Alright who here isn’t fucking crazy? Lets see hands. How many people have never been diagnosed by a doctor or themselves or their neighbors dog as being insane in the membrane?
I don’t think that’s what he’s saying. I think in the past it wasn’t an option to even take the time to worry about such things. Survival was such a major concern. And let’s face it, those that were wealthy enough self medicated with whatever was at hand and kept themselves surrounded with enough servants to make sure they didn’t get into trouble. Lucky bastards.
Well, there is this. From the abstract:
I should also point out that the APA disputes this conclusion, so it’s a matter of considerable controversy.
I say that it’s fine to call bullshit on their using it as an excuse. It’s not “okay” for people to lose things all the time because they have ADHD, they just are more prone to doing so because of certain difficulties they have with mental placeholders.
Adults with impairments due to a psychiatric disorder should want to stop the difficulties that they experience because of their disorder, not just excuse them. To the extent that they are working on it, both in terms of treatment and in terms of actually trying to implement strategies for change, they oughta get some props and perhaps a break, in my opinion. If they are a dick about it, are just looking for an out and aren’t trying to change, well, that’s a different story.

Somewhere in the distance there is the sound of many faps.
I think you’re funny. Don’t change a thing. And I’m not crazy.
Basically, blaming their ailments for fucking up, in other words?
(And before anyone tells me I diagnosed my epilepsy myself, nope. Had a full-blown, convulsions-bite-through-my-tongue-memory-loss black out on the bus on the way to work. Landed my ass in the hospital, had the EEGs (or whatever the fuck you call them), MRIs, etc. It sucks.)
I was going to raise my hand until you threw in the neighbor’s dog.

Exactly. Everybody’s fucked up somehow, and people always have been. Difference is, people used to be able to get on with their lives without whining about it 24/7 or using their ailments as an excuse not to do what needed to be done to function in society (and yes, I realize there are valid conditions that don’t allow one to function in society, but most problems aren’t that severe, except in the sufferer’s mind). We’re a whole society of overweight pussies.
That SOUNDS good, but are you sure it wasn’t a febrile seizure your self-diagnosis inflated into full-blown epilepsy? 
Okay I don’t really know where I was going with that.
My neighbor’s dog has informed me in no uncertain terms that I am of perfect mental health.
Does this mean no more pictures?
Yeah, whatever. You certainly didn’t do anything to dispel that image when you begged for Qadgop to come Pit her for you, and he shot you down.
Reminds me of how these gamers reacted to being harrassed on Ventrilo: “You tell him what you think of him!” “No, you!” “I’ll go get my boyfriend to do it for us!”
The last time I searched the snarkboards, I was disappointed to find that I wasn’t mentioned. Actually, if I have been, I’d love for someone to PM me with the link. I think I’d be rather entertained by whatever the snarkboards are undoubtedly saying about lobstermobster, as well.
Yeah, whatever. Is it that hard to acknowledge that you have a problem, and you need to cut these stupid Pittings out?
Good Og, does it never end?
FTR, DocCathode, it’s usually not difficult to find things like dishwashers for free on Craigslist or FreeMesa.
Trying really hard to be funny, perhaps?
Now that is scary. 
Does he talk about the male child of Sam?
I missed something, what pictures and red bow, keeps getting mentioned?
Jim
No, Quippy, not this time. I had a point and then I lost it.
Personally, I’d like to see the hands of people who know what the hell they’re talking about. Since your hands will be free, how 'bout counting.
Jim, you have posts in every thread on this board. How could you miss anything?
