Women absolutely have pushed to break down barriers in the trades and blue collar fields. Women are also demeaned, under-considered, and sexually harassed every step along the way.

I’d take legal cocaine to be able to achieve my goals… :<

This is exactly it. For Westerners just feeling the weight of the military-industrial complex, this feels unbelievable. The reality is, we were ignorant. Maybe we knew that Bush invaded Iraq, and had seen the pictures of Obama’s drone strikes in Yemen, but seeing those events could never match the daily toll of knowing you’re being targeted every single day. The few times that these crises bled onto US soil (Kent State, killings of George Floyd and Brianna Taylor, police brutality at BLM protests, Jan 6th insurrection) it felt like an unbelievable atrocity, but this was what the anti-war movement was trying to highlight.

I thought I understood what was being said because I knew the facts. Trump’s reelection showed me how wrong I was.

Female Hitler let’s goooooooo!!!

I’m sorry. The guards just let it happen because they were threatened with angle grinders? not even ranged weapons? Do they not have TASERs?

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.)

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’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.
