        As someone with ADHD, I will say that adderall helps me stop playing Factorio.

        You know that hyperfocus thing we do?

        factorio turned that up to 11 if I didn’t take my morning dose before I started to play it. I say before, because if I didn’t take it, it would be 5pm by the time I realize I needed to take it

        Is there any evidence that it’s being overprescribed? I only ask because I know prescriptions have jumped but I also know that women over 30 are seen as an epidemic of those never diagnosed, and now that they are finally being diagnosed (and some choose to start medication) I wonder if it’s that it’s overprescribed or if we’re just catching up?

        I wish someone would prescribe me Adderall.

      A mobile computer heavily optimized to exploit the mental weaknesses of most users to distract and advertize to them as often as possible, while extracting and selling their information.

      But it’s also device occassionally reworked by some users to not be so obnoxious, and just a very useful and variable tool with access to an unprecedented library of knowledge. But that really is pretty rare.

    I mean, if antidepresives & social media count, then this indeed happened. But it doesn’t count and instead we pursued the goal of achieving climate change asap & rigging the economy for stagnation of human development.

    I love stuff like this. Source?

    Edit: Thanks! I also find the psychology disturbing: “Yay! We get to have slaves again! Except, you know, animals this time because that’s okay…”
