I don't even know what that would be

I've noticed the same thing between many generations regardless of chronology. I've also noticed it outside of the us. I think the root issue is that groups of people want other groups of people to be angry at.
They are actually very similar when used recreationally, which is the context of the post.
I didn't interpret it as being exclusively about recreational use. Now that I'm re-reading it, I wouldn't word my response the way I did.
I still think a response would be warranted to provide more clarification, but you are right to take issue with the way I did it. I used overly harsh wording because of my unwarranted emotional reaction to the claim. Because of that reaction, I also failed to account for the recreational use of adderal.
A high recreational dose would provide effects closer to a usual dose of meth. Not the same, but closer. The reason I dislike the comparison is because most people won't understand that and will simply think adderal and meth are effectively the same as they are normally used.
Use of adderal as prescribed is not even remotely close to as dangerous as recreational meth use. I'm trying to prevent people from thinking that's the case.
The similarities between the two drugs simply come from the fact they are both stimulants. The comparison can be made between any two stimulants. The reason adderal and meth are used is because of the stigma adderal has. The comparison perpetuates that stigma despite having very little actual relevance.
There is a reason meth is far more popular for recreational use than adderal is. Its true that the effects of the drugs would be much more similar at equivalent doses, but I don't think this is a useful comparison. You could make the same comparison between effectively any two stimulants. This does not mean they are all similar in any meaningful way. All it means is that they all provide mental stimulation, which is kind of the point. The only thing accomplished by making this comparison is furthering the stigma that people who are prescribed stimulants are actually just addicts.
While meth can provide an effect similar to a normal dose of adderal, no meth user actually takes that small of a dose. No one who casually reads that the effects are similar is going to understand that. They are going to assume adderal users are constantly high out of their minds on legal meth.
They do, but the point is that you shouldn't assume that's the case simply because someone takes adderal. The vast majority of the time, they take it as directed to treat their ADHD.
No the fuck it does not. They are both stimulants, that's effectively where the similarities end. A prescribed dose of adderal will not even come remotely close to the effects of recreational meth use.
He just looks like some guy. Not sure why so many people are commenting on his appearance, its childish and unnecessary.
What actually occupies that guys time, is the process of re-filing the bill to rectify the accidental omission of cousins.
Because its very misleading and does not properly represent what happened. It was designed to have a response of disbelief.
/Because the vast, vast majority of internet users are uninformed, highly susceptible to peer pressure , and love to build and follow social norms for superficial reasons./
I offer a less patronizing explanation:
Social interaction requires other people to interact with. A platform with more people can provide more social interaction. The average person does not make the choice to use larger platforms because they are uninformed or affected by peer pressure. They make that choice because the thing they value most in social media is a large userbase.
The average person does not claim to want something more out of social media. They don't care what advantages or disadvantages a platform has.
There are of course people who claim to care about these things and still continue to use more popular and worse platforms, but they are far less common than you seem to think. Also the fact they aren't changing their behavior doesn't mean they don't actually care, it just means they care more about other things.
That last sentence convinced me this is satirical. I really hope I'm right
It seems the hive has made up its mind once again.
