I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I thought vyvanses whole thing was it wasn't readily abused lol

"unabusable stimulant" is a load of pharma marketing horseshit on the level of "oxycontin is less likely to be abused because it's small, pure, fast-acting doses!"

vyvanse is a prodrug that turns into dextroamphetamine

62 mil and he went for loving vyvanse? not coke? or even building a meth production to get that amphetamine high without getting something legal but, illegally getting it(I'm guessing)?

oxy is great to snort. I could totally see wanting to do it on a regular basis. vyvanse replaced aderall that replaced ritalin... all just amphetamines. the same high as meth. pharma is always on that bullshit to cash up with marketing lies.

Vyvanse is fun, I thought the non abuse thing was like it didn't work right if you put it up your nose instead of ingesting it or something

it's a prodrug, so it only turns into dextroamphetamine as fast as your body can break the l-lysine amino acid off the dextroamphetamine molecule in metabolism, and putting it up your nose is going to be real diminishing returns on that front due to loss
it still gets you high as gently caress on dextroamphetamine

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.
Vyvanse slows it down, but you're still getting yeeted on dextroamphetamine all the same with the side effects and behavior that comes with.

Disclosure: I'm an ADHD enjoyer and have an Rx for the instant release regular adderall.


At least he's not on the SBF cocktail. That definitely came about from a guy with too much internet, speed, and money to find the most bespoke stim cocktail I've ever loving heard of in my life.

I love that the pharma-kinetics of that drug is such that if you wear the patches for more than a month, you need to wear them for the rest of your life, lest you be subjected to the slowest and most godawful withdrawals imaginable, while having brain chemistry more hosed up than a psych patient whose lithium ran out.

I think it depends partly on state law? Like in my state I don't think it's legally possible to sue someone to collect on a debt or make them work it off.

In mine it's not really enforceable. You'd have to file something to show their income and get to collect, but if you aren't stalking them then you can't really do much when they make money.

The thing about vyvanse is if you take enough to get high you start pissing brown liquid. I think thats pretty much the anti-abuse mechanism.

Drink while you use amphetamines. that's a clear dehydration sign. Crack thems into gatorade or something.

uh, isn't like a third of the internet Minecraft let's plays? what fuckdumb thinks spending money for minecraft videos is a thing when it's like half of youtube? I guess it might not be anymore, but that makes it less worth making a big project out of. ffs, the game was like 15bux when I got it and great that they made so much money they, as a team, can't even shoot a load on every thousand dollars they made.... but really, who the gently caress wants a minecraft show that already hasn't watched the infinity of minecraft videos?

gently caress you Telltale. You piecemealing assbags. sell a game for $20 and not 5 $6 parts, what the real rear end gently caress is wrong with you that you just are so loving greedy and won't let a good grift go?

well i mean, it looks like a completely different thing than a let's play?

it's a fiction show with recognizeable celebs voice acting characters, and it uses minecraft assets. thats not quite the same thing as watching a youtube video of some rando 12 year old building stuff in minecraft and narrating what they are doing, which is what most minecraft videos on youtube are. neither one appeals to me personally but they seem like they are for slightly different audiences, this one specifically being more for patton oswald fans i guess.

I remember when Minecraft Story Mode was just gonna be a story campaign added as a way to teach people how to play up through entering the End and killing the Ender Dragon. I haven't played Minecraft since I was on a goon server here called Insert Coin(s) back in like 2011-2012 though.

Didn't the Yogs crew start here too? Ye Olde Goon Squad and somehow it metamorphosized into Yogscast or whatever and it got bad
