@newstart_2024 The “zoning out” habit in my home came from high achieving children who were sent to school during the “No Child Left Behind “ era. Bored kids get into trouble for talking and acting out. Eventually get “diagnosed” with a disorder by unqualified educators.

Gabor Maté flipped the entire ADHD conversation on Joe Rogan: He says ADHD is real, but it’s not a genetic disease like we’ve been told. It’s a coping mechanism. When a young child experiences stress (especially from parents) and can’t fight or escape, their developing brain learns to tune out. That pattern gets wired in. Years later we call it a “disorder” and reach for pills. Maté’s take: The brain develops in relationship. Stressed, unavailable parents → stressed, distracted kids. Fix the environment and family dynamics, and the symptoms often improve dramatically. We’ve spent decades treating ADHD as purely biological when the environment and early relationships might be playing a much bigger role than most doctors admit. This one really made me think. I’ve seen kids (and adults) labeled with ADHD whose home life was chaotic. The idea that it could be a survival adaptation rather than just “broken wiring” feels like it explains a lot. Do you see ADHD more as a genetic brain disease, a coping mechanism from early stress, or somewhere in between?

@cameronokon1 @mrrasmulan Agree. Maybe oil spatters at the stove as well?🤷‍♀️

@mrrasmulan I'm a girl and every time shirt I own is like this. I thought it was from standing at the sink

Do all of my friend's shirts have these holes on the front? Does anyone know why? What's the reason?

@mattvanswol 1

On a scale of 1-10… How would you rate the current performance of the GOP in Congress?

@loonlake55 Changed out own oil Washed our own car Mowed the lawn ourselves Mended things that broke

Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer. 1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings. 2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches. 3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds. 4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls. 5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else. 6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel. 7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood. 8. You packed your own lunch for decades. 9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building. 10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job. Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems. My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!

@RightPulseNewss “Aisle”

BREAKING 🅱️ Vice President JD Vance: When I took my Kids to Disneyworld, individuals were shouting Horrible things at my small Children “You should disown your dad you little shit”, one middle aged woman yelled at my 5 year old. “Tell the secret service to protect the constitution, not your father.” Screamed another… “While our side of the isle certainly has its crazies, It is a statistical FACT that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left.” Do you firmly stand with Vance? A. Huge Yes B. No IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!! MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏

@WomanDefiner “affects”

In the clip below Miley Cyrus describes how her selling being a "Boss bitch" and being a modern woman effected all the people in her life from her family to romantic partners. The sexual revolution is selfish and whether you know it or not it effects people you care about. There is a cost to all of this and its greater than anything you will ever gain from it.

@Mr_Husky1 Instead of “Where are you?” , we all say “Are you are?” , abbreviated in text messages to RUR.

Admit it: Your kid mispronounced a word three years ago and now the whole family says it that way. What's the word in your house? (We still say 'pasketti' and I’m not stopping anytime soon.)

@HenpeckedHal Aw I love Uncle Jerry

My wife and I eloped, but a month later we had a small party to celebrate with family and friends. Somewhere on the invitation we wrote, “bring an appetite,” which my wife’s Uncle Jerry misread as “bring an appetizer.” He showed up at the venue with a crockpot of enchiladas.

@Svengoolie @fintechbrian My husband wears his Svengoolie Tshirt most Saturdays in St Charles MO. He always gets compliments from fellow fans. METV for the win!

@fintechbrian Because we have been on nationally on the MeTV network for over ten years now.

How do non-Chicagoans know who @Svengoolie is???

@FerreWeb3 1990s Went on float trips for vacation Washed your car and changed oil in driveway, Owned a 1500 sq ft house with one bathroom for 5 people Applebees was fine dining

Look at the generational difference… 1990s: • Get a university degree • Get a 9–5 job • Suit and tie • Get promoted • Get married at 21 • Buy a house at 25 • 4 kids, 1 dog • Retire at 60 2026: • Survive… Show more

@Real_RobN When do the arrests begin?

And here it is, The Arizona Senate Audit of the 2020 Election CONFIRMS beyond the shadow of a doubt Trump is the legitimate President of the 2020 Presidential election, Katie Hobbs inserted 74, 243 MAIL IN BALLOTS in the Nov 3, 2020 election that are TIED to individuals returned and cast with NO RECORD of ever being SENT OUT. 📝U.S. Congress certified a crime scene on Jan 6. And they all know it,

@Moonlight_myths Silicone earplugs and white noise machine.

If your neighbour has a baby, and it cries ALL NIGHT, and it's room-is directly next to yours divided by a wall, is it okay to ask them to move the baby to another room? My alarm goes off at 5am. This baby cries until 2, 3am most nights. I am exhausted. I am ill. I am childless by choice and I DO NOT need this. I understand the mother is tired. But you know what? This was not my choice. I'm experiencing the consequences of her choice and I am no longer understanding of it.

@Milajoy No. Remove Thune.

INTERESTING: There's a chance that a deal has been struck. If Trump endorses John Cornyn then Thune will use the talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act. Would this be an acceptable trade for you?

@0708America “led” not “lead”

@BillboardChris @UCSF Yikes!

.@UCSF, have you fired Madeline Mann yet?

@ksorbs led

Alright everybody. As the dust settles, I want your honest thoughts: What do you think about President Trump and Israel’s attack on Iran that lead to the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei?

@libsoftiktok “FORTY”

BREAKING: Over FOURTY senior Iranian leader were kiIIed “This is one of the largest regime decapitation operations conducted in modern warfare history.”

@SGTWipper1Each No screens after dinner

I'm officially off all medication. I finally kicked Trazadone as of 5 days ago. (Yes, I weaned off very slowly) I don't sleep well again, though. So, I need some ideas how to help my nighttime healing. No alcohol. What helps you sleep?

@simonateba 9 - Speaker Johnson should have thrown Omar and Talib out.

BREAKING - Be brutally honest: On a scale of 0 to 10, how would you rate President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight?

@Milajoy Mark Ruffalo

What actor makes you immediately not want to see a movie? I'll go first: Robert De Niro
