I really hate humanity sometimes.

Assholeness? Pussy grabbing? Insurrection?
Oh he’s taking adderall for sure!! My guess is before Biden gets dragged out they fill his belly with it too. Ever tried it? It’s amazing. You get so much done. Wired. Focused. Can drink like a 21 year old at burning man.

But these kids all have anxiety. It’s a crutch. Just more of the drain circling of society. Everyone is anxious. Fragile. Toxic. In the 40s men lied about their age to fight in the war. Now they change sex to play women in sports.

Anyway. USA vs Mexico on paramount from cowboys stadium. Should be good. Can you imagine how many of Biden’s illegals are trying to sneak in for that one
 
Withdrawals. Depression. Zero energy. Brain is mush. Zombies. I witmesssed it when my ex got pregnant. Both exes actually
So you have a fetish for chicks on adderal? Is that even a category on Pornhub???

Reminds me of a guy in law school who had a thing for injured chicks. He told me one night "I don't know what it is; I see a girl with a cast on and I can't help myself."

Hilarious! I have a psycho friend who only likes chicks who look emaciated.

Spartans will tell you. Every girl in my Gen is on adderall.

Give me a percentage
What’s your percentage? You’re the one who said those with actual “issues” are really low. And the proceeded to illustrate that you don’t understand what depression and ADHD or ADD is.

I love the notion of a guy having a thing for a category not found on the Hub. I mean, German piss porn is a thing for ****s sake.

"So where are you from? Cool. Cool. Uh, so do you take adderal? Yeah? How many milligrams? Oh baby, let's get out of here!"

In Nashville right now, and holy hell is it a scene. Sunday afternoon and early evening and women walking around in some pretty revealing stuff. I've seen more women without bras than with.

It's like a cougar wildlife preserve down here.

For the record! Jim Irsay and the Colts have been doing a great job on messaging about de stigmatizing getting help for mental illness. Jim has obviously had his issues, so really deserves credit for this campaign.

I’ve been around that shit so much I can give you the mgs it comes in. No bullshit tho. You have a trial or something that requires extended focus. It’s unreal. Remember white crosses when we were kids? It’s like scientists never stopped focusing on making them perfect for the last 30 years. Perfect extended focus and no collywobbles

Damn, I need that. Spartans, can you hook a brother up? Better give me some downers, too, so I don't get addicted to the upper part.

Or doesn't it work that way?

She makes nothing. Pennies. He works at a rent a car company. Runs a bunch of locations. They pay a lot if you get a good area. Grad school etc. unnecessary. Long hours tho. But straight from college has ten years in. By 40 will make a boatload.
I'm surprised a rent a car company would pay that kind of money.

Still tough to do on virtually one income, I would think.
 
Why? Beyond the “everybody’s a pedo” thing. I figure now is the SAFEST time in history to let your kid roam free. They’ve got GPS in their pocket.

We let the daughter ride her bike as far as she could. She’d ride 5 miles to get to a friends house. Where they’d hang out on their phones.

Yeah, a lot of weirdos out there these days. I admire you for the trust you put in her and other people, but I had a hard time letting my daughter go off on her own until she was in college. Even then, I didn't like it.

I wouldn't call myself a helicopter parent, but I was probably right there. Not proud of it, but I'd never forgive myself if anything would have happened.

as you climb the ladder you get more locations under your belt and you get a piece of the sales/profit of the locations under you. some of those guys make heavy bucks and they are not the brightest bulbs out there. my buddy was way up in corporate (marketing) making less than the guys who had good (profitable) areas overseeing retail locations

It seems like every time I go into these rental agencies the guys behind the desk are right out of college. And, like you said, not the brightest bulbs.

I figured they were just desperate for a job - I had no idea there is big bucks in it if you stay in it.

Private co doing 40+ billion a year. If it weren’t it would probably be close to a fortune 100 -150 company

Lots of companies pay big bucks if you stay and get a piece of the action.

By 40 almost 20 years in. No lost income from grad school and all the bullshit that goes with it. Get a Bach in finance/biz from wherever and just go to work

This story has ruined my day. Don’t scroll down if you don’t want yours ruined.



















Mother sentenced to life in prison after leaving baby alone for 10 days in a pack and play while she went on vacation with a guy friend.


