Just looked it up. I now see the guards were told to abuse the prisoners. Thank you for informing me. I was unaware.

think of the children!!! :< :< :< :< :<

And the “Tea” app leak happened right before these age-verification rules started popping up everywhere. It’s obvious cause and effect, but it was also demonstrated RIGHT before.

Don’t put your hand on a hot stove, especially after watching someone burn their hand on that hot stove.

Do not let Google escape this, ever. Cancel all payments to them. YouTube Premium, YouTube subscriptions, etc.

ADHD medication abroad is something I’ve researched a bit, and my understanding is the USA is actually not the worse by any means. Many countries, including Japan, completely ban stimulants. While the financial burden should be easier with nations with single-payer healthcare, like Canada, there’s still often the drug regulation stigmas that the USA has.

AFAIK it’s only the under-developed nations that have easy access to Adderall. I found a rated world map on r/ADHD, but it just broadly rates “legality” and doesn’t seem that informative because the USA and Canada is in the friendliest category. Please correct me if you have other info.

This is exactly how I felt too. I’m a grown adult. I don’t want to be babied. I didn’t like being infantilized as a kid or teen, and I won’t tolerate it now. I wanted stimulants so I would be able to do better work for other people faster and with less stress on me. Help Me Help You… Or spit in my face, I guess, and we both suffer.

(Also, stimulants aren’t addictive. That’s DEA propaganda. The ADHD brain is just naturally prone to dependency.)

It’s the same people throughout. The post is about the USA.

We need some wider medicine-decriminalization movement. End the War on Drugs. I was trying to rally one up with a few former IRL friends, but we’re in the USA and there’s 80 ongoing crisis every moment, so it just didn’t seem like something people would have time for.

I stopped talking to most people I knew because getting “i don’t do politics” as a dead-end to every response is just disheartening.

I was a shut-in before the 2024 Election. I figured social spaces there were somewhat immature because the mature people would have jobs and real life involvement. Then I started going outside, and I lost all hope. I’m too stupid for people to be this dumb. (Though I’ll admit, social media, algorithmic content, and the AI products probably made people dumber.)

Stanford Prison Experiment. Slavery. Lynch mobs. Segregationists. Anti-Feminists. Prison-Industrial Complex. The majority of the country voting for the leader passing out signs that said “MASS DEPORTATIONS”. Maybe there’s some inherent cruelty to the mainland USA. Maybe there’s still too much lead particles in the air. As someone who has never left the mainland, I’ve seen overwhelming evidence to the “non-empathetic” side. Or, perhaps, the majority of people are passive, and cruelty is most capable of spurring people to action.

Typical Smug alt-right contrarian figurehead LARPing for their persecution fetish; but it seems this somehow got MTG to push against her party a bit… so, win?

the “peaceful means” are We the People rolling over and allowing the alt-right to continue deploying military and Gestapo agents in our streets and communities.

We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be,"

if everyone stops believing in peaceful change, the only thing that will be fucked is shareholder profits ;)

I fear exactly the same. I wish my fellow USAmericans had the courage of South Korea and Nepal.

what’s that? Nintendo’s supporting the Department of Homeland Security? I’m enraged. These woke devs putting politics in our games! I’m never buying another Nintendo product again! (If enough of us say it, maybe we can pressure Nintendo to sue?)

I’m genuinely unsure whether having Vance or Trump as president would be worse. I’m not sure whether Trump’s incompetency is saving or dooming us more.

The animation video clips sure are copyrighted. Ask Ketchum is Nintendo’s intellectual property. I’ve been in fangame spaces for years. The motto is - when the articles come out; the uploads go down.

It’s a society problem. I grew up in a middle-class suburb. Absolutely no one played outside. Kids were booked from the end of school until dinner with structured “activities” that were just college resume points. None of the 15 kids on my block would have been able to join a game of “soccer” or throw a frisbee, because they were booked full-time from the age of 8. People need to let kids explore and entertain themselves.
