    As an adhd enjoyer, the idea of someone using the existence of stimulant medications of justify raw dogging gas station meth is fucking wild. Stimulant meds have been around since the 50s, but they are waaaaaaay better now, mostly because of novel delivery systems that carefully control the release rate of the active compound. I’ve learned the hard way that while generic allegra-d is fine, you can’t fuck around with your adhd meds this way, because the difference between generics varies wildly, and unless you request particular manufacturers – any or all of which may be in short supply when you request it – you’re playing russian roulette with your executive functioning for the next month.

    Just getting generic adderall xr is like buying a plane ticket, but not knowing till you board whether it’s an Airbus, a Boeing, or an Ork Wagon with a thousand pounds of fireworks glued onto the roof.

    Then these guys are just going to do meth that they got from a guy?

    Jesus.

    but it does make sense to me for why people who are concerned with the viewership of their content would want to move back.

    Eh, I wonder if that need for attention is the problem with social media in general. I’ve really enjoyed the lower stakes discussions with experts here. I’m also digging the absence of noise generated by anonymous drive-by weirdos trying to maximize their internet points. Mind you, I think the structure of the fediverse is a net negative, but high-quality moderation on awful is more than accounting for that AND it doesn’t have all the built in attention-economy dark pattern stuff, so it’s easy to check real quick then put down, which is nice.

    If you compare our buttcoin to /r/buttcoin today, for example, the difference is vast and obvious.

    It remains to be seen if the New Management at /r/sneerclub can perform at the same level, but based on the news, I can see why someone might want to fire up the ole popcorn machine at this particular point in time.
