Adderall is a drug used for ADHD but it's famously "abused" by students to "do better on tests"

It is a stimulant.

The new batch of Epstein files suggests that he was trying to blackmail Bill Gates about this, among other things that are ... not as amusing to talk about.

Anyways.

@futurebird As I read this post, my eldest offspring is lol'ling while discovering that the genre of Bridge Writing is an actual thing - not just instructional books, but also "bridge fiction".

Synchronicity!

@futurebird when I was a student yerba mate worked as a charm to boost my concentration levels. And it doesn't even require a prescription 🧉!

Apart from the scandals, these emails really bring home how unremarkable and pathetic billionaires are. They clearly owe most of their immense wealth to luck and/or nepotism and/or corruption.

@FediThing

"Please don't tell everyone i took Adderall for the bridge tournament people will think I'm a cheater!"

I can't with these guys. They live like this.

@FediThing

Kind of glad I'm not super wealthy since it attracts some of the strangest parasites ...

I am poor enough that I know all of the people hanging around me really must like me for some reason.

@FediThing

They are so banal and pathetic especially in the things that they think of as secrets anyone would care about.

And even more in the abuse and crimes they commit but can't even recognize as crimes.

And the way they use email, the lack of OPSEC is disgusting.

@futurebird

Choosing to hoard so much money that one cannot possibly spend it does seem like something has gone badly wrong in their minds.

They could buy the very best stuff for themselves, their family and all their friends and they'd still have most of their money left over. Why would anyone want that much?

@futurebird @FediThing the coolest thing about being super wealthy would be giving it ALL away.
