i will flat out say that all the cheap internet glasses - the frames are garbage quality in terms of longevity compared to a decent name brand pair. they're just not that good.

I guess I don't treat my glasses well enough for the frame longevity to be an issue? usually the coatings get pretty scratched up after a year and I replace them

I could buy fancy glasses and then try to be extremely careful with them but why

I don't think I've ever had the frames fail on zenni frames unless I step on them or something

just poo poo that you can buy at the eye doctors ime. i bought some brand ive never heard of but they were expensive and despite being like ten years old they're still flawless. nothing i buy from the internet has come close, but i like switching things around anyway so it's not a big deal. but i do think it's an important aspect nobody talks about

hell why not



anyway i’ve had ritalin before but only recreationally so wasn’t paying attention really

I worked a late shift last night and took the doses a bit late and it kept me kinda awake and I could still feel it in the morning which I was surprised about coz I did not expect it to work so long anyway I noticed that I was thinning about what I could do on the weekend after I dropped off my kids mid arvo and not just what can I do for fun but what can I actually do productivity wise .. like wtf :grin:

i actually have a prescription for 30 mg ritalin and frankly i cannot tell if that’s just me or. the change in my material conditions that coincided with getting an ADHD diagnosis that makes me feel better.

but also i don’t know how i should feel??? i don’t feel like i’m „doing drugs” there’s no shifting into redline mode soon after taking them or anything. i just feel better thru the day, about the way i do things, and confront them instead of procrastinating

it’s hard to know exactly because idk are we just trying to be like normies? it’s tempting to want to make the most of the opportunity of being on performing enhancing drugs and run at 110% (or more) all day long but I don’t think that’s the goal. much like taking anti anxiety drugs - if the dose is correct you shouldn’t actually be able to tell (from
your direct experience) you’ve taken anything

I can feel when the ritalin wears off but it’s hard to know .. is this just how I felt two days ago ? or does my motivation dip lower after it’s worn off.. but it’s definitely a feeling of struggle after it’s worn off

ive nev er tried the drugs but what i would hypothetically want out of them is to get out of the executive dysfunction deadlocks, and maybe be able to remember things / not be so scatter brained all the time

no need for juicing it, just stop constantly sabotaging every opportunity :shrug:

my medicine makes me feel calmer and gives
me more patience. With it I can do things like stand in line at the store without stressing out or not get annoyed at one of my kids wanting to dress themselves in the morning.

it makes me feel more present and peaceful, it lowers the stakes

the specific verb "shot" implies that you are only disclaiming this specific route of administration. have you smoked heroin? maybe you were on a coke binge and got some of that pulp fiction action?

eeing someone shooting up, in a flat where the only furniture was mattresses, and then having to deal with another junkie begging to try to get some more dope out of the little cotton ball they used as a filter is some of the most depressing poo poo I ever seen.

Ask me about that time I told people mixing bleach and vinegar is okay
I've recently begun to suspect I'm neurodivergent after people telling me I'm weird my whole life.

I think I self medicate with caffeine and nicotine, both allow me to accomplish more and improve focus.

My wife gets wired off half an energy drink and would have trouble sleeping if she does it after 5pm but several times a year I take an energy drink before deciding to take a nap instead.

I do catch a small buzz off like a bang energy or pre workout, but other energy drinks or like 2 mason jars of coffee or 8 tea bags just kinda make me normal.

When I've done ADHD meds in the past I've felt good, but maybe the "energy" or buzz I get is just me firing on all cylinders for once.

That and me scoring the third highest of anyone I know on this autism test.

Heroin is extremely boring in my experience. "Ooh, I'm warm and fuzzy and my heart feels like it's going to stop", I do not understand it in the slightest. Now cocaine, that's more my speed.
