“You are laying on a (recently cleaned) floor. Your owner is outside, enjoying a nice, casual jogging. But for some reason none of those matters because HIS WALLET IS ON THE TABLE!”
“What are you going to do?”
“1) Munch wallet 2) Bite the wallet once, on its right side 3) Piss on the wallet 4) Bark”
"You’ve chosen – “Bark.”
“You let a wild bark come out of your mouth. Congratulations, it provoked your primal instincts to EAT THE WALLET WHOLE!”
Believe it or not, I have ADHD and am aware of stigmatization of stimulant medications. I don’t need to be coached on how to make light hearted jokes about amphetamines on the Internet
I went into that joke without ADHD or it’s related stigmatization in mind. I viewed “Adderall?” as more in the context of recreational use be it partying or something like cramming for a test. There wasn’t a previous dialogue about ADHD established so it never entered my mind that that’s how people would view it. I wouldn’t make that joke in that context as it is insensitive. However, that wasn’t the situation and I still don’t really see my comment as insensitive or reinforcing stereotypes/stigmatization of ADHD. It’s not that I don’t care, I just disagree with the interpretation of my comment in that way
I’m not lazy, it’s society that’s manically hyperactive.
You know… I meant that as a sort of joke, but it actually isn’t too far from the truth. Some manic-obsessive individuals set the tone, and some places are worse than others, South Korea being most famous for it.
A number of clinical trials have shown improved academic and occupational cognitive performance using psychostimulants in therapeutic doses. This includes improved inhibitory control, memory recall, and awakefulness. Some studies have even shown a measurable (4-5 points) increase in performance when taking an IQ test.
