Ultimately, yes, I feel bad for the owner. It's not fair to her. But initially I want to cheer good intentions and public statements of "Fuck the patriarchy"

Full disclosure, I'm a part-time student with two part-time jobs, and I use adderall a few times a semester, around finals (so, like, 2-3 times in the past two weeks). My questions are genuine. Why do you assume I'm putting less effort into my work if I've consumed a stimulant, than when I'm writing a paper

So I wouldn't have been able to go to med school without Adderall. Did I cheat? What if my doctor's diagnosis of me is wrong?

No , its not steroids. Sorry, I know you don't want us ADHD peeps to think it pertains to us, but when I hear this, it feels like that's EXACTLY what you're saying. I'm a relatively successful individual (MD, and whatnot) - so I guess I'm the mental version of a pro-athlete, right? And you're saying I got there

I still don't see them as equivalent, because whether you get good grades or not, you both have a degree that doesn't seem to matter at all. No employer gives a single fuck about your college transcript. But the person with less (or even equivalent) experience can still get the job because of connections. I have an

See, in an insanely competitive job market, I'm far less concerned about the guy who aced his college exams while on "pharmacological turbo mode" than I am about the guy who got the job I applied for with years less experience than me because he knows a guy who went to uni with another guy who works in the HR

Yes! I posted about the fact that generic Adderall is pretty affordable, but I am a gray. Generic Ritalin is $4 a month at Wal-Mart and generic Adderall can be had for under a dollar a dose for many people, without insurance. The real expense is the psychiatrist, and that gets cheaper over time.

I have never known a regular Adderall user who was anywhere near as productive as they believe that they are. Making long lists of things to do? Talking rapidly about doing stuff? Filling out a calendar full of things to do? Yes. Actually getting stuff done? Not really, and rarely competently.

No joke, my friend's mom did the same thing in the '90s. Bought a whole fuckin' roomful (literally, a room) of the things. Now they just sit there and collect dust and bitterness

ESPECIALLY if you go with your daughter.

"A little thing that can turn into anything at anytime."

The only thing worse than managing your kid's expectations vs reality, is being divorced and trying to coordinate your kid's insane Xmas list with your ex. (Not to mention basically 4 sets of grandparents now that we're both in other long-term relationships).

Every year my daughter writes extensive Christmas lists and demands a tree, two requests I never grant. She is always confused as to why. I just don't have the heart to tell her we're Jewish.

truth. I've dated most of them.

I love that she never shames her daughter and completely just stands up for her. She is a great mom.

Anon has had a major turnaround. They were pretty terrible at first, except for the commonality of their hatred of Scientology. But eventually human rights activists have been taking over and we get the glory we see here.

On the bright side: this a movie waiting to happen. It's so rare in real life to have such a well defined villain and a hero. It's like a high tech version of the Jennifer Lopez movie, Enough. I hope the author sells the film rights, makes millions and uses it to ruin Moore's life forever.

I keep hearing how Anonymous is such a bad group, but judging just by the kinds of folks they destroy: this guy, WBC, etc, I have to say I don't see what is the problem. This guy (a loser who lives in his parents' home) is the very definition of what Anonymous is out there to protect the rest of us from.

I can't decide what's more frustrating - that people like Hunter Moore exist or that people are so up tight over nudity that a woman can lose her job over private photos leaked for all the world to see.

Sometimes Anonymous just gets it SO right.
