Have to say this wouldn't affect me, not because I don't have any empathy but only cold, logical political solidarity, but also because I wouldn't really class myself as particularly intelligent. I'm just walking here

What language is this? Genuine question

I think honestly this is a valid critique even as a fan of space exploration and a "luxury space communism" wisher.

I think visiting other planets has given us some scientific knowledge that is valuable in and of itself in a quest for self-improvement and exploration - seeking of answers to our questions and new questions. I would hope, that this one day can become a worthwhile pursuit for the collective humanity as a voluntary quest, but obviously it's a misallocation of resources when there are capitalists to be eaten first and it's only done as a way to one up the rival empire.

Nah, you choose to take it that way.

Nah, ironically you're reading too much into it.

and it reads that this medication began at around the same time as you started on nicotine again.

No, there was at least a few months between these two events. I should've phrased it better.

Do you think perhaps you are associating the effects of the ADHD treatment to nicotine use?

No. They're wildly different in feel. I can tell when my meds wear off and when they kick in most days. That's why I like having both.

i personally experienced some sticky phlegm and trouble coughing this up

This is far more likely due to the fact you used to smoke. I have anecdotally heard of some people who have issues with feeling like their throat is irritated, but they usually have crazy setups, like 300w 4-coil 0.24ohm temple RDAs with 1.5mg nic on a noisy cricket II in series or w/e. I have a hunch that the reason for it. Those were fun AF but I wouldn't use it long term, it's the equivalent of thinking that because a bar of chocolate doesn't hurt you, then neither can a giant dump truck.

I've long switched to the rechargable elfbars with high strength (relatively) nic salts and low vapour volume which I've had no issues with.

and the dependance on the nicotine made me extremely irritable and unable to concentrate until i vaped

That's true for sure. If I know I'm not gonna be able to vape I just use nicotine patches, I have no psychological addiction to vaping itself, only a physiological dependency on nicotine, if the patches match my nicotine intake levels, then I tend to forget vaping is even a thing at all haha.

Also it takes longer than a few months to break a nicotine addiction.

Yes, in terms of cravings, and those did pass actually, but in terms of such acute withdrawal effects? Nah - something is definitely going on there that wasn't just pure withdrawals.

As i said i have no idea about your personal situation.

You do now that I wrote it out :)

Either way, have a good day!

Well I have a simple formula just for this:

If they believe things I believe, like things I like and go to the web pages I do: they're a productive, well-socialized chad ubermensch patrician. No online issues there, even if they spend 24/7 online they must need it.

If they don't believe things I believe, don't like the things I like, and go to websites I avoid: they're too online, probably an incel too and likely a terrorist in the making and sorely need to touch grass and should have their internet connection stopped.

No idea what you mean, usually on Jerboa alt text is below the image.

You wouldn't be messing with us would you? :)

EDIT: I see you added the alt-text. Haha I genuinely thought maybe you were yanking our chains
