I'm over 40, have ADD, have extensive experience, and am grieving two close friends who died of fent in their coke in the last few weeks. You'll likely conclude the same thing I did, that it's way overpriced and you need a whole lot more to get the dopamine dump that makes it worthwhile.

You asked, I answered. Knock yourself out (but please, test your shit. Fent strips are cheap and often free. Check with dancesafe.org or others for best practices on testing. I'm not worrying about you, but I'm sure you have people in your lives that love you dearly, and I hope they never go through what I'm going through right now.)

Because of that? It'd be a lot cheaper and much much safer to get a prescription for ADHD medication. You're not missing anything.

Best case scenario, what can we hope for?

Forgive my cynicism, but even if they get caught for egregiousness, I can't imagine they won't just get a "cost of doing business" slap on the wrist. I can only hope I'm wrong.

Betsy DeVos is the sister of Erik Prince who founded Blackwater, the controversial mercenary group, for those that didn't know. She vehemently suppressed anything that would benefit public education and funneled public funds to private education while she was Secretary Of Education.

As I understand it, shit, piss, and fuck were common words in Old English. When the French-speaking Normans invaded the Anglo-Saxons, they made the people and their language lower class, crude and dirty. Defecate, urinate, and fornicate were substituted as the proper way to speak. This was a way to continue oppressing a conquered and occupied group of people. These views have persisted for hundreds of years and been adopted by various groups over time. Something to consider when you find yourself viewing the words others use as crude.

Based on this history, you might also see why saying "pardon my French" is ironic as fuck.

Not a chance. We'll pay them to develop the product they'll then sell back to us. Yay!

I read something at some point about how our fists seemed to have evolved or at least adapted to be well suited to delivering a punch. Many people do not use proper hand forms for it, but I suppose it's a learned skill if not at least through trial and error.

I use it too. Tried a few different ones and like boost the best. I finally just paid for the non-ad tier. One time cost of 3.99. I would have been turned off by a subscription.

Funny how folks like the person you responded to think they are the most enlightened individuals and that everyone else just doesn't get it. They act like thinking for themselves is parroting buzzwords they heard on the "news", talk radio, or some private facebook group.

Speaks volumes that they didn't have an answer.
