You’re right, I mistook it for BSW. My bad.

I wish they’d do the same for Russia instead of gargling Putin’s balls.

Lemmy in general seems weird. At .org I had people rather have actual children fucker be free rather than tolerate the police scan all outgoing connections of an entire provider for a single IP over three day. It allowed them to catch the dudes behind a giant child porn website.

I get that privacy is important and state control is dangerous, but at some point you need to show some common sense? That was not a “for the children™” moment or something, it was a concrete and successful strike against actual, significant child porn.

I fucked off of the entire instance right after. What the fuck. I’m not going to have an argument about maybe scanning for an IP over three days is worth kids not getting raped in the arse and put online. Good God.

I wouldn’t want to birth my child into Nazistan as well. Fuck that.

This could also be a great textbook example of social conditioning. Women and men self-perpetuating gender stereotypes and acting weirded out when they’re being violated.

Oh. It’s the onion. Didn’t realize until well after deep into comments.

How many fucking n-words are there?!

What do all those asterisk and numbers mean? I feel like I’m missing a key to decode that.

Edit: Damn, that little post lead to an actual TIL moment. I’m actually going to copy all your answers for future reference, since I enjoy etymology and get into contact with these symbols a lot. Thanks, everyone!

That feels like murder.

Everything is a slur. It’s not about the word, it’s about intention and usage. Everyone who is fine with idiot but gets karen-y at retard does not care about people of reduced intelligence but only about oppressing those around him and making himself feel superior.

Thanks. <3

I genuinely don’t know what 30° F are.

This person does not complain about not being served ten minutes after the establishment having closed, but about the fact that not one of the four employees could be arsed to let the guest know that they’re closed.

I don’t know you or your boyfriend, the situation you’re in, the nuances and nature of your relationship or anything else. Therefore I’ll limit myself strictly to substancees you mentioned and the therapeutic potential behind them.

Medication for ADHD is basically impossible to get in Germany if you don’t pay for it out of your own pocket at a private practitioner. Amphetamine, specifically dextroamphetamine, is a stimulant with serious risk of addiction and won’t be prescribed by anyone other than an expert psychiatrist and only after a rigorous testing. This is not something you can just get a prescription for.

And anti-depressants oftentimes do have no positive effect while lowering the quality of life with a plethora of significant side effects. This is something that usually does not get talked about. If SSRI’s or SNRI’s don’t work for you, meaning your problem is not serotonine-based, you are fucked. This is not a joke.

However, since you live in a country with a basic social security net, there are several options for your boyfriend like quitting his job for health reasons, using extended sick leave and several more.

In regards of your relationship troubles: a possible way forward, should you two so choose, could be a single macrodose of LSD once a week, 200µg at the minimum. That alone will cut his depressive symptoms in half and will get him at a place to understand his own inner workings.

All of that under the disclaimer that the use is therapeutic and constructive in intent, not abused as a coping and escape mechanism.

Psychedelica are very useful in cases of depression, PTSD and such. Methamphetamine is a stimulant that, I can imagine, makes it easier for a depressed person to get to work.

All in all it’s not a sustainable situation to be in but since you live in the US he probably has no other choice than to keep it up -that- way.

To make the situation more sustainable:

• regulate the use of psychedelics into a medical treatment rather an coping mechanism, a single very high dose once a week is all it takes for a therapeutic effect
• switch from methamphetamine to dextroamphetamine, which is basically an ADHD medication. Still potent, but non-toxic. Maybe check for ADHD if your boyfriend isn’t getting energy from it but rather feels relaxed and resilient.

Work from there once the situation has stabilized and a constructive plan for the future has been built.

Feed your pets their fucking meat for God’s sake.

awwdorable.

How is it not idiocy to get burned by european labour laws time and time again? Greed makes stupid.

I’m always baffled how US slavers fall for that trap again and again.
