Happy Monday fellas. I'm gonna be pretty grumpy tomorrow morning because:

- Tonight's TO-DO list is writing unit tests and getting past a blocker to my project which I have been avoiding. Unit tests cause depression.
- After a recent bout of depression, I started smoking more weed than I was comfortable with and tonight starts my temporary sobriety. Withdrawal from THC causes more depression.

Wish me some God damned luck bros.

I keep trying to convince people of amphetamine above weed, especially for a programmer but I get ignored. Did you know it doesn't make fall out your teeth at all and it was all propoganda? Source: vice. Also, consider ADHD people taking that stuff daily. It's not as bad as they teached us and slowly we're figuring that out.

@whimsical any drug can have bad effects when abused, some are more dangerous than others. That's why amphetamines get their bad rap.

Most recreational drugs today are misunderstood due to stigma. It's a tragedy, but the times will change and are slowly.

Due to my anxiety, I avoid uppers and instead prefer downers.

@AlgoRythm I never understood what anxious / anxanity exactly is. I checked a few times definition but just don't understand.

@whimsical Understandable, anxiety manifests itself in many different ways. At it's base, it's an uneasy feeling.

Different types of anxiety influence the symptoms. How uneasy do you feel? On a range from are you uncomfortable, or do you literally believe you are going to die?

Physical symptoms for me are like when you realize you messed up really bad - sweating, inability to sit still or sit at all, overwhelming sense that something terrible has or will happened.

People with anxiety also have their OWN symptoms on a spectrum. My general day-to-day anxiety is not as severe as I have described.

I don’t understand how coding on drugs is supposed to improve the code. I think of it the same way I think of driving impaired. Nobody thinks doing that improves driving. Except maybe the impaired person. Help me understand (I’ve never done any drugs and I don’t drink).

@stackodev just let crack do the talking qr{(?<blk>(?<rec>\{([^\{\}]+|(?&rec))+\};?)+){1}}s;

you see that? _that_ is your brain on drugs. it's genius, but only if you're high on the good shit. a sober brain can hardly grasp, much less produce things like these.

also first to understand what devilspeak regex does gets special prize maybe.

@stackodev actually, uppers do enhance driving probably. But it probably depends if you're more experienced intoxicated driving or not. I personally do not recommend it. But also, if you see drugs as something worse than alcohol, know, that alcohol is probably the worst for driving ever.

@Liebranca exactly 😁

@stackodev I've never had any sort of improvement of coding while intoxicated. Well, not to the code. Quite the opposite in fact. Only to my mood.
