A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

100% of the time I mention this, that’s the advice I’ve gotten. I have tried like 20 strains, edibles, oil, shatter, you name it. I used to smoke every day.

Now no matter what I smoke, anxiety. Sometimes it’s just a little and I have a good time anyway. Sometimes I’m not getting enough air when I breathe and I’m going to pass out and everything I say is the dumbest thing anyone has ever said in history.

Not worth the gamble anymore. I’m cool with rolling every few months and delicious delicious adderall. And too much beer, which is the worst habit one can have, honestly.

Hey, no offense meant, and I do apologize for the glib brevity there. Good on ya for avidly seeking solutions ✊🏽 Stay happy, find your best life! 🤗✨

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh you’re all good! I always expect to hear then when I mention the anxiety hahaha

I still give it a go every so often. It’s always best when I can go be active in nature, and worst when I sit at home and try to do… anything or nothing.

I miss how awesome it made some music, and getting to blasted I would watch a whole movie, love it, and forget it the next day. Double movie enjoyment!

I feel ya there, 100%! Frankly, I feel the same with psilocybin; active in the world, away from people and obvious aspects of civilization. Get out of my own head and up with the birds in the branches & clouds. 🤙🏼

It’s been soooo long. I should eat some golden teachers soon.

~~Silly~~ nosy question: what do you get out of Adderall? I'm prescribed ADHD meds and don't get any recreational benefit from it, so I'm just curious what I'm missing out on.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ask away!

When I take adderall, I usually take 10mg or so. It makes me much more productive than I usually am. I have a giant list of projects that I want to do, but normally I just… don’t do them because of the effort involved.

Or I start something and love it, then the next day I just kinda forget about it. It helps me make progress on my 1,000 Steam games I never play. I’ll actually sit down for a few hours and play a game, THE SAME GAME even.

Last time I had some, I set up my mini server! She’s amazing. Next time I have some, I’m either going to reformat my main game computer, reformat the VR machine that’s been sitting in the living room for months and set that up, or learn UNRAID and set up my big server I have all of the parts and HDDs for. That’s been under the couch for like six months now.

…when I write it out like that, I should prooooobably talk to a doctor.

Sounds like you use it for about the same reason I do.

Talk to a doctor! I found it much less stressful than I expected it to be. I started meds last year and my consult and check-ins have been all online. The biggest problem has been, ironically, remembering to take my meds ~~constantly~~ consistently.

I'm a serial hobby-starter, but not a project-finisher.

If you have ADHD, stimulants regulate you. If you don't have ADHD, stimulants......stimulate you. Adderall is an amphetamine, so people without attention deficit disorders basically get a light meth high from it.
