They don't often drop the only verb of the sentence, rendering it nonsensical.

And also is this actually a common practice? Like, would it be a normal headline to write:

"The forge workers standing up human rights"

Rather than

"The forge workers standing up for human rights" ??

No, Clearly not, as the former makes no goddamn sense. Similar to the title in question. I don't get why you're defending this poor practice tho. It doesn't even make sense for it to be a non English speaker that wrote it making a translation issue because one of the earliest things you learn in English, French, Spanish, etc is that a sentence needs a verb to function.

I'm bi and I don't know anybody with a condom fetish lmaoooo. Almost everybody is on PREP now specifically so they don't have to use condoms lol. Maybe your understanding is poisoned by the fact that you call us "the gays" and don't actually seem to interact with any lgbt people on the regular.

No. It's a sentence fragment. It makes no sense and leaves out the end of the thought

You have a poor understanding of sales tax bud

Ok, yeah, sure, but the title doesn't even make sense as a sentence.

I'm terrible at keeping track of things normally but I never lose my wallet or headphones. Seems like maybe a you problem.

This one is a CNS stimulant.

So is this

They're both linked to depression too. My point is that you need to get this idea of correlating the terms because of how they look similar out of your head. It's a result of drug abuse (addiction/overuse) and the consistent changes caused by that in brain chemistry, causing negative effects when they aren't affecting you. It's not a result of it being a depressant vs a stimulant that you're addicted to. A depressant, when not abused, relieves symptons of depression (and even when abused, often relieves them upon intake). Not going to get into how stimulant mania is likely caused mostly by lack of sleep, but you can look into it if interested.

And you're right that psychedelic abuse hasn't been linked to increased depression or anxiety... mostly because there's no research on it whatsoever. In fact, almost all of our studies on drug abuse and addictiveness are incredibly flawed in the first place. That doesn't make your anecdotal experience from a drug ward any more powerful tho, especially as it's going to self select for people with mania as they are more likely to both be committed by the state and by their family or friends, more likely to cause people to take notice and sit them down, etc.

Analogies are great when it's not medicine. Medicine is really fucking complicated tho. We can have a veritable chemical pathway and successful trials in animal testing and still end up with a result we shouldn't expect.

My point is not that CNS depressants don't cause depression from abuse, but that it's just a result of abusing drugs, not the fact that they're a depressant class drug.

Depressant isn't linked to depression tho. Get that idea out of your head completely. Like seriously go read some neuro textbooks and stop getting your pharmacology info from tiktok. Depressants depress the CNS... depression is a mental illness.

Also I've abused psychs and known a few others that did and I wouldn't call any of our our activities/side effects manic or psychotic by any means. I know one person who had a family history of schizophrenia that had negative effects like that from their abuse. But just the one. I'd be interested in scholarly articles about the subject tho since I have biased data, and apparently, yours is not, at least from what one would construe from your comment.

Abuse of any psychoactive drug on the regular leads to depression. It isn't just this concept of depressant or stimulant or even related in any way. Any stimhead can tell you all about the suicidal ideation inducing comedowns and inability to get anything done after stopping use.
