I’m not understanding your comparison to the Troubles, because Paisley was the lead figure who fuelled the fires of religious hate through his influence, having founded a number of the groups involved in the incidents that kicked off the Troubles.
Maybe it wasn’t a single speech that caused it, but he was very much the face of the loyalist movement for most of his life.
Wild they put you on ritalin first. I don’t know much about the chemistry but would trying a low dose of lisdexamphetamine maybe not be helpful, and less stressful on your heart?
Assuming you’re in England/Wales, can you contact ADHD UK for any help in advocating with your health board? Or any local networks?
Question: what stimulants have you tried? Is it possible to try something at a lower dosage, or an alternative stimulant? And what non-stimulants have you tried?
I’m a late diagnosis and have been titrating vyvanse for 3 months now (started at 20mg and moved up to 50mg). I’ve never taken Adderall but from my understanding, as it’s slow release, it should give a ‘smoother’ experience through the day. I ended up settling on 40mg as for me it’s the right balance of benefits vs. side effects. Possibly paradoxically, it’s lowered my resting heart rate - I assume this is as a result of not operating from a place of constant fear anymore.
Microdosing is something I’ve also had my eye on for a while, but until you can get medical grade, properly regulated tinctures, I wouldn’t risk touching it.
Specifically it was Satoru Iwata (the then President & CEO) who halved his own salary (as ‘an apology’), to make sure all the current employees had job security, and refused to order layoffs.
He also cut the salary of other Execs by 20-30% (I can’t find any info on the reactions from the then board members I imagine a bunch were pissed).
While Ms Dorries remains a member of Parliament, she can turn up in the House of Commons chamber to make her views known.
She can, but even before her resignation she had only shown up a handful of times (about 6?) In the prior 12 months, and it’s been over a year since her last spoken contribution.
Why would they give her a peerage when she can’t even attend her actual job as MP?
Have you ever tried some sort of stimmy food like pepitas? They’re kinda a pain to eat if you’re not used to it. I can do one at a time and don’t have the best success rate of even getting the seed out 😂.
Simple for me too! I use Google Tasks (RIP Reminders but Tasks is already better) just out of ease. It’s right there on my phone and if something pops into my head, I can just call out to Google Assistant to add it to the list for x day/time.
I actually love OneNote - I use it predominantly at work to organise and info dump EVERYTHING. We have pretty strict IT policy though so it’s really my only option. I wish the phone app was easier to navigate, as I’ve not found a reliable notes app on Android (I have so much stuff split across multiple notes apps that I just kinda gave up).
Honestly I love this idea for Orkney. If they actually managed to get a mandate from some sort of island referendum then good for them.
Sunak already commented on it saying the usual Better Together lines. I’m waiting for a proper Scottish Government response, will be extremely interesting to see the SNP position on this…
Paisley of course being instrumental in those ‘plantations’ - i just thought it weird to suggest he didn’t start the Troubles, when he pretty much did.
Not to say Musk is comparable - he’s not even close to the main actor here. But he is a public figure who has been using the social media platform he owns to stir up hatred against particular groups of people in the UK. And not just on this occasion, he’s been chiming in for years.
