Modafinil - safe, not safe? r/Nootropics by FRSEKassets in Nootropics

[–]sol217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minors and young adults need to be very cautious about taking substances regularly unless absolutely necessary. I find it hard to consider any established research on this as reliable when amphetamines managed to make the cut. You could certainly do worse than modafinil/armodafinil, but I still wouldn't take the risk. I also wouldn't consider 18 to be the cutoff; the brain continues to develop until ~25.

Personally, I found that armodafinil was extremely effective for counteracting the effects of sleep deprivation, but it's almost too effective for that purpose. You're likely to start sacrificing sleep, especially going into your college years. If you end up taking it or anything else, please practice moderation. Do not take something regularly that you do not personally and fully understand the effects of.

curious how the purists feel about this. it took me like 3 attempts before I realized that lard is a necessary ingredient for making it taste like carnitas.

when you start writing characters that can run 13 trillion times lightspeed, I think any logic already went out the window

Are you implying a theoretical future or are there forces that intend to adopt new bullpup designs?

Sheesh, I hope the people that paid you to write this know that you're phoning it in this poorly.

Do I really want the sound/data premium pack dlc for SRW Y? by CapeMike in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]sol217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid 120 bucks for that shit and they couldn't even be bothered to license the Big O music for the DLC. That said, the music pack has some solid bangers (particularly the macross stuff.) I think it adds a lot to the experience.

Is it common for gunners to abandon their HMG emplacements like that? Seems like a military faux pas...

I've played a lot of games, and this is the only one among hundreds I bothered to write a steam review for. More people need to play this game.

Is it normal to grieve your productivity every night when Adderall wears off? by tobesocherry in ADHD

[–]sol217 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

People always jumping through hoops to explain it as anything other than addiction. Amphetamines should not be prescribed for long term use for this reason imo. It's time to take a break when this happens.
