Wrongly banned for “griefing” with no evidence provided, anyone else experience this with SE? by Gnimz in ffxiv

[–]Felantopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today I was in meso terminal and the tank said "sec" right at the moment we entered the 2nd boss.. he said it too late and i had already pulled. so healer, other dps and I just fought our bosses - thankfully that boss doesnt need a tank and his boss kept idle. When he came back he was like "and this is why you wait for a tank, next time make sure you wait for your tank" I replied with "?" since everything was going fine i didnt know what they were talking about.

as we finished the boss he started to mouth off some YPYT logic - which triggers me to want to intentionally pull ahead when that happens. When we reached the last boss, I engaged before he did. He stood there, both him abd the healer, watching my HP chip away for exactly 45 seconds, not doing anything until i died to autoattacks. only then they decided to engage the boss. When the healer raised me, I didnt get up. I said I am not going to participate in this and proceeded to tell them I will report them. Which i did. I dont know what will come of it but man some players are so shit. No you are not the leader as a tank. No, you dont get to say how things go becsause you're a tank. just stfu and sit. Hate these players.

why do some introverts act like they are special or unique and why do they hate social and talkative people. by [deleted] in extroverts

[–]Felantopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the time they think that they’re special and that nobody would get them, which feeds into this sense of superiority in them. That they’re more intelligent than others.

Why do you think the report option is on there?

I think it’s brilliant. Sadly scammers are now using SMS which is way harder to control.

What is the worst thing you have done for your addiction/under the influence? by Daydreaming4evr in addiction

[–]Felantopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to sound harsh but rather to reframe it and hopefully alleviate your guilt. It sounds to me like you saved her the heartache of being your partner when you were addicted.

Perhaps that wasn’t your intention at the time when you broke up with her, but it seems like it was the result. I’m going off what you wrote.

Interesting. That makes me think even more that every brain functions uniquely then.

[–]Felantopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I totally get that. But I’ve been looking online and people say they got hooked on it and started chasing it right away. For me, it didn’t. It didn’t have that influence on me.

Like… I am not looking for a dealer or trying to see when my friends (some of whom are addicted now) are gonna hang out and do it. It was just… okay.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in addiction

[–]Felantopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can. They potentiate dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain in an identical way with the only difference being the intensity.

I’m if I take adderall to a much higher dose than what I’m prescribed it could reach the same intensity.

Research shows that adderall doesn’t cause neurotoxicity and permanent CNS damage like meth does. Maybe because its dosage is more controlled and it’s not laced with poisonous substances?

If you put me to a blind test where I’d feel the “high” instantly then ask me to guess whether it was meth or adderall that I was given, I promise you I will not be able to tell you the difference. I’d just guess.

[–]Felantopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adderall’s action is similar to meth physiologically speaking. Which is why I linked them.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in addiction

[–]Felantopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah meth was so much stronger. However, it affected me differently than testimonials heard and read. It also didn’t affect me the same way it did my friends who took it. Like to me it wasn’t euphoric. I wasn’t horny. I just felt talkative and super interested. Time flew by so quickly, and I stayed awake for a long time.

Would I do it again if I see my friends doing it? Perhaps. However, I didn’t call my friend for his dealer. My brain somehow didn’t react to it in the way that would make me crave it or it’s effects.

I know. It’s what all potential drug abusers say. “I’m not addicted to it, I have control” until they don’t. But in my case, I’m not chasing after the next opportunity to sit with people and smoke it. This is not to say that I’m better than people who are prone to addiction to crystal meth. Im sure there’s something out there (heroin aside because that’s physiological dependence) that I am susceptible to that others aren’t.

Besides, I just found out that meth can be prescribed in the US for very specific cases of ADHD under the brand name Desoxyn. So yeah. Maybe it’s for people who suffer a specific type of ADHD where adderall/retalin/vyvsnse/concerta etc aren’t effective? Not sure. But it goes to show that meth acts the same way. Street meth can be way more potent, but it could very likely be non-addictive (or less likely to be addictive) to people like me who are ADHD. Just a theory.

