You have a poor understanding of sales tax bud

Ok, yeah, sure, but the title doesn't even make sense as a sentence.

Wtf is this title?

There's a Wikipedia article on US interventions but it misses some afaik.

This one is a CNS stimulant.

They're both linked to depression too. My point is that you need to get this idea of correlating the terms because of how they look similar out of your head. It's a result of drug abuse (addiction/overuse) and the consistent changes caused by that in brain chemistry, causing negative effects when they aren't affecting you. It's not a result of it being a depressant vs a stimulant that you're addicted to. A depressant, when not abused, relieves symptons of depression (and even when abused, often relieves them upon intake). Not going to get into how stimulant mania is likely caused mostly by lack of sleep, but you can look into it if interested.

And you're right that psychedelic abuse hasn't been linked to increased depression or anxiety... mostly because there's no research on it whatsoever. In fact, almost all of our studies on drug abuse and addictiveness are incredibly flawed in the first place. That doesn't make your anecdotal experience from a drug ward any more powerful tho, especially as it's going to self select for people with mania as they are more likely to both be committed by the state and by their family or friends, more likely to cause people to take notice and sit them down, etc.

Analogies are great when it's not medicine. Medicine is really fucking complicated tho. We can have a veritable chemical pathway and successful trials in animal testing and still end up with a result we shouldn't expect.

My point is not that CNS depressants don't cause depression from abuse, but that it's just a result of abusing drugs, not the fact that they're a depressant class drug.

Depressant isn't linked to depression tho. Get that idea out of your head completely. Like seriously go read some neuro textbooks and stop getting your pharmacology info from tiktok. Depressants depress the CNS... depression is a mental illness.

Also I've abused psychs and known a few others that did and I wouldn't call any of our our activities/side effects manic or psychotic by any means. I know one person who had a family history of schizophrenia that had negative effects like that from their abuse. But just the one. I'd be interested in scholarly articles about the subject tho since I have biased data, and apparently, yours is not, at least from what one would construe from your comment.

Yeah but get the idea that depressant and depression are linked out of your head bc that's just not the way it works.

Abuse of any psychoactive drug on the regular leads to depression. It isn't just this concept of depressant or stimulant or even related in any way. Any stimhead can tell you all about the suicidal ideation inducing comedowns and inability to get anything done after stopping use.

It really isn't that hard. It takes about 3-4 mins to iron a dress shirt to look pretty damn good compared to doing nothing for it at all not including the time for the iron to heat up. I also save time by using the steam button heavily and not being afraid to throw on a slightly damp and warm shirt. Still, when I decide to change my shirt right before I'm walking out the door and I only have 10 mins or I'm gonna miss my train I still always have time to throw the iron on and give it a once-over. Like yeah if you want all your garments absolutely perfectly ironed it might take a little longer, but you might just not have the technique down from lack of practice. For the record I'm gen z so idk if I'm just weird or if the meme is maybe not as universal as some think.

Clearly you've never bought linen :p

I mean yes to the sentiment but it would be quite a bit different if these artists signed a distribution contract with the AI company saying they got a miniscule percentage of royalties for every track somebody generated or even licensed this music to train on whatsoever.

I've talked to an ace guy abt this and he tried to masturbate as a teen and literally couldn't get hard. He's into romantic stuff tho. Everybody's different I'm sure tho

Those are the hadiths which is kinda like a state law vs a national law where the national law overpowers the state law (except in specific circumstances) or how the us constitution overrides national law. The quran is the only book that's the word of God, and if you take all the hadiths as truth you open Islam up to all kinds of other critiques. Besides that, the shia/sunni split has a ton of hadith issues where they only treat some as truth and not others. For the record it's not just Muslims or something. All of the Abrahamic religions are immensely fucked and I'm pretty sure I could make a similar case for most others. Even fucking Buddhism is being used to justify an ethnic cleansing rn.

You have definitely made me reflect on what I said and I shouldn't have made such a claim when I don't really know what I'm talking about entirely.

The worst part of calc was honestly the rude awakening that my algebra skills needed woooork

Jsyk in this specific context it's hanged. Weird right?

Like:

Hanged from the neck until death

That's not what the term martyr means when we're referring to Islam tho. They're usually referring to Jihad which is much more specific. (And problematic)

Also, imagine thinking an American dictionary and en English word mean anything when the only 'true' reading of this religion is Arabic

How is this a regular occurrence? Are they factory farming donkeys alongside cows for some reason? That would have no profit motive and I don't think you're talking about when a family farm's donkey dies and they sell it to be used in dog food, so I'm honestly interested in how this has become such a widespread practice.

Poes law?

You really don't need a degree in literature to become a published author. That's like getting a degree in media studies so you can become a youtuber. Yeah, you could do it, and it may give you some advantages, but like... You're already literate, right? Besides that, taking a class or two on literature or creative writing would give you a lot of the skills you need to get you on your way, which you can easily do while pursuing another degree that ensures greater monetary security or (less easily) at a community college while also working.

I'm not saying that the system that begets this thinking is good, but it is the one we live under.

Thanks!
