"I am sorry, I should not have called you an idiot. That wasn't nice. You are a moron."

Unbelievable.
I use Vyvanse casually and when it’s active in my system I go from a very timid and shy person to a public speaker.
I’ve been working on my anxiety separately, but even at its worst I could pop one pill and it would disappear. I could go up to strangers and talk to them about anything, or I could stand up in the middle of a mall and call for everyone’s attention.
It was very cathartic as someone who has suffered from anxiety (at least) for a long time. Some of that feeling lasts for a while too. I regret not trying medication to fix some of my mental health issues before and I’d love to be on a prescription right now. I really think taking it consistently could change my life.
From personal experience, they make you feel like you're on top of the world. You can get so much done. Although obviously in some people they just help you focus a normal amount.
Someone who's funds are probably locked up right now posted an interview that the Synapse founder did, saying that doing podcasts "in the middle of the lunacy" is absolutely insane.
Founder replies "this was BEFORE the deal fell apart, you are such an absolute idiot" to that...
Although, that customer is right it's insane to be going on podcasts and Greek weddings when you have thousands of customers out millions of $...
Then in the podcast, this founder doesn't even take any responsibility! He's saying it's some investors fault! That he had a $100m term sheet, where he was going to use investor capital to buy a bank charter and that's how his company was going to work. (nvm that it's purely self-interested, you have a $0 company right now, but you'd sure like 20% of a $200m company with $100m in the bank instead) Like, you already burned $50m of investors money with nothing but peoples frozen accounts to show for it, and you're surprised when they don't want to throw another $100m?
If you can’t get basic facts correct no one is going to take your other claims seriously. A16Z has a diverse portfolio of investments and are as famous as they are because of how successful their companies have been.
They were apparently bad at keeping track of their money, with "tens of millions of dollars are unaccounted for," despite some "partners of its venture backers such as Andreessen Horowitz" having allegedly been "aware of such discrepancies" [2].
