People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

How about a tiny bit of personal honesty and societal awareness?

If you think this isn't happening with adhdh meds, again, I've got a bridge to sell you
Bro we already did the amphetamine crisis like 20 years ago.
Ah. And like the financial crisis, it was a one-off?
I can't even get prescribed adhd meds lol
Yeah, exactly. It took me 15 years to even get a diagnosis, and then they didn't put me on amphetamines. That's a last resort.
Oh, you can't buy strong amphetamines willy-nilly? How awful.
They don't start you out on amphetamines. The stuff I'm on isn't a stimulant and is not used recreationally.
