  • Same as all the elections since Republicans stole the 2000 election. Voters suppression and misinformation propaganda have kept them in the spotlight.

    I am confident that this most recent election was rigged simply based on how nothing has been reported on invetigations of the areas where the election deniers were running the show and Republicans are constantly projecting their worst behavior. The fact that they claim prior elections were stolen is a solid sign they were planning on stealing one and this would be the one because it aligns with Project 2025.

    They will absolutely be leaning into more voter suppression and will be emboldened to alter the actual vote counts themselves to make it look like their voting ratio is even higher.

    Figuring out the right meds will likely involve some that don’t work or have side effects. Do you have the same excruciating feeling from both of those meds?

    I tried some other ones first, and there was a range of one that made me feel comlletely apathetic about literally everything. Like I just didn’t care about anything at all. Not deprrssion, just detatchment. Another made me angry at everything.

    In my case, the methylphenidate was the one that made me feel in control of myself. Thoughts were still coming in on a whim, but I could focus long enough to do something with it. Massive improvement to my life, but I kinda tweeked a bit for the first hour and it seemed to wear off lpetty darn fast. Tried out several dosages and settled ln 20. Tried the sustained release (SR) and Extended Release (ER) versions and out of all of the stuff the 20 ER methylphenidate was the one that I can take which lasts for like 8 or so hours with no jittery feeling and I can focus on what I want to during that time. SR is ok, but doesn’t last as long for me.

    If you are taking the standard dosage, I recommend seeing if you can try out the SR or ER versions. They use different methods of slowing down how fast the medicine is dispersed and one may work better than the other. It could also be the dosage or even the wrong medicine for you. But the slower release meds gave me no jittery feeling compared to the regular kind.

    Also, if you are ingesting other stimulants including coffee, tea, or energy drinks they can affect how you feel on the meds. For me coffee + non ER dosages were not a great feeling. I do drink coffee with the ER version and don’t have any side effects.


  • It’s fundamentally different, and there are many examples of societies like that in history.

    Lynchings were society enforcing their will collectively without an authoritarian structure. Lynchings were often (but not always) opposed by authorities who wanted a trial, even if the trial was likely to be a sham.

    Black Panthers were the opposite, a community defense that was organized as a response to the abuses of those with authority. Basically the opposite of the groups that committed lynchings.

    Being decentralized doesn’t solve the problems of centralized authority without being a tradeoff for the problems of a lack of authority. Both require a society that stands behind whichever approach is chosen and holds people accountable for abusing the social contract. Decentralized might even be better, but it isn’t a panacea.

    What historical societies had little to no authority without running into issues with malicious actors?
