2018-03-15 at 1:28 AM UTC in Nootropics you're taking
Originally posted by Jeremus Nootropics aren't more effective than placebo are they?
Yes and no. Some nootropics carry a number of very well-documented benefits that can be used for general cognitive enhancement, or to treat more serious illnesses like dementia. Piracetam is one example of such a chemical, as there's a mountain of research out there to confirm that it can be mildly helpful in a few different applications. If you find yourself seriously considering nootropics, I would start there. -

Yes, they are slightly left-of-center. Not very, and not moderately. I think that, if you mean to expose NPR as a leftist political operation, you'd be the one of us to carry the burden of proof. Would you care to demonstrate why they are unworthy of federal funding, or why Fox and Drudge are? -

Originally posted by lempoid loompus well heroin doesn't cause neurogenesis, i'm pretty sure it reduces it
i'm of course talking about what works for me. why the fuck would it matter what generalizations i can make about a class of chemicals when i personally respond to them without any side effects. im talking about what i'm taking, not what you're taking. the mechanism of action is only effective due to the indirect increases in neurogenesis, and my body can use that neurogenesis without detriments, therefore it is a nootropic for me
It really doesn't matter unless you want to be a pedantic twat about it like I am. If you're benefiting from your prescribed SSRI and have no side-effects that you can't tolerate, that's fantastic. They're cheap, they're easy to get prescribed, and, if you find the right one, they can work very well. I wish I could respond as positively as you do to them, but the majority of people who try SSRI's don't have such glowing experiences, so I hope that you can understand my scepticism. While I maintain that they are categorically non-nootropic, I'm interested to know why you think otherwise. Are there cognitive benefits that you attribute to using them? How has the condition they were prescribed for changed over the course of your therapy? -

I wouldn't expect the country to fund Drudge or Fox News, why do you expect funding for NPR?
You're drawing a false equivalence. NPR reports on facts with a slight bias to the left. Fox and Drudge are barely news at all. -

Originally posted by lempoid loompus antidepressants cause neurogenesis. if they aren't causing you side effects and work for you they definitely are nootropic. not everyone has to pile and try out hundreds of chemicals to have a therapeutic response. if that's the case for you it just means you're never going to get any better no matter what you do.
Your definition of nootropic isutterly meaninglesshighly flexible. By that logic, someone who doesn't experience any negative effects from heroin and achieves their preferred state of consciousness is reaping the benefits of a nootropic. For a drug to fall into that category generally requires that it not produce negative side-effects within therapeutic usage - this is not the case with SSRI's, which most patients report to cause them at least one intolerable drawback so that they start on another, and then another, etc. Lots of substances cause neurogenesis when taken long-term, but not all of them are prone to making you gain weight or lose empathy or have suicidal thoughts. If you are taking an SSRI that works for you, that's great, but don't pretend like a significant number of patients don't have difficulties with them. -

2018-03-14 at 11:29 PM UTC in Nootropics you're takingYeah, not to be rude but that list sounds like a combination of the limited selection of OTC stimulants available to US adolescents and staples from your psychiatrist. I wouldn't call it a nootropic stack, except for the fish oil, and, depending on who you ask, gingko.

Maybe he is just a faggot beta lackey troll, or maybe he was actually in on a conspiracy to defraud the entire user base and annihilate you in the process. Maybe the truth lies somewhere between these possibilities. We won't know until we have a screenshot to evaluate. -

