  • I prefer 270° myself, its something about just how gorgeous that set of numbers looks, but also probably how close it looks like pacman about to absolutely chomp down on some ghost ass :)

    What's your favorite angle?

  • I can't force people to do the things I think they should. Noone can. People draw inspiration from all sorts of things. Like you right now seem inspired to protect China from racist western policies.

    I dont pretend to speak for my country, or its government, but I can do two things:

    1. Walk the walk, if you believe something then follow it. Examples: de-googling, disengaging with social media, following a vegan lifestyle, research companies before giving them your money.
    2. Talking about all of this stuff in public places. With my family, coworkers, or here on Lemmy, anything we say has the potential to inspire someone to change. You never know what will be the thing that triggers change, but for all the things I listed above I had someone share that information with me in a public forum, which caused me to change.

    I'm sure we can argue the efficacy of this strategy all day, and even some of the examples you gave like Amazon are no longer the behemoth they used to be.

  • Or just maybe you shouldn't share information that could cause someone to harm themselves.

  • "...appear to have diminished or zero response whatsoever to opiates."

    I still think its dangerous to post things like this on a forum without any sort of actual citation.

    I understand its your personal experience, but there are so many compounding factors, it's nearly impossible to say why you had that experience, or if it would happen again if you tried some street fentadope thats available now.

  • Boycotting is a collective action, it spreads like a virus, so you are wrong on its effectiveness.

    You sound like someone who wants hand waive away the real costs of their actions by saying there's nothing you can do to change things.

    I hope the people who read your post aren't demotivated to effect change because of it.

  • Dang that was a quick reply.

    I can't tell if you want to talk or not, seems like you do cause of how eager you were to respond, but then you didnt answer my question :( I just want to have an honest conversation about something I find interesting, why do you gotta make me feel bad?

  • Ford recalls over 550,000 pickup trucks because transmissions can suddenly downshift to 1st gear

  • For me it was only a problem when I had to drive two cars:

    A pickup with the shifter on the steering column (makes me sick thinking of it, horrible design)

    A jeep with an absurd shifting handle which made the gears miles apart.

  • Well I just figure I'll come back like once a day and check on you.

    Hey so why'd you choose racemaniac for your handle anyways? Is it just like generic thing-feeling or is there like some sort of story there maybe?

  • To be fair nearly all my concerns about manuals are from stories others have told me. We have had two manual cars for maybe a decade now and haven't had a single bit of trouble with the transmissions or clutches.

    I even taught myself to drive stick driving one of them home from the dealership. Plus I didnt become proficient at it for a bit of time after that.

    I really prefer manuals at this point. Feels simpler.

  • It takes a little time to get on the ride at first. If you never used two days in a row then its not crazy you never got hooked. Even with recreational opiates, taking home a 20 bag one weekend isn't going to end your life. There are actually weekend warriors who only use on weekends and do relatively fine, if they can stick to the limits they set.

    Also opiates properly prescribed (the least amount needed for relief) are actually not too tricky to kick. I'm talking about 7 day or 30 day scripts that are take as needed or taken daily. You will likely experience nothing more than what feels like a minor cold or flu, symptom wise. You might have a few rough nights sleep.

    There are variations to things, there are many additional gears left to shift into, so to speak, I'm just warning you shouldn't test them out because first gear didn't scare you.

  • Adderall is what's called a mix of amphetamine salts, containing both dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine in a ratio of 3:1.

    Vyvanse is Lisdexamfetamine which is converted in your body to dextroamphetamine and lysine.

    The main difference between the two is that vyvanse has to be converted to be used, and that conversion produces lysine which slows down the action of the amphetamine.

    This results in softer slopes of onset and can feel less intense than adderall.

    Keep in mine though that both adderall and vyvanse have about the same abuse potential once you reach about 100% over a given prescribed amount. It might be that adderall is more likely to be over prescribed or given to stimulant naive people, whereas vyvanse is more likely to be given as an alternate medication and where the slowing of its action makes higher doses feel like less.

  • I think both of y'all have a rough understanding of addiction. There is no such thing as people who get addicted to substances after a single use. There are instances of people trying a drug and then continuing to use it, usually due to availability.

    Its a lot like any other opportunity that enters your life. Sometimes its really hard to turn down the idea of using to fix whatever problems you have in the short term. Noone plans to use forever you know.

    Is it so shocking that average people are just as capable of addiction as the people they see at their local methadone clinic?

  • Please dont test out your theory of "I'm immune to opiate addiction". I promise you that you aren't the unicorn.

  • And how would you say "most reliable" is figured? Is it like a 15% success rate and the next best test is 13%?

    Is this more of a gut feeling thing or is there some sort of data to back up the claim?

  • I'm more worried about beating the transmission to death, but I didn't know about high rpm lockouts so thanks for sharing that.

  • I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.
