Adderall works on some kind of amphetamine. That‘s prescribed much more often in the states. In EU land I‘ve never seen the hard stuff.
Edit: Elvance apparently has Amphetamin in it as well and I‘ve seen it in the wild here too.

Writing this from an iPhone 8 (no sec updates anymore) and I am not feeling good about it…

Working on my university degree. I failed my first one and now I got myself into a critical situation again. Started using Anki. I often put in the hard work of thoroughly understanding a subject but don’t profit off it because I don’t keep the understanding after that. I am working on improving that.

„Top“ in the sense that a lot of people watch them. Please don’t take seriously what they say. Luise Rossman did an excellent video on marques apple propaganda.

Follow-up:
I did buy the laptop and I did ask him. And I feel kind of bad about it. I tried to communicate as good as I could in the situation about why I‘m asking but we had a bit of a language barrier. I think he got where I‘m coming from, but didn‘t really understand my worries.
He claimed that the laptop was bought ‚here‘ and never went to China. He then showed me a bunch of other things that were bought there and how this is not a problem. Well…
Nevertheless, I wanted a Thinkpad for a long time and think I got a good deal. For those interested: T470S (2017) i7 16RAM 500SSD 350€

Thanks for your reply. Somewhat a different topic, but do you think it would be ok for me to ask him? He has a Chinese family Name and has heritage there.
