Gibt auch Leute die brauchen Koffein und trinken kein Kaffee.

Ich brauche Koffein (oder andere Stimulantien) um mich zu konzentrieren und um einzuschlafen.

Entsprechend trinke ich pro Tag 1L+ Cola und 0.5L+ Energy.

Inzwischen wenigstens Zuckerfrei; aber ich weiß dass es das nicht viel besser macht xD

Ich würde behaupten dass nicht medikamentös eingestellte Personen die eigentlich Stimulatien benötigen und sich so zumindest am Laufen halten einen nicht zu verachtenden Teil des Konsums ausmachen.

Makes sense, thanks for the (late) explanation xD

which is easy to disable (unless changed since I played the last time) if you’re fine with playing offline

Zudem:

Bekiffte sind sich ihrer Defizite oft bewusst und fahren vorsichtiger. Das hebt die Defizite natürlich nicht auf und ist immernoch gefährlicher; aber alle bekifften Fahrer die ich in meiner Jugend begleitet habe warteten auf Grün, fuhren maximal die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung und achtetrn auch an Kreuzungen sehr genau auf Seitenverkehr und Fußgänger. (Jedoch nur sehr selten auf Rückspiegel oder Jaywalker; übersehen manchmal Schilder und haben im Allgemeinen einen Tunnelblick nach vorne. Und die beeinträchtigte Reaktionszeit ist vorallem unvorbereitet echt nicht zu unterschätzen!)

Viele betrunkene hingegen warn meist “I kan noh farn”, brettern über Rot und geben nen Fick auf viele Regeln bzw. denken garnicht dran.

Im allgemeinen habe ich mich bei Bekifften deutlich weniger unsicher gefühlt als bei Betrunkenen.

Am Ende bleibt jedoch: Fahrt nüchtern! Die Regeln sind meiner Meinung nach nicht “Ich darf soviel konsumieren und dann noch ins Auto steigen” sondern “Ich hab noch Reste im Blut vom Vorabend” bzw. "Ich saß halt mit meinen Kifferhomies im Raum und hab passiv bissl was abbekommen:

Well, my brain seems to be affected by it according to that test (difference score of 11) if I interpret the scale correctly

But well, I also got autism and quite a few other mental conditions and learned all my life to cope quite well with all my disabilities; that’s why I specifically outsource direction question to a visualization that make the answer more tangible for me than listening to my intuition.

But well, what works for some doesn’t necessarily work for all. And probably my other conditions have some influence on it as well. We’re all different, after all; even if sharing a few traits.

That’s why I explicitly stated local.*

I don’t care which country I’m in and how they are driving there. I obviously visualize cars I grew up with.

E: well, I see how local can be interpreted as exactly the opposite of what I mean… oops

I get that. My intuition often mixes both up, too.

That’s why I trained myself to say “driver-side” and “passenger-side” in my head when left or right come up. To a point where I don’t even have to think about thinking about it. I just visualize which side of car is meant instead of the rather abstract concept of left and right

Might not help you; but it helps me

To prove your point, please dox yourself.

I’d be interested in your full name, address, your phone numbers, your email adresses, birth date and credit information (which is probably in the order details)

I always imagine a (local) car, and remember which side the driver sits on

Surprise second round; hope you listened in the first one

Not OP, but yeah…

There are a few mental/neurological conditions that lead to a big adversion against ordinary recurring tasks.

(In my case it’s PDA; but it’s something that I see across multiple neurodivergent spectrums, as well as in people with depression)

Thanks for the extensive response :)

Thanks for the fast response :)

What difference makes a year or two

Can I get a (few) title(s), please?

I’ve read (only) half of the disc-world books, but I don’t know what you’re referencing.

I don’t disagree with the point that it shouldn’t need to be this way.

But it is what it is; and it’s live saving medication that has to come from somewhere.

People are fighting to tackle the problem officially; but they also have to somehow live in the meantime.

Almost all trans people would prefer a prescription and medical supervision above having to pay themself and guesstimate the doses without proper bloodwork. But some just don’t have any alternatives.

And to be clear: I will always recommend people to try the official way first. local transpersons that asked me for advice all got a “I can help you get therapy; I can help you to skip therapy and go the indication route; I can reluctantly help you skip indication and go the informed-consent-route without psychotherapists but still medical supervision, even tho I really discourage that unless your transidentity is obvious since many years; but I will not help you to get DIY (without medical supervision) unless you tried the official approaches, sorry”.

But for some people, there is no other option than DIY. Getting a place for therapy can be really hard, and some countries have no alternative routes to get a prescription with medical supervision without going through years of therapy first.

(Btw, I don’t know how the laws are in the UK. I’m from germany. But the problem is the same everywhere. I got lucky to be able to get a prescription, tho; but I know a few people that weren’t)

And check if the lockpickinglawyer already tested said trigger lock.

It’s not my area of expertise; but the ones he tested were far from safe.

Yes, but it’s a bit hard to get; even in countries that try to improve trans-care rather than reduce it.

There are just so many therapists; the waiting lists are sometimes simply closed because they stretch years.

For many people, these hormones mean the difference between a livable life and extreme dysphoria, depression and suicidality.

If they could get them on the regular way, they would. But the regular way is often full of problems. So some people have to fall back to just do it themself.

I even heard of doctors who do some medical checks under the counter to ensure everything is done as safe as possible (but aren’t able to prescribe hormones themself without prior psychotherapeutical indication)

So; your point would be valid in theory, but unfortunately for many trans-people, it’s the only way to get their possibly life-saving medication.

Not necessarily

You could twist the rules.

Instead of hearing “hit” you get handed the shot you just hit
