I don’t think the scientists abusing meth all have ADHD or they’d have meds prescribed by their doctor.
Then that’s an even worse analogy than I thought you were saying. I get what you’re trying to say, but it comes across as “well that other guy did something wrong, so I can do it too”.
And I know that’s not what you’re trying to say, but that’s how it reads.
I didn’t
Desoxyn is a brand name of methamphetamine hydrochloride. Literally the quintessential ADHD med.
It’s completely different than the street drug “meth”. The only similarity is the methyl-5 ingredient, which is a molecule that our body naturally synthesizes continuously.
It’s actually just one atom away!
That’s not really a good way to spin it. Having ADHD is nothing like functional alcoholism. An alcoholic is destructively addicted to alcohol, and a functional one is really good at hiding it.
ADHD is a condition outside of any external influence, and medication helps normalize individuals dealing with it.
Your approach is the logical equivalent of a burglar saying “I rob people’s homes because they have guns to defend themselves”.
you technically sort of are taking meth in a way
You are 100% NOT taking meth when you take ADHD stims. The only thing linking the two is the core ingredient which is a methyl-5 molecule, which your body makes on its own.
The drug meth is a synthetic methyl-5 compound with a ton of other nasty crap in it that doesn’t exist in ADHD medication.
Like I said, whoever says that is in the same group as the American cheese is almost plastic crowd.
Can you make something that works? Of course! Will it work as reliably as something made using better processes? Usually not.
Are you mad?!? My wife might read this!!
I’ve had someone tell me with a straight face that I’m “basically taking meth”.
This is the same kind of person that says “American cheese slices are one molecule away from being plastic!”
The word “theory” is misused here. It should be “hypothesis”.
A scientific theory is something that’s well established, has a working understanding, and is verified through multiple experiments.
is still clunky compared to others.
Wut?
You’re confusing “trust” with “can guarantee to beyond a shred of a doubt that the system is not compromised in any way”.
This isn’t even a joke. And I think this might actually happen at some point.
There’s no reason to believe that they’re federal agents if they refuse to show ID.
This is what I don’t understand. What’s then to prevent literally anyone else claiming to be from some other agency to intervene and say they can’t take the person away? And then claim they don’t need to show ID?
I don’t know the reason. I don’t know him personally. Only ever met him over calls.
At my last job we had a sales contact that lived in South Africa (he’s white). At one point a few years ago he dropped off the radar, and we finally heard from him about 6 months later. He had picked up his family and moved to England. Left most of their possessions, abandoned the house, etc. He said things were getting too lawless and felt they had to leave immediately.
I also have a friend who’s from South Africa (also white) who has most of her family back in South Africa, and the stories I hear are chilling. I don’t know this, but it seems like things have been going downhill fast for the past 5 or 6 years now (faster than before).
Even Tom Paris wanted buttons back

Remember the other day when Microsoft boasted that 40% of their code is written by AI?
Plex (originally) and Jellyfin are a centralized way of managing your media with aesthetic and easy to use interfaces. I have one Jellyfin server and I have a Netflix/Display+ type interaction with my media. I have the same content on my phone, wife’s phone, my desktop, laptop, my TV, etc.
All watch history, recommendations, up next queue, and so on.
And with the right setup (Wireguard in my case) I can access that content from anywhere.
Yes, hence the “nasty crap”
