@BenjaminPutano Almost any drug used for mental health is a tool, not a perfectly wrapped solution. You still need other tools in the toolbox. That said, a tool that helps you remember where you left all of your other tools and helps fix/replace old ones when they break really comes in handy.

I had a very small but life-changing conversation with an older colleague of mine at my first job. Me: "Do you think I have ADHD?" Him: "Yes" Me: "Do you think I need meds?" Him: "No" After that, every time I considered getting a script, I tried non-medication techniques first. Slowly but surely, I've built my focus. Meds are the right path for some, for me it wasn't

@socialclubulti @dcc4nn I ended up liking S3, but I had the same issues about S2. Dug up this rant I sent to a friend a year ago when I finally gave the third season a chance:

@anmack84 @HarambesApostle @foxyjewishmama To be clear, I’m not trying to convince you, individually, to wear a helmet. As long as we agree on the importance of helmets as a public safety standard, feel free to carry on venting about them. Your perspective is still valid as an exception to a rule that applies to so many.

@anmack84 @HarambesApostle @foxyjewishmama Downhill skiing is actually a much better analogy for the risks that cyclists experience in city traffic settings. You wear a helmet because you don’t trust some combo of weather conditions, terrain, and fellow skiers and their fallibility as well as your own.

@HarambesApostle @anmack84 @foxyjewishmama Feel free to draw your own conclusions from this study and accept whatever risks you feel are convenient, but the researchers’ conclusion is that helmet use is associated with a significant reduction in injuries to the head and face as well as mortality: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27747748/

@anmack84 @foxyjewishmama Agree. Helmets make biking not cool and also inconvenient. As a commuter it just pains me. I’m not seeking high risk situations, it seems different. Maybe this is just cope though. Anyways I think I would bike way less if I had to wear a helmet. It’s bad UX

I am watching this right and Refaat says the following: "Of course we always fall into this trap of saying, 'she [Fadwa Tuqan] was arrested for just writing poetry!' We do this a lot, even us believers in literature...

@WalkableOakland @foxyjewishmama Possibly meant to discourage unsafe speeds given the proximity to pedways in what appears to be a commercial/business district that likely sees heavy foot traffic during the day.

@foxyjewishmama Why so narrow?!

@azzps @foxyjewishmama I see your point, but wonder if @SNGreenways can chime in with more context. The lane width/markings and landscaping suggest to me that this stretch of bike lane is not intended for high-traffic or speed. Under that assumption, visibility for peds seems fairly reasonable.

@NoCoUltimate That throw was more romantic than any kiss

11-8 Claire to Fran with bookends off a run through D then a holstered kiss to the great disappointment of all their beloved followers. We want to see some action. We want more dogs. We demand more dogs.

What she said. Day 2, game 2 vs Pushovers

@NHwang D. All of the above ✅ 💎🐶😈

Grammarly thinks my team should be playing either more "brutal" or "formidable" or "uncompromising" person defense, where I was just asking for "tougher". Which one should it be?

Messed around and notched my first sectional tourney win after 15 years of college/club. Couldn’t be happier to have done it with such an amazing group of humans. #orcas #diamonddawgs #intersubsectionalchamps

Accidentally perfect advertisement for trains

@being_ulti @TheOnlyFrankO have you convinced Joel to come to Forest yet?

one of my favorite Tiny Desk moments - Fred again... performing Roze. youtu.be/4iQmPv_dTI0?t=…

@being_ulti People tend to give @hiveult’s hex concepts a hard time, but IMO “inward pivoting” consistently allows for better field vision for continuation looks on under cuts by allowing you to see give-go options from handlers first, then break side *then* deep: youtu.be/CU8_MYMAT0Q

I think the reason I huck it a lot is because as soon as I catch the disc I read the field: Deep -> Under. I want to start changing where I look first so I can see the continuation throw.

@being_ulti @RAMP_ultimate Rankings Are More Important (than playing Cooler)

what does RAMP stand for, wrong answers only. @RAMP_ultimate

@frankjrojas1 @Andrefor40th Any job that pays you *just enough* to survive is not a career. Nor should it be.

@Andrefor40th Flipping burgers is not a career. Nor should it be.

@LegsFeedTheW0lf For the record, I only cut deep when it was at least our second possession of the point, so you always had a chance to avoid being skied by not turning the disc over...😈

League week 2 canceled by climate change. League week 3 highlights: -got skied by Fish about 4 times -Mila won the kid race after the game (10 participants) -Spencer who had been acting as DJ all night, hit me so hard in the face with my phone that it drew blood

League starts tonight. Parent team that will have 10+ children on the sideline. I was told by the league coordinator that we’d only have fun against 1 team since we’re so stacked with talent which I think is a complete underestimation of my ability to have fun schelacking teams.

Frisbee Twitter might not always pass the vibe check… But game threads completely taking over my feed on tourney weekends >>>

@LegsFeedTheW0lf Oh great, now I feel even worse about that throw. Did the gauze rip twice as much skin off? I could’ve sworn it was only half that size the other night.

I think one of my strengths as an ultimate player is that even at this late stage in my career, I’m still learning new things. For example, I just learned that you probably want ‘Non-Stick’ gauze.
