Look, you haven’t sold me on the idea, but I’m going to upvote you because, if nothing else, this is an original take.

The typo will stay.

As far as I know, Adderall for people without ADHD induces the self-perception of higher performance, yet increase in performance isn’t actually statistically noticeable, so it might be useful for someone who feels emotionally stuck (afraid of failing, tired), but not for someone who does not have the capacity to do well, much like caffeine only gives you the self-perception that you’re less tired than you actually are.

Both of these guys are ancient. I wouldn’t care if any of them used drugs (as long as they don’t pose long-term risks for their health) because they might as well be medication. Or are we going to be so dense that the idea that two 80 years olds are likely taking some medication is going to fly over our heads? Furthermore, where do we draw the line of what a “drug-enhancing drug” is? Coffee? Most adults take it to function under inhuman schedules. Adderall? If you do have ADHD, you do also need it to function; if you don’t have it, it’s going be even less useful than coffee. Anything else that they bought at a pharmacy? I don’t care.

All in all, this looks like a talking point made up by people who want to treat politics like a sport, where we’re supposed to watch “athletes” compete with equal opportunity for performance, which is definitely not what a presidential debate should be about.

A lobby heavily aligned with the interests of a foreign power being capable of dropping by and dumping tons of money in order to place politicians loyal to their agenda in positions of power is not a sign of a healthy democracy.

This feels like the meme equivalent to a dad joke.

Hey! I will not tolerate this kind of racism against influencers! /s

Canary Islands. Great place, but the mass tourism is actually killing them, provoking skyrocketing rent and shortages of power and water.

Is this bill going to be voted by the previous representatives or by the ones we just voted? Because that page shows the ones who are leaving.

I would have agreed some time ago, but they’ve shot the prices through the roof lately.

Thích Quảng Đức was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who died by self-immolation (…) protesting against the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government of Ngô Đình Diệm, a staunch Roman Catholic. Photographs of his self-immolation circulated around the world, drawing attention to the policies of the Diệm government. John F. Kennedy said of one photograph, "No news picture in history has generated so much emotion around the world as that one.

Calling them brainwashed is disrespectul and ignorant of similar acts that, while they haven’t been enough to change policy, have invigorated social movements that sometimes resulted in the goals they were aiming for. The fact that you use “brainwashed” specifically almost makes me think that you can’t even understand how people could see the murders of tens of thousands of children as something worth taking radical action for.

Ironically, claiming that the people who call you out for committing war crimes are antisemites is EXTREMELY antisemitic.

Wholesome news.

I’ve seen the money management in US NGOs earn. If they want to claim they have tight budgets, they have to tighten their belts first.

Why is a non-profit trying to make profit out of this operation, rather than freely distributing the knowledge they’ve collected? The US are so permissive with their NGOs that it’s far easier to find a nest of grifters than a legitimate one.

Adderall is a drug that:

• If your brain typically produces very reduced amounts of dopamine (as it’s usually the case with people with ADHD), it helps your brain achieve more standard levels of dopamine. This usually means that you go from a need for constantly get new, interesting stimuli (so that your brain generates dopamine until it reaches standard levels), to actually become capable of focusing on what you want to do, which usually means in not getting fired and being capable of putting your life in order.

• If your brain typically produces standard amounts of dopamine (as it’s usually the case for neurotypical people), it acts as an stimulant, gets you high and is potentially addictive.

There are countries that have extremely tight regulations on Adderall, to the point of enforcing how much it should be produced based on old data from doctors’ prescriptions who may or may not be predisposed against believing their patients, for the sake of protecting morons who want to irresponsibly get high, even if it provokes shortages that may potentially destroy the lives of people who do need the drug in order to function without issues.

Do you see the problem with priorities here? If you have to choose between protecting people consistently choosing to behave irresponsible until they need treatment, and people who, beyond their own capacity to choose one way or the other, do need treatment now in order to have a good life, choosing to restrict its production and distribution provokes widespread healthcare issues (with ramifications at the economical, social, and most importantly, human level) in order to prevent another that may or may not actually take place. It’s completely moronic.

That also serves as a response to his blabbering.

“Aren’t you ashamed that you should have worse intentions for yourself than nature had?”

“My dude, you literally live in a barrel. And cover yourself already.”

On the other hand, he has to live for the rest of his life with sustained brain damage.
