  • Sorry to pick on your comment, but I have a question about a statement everyone seems to assert…

    Is he charismatic? No.

    (As a disclaimer I’m out of touch with people’s impressions on this)

    I don’t understand this statement from everyone. Charismatic compared to what? He’s way more charismatic than most humans - he’s a career politician who manages thousands of relationships. He snaps off solid one-liners to shut down trolls. He leaned into the Dark Brandon thing. If he spent effort seeming even more charismatic, I’d be more concerned about his fitness for the job.

    Put another way, I see him as having the right balance of charisma for voters aged 35+.

    What are people wishing we had instead of that, in a presidential candidate?








  • Yea judoka had no striking game and boxer had no wrestling game. Under these conditions the grappler could just wait out the striker until catching a grapple, then win. This is why the Gracie family pushed UFC in the 90s, because karate-and-boxing-obsessed US audiences were constantly surprised by these matches, and it led to more people signing up for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!





  • I’d say to learn to fucking read, but that’s not even the main problem with you. It’s not even the condescending smugness while being clearly wrong, though that does make you insufferable.

    The real problem is how the only conversation you want to have is to undermine a valid news article for invalid reasons and to undermine the people responding with relevant lived experience, then intentionally miss the point and double down to attempt to convince yourself you didn’t say something stupid in the first place. Fuck off.


  • From your linked article that you don’t seem to have read beyond whatever quote you think vindicates the incorrect thing you typed:

    However, Brody explains it’s essential to understand that the safety and tolerability of legalized prescription ADHD medications are miles apart compared with illegal meth.

    “To emphasize this, I will compare it to the degree to which the distance to the moon dwarfs the distance to the local supermarket,” he states.

    “Since Adderall is chemically meth” is not medical information, nor is it accurate, but is what you posted.

    Literally the next sentence after your quoted line:

    While these small differences are important in how they affect us, without a degree in chemistry, they can be difficult to discern.

    Then, digging just ONE CENTIMETER FURTHER into either article, the OP is clearly about illegal meth, and the article you linked describes illegal meth as wildly, exponentially different from Desoxyn or Adderall.

    Get your harmful bullshit out of here. “How is this news?” Idk try reading the article man.