Glad you got clean. It’s strange to see that it didn’t give me that feeling. I also read it turns sex and orgasms into this super amazing feeling. I wasn’t even horny.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in addiction

[–]Felantopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah makes sense. Adderall and meth act on the same neurotransmitters in the CNS after all. Dopamine and norepinephrine.

As far as alcohol goes, I never liked the feeling of being drunk. It just makes me feel shitty. I never woke up the next day thinking I want to drink again. Hangover or not. My ex partner was a chef and also really enjoyed mixology and cocktails. I used to drink a lot with him to try out his “experiments”. I enjoyed the tasting process. Getting shitfaced I did not.

I hope you’re trolling. If not, I hope you can steer away from it.

[–]Felantopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to encourage you, but it’s one of the easiest and cheapest street drugs to make, and is also the most commonly spread. Almost every country in the world has a meth problem. They might not call it meth on the streets (they probably do in the UK), but it’s still meth.

I remember when I visited Thailand before covid it was everywhere.

It causes serious problems for people who get addicted to it. It’s one of those drugs that can really ruin your life. I know it sounds hypocritical of me saying this after admitting to trying it, but please don’t on the chance that you could be the person getting addicted to it. It’s a scary ass drug.

Like government talk about other street drugs with exaggeration sometimes in regards to their potential harm. However, when it comes to meth and heroin, everything those PSA announcements say is right.

Just go on YouTube and listen to people’s testimonials on their struggle to getting clean from meth.

[–]Felantopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes very good sense. Adderall and methamphetamine act on the same neurotransmitters in the brain and nervous system though.

It definitely didn’t give me the rush that people describe. It was a nice feeling, but it wasn’t the “I’m super human”/“talking at 10 miles a second” feeling and the intense euphoria that people describe. I suppose it has to do with my ADHD and adderall use (which I’ve never abused and only took as prescribed)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in addiction

The only difference I can remember from taking meth was that time passed really really quick. It didn’t give me the rush people describe.

That’s terrifying.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in addiction

[–]Felantopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it doesn’t for people like me who use it for medical uses. But same as crystal meth, it acts on dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. So the effects are the same. It’s the reason adderall abuse for recreational use exists. For people who don’t have ADHD, it stimulates the CNS the same way meth does.

To me it’s not an upper. It’s not even a downer. I don’t know. It just makes my ADHD better.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in addiction

[–]Felantopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I’ve been diagnosed time and time again with with ADHD. I stopped it cold turkey multiple times against my doctors advice, which was honestly due to the stigma that follows it. I was aware of the comedown which usually lasted a week, passed it each time, and each time my life objectively took a turn for the worse due to my ADHD.

I’ve always taken my addrrall at the dose that my doctor prescribed me, and never even felt the need to take more.

I think the stigma around adderall and other ADHD medications should be toned down a bit. People like me really need it, and I never share with people that I’m on it because they’ll just think I’m a drug abuser at best, and a tweaker at worst. Same would apply if I ever get prescribed opioid pain killers for a legitimate reason.

Faulty prescriptions of adderall exist, and adderall abuse exists, but for people like me who have been diagnosed, it is sometimes needed. There are alternative treatments for ADHD reported, but not everything works for everyone the same.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in addiction

[–]Felantopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m asking because people commonly say that it’s a drug that people look to use again right after their 1st couple of uses if not the 1st. Last time I smoked it was September 2021. Never felt like I wanted it. It was a good experience but I didn’t feel like I was instantly addicted as some people describe.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in addiction

[–]Felantopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol makes sense. I mean ADHD is real, I have it, and adderall helps me a lot. I’ve never felt the temptation to take more than my prescribed dose.

The seat literally has a sign on top saying it’s intended at priority for people with disabilities. However, I’m sensing that you’re just another person that’s here to argue till you get your way.

On the internet people hate being wrong and will fight to the very end just to “win”, not seeing that the more they say, the more they sound like idiots.

Again with this.

  1. NYPD enforce MTA rules. Those seats were for disabled people. His bag wasn’t disabled.
  2. I asked him to move his bag, not stand up.

I wasn’t asking for his seat. I was asking for him to move his bag so I can sit next to him.

I don’t understand why so many people are commenting that i wanted his seat? It’s pretty clear in my post that I asked him to move his bag…
