  • Denny it completely and tell them that he’s been threatening her and that this behavior is further harassment. There’s a decent chance that a piece of shit like this has other incidents in his record and if you haven’t made a habit of threatening old men then they’re not going to do shit.

    My concern is escalating it directly with him like that is tempting him to escalate directly with her. He knows that you’re not the kind of person who regularly threatens people because you didn’t do it the first time it happened.






  • I would not equate constructiveness and kindness.

    I wouldn’t either, which is why I don’t think a Marx quote moves the ball down the field in a discussion about kindness. I could be wrong, but the first line in the meme is “Not everything needs a response” and I get the impression that Marx was absolutely not that guy.

    I do recognize that it’s more that you’ve got an idea brewing and had an opportunity to feel it out rather than it being a response specifically tailored to the topic at hand. I don’t think anything you said is wrong, just not super applicable.









  • Concerta isn’t the same medicine (amphetamine), it’s the other one (methylphenidate). Adderall is actually a non-racemic mixture of amphetamine enantiomers (25% levoamphetamine/75% dexamphetamine), whereas the drug that is the “same” drug is Vyvanse and that’s actually a pure prodrug of dexamphetamine (they call it lisdexamfetamine [with a fucking f!]). Your body turns that into dexamphetamine over time.

    My recommendation with Adderall is basically not to get used to taking extended release. The active ingredient is identical between different manufacturers but the time release component can be different. That means that the release profile that you’ve gotten used to over the last six months can dramatically change if you get a different source one month. IR can be a little annoying to remember but I prefer the control it gives you.

    If you’re feeling like 20 xr is too much you can switch to 15 xr, but you’re still getting the same delivery profile and also giving up 25% of those sweet sweet drugs. If you get two IR 10s a day, you can take a 10 in the morning and then cut the other in half and titer down your second dose. That way you get the same morning hit as before while reducing the amount you get later in the day. Or you can cut them all in half and do 5/5/5 in closer succession if you feel too amped up off a full 10 in the morning. You also get spare 5mg tablets to stockpile for when there’s a two week delay in getting a refill for no good God damned reason. You can’t do any of that with xr.

    Or maybe try a different medication, idk.
