Even if someone disagrees with your argument, there are alternative versions such as lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) and methylphenidate formulations (Jornay PM, etc.) that cannot be separated from their extended release mechanisms. They literally cannot be abused.

Lisdexamfetamine exists as a generic now too and shouldn't cost more than $15 for 30 pills (though I know there are pharmacies that will price gouge it). I don't know why any med provider would put you on Adderall at this point besides insurance issues and lisdexamfetamine is a pro-drug that delays access to the active drug in a way that is dependent on enzyme activity in your red blood cells. There is a hard rate of release limit to how much can be made available and this cannot be overcome. Methylphenidate isn't quite there in terms of access due to IP, but it's on its way.

Keeping the more advanced versions of these stimulants as schedule II is nothing but cruel. Either the limiting mechanisms are proven and they should not be restricted, or you don't trust them and never should have approved the drugs for use.

More improvement in the area of vaccine technology, acceptance, and adoption of these techniques: alternative forms of administration, less reliance on boosters, improved thermal stability. A better understanding of the immune system, neuroscience, and human biology in general. I expected more infectious diseases to be eradicated such as HIV, TB, and malaria.

These things are progressing and I see hope in how technologies are progressing, but I believe vaccine and infectious disease research and development have been severely limited by the industry's obsession with intellectual property and pursuit of profit. Our understanding of human biology has improved, but thinking back to my teenage years, I was naive as to how complicated biology is and how little we actually understand.

I'm still a bit salty no one ever brought dinosaurs back from the grave. Our progression in flight technology has been disappointing without flying saucers too.

As someone who meets your criteria, why would I ever put an antenna on my shit again when I can just pirate things or block the ads? An added benefit is that companies think both hurt them as if they are people and subverting their BS fills me with joy.

Whether the commenters are talking cable or not, both are arguably garbage alternatives to more contemporary methods of streaming media except in special circumstances due to the abundance of cell tower coverage and bandwidth. I wish I could say that radio was not also lumped in with this, but again, 50% of airtime is ads and I find the radio in my car less useful with each passing year.

You're allowed to like something and have people younger than you disagree. Fighting and talking down to them isn't going to change their minds. It's cool that you still get use out of older technology for free, but not everyone gets the same value from it.

If anything, don't blame young people for ruining your technology, blame capitalism for enshittifying it.

The cost to be born and continue existing in the US is also quite steep and if you hope to avoid these costs, dying is also quite expensive and in some cases illegal.

Mission accomplished

Yes, but I am the guy named Israel that the foreign minister of Israel named Israel sends to pick up the checks made out to Israel.

Considering over 100 aid packages have been sent that don't meet the congressional review threshold, making them public knowledge, how could you know?

Can't hold them accountable for war crimes if they don't have to tell you they contributed...

I would love to see all of the representatives get up and take a break in these moments. The US is giving an empty speech about working together, show them the same level of disrespect. Really, if they are being a bad actor, what is the point of humoring them and pretending this will lead to better diplomatic relations? Send them the message that the world is tired of their shit and is done playing along.

Institutions could easily form their own journals. National organizations that provide grants could also require you to publish in their journal. Universities can run their own journals. These sorts of entities already exist and provide article access for free, publishing in them would just need to be normalized.

These are just a few options without researchers organizing anything for themselves.

Wise words.

The rich have power in money, but the poor have power in numbers. We can improve our lives by organizing and standing together. Unions are a great start.

I experienced the same thing. Thankfully it eventually stopped automatically feeding up his vids.

Index and middle fingers. I never experience fatigue like I would with a thumb-ball mouse. I use the mouse that is one size down from the huge. The Deft Pro I think?
