Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It’s called speed. It’s been shown to improve cognitive abilities, whether you “need” it or not. Life cheat code
Edit: I should have just said amphetamines, not speed (which also includes meth), my bad!
Tweakers are well know to be geniuses.
Have you watched Breaking Bad?
Meth =/= speed although they are similar
Edit to clarify: all meth is speed; not all speed is meth. Any variety of amphetamine can be referred to as speed, but saying adderall is meth would not be correct. So I’m wrong here. My bad guys!
Speed is literally a street name for methamphetamine.
Historically it meant amphetamines, but it can apply to both now. Street language isn't exactly set in stone.
I always have called amphetamines (adderall, dex, Ritalin, etc) speed. Meth is crank. Just google “speed drug” the first thing that pops up is amphetamines
They are very similar though
I’m not too concerned about what you call them.
lol that’s great man. I was referring to amphetamines, not methamphetamine. Again, similar, not the same thing. I’m sorry we have different street names for our drugs lmao
I’m talking about the common street names, you are taking about what you call it.
I am also talking about the most common street name for amphetamines, speed. Just google “speed drug” and tell me what pops up. It’s not meth….
I actually stopped taking it a couple years ago! But it certainly stopped being as useful as it once was so I think I’m better off. Thank you for your concern kind stranger!
