I went on Vyvanse, a slow release amphetamine, and 2 weeks later had a heart attack. I'm pretty sure it was related because I'd taken dexies about 10 years before and stopped after a month due to chest pains, and also the first day I was on Vyvanse I got chest pains again, but the doctor said it was fine so I kept taking them.

I genuinely do think it's a great way to bring people together and give people a sense of common purpose, like a rallying cry or something. Sure the symbol might not be perfect, but it's better than nothing!

I agree with your sentiment, but calling people morons isn't going to win anybody over to your side

I would but I don't have a youtube account

I know a lot of homeless people where I'm from suffer from mental illness and drug addiction, and a small subset of them are probably violent. I'm not sure how that makes them unworthy of help though? But regardless of empathy and compassion, wouldn't society be better off if we provided mental health care and helped them get over their addiction? They could even become functioning members of society!

My gf just went though the same thing last week, sounds fucking awful. She just drinks / smokes weed, so not much I can say to help, sorry!

Find yourself some similarly ND friends who you can be yourself with. There's probably clubs around

Maybe, but chances are it'll get taken down in the next few days

Oh dang, that's $32 AUD! Bit out of my price range!

Have you ever tried listening to hardcore history by Dan Carlin? I find he's the right level of captivating to keep me interested, but slow enough that I can still drift off to sleep

My suggestion is to spend maybe half an hour in the evening learninga new hobby/skill, then when you're in bed go over what you learnt in that half hour in your mind to cement it. You'll find that just running over the knowledge in your mind induces the "counting sheep" effect and will help you drift off to sleep.

If it doesn't work, then at least you'll learn a new skill much quicker!

 

That's it, just wanted to whinge

So I realise I'm probably a dumbass, but I'm not sure in exactly which way yet. I bought an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU in mid 2020, but looking online I see the cards under that name weren't released until 2022, and the specs look different??

I wrote down all the specs for my pc after I built it so I wouldn't forget. Could it be that I just wrote it down wrong and was telling people I had a CPU that wasn't even built yet?

edit: yes I'm a dumbass it was 3600X. I'm gonna go crawl in a hole now, thanks for your time.
