Welp this man started with "only 2% of people are diagnosed with ADHD" and then when he heard I have been successful at school & work he basically tuned out and said I dont have ADHD

@crmsnbleyd Apparently I should have consequences like being jailed, or fired from my job or failed a class to be truly ADHD

the man: "Emotional deregulation looks like what happened to Tupac Shakur. I don't know if he had ADHD or not but he got so excited after the Mike Tyson match that he went and punched a rival gang member and hence he got shot"

the man <paraphrasing>: "ADHD is like Diabetes you have to take a shot to have a normal life. There is no escaping an insulin shot and the consequences will always be drastic without it"

the man: "Do you have any experience gambling or impulse purchases?"

me: "Well I lost a lot of money betting on stocks during the pandemic"

the man: "buying stocks is not gambling"

SF democrats in a nutshell

"Why would Democrat Willie Brown hire a “right wing social media influencer” who had just attended the insurrection? Who had/has he been advising with Ed Rollins, Eric Beach, Brent Lowder at Unifier Advisors?"
