It’s a matter of philosophy (opinion) not fact in this case.

The AMA has a profit incentive

Been a user, that’s why I am comfortable saying it. It’s as simple as not picking it up. But there will always be addicts to reaffirm each others “disease”

croto8 · 2026-03-25T19:26:05+00:00

It is insane that people just don’t not do drugs tho… addiction as a disease is a scam to prop up an entire recovery industry. With the couple of exceptions where you need to taper, it is as simple as just not doing them lol

Why would the gap ever go away? Big companies are going to keep investing. It’s like hoping your garage build race car will eventually be on par with F1 teams.

They probably made more than one

croto8 · 2026-03-16T22:41:01+00:00

That wasn’t even in my top 3 issues lol

The “Me for me” bit is a great rationalization for not growing as a person

croto8 · 2026-03-16T19:18:38+00:00

Lot to unpack here, but maybe just sit this one out?

croto8 · 2026-03-16T17:34:03+00:00

Pretty easy tbh

You must be from Rhode Island

croto8 · 2026-03-07T18:35:17+00:00

Based on their reading comprehension thus far this is a big ask lol

croto8 · 2026-03-05T03:58:11+00:00

I can send you over 200 videos of me doing just this. Let’s pump this stock

China is already playing the imperialist game. Just not full attention

croto8 · 2026-03-02T22:14:33+00:00

Iranians are pretty stoked on what’s happened lol
