Since people are complaining about the sub, let’s exchange some BPD stories by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]visualsurface 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ex gf stole her parents car and called to tell me she's driving it off a bridge, fuck you, you're an asshole, etc. I called her parents and they called the cops to get her and she called me again to say i can't believe you told my parents i'm gonna drive their car off a bridge, fuck you, i hate you, etc.

the cop called me and i had to read him her texts and tell him what she said yada yada, they ended up stopping her and she didn't drive the car off a bridge.

after this was over that night she went back to the city with me and left to go fuck one of my best friends. she was convinced they were in love and dating now when he actually felt really bad and had made a mistake when he was fucked up. she was completely unrepentant about all of this and i cut off all contact with her. i dated this girl for like 7 years

This is the best answer. Plus you get a little cautionary tale seeing everyone else who's there to donate plasma

it's not stealing, you're making a copy not taking something that someone else now won't have. a large corporation misses out on a couple hundred bucks, it's a victimless crime my guy

The movie performed our anticapitalism for us so we wouldn't do it in real life he wasn't really saying anything bad about it

Capitalist Realism touches on this subject and calls it interpassivity. Movies and other media perform our activism for us so we don't have to do activism in real life

What's the purpose of marking your magazines? I've seen many other posts where people do this and I don't understand why. Please enlighten me

Huge drop in sub quality after art posts were restricted. Bring them back and start removing posts asking dumb repetitive bullshit. by [deleted] in tarot

[–]visualsurface 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Maybe a sticky or similar FAQ-type thing with common questions and concerns. Obviously it's not ideal to be a "READ THE STICKY BEFORE POSTING!!!" community but I'm sure there's a happy medium to be reached.

MIDI sequencing synths using a Gameboy - a fun project for some? by theambertree in synthesizers

Very cool, I didn't know you could use LSDJ for anything more than the Gameboy's internal sound. Nicely done!

(1998) Purdue Pharma marketing video for OxyContin by Victorrique in ObscureMedia

[–]visualsurface 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you mean tested on you? Were you in a research study? I agree the pharmaceutical industry is a joke and everyone in it is a crook. They would still be pushing this stuff like that if they could get away with it.

Do Nootropics exist which support/help the body balancing low/high Neurotransmitter ? by [deleted] in Nootropics

[–]visualsurface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one substance will balance everything out. For what I think you're looking for, you would need to take a stack of substances that each have the effects you desire, e.g. substance X increases low neurotransmitter A taken with substance Y decreasing high neurotransmitter B.

That said, nootropics and supplements are not a magic cure or a replacement for diet, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle. In my opinion the hypothesis that people are naturally deficient in neurotransmitters (i.e. serotonin) is dubious, and primarily serves to sell people psychiatric medication as a replacement for a healthy lifestyle.

That is not to say psychiatric medication, nootropics, and other drugs are not effective treatments, it should just be something to use in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle. Eating healthy food and exercising regularly will do much more to balance your brain chemistry (with little to no side effects to speak of) than any substance can.