This story literally brought tears to my eyes. To imagine what that child went through.
i have seen things that make me pray that someday I will be able to forget them. I also realize that although humanity includes virtuous and loving people, there are some who suffer from mental illness, addictions and other demons.

I taught criminology at the college level and know many of the old and modern theories of the causes of criminology. And, these theories can probably account for most criminology

However, IMVHO, some people are just evil.

We are never going to agree on this. I laid out the treatment algorithm. I see it every day. I’ve been involved for over 25 years and have seen the changes.

Very few are experiencing true psychotic symptoms. I’m talking the ones needing Clozaril, invega, lithium, seroquel….on and on. A great number of these would have been institutionalized for at least a part of their lives….in a previous point in our history.

The vast majority of people experience some form of “depression” in their lives. Why? Life is tough. We tend to think everyone else doesn’t have problems and their lives are great.

Put SSRI’s in the water….doesn’t bother me.

Milton’s wife and I have been involved for about the same time…based on his previous post. If we sat down and talked in person…I almost guarantee we would have a positive discussion.

Once again….when I started I had 1 bottle of Ritalin and 1 bottle of Dexedrine Spansules now I have a whole safe devoted to Schedule II drugs for ADHD. What has changed in the last 25 years? Has the percentage of broken families increased? Has the way parents view and allow teachers to discipline their kids in school changed? Has kids time in front of electronics increased?

We aren’t going to agree. There is a big difference between clinical depression and situational depression. There are types of mental illness that cannot be resolved without medication. Same with ADD and ADHD. It’s a chemical imbalance that will not improve without medication, no matter how many behavior mod plans they are put on. I do agree that pharmaceuticals are overly prescribed . Decades ago, not enough study had been done to understand that kids weren’t just being bad, that they had a chemical imbalance.
 
My mom would throw us out of the house, tell us to not come back until suppertime, and to stay in "the yard". Since we lived smack dab in the middle of a 1200 acre property, that gave us plenty of room to roam.

I was fortunate to live around a neighborhood full of kids... when the clock hit 9 am we were out the door and stayed out until the street lights came on.

The only time I was seen is if I ate lunch at home or we went swimming in the backyard or to ask if (which was really a tell because I was rarely told no) to go somewhere on my bike.

I'm still friends with a lot of those guys 35 + years later.
 
Not to speak for Spartans but he’s a pharmacist. The amount of people on adderall and the ease of prescriptions for same is astonishing. Hell it was out for a while. Now there’s another variety of it that too can be hard to get. Check out the side effects of adderall.

I do think much (some) of what we see is self induced, generational, cultural (social media) etc.

My daughter bitched all week bc we didn’t go to the beach for spring break. Texting with her friends on vaca. That’s a 7th grader

Look at opioid use and the correlation to depressive disorder

My daughter went to Florida with her best friend and her family for spring break.

I got a text yesterday that they scored Drake/Lil Wayne tickets.

I was the sad one yesterday.
 
They age out of Hooters and somehow find their way to me.
This is hilarious, reminds me of a time about 15 years ago on a bachelor party we had pre-party at Hooters and the groom ask this young lady what she wanted to be and she said a "doctor". He said I'll bet you a $1,000.00 right now I'll come back in 10 years and you will still be here, the best man said no way she will be too old to work here by then.

Looking back that had to be a tough conversation to hear from her side, but 6-7 beers into the night it was funny as hell to the group.

Point of clarification: I'm not sure the use of pharmaceuticals "resolve" mental illness as much as it might mitigate or alleviate some of the symptoms/unhealthy behaviors.

It's the difference between taking Nyquil vs. an antibiotic (or some such med that might eradicate the underlying illness).

I think it's important to remember there is no "cure" for many mental illnesses that I know of. If you're bipolar, you're bipolar. For some forms of depression, the same holds true. But for many, they will resolve on their own. I think it is these latter types--situational depression--that Spartans might be focusing on. I have no idea is ADHD, etc. resolves on its own or not. Some posters here might be proof that it does not. :)

We are talking past each other….easy to do on a message board.

For the record, I agree with several of your statements here.

Enjoy your day

Did you watch the game last night? I thought we played well. Much more of attacking threat than we have been IMO. A lot of balance. I confess, I do boo loudly whenever I see Reyna's parents on tv.....
