He's on a crusade to get rid of anything with more than one ingredient, including people.

Yeah you can thank all the non diagnosed & non needing taking medication for diagnosed & needing, for that.

Fuck you, I actually need it and y'all cause shortages globally. Fuck You. "I perform so much better" No actualmy I barely compete WITH and its a fucking battle all day long. From putting my socks on to actually make a wage. Fuck You.

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

No fuck YOU for throwing addicts under the bus as if that's not a legit medical problem. Show me one source that says the cause of the shortage is people "not needing taking".

If you're wondering, 5 percent of white college students adds up to about 3.75 million people who aren't necessarily addicts and are effectively wasting supply of the drug.

Wasting? Sure. Causing a supply shortage? No.

parent

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

You don't think nearly 4 million extra users are going to hurt supply?

parent

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

It's mainly because of a manufacturing issue. Increased demand is certainly a factor but there is undeniably much less stimulant medication available than normal from manufacturers.

parent

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

So there's multiple factors. Including people wasting the supply.

parent

[–] UnpledgedCatnapTipper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

The government actually limits how much each manufacturer is allowed to produce, that's the actual cause of the shortage.

Then it's a pretty dick move to try and cheat with it isn't it?

parent

[–] hex@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago* (1 child)

Dude people are gonna do drugs either way. Whether it's a dick move or not. It doesn't matter

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

They aren't even actually good for cheating on tests. I'd understand if they were getting high.

parent

[–] hex@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

How is it cheating?

People are trying to use them like performance enhancing drugs for academia. But of course, they don't work like that for normal people.

parent

[–] hex@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

I guess, but aren't we using it as 'performance enhancing' to be on the same level as other people? Like glasses. If someone who didn't need glasses wore special glasses that helped them see better, would it be cheating? Maybe, actually. I'm not sure lol

I'm not talking about people with ADHD. These are normal people trying to do this even though studies show it doesn't work that way for normal people.

parent

[–] hex@programming.dev -1 points 2 years ago (1 child)

Yeah, and it allows them to focus for longer than usual, they don't have the same calming effects as us, but there are performance benefits at the right dose for anyone (even non adhd folk)

parent

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

The research doesn't support that though.

parent

[–] hex@programming.dev -1 points 2 years ago (1 child)

I mean, clearly they're using it for a reason right? They wouldn't be seeking them out if it didn't do something good for their studying.

parent

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

It provides a feeling of euphoria and thus a sense of confidence.

parent

[–] hex@programming.dev -1 points 2 years ago

I think it's a bit more than that. I'm not disagreeing, though, I think most people abusing it also have ADHD. I know I wasn't diagnosed through school and when I found out about stimulants I definitely used them to study.

Oops, this is some misinformation, friend. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rfk-wellness-farms/

Exaggerated claims designed to provoke a reaction, even in humorous contexts like this, make it harder for us to perceive and react to actual dangerous threats that might come our way. And we're definitely going to need to have an accurate and truthful view of the world in the coming days.

It's a good joke, it's a great joke even, but even so, we shouldn't spread misinformation.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

Tfw you say something and everyone hates it and then someone else comes by and says the same thing in a slightly different way and everyone likes it 😑

parent

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

Its a difference in rhetoric. Yours is antagonistic and the others is measured and fair.

parent

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 child)

If it's fake news (and it is) then I have every right to say, "Get this fucking bullshit off my feed" (my actual response was quite a bit more measured than that). I shouldn't have to be like, "Haha! Oh that's so funny, you're really smart and clever! Oh, but, fyi, that's kinda misinformation, just so you know!"

Would you rather listen to the blunt truth or to a friendly lie? If it's the latter, then that ought to be called out as well as the original point - falling for a fake news story is entirely excusable, but being unwilling to listen to criticism unless it's phrased nicely and defanged is not.

Shit like this is part of why I use term "Blue MAGA," because you'll find the exact same mentality over there. The facts don't matter, if you don't demonstrate you're one of us, we'll write you off anything you say. Critical thought means listening to criticism, even if it's, "antagonistic."

Well I was trying to be simplistic but since you typed so much, the reason your message isnt received well is because you assume Ill intent by the OP, while the one getting up votes makes no assumptions about intent.

Technically theirs is more accurate because they are acknowledging they can't know the original intent, while you are arguing that its obvious what their intent is.
