I did not argue against taking meds, I argue that there might be other treatment options available. I know a lot of other adhd people from self help groups, some clearly need meds and that is of course fine and good that they found something that works, but a significant portion don't and live a good life after therapy. It's like saying people need Mounjaro to lose weight. Some do (like me), and others don't. But I hope everyone agrees that exercise and dieting (with outside help e.g. nutritionist) should be tried first.

I have the inattentive version but it's simply not bad enough to take meds.

What I don't like about this study is that they only take meds into consideration, but there are other treatment options. For example cognitive behaviour therapy. Also, they included studies that included self-diagnosed ADHD. Self diagnoses are on the rise and very often wrong (I.e. trauma response might present with adhd like symptoms). Aside from some other flaws I think the significance of this study is limited...

There is a video where it is flying over some other Teslas. Actually taking off, barrel roll and landing

Probably general insurance that pays for a lawyer. Is that not a thing where you live? The insurer in small cases sometimes does "claim settlement via buyout of the matter in controversy", or nuisance value settlement. Cheaper than paying for a lawyer...

I guess it's hard to understand what women want...

CEO could mean no free time to spend with her. Muscular for what? Are you climbing or doing some other interesting sport or just spend time at the gym?

A lot of money, but are you doing something good with it? Helping people? At least some women think that's admirable.

I don't know you personally, so it's just some general vibe I've gotten from your post. No offense, maybe none of this is you but if it is it might be worth thinking about.

That's no habit, that's psychological maladaptation. I recommend reading "To Have or To Be?" from Erich Fromm.

I think 40 Swiss Francs per year is a really fair price, if you live there and use the Autobahn regularly it's very cheap per km and if you happen to drive through you also have to pay, which is only fair to residents. but 40 francs flatrate even if you only pass through is still better than whatever is going on in france!

Maybe the newer ones? Mine is pretty old as I've said. It's very visible when pure red is displayed. Other colors are fine.

I have an iirc 8 year old oled tv from LG. It has terrible burn in, especially red was hit hard. I wonder how true rgb might compare. The picture quality is probably worse, but if it holds up longer than oled it might be worth the trade off.

They haven't brought up any argument at all, they simply said that "millions imported into the system do not contribute", which is not an argument or a fact. Just a statement. What is there to discuss? Why are you holding my comment to a different standard, because you don't agree or what?

But just for you I have looked up the facts: 1.1 million Ukrainian refugees, and half of them are employed by now. 1.1 million including children, elderly, and so on, people who aren't able to work. A) its not "millions" B) german overall employment rate is about 45.5 million employed people out of 83.5 million residents. So they are totally in line with the average population.

That is not anti solidarity, I know Afternative für Deutschland voters like to frame it this way but it's not.

That is not "fucked up" it is called the solidarity principle. You contribute when you have the capacity to contribute, and society protects you when you happen to need more than you can afford. Netflix is a consumer product, and health insurance is risk pooling. You're treating health insurance as if you're buying healthcare services. You're not. You're buying protection against an uncertain financial risk.

Also you forgot the contribution assessment ceiling at €69,750/year.

However, Germany has a legitimate problem when contribution levels, service quality, and access aren't aligned with what people feel they're paying. That is a different discussion which needs much more nuance and intimate knowledge of the German healthcare system.
