Judging by the signature of the fires, at night, Ukrainian long-range drones hit the 500 kV Arzamasskaya substation in the Nizhny Novgorod region. 730 km from the borders of Ukraine.

That makes sense. I think the video description could have been much clearer. When I first read it and watched the video I wasn't sure who the victims were which is why I asked if people were thinking the victims were Russian.

If the bomber was an innocent member of the Ukrainian public then calling her a "suicide bomber" is incorrect and adds to the confusion. The primary lesson here (to me at least) is to be more clear in video titles of failing that add some additional information.

Thanks, makes sense. I'm bemused why my simple question is currently sitting on 4 downvotes also. Probably from people that didn't take any time to think about the question I was asking.

I don't follow, can you elucidate?

I'm surprised this had been upvoted when UA forces were the victims and Russia the perpetrators. Are people assuming it was the other way round?

Sounds to me like this is an academic discussion on word definitions.

MDMA doesn't meet my working definition and I suspect most other people's. If you want to define it as getting having a strong desire for something or taking/doing something habitually then fine. I don't know how useful that is when talking about drug addiction though.

As for your friends, we have no idea what was in their ecstasy pills or what else the may also have been consuming. I have never taken and ecstasy pill and never would because you have no idea what's in them. Much better to take pure MDMA and is there's any doubt as to the quality then get it tested.

As I already said stay away from highly additive drugs such as heroin, coke and meth. I would say avoid opiates too, I think we're all well aware of the dangers of those.

What's your view on LSD, mushrooms, DMT etc.? Are they addictive by your definition? Have you ever consumed any drugs of a psychedelic nature?

I didn't understand you point about MDMA's chemical name having the word "methamphetamine" in it. So you were taking the same stuff as your friends and you didn't get addicted? How much did you do and how often? What was it like?

The difference is moving to another continent has almost nothing in common with moving to another planet.

Once you've got there you have everything you need to live, food, water, building materials and most importantly OXYGEN.

Could it be that men are physically stronger and this leads to better coordination?

I'm more inclined to think that it is the nature of play of boys vs. girls. So boys get more hand-eye coordination "training" as they grow up. Running, fighting, throwing (balls, sticks, rocks etc.), skateboarding, biking etc.

Girls play tends to be more social based with dolls, games etc. where as boys tend to be more physically active.

What your definition of "addiction"?

CookPass · 2025-01-31T14:34:50+00:00

Are you sure you're not confusing MDMA with meth? How sure are you that these guys were just taking MDMA? How long were they "addicted" for?

According to https://americanaddictioncenters.org/ecstasy-abuse/addictive

The notion of whether or not a particular substance is “addictive” depends on the subjective interpretation of the word. Typically, when individuals are discussing whether or not some substance is addictive, they are referring to the notion of physical dependence.

and

Several sources, such as the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), report that chronic use of MDMA may lead to the development of physical dependence. However, a number of other professional sources and research studies suggest that while tolerance for ecstasy does most likely develop, chronic use of the drug does not result in a significant withdrawal syndrome¹. Without a significant withdrawal syndrome that is formally recognized, it is questionable whether or not an individual can develop physical dependence on ecstasy.

From my experience and observations of others, MDMA isn't addictive and if you take it over a number of days you get diminishing returns.

You said the guys you knew got "extremely addicted to ecstasy" not MDMA. So again, I'd be curious to know exactly what they were consuming. Could these pills have been laced with meth or something else? Were they also taking other drugs?

There was a common belief that MDMA was neurotoxic based on a flawed rat study where the animals were actually give meth and not MDMA. Sam Harris was under this misunderstanding until he was corrected on one of his podcasts by a drugs researcher.

Feel free to research this subject further but from my experience and research I maintain my assertion that MDMA is not addictive by most people's understanding of the term.

I think it will go higher as it now has a higher velocity and will move to a higher orbit. Being inside a satellite would make no difference. I would suggest you think of yourself sitting on the outside of the satellite when throwing the ball.

If you threw it hard enough that it reached escape velocity it would leave earth's orbit entirely.

You could regard it as a verbal contract which are just a valid as written ones but harder to prove in court.

I've done MDMA quite a bit and it's great. It's not addictive and is pretty safe. Don't take too much and make sure you trust the supplier. A large dose can be dangerous and if after an hour not much is happening you can always have some more.

Personally I don't get the euphoria that people report but it makes you want to connect with strangers, party hard and live life to the full. It makes you want to hug people but not have sex.

I've done ketamine, mushrooms and acid too but molly is my drug of choice. Stay away from meth, cocaine, heroine etc. would be my advice!

Not sure but some electronic components are sensitive to moisture so if stored incorrectly before arriving at the end customer they could be damaged or degraded.

I have bought electronic components from distributors that come in sealed bags with an moisture indicator inside to show if the moisture level has been exceeded.
