  • Went off on a rant that isn't really fully relevant, but leaving it because I already typed it.

    My generic Adderall was labeled as "amphetamine salts" when I was taking it a number of years ago. But I was on generic Adderall for like 5~6 years and can't recall if I ever saw "amphetamine-dextroamphetamine" on any of my bottles. I don't recall ever having it feel any different. But I changed over to Vyvanse because even the generic XR would just not last long enough. Which was also kind of a good switch in recent years as I have seen random folks talk about how their Adderall (name and generic) seemed "weaker" than before. And with shortages ramping up causing issues for people. Though there is a massive shortage of the new generic for Vyvanse ever since my doctor and insurance tried having it filled for me back in December of 2023.

    I kept getting an automated message about my refill (or really first fill) being on back order and I wasn't even aware they had a generic yet. So I went to the pharmacy to find out and was told they had literally no idea when it would be available and I was already a week out of meds. Had to be like "well just fill the brand name if no pharmacies had stock please" and just have been paying more. Though it seems my insurance also must have seen how bad shit was. Because my cost the first time was over $250 (was paying only $60~$80 before due to both insurance and a coupon thing Vyvanse had for each year). But after two months, my cost went back down to around $90~$120 from insurance covering more again (just no longer have the coupon thing since Vyvanse stopped providing it).


  • PotD can be effective, but only if enough conditions get bad enough for the majority of people are hurting bad enough. The pressure has to be built-up to the point that the normally "I'm not a political person" types have personally been fucked over badly enough. Otherwise they are able to be kept in line by corpo propaganda about how "evil" the person(s) are for being violent. Law and order and all that.


  • Waiting for the fuck-head right-wing war hawks to claim that it was somehow the "CeeCeePee" that fucked up our soil (unironically). And not the massively profit driven shortsighted corps that push farmers to only grow lots of the same crops without proper rotations. We learned nothing from the Dust Bowl in the US or any number of similar fuck-ups that have happened across the globe over the last hundred years alone.














  • I am curious how many of them had been on the side of "BUt wHY WOUld U EVaR NeEd 30 rnD MAgZ?!??" and had been pushing real hard to make shit hard to get (without having money to pay the poor ppl not allowed tax). And would be right back to pushing said bans/fees on working people if the Dems win. Some of my lib friends get so confused about why I would want to be a communist since I have had guns most of my life.

    Which is at least are good moments to point out that Marx himself said that attempts to disarm the working and poor classes should be met with force. And that all current and former AES nations and revolutionaries know that being armed is important. They just don't have the deeply embedded gun culture that the US has (and of course that most bourgeois nations have heavy control over regular people owning guns).

    I am also kind of more scared of new lib panic buying gun owners. As a lot of them would be less likely to have actual gun safety if allowing their fear take over. Just flag the shit out of people around them and more likely to keep their finger on the trigger instead of outside of the ring.


  • I wonder if the ROK has been getting high off their own (and of course the US) propaganda about how backwards DPRK and its people are. They just believe that folks in DPRK are too stupid to even know how to pull data. Which in a way kind of gives DPRK a small edge in being able to use such stereotyping to catch their enemies slipping. Like the quote about if you are weak appear strong and if you are strong to appear weak. The US showed many times how such a headspace of just assuming that fighters in so many "third-world" nations/areas are dumb and can't possibly be tactical. Shit always backfires.