Originally posted by Malice That kind of makes sense.
I literally wrote that because I have Asperger's it gives me cognitive quirks, primarily visualization and memory, and I'm able to create, memorize, and edit it all in my mind, which I greatly prefer. There are memory and visualization quirks, but the rest of what I wrote isn't even true.
I also literally wrote: "I fucked up. I'll take the penalty and remember next time", and blamed it on having overlooked that in the paper outlining what you had to do for the in class essay and missing the last class due to an appointment, which is true.
I actually already revealed that I'm autistic to that teacher because she pulled me aside as class ended and asked me why I wear sunglasses in class. I really think there's a good chance I'll be able to get away with a lot of things by blaming it on autism, her assuming it's because I'm autistic, and possibly getting higher grades out of pity.
Eh, your teacher probably wanted to see if you were blind or something. They have to ask, but they can't technically ask you to stop if you indicate that you've got something covered as a student disability. Sure, they can challenge you, but 99% of teachers won't get within 100 yards of that for fear of losing their jobs. I'd say just don't take advantage of them, they'll probably be able to tell and they won't appreciate it. If you're upfront about Asperger's, however, the majority of teachers will be more than happy to accommodate your learning style. -

Originally posted by Jeremus Right, right of course. Just like how everything Trump says is 4D chess, everything was predicted.
Please post proof.
I await the easily doctored photograph of his PM from 5 years ago predicted this event and revealed my social security number.
Put your dick on the table like me faggot, let's see your inches.
If he does actually try to give us doctored proof, we are faced with a difficult question: what is Fox Paws' investment in this scheme that it requires he fabricate evidence of Enter's strategy? -

Originally posted by Malice I know what you mean, but this seriously felt like I pulled off something good. I don't think the outline really even matters that much, that note I wrote about why I didn't write one was in part for the lulz. Part of the reason why I wrote it was just to see what kind of response I get.
Like, this could easily have been top of the class good, by a wide margin, which is what I repeatedly experienced in high school. I wonder if next class I'm going to get asked, "Where did you learn to write like that." and I'm just going to smirk smugly and reply honestly, "Nowhere."
If your writing here is anything to go by, I agree that your teacher will be impressed. But they didn't ask you to include an outline because they don't know you can write a paper without one; much the opposite. They want to know that you can organize your thoughts prior to writing an essay. If you just hand in the final product, they can't see your reasoning. If they ask you what your reasoning consisted of, and you reply ambiguously, they might begin to suspect plagiarism. -

Originally posted by stupid noob Why would he ever have to leave the forum under any circumstances anyway? Literally no one gives a fuck. We have several rapists on this board, myself included. I for one applaud Bill Krozby, and I hope the next degenerate scum bag you take home from a bar at 3 am rapes you too. What the fuck did you expect anyway? Did he some how trick you in to thinking he was a good person that WOULDN'T rape you? Talk to him for five minutes and it's plainly clear he is a degenerate. You get off on scummy guys though and never thought you would ever be in any actual danger, so you kept slumming it over and over till finally you lost that gamble. And you still weren't in any danger or actually harmed. The hole you have that was made for fucking was fucked, and you cry because you were raised to think you can behave any way you want and not be responsible for the consequences of your actions.
Fucking kill yourself whore, or keep on picking up scumbags like me and Bill Krozby till someone finally punches your fuckin time clock for you, you fat ugly cat lady piece of shit.

2018-03-14 at 10:40 PM UTC in The Retardest Thread: Fashionably Late Edition.In my mind, that is sound reasoning and very characteristic of Enter. But when I said "substantiate" I meant something more in the domain of screenshots and other evidence. I think you know what I'm going to say next.

Originally posted by Fox Paws Me and enter go way back, why wouldn’t he tell me.
Before all this happened he literally sent me a PM titled “This is autistic as fuck but I have to brag to someone about this”.
Okay, suppose that I do believe you - I'm not the only one you would have to convince. This is obviously a bold claim, and I think you'll want to substantiate it for the rest of the community. -

On the one hand, I can absolutely believe that Enter is capable of this; on the other, I can see why he wouldn't be able to resist letting someone in on the joke to see him prevail, but I don't think he would tell you. -

Originally posted by HTS 2, maybe 3 if I'm being generous. I look like shit and I'm ashamed to be seen in public.
I think you were a 4 or 5 before, but now you're more like a 6. Most people don't make this big of a jump in adulthood, so I imagine this score will continue to rise as you undergo further therapy.
