you know, this meme is old as hell, but I still like it.

Setting aside the issue of whether this post is overstating the risk of MDM software on a personal phone, I had a tangentially related experience that might provide a tip for anyone who's in a similar situation.

I like to have the convenience of checking my work messages and chats on my personal phone, so I have Teams and Outlook installed and using my work account.

When I first went to sign in to my work account on Outlook, I got this message like "Outlook needs to run with administrator privileges in order to provide the necessary security for this account" and shunted me off to some system settings to approve the permissions. Big nope.

So I tried Outlook Lite, and it made no such demands and works perfectly. So for anyone else who's run into this, try Outlook Lite! I hope this helps somebody.

laughing a stupid little laugh after I'm done talking. probably comes off as nervous and awkward. I hate it.

there's a content creator in the board game scene (makes game review and how-to-play videos mostly) who goes by Bebo. that image does look kinda like her. her YouTube channel

oh that's interesting. I was under the impression that a GP wouldn't prescribe simulant meds without sending me to a psychiatrist first. I'll have to talk to my GP about it then. I haven't discussed it with her since I came off atomoxetine.

I'm a 45-year-old dude who's only now coming to grips with having probably lived my whole life with undiagnosed inattentive-type ADHD. My wife and online communities like this one (and formerly Reddit) have helped me see that I may have been playing life on hard mode by pretending I didn't have ADHD.

My doctor had me try Strattera (atomoxetine) about a year ago, but all it did was make me feel like I was nervous.

Have any of you inattentive-types had any success with simulant meds? I know it would be a lot of trouble to get officially diagnosed and even more trouble to fill the prescription, so I wonder if it's worth trying.

edit: Thank you everyone who shared their experience. It sounds like Adderall or Vyvanse are effective for focus and executive dysfunction. If anyone is still keeping tabs on this conversation, have you had any improvement in forgetfulness/distractedness with simulant meds?

I don't mean to be an aggressive anti-capitalist (but I'm gonna), but the suggestion that the solution to "dopamine addiction" is to "throw yourself into your work" makes me extremely suspicious.

there are some print-on-demand card and game manufacturers that might be less expensive than you think. I'm a hobbyist game designer and I've used thegamecrafter.comthegamecrafter.com as well as makeplayingcards.com to have custom cards printed, and it wasn't particularly costly.

but if those services do charge more than you want to spend, the thing I recommend most strongly is that whatever stock you decide to print on, cut them with one of those sliding-blade paper cutters. don't try to cut them with scissors. they'll come out a lot more even.
