You call lists of drugs and supplements "stacks", and then you post this to HackerNews?!?

What's your point?

It's questionable. What does the FTC say about advertising these drugs?

I'm not advertising. I'm sharing supplements that may work for depression, anxiety, etc.

In what way does it make any sense at all to refer to a collection of drugs and supplements as a "stack"? You use the word stack as if it could only possibly apply to one particular type of usage, when that is manifestly not so.

Therefore you disrespect your audience in the extreme, and you expect them to spend their time on your website and figure out just what type of stack you're actually talking about.

If you want to refer to it as some sort of stack, then you need to apply appropriate modifier words to indicate what type of stack it is -- is it a web development stack, is it a continuous integration stack, or is it a drug/supplement stack? Or maybe there are even better modifier words that would more accurately describe the particular type of stack that you had in mind.

Stack = combination of supplements/nootropics/drugs that work together.

HN: where people can't convey opinions without using extreme hyperbole.

Help make HN a better place by engaging constructively, pointing out hyperbole calmly with substantive responses. Commenting with a gross generalization of the HN community as a whole (which you are choosing to participate in) does nothing to improve the discourse on HN.
