Yeah I’m a donor. You’re not going to beat the death cult by joining the death cult

I don’t have the medical knowledge to comment on the blood pressure thing, but I do know that there are several non-stimulant ADHD medication options these days.

I think a lot of people’s fears come down to some combination of these silly reasons:

• Drugs bad
• Drug name is similar to methamphetamine and meth is bad
• I know someone who abused stimulants and it didn’t go well for them, so that’s what’s going to happen to you too, even if you just take them as prescribed
• ADHD is fake and you’re just taking drugs because you’re lazy
• ADHD is real, but if you can’t overcome it through sheer effort of will, you’re lazy. And a drug addict. And that’s bad
• ADHD is fake; it was invented by big pharma to peddle addictive drugs. So you’re being taken advantage of and you should stop taking your medication

Srsly, if you want people in your life to actually help Palestine, there are much better ways. Maybe encourage them to donate to gofundmes on gazafunds.com or something. Go to a protest together. Tell them about the BDS movement.

But on the other hand, why do any of that when you could instead take the option of antagonizing them about their electoral choices. Really piss them off, get them to stop taking you seriously. Burn bridges and shrink your sphere of influence within your community. That’s what will really be helpful to the people of Palestine.

I can’t fucking wait for election season to be over

I’d hit ‘em with one of these:

Linking to my megathread comment RE: terf sources in the baeddel post, for anyone reading this thread: https://hexbear.net/comment/5535857

TL;DR The version of the baeddel post that has the terf source is from two years ago. The version posted by comrade grym is an updated version from this year, which does not have the terf source (unless I missed it somewhere).

RE: transphobic sources in the comprehensive Baeddel post —

I did some digging, and the baeddel post that was posted in the other thread is an updated version that, as far as I can tell, doesn’t link to the transphobic source you mentioned. The version that has the transphobic source is from March 2022:

While the version posted by comrade grym in the other thread is from February of this year:
