I love fuuturama, and might even agree with op's point. But this is very far from a meme.

As far as I understand it, most anarchists are opposed to unjust / unjustified / unnecessary hierarchies. There's many advantages to having managers, team leaders, captains, etc. because it can be helpful to have someone coordinated actions between a larger group.
What anarchists would seek to avoid would be structures where power starts to consolidate around people beyond what's needed. It's good to have a leader for quick decisions in the heat of battle, or other emergency, but that person doesn't need to decide everything outside of battle, because there's time to have a more democratic or consensual decision making process. They also don't need to be given more money, or not be accountable and replaceable by their squad.
Yeah, I think the mean prank vibe sucks (obvs, ymmv) but the 'fake news' aspect was a positive. Like the original and sadly long lost art of og trolling, the purpose was to remind everyone that you cannot believe everything you read, and you should not suddly react to something just because you read it in a newspaper. If it sounds wild or incendiary, maybe check a couple of other sources before passing it on to friends and looking like a 'fool'.
Unfortunately, we've past the stage where gentle friendly reminders of media literacy are likely to help. Most of us are all too aware we live in an age of misinformation (but don't agree on what is 'fake') so it's no longer funny.
Yup, and this is the third dumb ass post from this user I've seen. Blocked.
Femboys are you going to tell me about Michael and the others?
I don't understand what I just read, but I get the feeling that's a good thing.
I'm not in the US and not on adderall (I'm on ritalin LA), but friends in multiple European countries also have issues with supply of adhd meds. I've been mostly managing okay in France, but for a few months there I was getting Swedish bottles of ritalin, and the pharmacists gave me a little print out of the medication leaflet translated from Swedish into French.
I think that campaigning and investigating the shortages and what is being done is a pretty good cause. Is your issue that by focussing on name brand adderall they're making generics look bad? (I hadn't heard of the reddit community before)
My personal experience is that the quality of generics can be pretty problematic. Lots of the big generic companies are based in India, and are not subject to the same checks and monitoring that the FDA would do for a US based manufacturer. This means that there's the chance that your generic drugs won't actually be as effective, not because the namebrand molocule is somehow better, but just that the quality control is more reliable. On the other hand, I've found Xaggitin (a generic copy of Concerta produced in the UK) to be much more effective for me that namebrand Concerta.
There was a book out recently that was a whistleblower's account of the issue. "Bottle Of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom" By Katherine Eban, if your interested (you can find some reviews of the book that cover the important parts).
I think it's just exhaustion, but I laughed so hard at this that my partner had to come through from the other room to see what was wrong.
Personally, as someone with adhd I find "planned every detail" a bit of a stretch."
"focused on random specific details but not really worked it into a coherent, useful plan" is more accurate for me.
Yeah, I don't. Even in holiday I want to be able to go look at stuff and read books, not just lie in bed scrolling my phone and feeling mad at myself. But what has been helpful is getting different dosages (a benefit of the terrible ritalin supply is I sometimes got my 40mg as 4x10mg). That way I can take less on days when I've not got a lot on, and just want to relax. But taking nothing is not a good day.
As others have said, i don't think there's a single 'real' you behind some mask. But I do think that that being around some people or in some situations requires a lot of conscious effort to make things work. And on the other side, there are people who make us feel safe, or bring the best out of us, or just inspire us to have fun.
When I'm around good friends and loved ones, i experience being free, liberated and my best and happiest self. But with everyone I'm still filtering, adapting and finding common ground with them. There's stuff I'll talk about with one friend that I wouldn't mention to another. There's jokes I might make in one place but not in another. But I don't feel I'm masking, it just isn't possible to be everything all the time.

Has anyone ever heard of the "classic prophet-squeeze-monster trope"? What could it possibly describe?
(lemmy.world)
I came across this cryptic phrase in a description of an old D&D adventure Tale of the Comet . In context, it seems to describe the designer solving a problem of game balance by having the powerful technology items have limited charges / uses before expiring. But I cannot parse prophet-squeeze-monster and I certianly don't recognise it as a classic trope. Any ideas?
Mix of squash / zucchini flowers. Somehow, despite the fact it'll mostly be oil, batter and salt, the fact that there's a freshly plucked flower at the centre makes me feel like I'm a healthy elf.
