    No doubt. I’ve gotten to the point where I have like 6 apps on my phone and it’s in lockdown mode on iOS. And I’d be on grapheneOS if I wasn’t required to use iOS for work.

      Can you have your job pay for an iPhone while you have a different personal phone? I’m a big fan of keeping a work device that’s separate from a personal device.

        I probably could, but I’m also a recovering drug addict and my partner is pretty hesitant about a second device as it’s another way to hide things. However I’m the head of the MDM team so I’m not really nervous about what the company can see

          I thought you were head of the MDMA team for a second and thought that could be rough as a recovering drug addict

              Oddly I’ve only tried MDMA a few times and it never really worked. There’s some anecdotal evidence that it doesn’t work for those with bipolar which I do have, that might be the one drug I could be in charge of with no temptation actually

                MDMA doesn’t work for me, nor does cocaine. What does that say about me? I don’t care to be honest… but the pro is, I will never get addicted to either of those, which is nice, I suppose. Anyway, what were we taking about?

                  Hey, just in case you haven’t heard this before - maybe book an ADD/ADHD test if some of the indicators resonate with you.

                  I have a diagnosed friend who also said the same thing about stimulants not having the expected effect. It’s apparently common for drugs like cocaine and MDMA in people with ADHD.

                    Thanks, very nice of you to send me these links. The thing is for me, I refuse to see my ADHD tendencies (never officially diagnosed, but pretty sure) as any kind of illness or shortcoming at all. It’s just the way I am. Fortunately I have the luck to live a life where it doesn’t affect me negatively, so I don’t see a reason to question it.

                    The links talk about cocaine having a calming affect instead of a stimulating one. That’s funny, because I’m not even sure if it has an effect at all, I’m to dense to really notice any effect. To each his own.

                    By the way, i just came home from a nights out and I’m on amphetamine, which definitely has an effect I notice. It cures my anxiety and lets me feel at ease. I’d never write these posts without it. Drugs are strange…

                    I wish you the best my friend!

                    That’s true for cocaine, ice and speed (which is just a different name for Adderall), which act on the dopamine receptor. But MDMA works by releasing serotonin, so it’s not affected by ADHD

                I love how “being in charge of drugs” is being talked about like it’s an actual job within a company lol

                  I mean someone’s gotta be in charge of MDMA, and or Ketamine at those therapy places. I do love the idea of someone coming to my desk for 1 drug please
