It'll probably end like you expect it to. It's not like you're a teen anymore with unlimited free time.

btw since when do you have a blog and how are your studies progressing?

The only thing I can think of Ritalin helping with for non adhd people is learning languages and memorizing words.

sad tl didn't win but looks like that inspired draft of picking ta three games in a row didn't work that well for em

also re: adderall & other amphetamines
shit's amazing but makes it fairly difficult to multitask once you're settled on a given activity

Lewl, Yesterday reddit blew up because ArsArt (TI2 finalist on NaVi) started spreading the drug rumors as well. But in a really spiteful way going on a tirade calling OG players pieces of shit on his stream.
Then he swiftly backpedaled on twitter, deleting every evidence. It's clear to me he didn't change his mind on the topic but was told to shut up by someone, I assume his employer or v1lat. This drama is juicy and I can't wait for Valve to do nothing, stay silent, let it spread, and drive a wedge in the Dota2 community.

I mean, of course nobody is going to do anything about it (well, to be fair, i do believe that we probably won't see Smile at next TI), because no matter what you do short of actual doping tests ala CS:GO, that wedge won't disappear.

That said, even though Smile is obviously butthurt as hell about having to paint his hair pink, the point about people using everything not prohibited to win in a tournament with such prize pool will always stand.

Reading up on ESIC (the org that administers csgo drug testing). They apparently allow therapeutic use exemptions for ADHD medication. Meaning as long as a doctor approves the use and an exemption application form is filed with ESIC, a competitor can use Adderall, Ritalin etc.

(Source)

Also the ESIC list of banned substances is pretty weird. They ban the most common prescription amphatemines but don't test for a any of the less common amphetamines/stimulants. They don't even test for Cocaine according to their own banned substances list.

Anyone who actually uses any of the substances on the banned list can apply for an exemption anyway so this whole thing kinda looks like a pointless exercise to me.

That itch is pretty intense, not gonna lie. Apparently they'll do some reveals soon™. I'm looking forward to new civs in AOE2:DE though. Might even pre-order it even though that feels dirty to me.

Its been a rough one.

I've been dating someone the last few months, and I really like her but unfortunately its a very complicated situation (shes married / seeking divorce[honestly this part matters less than you think it would], and theres another guy she has some amount of feelings for and isnt cutting it off[this part matters more]) and I started a break with her today. So i'm pretty fuckin bummed about that. Turns out I date non-stable people. -____-

But uh, school is going okay and im no longer working a job I hate, so like, objectively a lot of good things in my life. Just, you know, emotions.
