Rigged

So what is it called if someone is 35, lives with their parents, and has never had a job in their life? Not even a part time job or anything. Literally never worked for a single dollar. Not trying to start a fight, just genuinely curious and want to learn.

I had a friend like this and the only word I could find to describe him was lazy. Eventually I had to cut him out of my life for completely unrelated reasons, but this was where he was at the last time I talked to him maybe 4 years ago.

He would complain that he had no money to buy things and have fun with friends, and I would suggest something like a part time job at a fast food place, or a grocery store, or anything. And he would say no because those types of jobs are beneath him, and he wants a good job like being an artist for video games. But he wouldn't take the time to learn those things and develop those skills. He would just play video games for 16 hours a day, only taking breaks to eat and smoke weed, and then go to sleep, rinse and repeat.

Exactly, nice to see someone else has seen the truth. The Protestant Work Ethic is poison.

This is likely largely untrue, and many, if they are, are not getting what they think they are.

If you know someone who takes Adderall without a prescription, encourage them to stop. Leave it for people who need it.

How's life in south Korea? Is what people say true?

Too much makes my anxiety noticeably worse. But the right amount is like a miracle pill for my “laziness”.

Believe it or not, silly jokes like that contribute to a stigma that drives people away from the most effective known treatment for ADHD.

Edit: And despite what some might say, ADHD is actually vastly underdiagnosed and undertreated compared to its actual prevalence in the population.
