Insanity.

Well, this is TET.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I don't see the difference. Adderal is an amphetamine just because your doctor gave it to you doesn't mean its the best thing for you. A little alcohol won't kill you.

I don't want to risk it.

That makes sense. Ecstasy, aka MDMA has a similar effect on people, due to it increasing dopamine levels. Dopamine is the brain's happy chemical.

I hope to also get medicated when I get around to filling in the damn forms. Such irony.

MDMA unfortunately tends to turn you into a social butterfly with your floor, however.

I'm afraid I would have to strongly disagree with this. You may be perfectly capable of managing the two. Perhaps I would, also, but that would be us, not Liberonscien. Mixing alcohol and drugs is a risky endeavour as it is. It's my health I risk if I choose to do it. I'd never recommend someone else to.

Too much dopamine would do that to a person, yes. I'd settle for a small regular dose.

I don't want to be molesting my carpet.

If I don't take it I annoy pretty much everyone I come in contact with until my body goes through withdrawal. After withdrawal I can't focus on anything. ADD and Aspergers is a fun combination.

This^ is why I refuse alcohol every time someone tries to give me some. I have no idea what would happen.

I did a bit of French and German in high school. Honestly I'm having an easier time with Chinese.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman
