Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

They pay your mortgage and buy your kids food while you're there?

Dexedrine for the win!

Trade offer: you take my Prozac, I go off the deep end and take some fucks with me.

Wow, I'm so glad this dipshit who's never had to work a day in his life could give this paternal wisdom to the plebs who might need this medication to retain employment and not die destitute in the streets.

Who knew they just needed to be sent to a farm upstate so they could run free forever and ever?

As someone who takes Adderall I’m less worried about that than about him attempting to reschedule it to I from II

Zen's fascists will control you

One hundred percent natural

You will jog for the master race

And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can't happen here

Big bro on white horse is near

The hippies won't come back, you say

Mellow out or you will pay

Mellow out or you will pay

I'm on Methalphdenadite, don't really know how to spell that...

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A very ADHD answer. Methylphenidate. It's the generic name for Ritalin.

[–] thewitchslayer@sh.itjust.works 6 points 21 hours ago

Or Concerta depending on exactly what it is. I'm also on methylphenidate and had to check to see if it was Ritalin.

Ritalin is the fast acting version, while Concerta is the slow acting, but longer lasting version. Both use the same active ingredient.

I am not fan of RFK or any of this incoming administration, but I have to admit....those are going to be the most productive camps in the entire world! 🤣

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Technically people do owe taxes on revenue from illegal activity. You certainly could put a tax on something that's illegal, I just don't think it would bring in much revenue I'd you're still prosecuting people for that same thing you are taxing.
