok influencers with whom she had become obsessed. Continue reading...

that's the deal - but it doesn't feel like a deal really.
it's more just it is who i am - not trying or anything. which probably makes me a lazy Christian - but it's the deal.
if it scares you - that's normal! but it doesn't stop you; Christ was probably scared, and had doubts - didn't stop tho

Listen I’m not a Christian but I know a bit about it and it seems to me like, whether or not you ever expect to actually be in the situation, committing yourself to following Jesus of Nazareth does in fact mean committing yourself to being willing to die to save other people
can u imagine being not only a baptized christian but an ordained priest and then, when NPR asks you about the Bishop of New Hampshire's comments last week, what you find to say is "I didn't sign up to be a martyr"??

The people who advocate for armed and violent resistance are also the people too scared to put themselves on the front line. they want the glory they imagine comes from other people dying
Bluesky posters will be like you “you think massive universal legal resistance with total support from the population works? that pales in comparison to my strategy, winning a shootout with an ICE army” and then not win a shootout with an ICE army
