      People drink caffeine out of habit and staving off the bad effects rather than any perceived increase in productivity.

      i can definitely focus more on my writing when i'm caffeinated as not. including when i don't have any for a while and my body adjusts to an unstimulated normal.

          and consider that you're denying the existence of executive function disorders, which stimulants absolutely help people with.

              Why would this contradict anything I’ve said. Of course caffeine makes you feel alert if you haven’t taken it recently.

              no, i meant that regular caffeine use beats no caffeine at all even provided enough time to be used to no caffeine

              as capitalists would never provide an accommodation like coffee for people with executive function disorders unless they were forced to.

              yeah it's called self-medicating, asshole.

                  This is what you wrote and quoted to me in response. Literally stating an unstimulated normal caused by not having any caffeine for a while. Don’t get upset if people misunderstand you if you write the exact opposite of what you mean.

                  i didn't write the opposite of what i meant, although i apparently could have been more clear.

                  Does everyone who drinks coffee have executive function disorder?

                  no but you cant say "caffeine just does x" because that's normative ableism that you're now doubling down on. fuck you, disengage.

              That makes sense, I haven't quit caffeine in years but I like the taste and the ritual every morning. I also have diagnosed ADHD since forever so idk if that changes anything but I feel that it helps me. That being said I have no proof
