Does anyone here know why (it looks like) you can't get EndeavorRX without a prescription?
(It seems unlikely that its effects are so extreme in people without ADHD that it has to be regulated.)

I did see someone speculate that some kind of data will be collected
via the game and they need to avoid non-patients polluting their data.

(Liberal-politics-free, IIRC.) The Internet is not only abusable, but the way things work
online makes it hard to tell what's going on, covering issues can make them worse,
nobody should have to be immersed in hateful craziness all the time, and did we mention
that hateful crazies sometimes dislike being studied and will let you know it? Have a nice day.

I had seen so many documentaries and films on Auschwitz, but nothing really prepares you for being there.

I guess the Europeans only turn up on their nose on Americans until we're gone and they start crying. Maybe we'll get better service next year?
