What’s your point in bringing bud light up? I’m not trying to start shit, genuinely curious. What is it that we need to know? What does “never trust” mean in this context? I can’t make heads or tails of anything you wrote

I legitimately do not get pocket. It’s just rebranded bookmarks

Have you ever been poor? Yes, sometimes you need credit to live. I’m still paying off debt from 2020 that I only acquired due to desperation and the threat of homelessness

Psilocybin degrades in the presence of water and heat. It’s a pretty delicate compound. Pasteurization would destroy it from the outset and even if methods were developed to preserve its potency, it wouldn’t be psychoactive within a few days. People do make alcohol extracts of magic mushrooms that are (allegedly, haven’t done it myself) fairly shelf stable. So there may be some room to play with that. But booze and psilocybin are antagonistic so if.youre trying to trip and get drunk from the same source, you’ll either wayyyy overdo the psilocybin or get so drunk it reduces the effects of your trip

Mutual Aid: A factor of Evolution

Rules don’t have to be enforced if everybody makes the rules and agrees to follow them. A society built on cooperation, free association, and consent is possible.

Your conception of “natural tendencies” and “the strong eat the weak” smacks of social darwinism. Social darwinism is pseudoscientic bullshit.

You’re wrong, plain and simple

Pretty sure it’s a meme that’s going to become real at this rate. Kinda like the “birds aren’t real” meme conspiracy theory that managed to suck a couple of fools in

The first use of authoritarian is in 1852, in the writings of AJ Davis apparently. Here’s the quote:

1856 A. J. Davis Penetralia 129 Does any one believe that the Book is essential to Salvation? Yes; there are many externalists and authoritarians who think so.

Authoritarian was also increasing in usage well before the cold war, beginning around 1910 or so. An example from Nationalism and Culture by Rudolf Rocker, written in 1933:

Nietzsche also had a profound conception of this truth, although his inner disharmony and his constant oscillation between outlived authoritarian concepts and truly libertarian ideas all his life prevented him from drawing the natural deductions from it.

That’s a thoroughly modern use of the word authoritarian, written almost 15 years before the start of the cold war. Authoritarian is used to describe those who support hierarchial systems of government. That’s the short and sweet of it, perhaps not a perfect dictionary definition but it illustrates the distinctive bit. Auth-left ideologies get equivocated with fascism because there’s an undeniable ideological throughline between the two, no matter how much they hate each other.

"The working class […] cannot be left wandering all over Russia. They must be thrown here and there, appointed, commanded, just like soldiers […] Compulsion of labour will reach the highest degree of intensity during the transition from capitalism to socialism […] Deserters from labour ought to be formed into punitive battalions or put into concentration camps.’

Trotsky wrote that. It may not be 1:1 but the similarities between his ideas and those.of fascists are pretty obvious.

All of this, written before the cold war. Tell me again how authoritarian is a made up word that serves only to slander “communists”?

Is applebees dead yet or do we have to continue the war on “family restaurants”?

Are they gonna kick their own asses for protesting or is the general population allowed to get a few pot shots and tear gas canisters in this time?

I did. Didn’t find anything about the “funding a bigot” part specifically. So what’s the deal with the whole “funding a bigot” thing?

Additional context: when the triple parentheses first came into use it was used in the conspiracy theory sort of way so it was usually used for they and them

Example: (((they))) are indoctrinating our children

At least TSA has something to do now lol

It could be worse. You could be from Florida

Sir this is a Wendy’s

Forgot what the thread was originally about lol, my bad. I skimmed the article, I’m working and haven’t given it a proper read yet. I see why you were saying all that now, that’s on me and I apologize.

To say they’re the same is incorrect as they are different compounds. But if we’re judging them on their effects on the mind and body, taken the same way and in the same doses; they illicit a nearly identical response. If you accidentally took a meth pill instead of Adderall, it’s likely you would only notice minor differences if you noticed anything

And what part of that mentioned anything about sourcing meth from the streets? As far as my intentions are concerned, I was speaking strictly pure, prescribed methamphetamine, taken as prescribed. That could’ve been inferred from context since the comment I was replying to was about how methamphetamine is sometimes prescribed for ADHD. The conversation wasn’t about street drugs and until you commented, no one brought it up

Im not telling people to buy crank from some dude down the street instead of going to the pharmacy for their Adderall. You’re just putting words in my mouth and getting mad at them.

However, I was misremembering a study I read a few years ago. Outside of in vitro and rat studies, I couldn’t find anything measuring the pharmacological effects of Adderall and meth. I should’ve said behavioural and physiological instead. It was intranasal instead of oral as well, for what that’s worth. The behavioral effects are essentially identical and there are very minor differences in effects on heart rate and blood pressure. I will be correcting my comment after I reply to you.

Turns out I was misremembering a study I read a few years back. It was intranasal, not oral. They’re still incredibly similar in their effects at the same dose. Here’s the study. And a vice article about the study with commentary from the doctor who conducted it.

Not to mention the pharmacological effects of methamphetamine are indistinguishable from Adderall when taken orally in similar doses

E: I was misremembering this study. It was measuring the physiological and behavioral effects of insufflated amphetamines, not oral. Here’s a vice article with additional info from the doctor who conducted the study
