Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's a mental condition. It's been researched plenty. I didn't say much about deadlines. I said most people who might have a hard time focusing more than 3 or 4 hours of their 8 workhours a day otherwise, could probably focus 16 hours a day knowing they're saving millions of lives. Is it sustainable? Hell no, but it gets you rapid innovation.
At the same time what I'm gathering is that you personally would never be motivated to work harder just because other people's lives are at stake.
You completely missed my point.
Some people are not more efficient under pressure, they collapse or overheat. Putting pressure on people don't always work to extract more productivity. That's all there is.
And if you think it works for everyone, then the next step is for some asshole to weaponize the idea. Which is what they do in many companies : putting pressure on people to extract more productivity. And it does not work.
Some people work better under pressure. Some people work better when they have no pressure. Adhd is irrelevant to that.
I wasn't saying that adhd is not a real illness. I'm saying there aren't so many people with this actual illness. Like women didn't suffer from histeria in the past. Some certainly were crazy. Most weren't. A difference is not an illness is what I'm saying.
