Speaking as someone with ADHD: This would have been the most darkly humorous time to use the phrase "Concentration Camp"

Yeah, the fucking heavens had to align to create the single greatest opportunity for this pun. The news editor looked up at the choir of singing angels and quietly whispered “no” as they used the word “labor” instead.

I shared this with my wife, who takes Adderall, and your comment is going to finally pull her away from Reddit to Lemmy. Thank you for your service.

Why do the good kennedy's die, and the bad ones live for fucking ever.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Brain worm tried to get this one, but died of starvation before it could finish the job.

republicans are silent on this. groceries cheaper yet?

defunding huge amount of government agencies. where is that money going? into the economy? or musk and trumps pockets?

why do republicans support giving even more money to the wealthy at the detriment of the rest of the country?

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 47 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Most Republicans think ADHD is caused by liberal parents who don't beat their kids enough, they're silent because they approve.

Not as big a deal, but he also wants to get rid of your WiFi and your cell phone:

Departing momentarily from fake vaccine claims, the gang also had a long discussion about the purported dangers of wifi. Children’s Health Defense, the anti-vaccine organization that Kennedy founded and is the chairman of, has long made a number of false claims about electromagnetic, wireless, and 5G technologies. Kennedy suggested that “wifi radiation” could be causing autism, food allergies, asthma, eczema, or other chronic illnesses, which Rogan, in a rare show of basic critical thinking, suggested was “unlikely.”

“I think it degrades your mitochondria and it opens your blood-brain barrier,” Kennedy said, confidently.

Rogan paused and then turned to his producer, Jamie, who often acts as the show’s researcher by Googling things. “Do you see anything online about that?” he asked. After a moment in Google, Rogan paused again.

“Oh my God,” he said, finally, “we gotta get rid of wifi.”

Too bad Joe Rogan is such an idiot. I would have asked RFK Jr. to define mitochondria. It would have made for amusing listening.

Rogan is such a brainless ape, he is the prime example of an idiot who will believe everything he reads on FB. I lose hope in humanity every time I see his podcast at the top of the charts.

I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need — three or four years if they need it — to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities

Yes I too read A Scanner Darkly dipshit. I'm absolutely sure you can't wait to send people to the New-Path farming commune so that you can profit off of their altered state in hopes that "one day" they'll be able to rejoin society.

What a fucking dipshit. They just all honest to god want modern slaves. Like good god, there's no veil to it any longer, they just want free fucking labor.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 30 points 6 days ago

What do you mean? It's free health care! Isn't that what y'all asked for? /s

US Government official wants to put people in concentration camps (no pun intended). Time to get the pitchforks.

You take away my adderall, I’m not going to be working - I will be asleep (I have narcolepsy).

[–] pappabosley@lemm.ee 19 points 5 days ago

Good idea, they should keep feeding you adderall at the labour camp, much more effective 😋

Still relevant since he just got confirmed as the head of the health department.

He'd sooner eat a bag of McDonalds than do a single crazy thing he promised. What's that? He already did the McD thing? As a show of fealty to our new king? Oh, my.

How about including Ketamine and starting with that one unelected illegal immigrant who abuses both? No? Figures.

If the Trusk-era US economy is to run on prison labour, they will need technically skilled inmates. Between people with ADHD and people with depression and anxiety disorders, this should provide plenty.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Not only that, but "wellnes farms to grow organic food?" Gotta replace all those fieldhands we're about to deport somehow.

That worm should have finished the job.

Incidentally, if anyone is a screenwriter, I'd love to see a film where an alien parasite takes over the brain of a prominent politician and forces the population of a country to stop taking prescription meds so it can reproduce. I just don't want to be in that movie.

Why is this so highly upvoted? This is old (pre election) and the title is literally a lie invalidated by the article itself.

It's okay. When they take away your SSRIs and force you to farm organic food, they'll keep telling you to smile more.

So, is going to send ALL those use Adderall? Really? What about Adderall abusers? Oh right, they have complete SCOTUS immunity.

If they take away my medication and put me on a farm, I will beat someone to death with a hoe.

Wow a health nut AND a fascist!!! Who could have seen THESE two things fitting together so nicely.... is it everyone?

I'm not going to a labor camp. They'll never take me alive.
