Who's Steve Jobs?
Steven Paul Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American businessman, inventor, and investor best known for co-founding the technology company Apple Inc. Jobs was also the founder of NeXT and chairman and majority shareholder of Pixar. He was a pioneer of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with his early business partner and fellow Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
Jobs was born in San Francisco in 1955 and adopted shortly afterwards. He attended Reed College in 1972 before withdrawing that same year. In 1974, he traveled through India, seeking enlightenment before later studying Zen Buddhism. He and Wozniak co-founded Apple in 1976 to further develop and sell Wozniak's Apple I personal computer. Together, the duo gained fame and wealth a year later with production and sale of the Apple II, one of the first highly successful mass-produced microcomputers.
Jobs saw the commercial potential of the Xerox Alto in 1979, which was mouse-driven and had a graphical user interface (GUI). This led to the development of the largely unsuccessful Apple Lisa in 1983, followed by the breakthrough Macintosh in 1984, the first mass-produced computer with a GUI. The Macintosh launched the desktop publishing industry in 1985 (for example, the Aldus Pagemaker) with the addition of the Apple LaserWriter, the first laser printer to feature vector graphics and PostScript.
I think he was asking about the homeless dude from Austin with the ironic last name from the 1940s.
There has always been a cure but people aren't all sure about ligma.
Shove it right up my eyeballs!
I want it in my dick hole
....for SCIENCE!
Why don't they just prescribe this instead of stuff that doesn't help and also breaks your penis? 😬
Dopamine does a lot of things. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
So taking this would be all side effects and no benefits

So it's basically the same as Prozac? 😩
I realize this isn't serious but holy shit Prozac might have saved my life. Well, technically Prizma which is the same stuff. I went through so many unsuccessful depression treatments, Prizma is the only one that seems to be sticking. Sometimes the old stuff is just the best.
Worth noting that all treatments were in conjunction with psychotherapy, I don't think pills alone would have helped. And I also tried going without medication at all for a while, it wasn't good either. Prizma really is the only thing that works for me.
Edit: apparently the Prizma brand might only be sold in my country, but as I said it's just a different brand of Prozac.
You say the old stuff but fluoxetine was released in 1986 and citalopram in 1989 - before that you were boned. A few antidepressants existed and they were even worse than what we have today.
Just inject it straight into your brain
I'm going to try it.
Edit: smmmfrrrr grreendch ferrrmenspolendllllllllll
This made me laugh way more than it should have rofl
Maybe they can offer a two for one deal with lobotomy?
They remove the "problematic" part and install a new, dopamine rich part.
I might be misremembering, but AFAIK, dopamine can't cross the blood-brain-barrier, so even where you want to regulate dopamine (and not, e.g. serotonin like more commonly for depression) in the brain, you have to do so via different medication (e.g. amphetamine derivatives for ADHD or dopamine agonists for Parkinson's).
Just inject it directly into the brain smh
Gimme
sigma balls
Damn you beat me to it
What's ligma, brother?
Overpriced dophamine
I have no idea what that middle warning symbol is trying to convey. Raises undead fish from their graves? Makes you throw fish at your neighbor's driveway? Will cause flooding across the entire state of Virginia?
Deadly/dangerous to the environment. It's supposed to be a dead tree and fish next to a river/water body.

As a non-chemistry person, I assume the red diamonds are to ensure I don't put this in my mouth?
The first is a standard warning symbol, telling you to read the warnings.
The middle looks to imply that it's harmful to aquatic life; so no flushing, (upside-down fish and a piece of coral)
Third one seems to be dosage frequency, but saying a symbol isn't available. (QHS = taken every night)
To translate the sibling, the third one is where it would tell you how dangerous the substance is for you. But it's keeping its secrets.
The third one is "no GHS symbol", GHS being the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
