  • To be fair, ADHD is a developmental disorder that sometimes can present as delayed development rather than halted development. I.e being behind in executive functioning development but eventually “catching up” to peers.

    That said, the severity of cases is still often determined through the lens of “how well do they fit in/mask it” and not “how is their emotional/mental wellbeing”, which definitely gives the impression of kids “growing out of it”.



  • It’s a bit of both with a healthy dose of “we’re not sure”. We know that ADHD brains don’t regulate neurotransmitters properly and that the theta vs beta waves are different, but there are a lot of other mechanisms we don’t understand.

    Another great example is guanfacine. It’s primarily a blood pressure medication, but it also improves emotional regulation for ADHD patients. We think it improves connections in the prefrontal cortex, but we ultimately don’t have a solid understanding of why it actually helps.







  • There was definitely some fuckery going on, since he did a three hour interview with Trump the day he claimed as a “personal day” right in the middle of her visit. They didn’t outright reject her, just made the terms too difficult to meet. Though I will say that this:

    “The vice president of the United States is offering to come to your f—ing show, and you keep putting up more hoops,” the book quoted Flaherty’s thinking at the time as being.

    This type of thinking is a big part of what ruined her campaign. They treated an interview like a favor to Rogan, not as a two way deal. Expecting the media (especially a notably right-leaning podcaster) to bend over backwards to accommodate them was absolutely absurd.

    The way I understand it is that your colon will work harder to reclaim water if you’re dehydrated, so staying hydrated will help keep stool softer overall. That said, rehydrating while constipated (or immediately before a bowel movement) won’t make a real difference since the water has already been absorbed from the stool and it can’t add it back.

    I would imagine your drinking lots of water before, if you do it consistently, is probably just contributing to your overall hydration which makes it easier next time.


  • I think it’s usually done to let them pretend their being impartial and “equal opportunity” despite never really intending to be. I personally think it’s bullshit, internal promotions are totally valid and shouldn’t be seen as favoritism (unless the candidate is wildly unqualified).
