This was uncalled for, and a quick look through your comment history indicates that you're either a person who thrives on taking an opposing viewpoint for the sake of being an oppositional pain, or a troll. I'm going to go with the latter.
Dissonant discourse has value but you're intentionally inflammatory so from me, to you, kindly fuck right off. Try and learn something from this. I will engage you no further.
I know. But I literally take care of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As in, cerebral palsy. As in, if we quit, these people will have no care.
This is me!
The 3 on, 4 days off, 4 days on, 3 days off cycle of 12 hour shifts is what I do as in-home health care for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities!
And as a manager, I absolutely do get stuffed into covering 5 or more days. During the pandemic I was doing front half days (Sunday Monday Tuesday) back half nights (Wednesday Thursday Friday). And it's hell!
They increased our pay to $15 an hour in my state as an emergency order so we could finally get some staff, but it's impossible to get enough people and don't even talk to me about quality...
That's a hell of an epthitet. Well said. Damn.
I'm upvoting you and I'm going to share your story with others but unfortunately I know this isn't the case with me, as I was adult diagnosis ADHD and dealt with the hypoglycemia since elementary school. I only tried stimulant medication for the first time two years ago.
But I wonder if any studies have been done about frequency of ADHD and hypoglycemia comorbidities! Seems promising!
I know that it's a lifelong drug. I don't care. I'll take it. Especially because of the evened out crashes! Not having a sugar high or a sugar low is so wonderful for someone who has spent 37 years enslaved to snacks.
I've been assured by several friends that they will happily eat my portion, as long as I participate in the hunt.
Which is the sort of community-based, inclusive solution I like best.
I've been singing this a lot lately.
I'm on Wegovy and it's a miracle, frankly.
Between the ADHD medication wreaking havoc with my hunger signals and the non-diabetic hypoglycemia causing me to go from "not hungry" to "dying of a sugar crash," the Wegovy gave me actual satiety for the first time in my life, and evened out the crashes.
I'm a big fan of more options along these lines, for whoever they might save.
All power to the engines.
There's a lot to be said about it but anyone with a brain will agree to this, and simply this;
Good.
Don't qualify it. Don't turn it into yet another stale argument that will invariably link some grifter's asinine manifesto. Everyone from every side can agree that this is a good thing. Let it be enough.
Stamets, it's not like you to let the trolls get to you. I noticed yesterday but didn't feel like you'd appreciate that from a near stranger but it's even worse today.
You good, friend?
(Addendum for any reader; I know that culturally, pet names are seen as insulting in other parts of the world, but in my line of work and my part of the country, I had to delete like 10 "sugar," "honey," "darlin" and "love"s. Please keep in mind that it's meant well if you see someone like me slip up in the future.)
