ssris are known to unmask or precipitate manic episodes in people with family history of bipolar or schizophrenia.

> I'm speculating here but I'm pretty sure if you did an MRI on my brain you'd see lesions from the mixing of mdma and sertraline

ssris actually block the serotonergic effects of mdma and similar.

well, they are. outsourcing is the bigger problem. just like outsourcing decimated manufacturing jobs, now it's decimating white-collar. i well and truly hope you get fired so you see how bad the market is. no other profession has this number of cruel, judgmental narcissists not looking out for their own kin.

don't be asinine. h1-b is what enables this exploitation

it's material conditions that lead to violence, not the tools.

sure tools make it easier, but gun control didn't stop the pm of japan from getting assassinated.

if people weren't so desperate, polarized, and angry, i would bet my entire life's savings gun deaths would be decimated

> Also taking SSRIs near MDMA administration is one of the worst pieces of what is doubtless intended as harm reduction advice I’ve ever seen. You don’t hand people a recipe for serotonin syndrome because of a small scale rat test or two.

you have a deep understanding of releaser pharmacology if you state this. don't take it from me though--matthew baggott, one of the leading researchers studying enactogen pharmacology recommends doing this exact thing

dosed reasonably (~125 mg with no redoses), ideally at lower ambient temperatures, and ideally with an SSRI at the end of perceptible effects to stop MDMA to keep circulating through the neuron and causing oxidative stress, you will quite literally see 0 axonal damage. maybe some neurotransmitter depletion, but this is only temporary.

PCA yes that is concerning but I would be extremely surprised if it ended up in the MDMA supply chain. MDMA is made cheaply at quantities several magnitudes higher than research chemicals. it's much more likely PCA will be sold as a cut for others RC's -- especially as a part of those dreadful cathinone soups labelled "3-mmc" these days

actually, yes, it is extremely hard to determine who finances the political ads you see on TV.

and how is a black box algorithm any worse than a system where only large corporate gatekeepers control what you see? if anything, i'd argue tiktok is more fair and democratic.

terms like "oversocialized" suggest you spend too much time on imageboards and you would do well to get off those sites. same with "humiliation ritual"
