Stop when you feel better

Unless you’re allergic, in which case remind them.

I’ve been prescribed meds I’m allergic to way too often.

Then tag every fighting game with sadomasochism

My university had extremely biased teachings. Never once did they present me with alternative physics. And in the humanities they made me stay on topic and provide well reasoned evidence for whatever position I took.

Wait is cobalt a nutrient?

Looks like the bone weakness comes from the calcium being pulled from the bones into the bloodstream. I would suspect that ODing on Ca wouldn’t cause that symptom

It’s an old timey word, not brain rot

This is why you get a pill organizer. That and so you can check if you took your meds that day.

Also prevents the “accidentally took amphetamines with my night time meds” which while rare is worse than the “took them twice this morning”

Damn china really isn’t beating the “less cool than Vietnam” accusations

Test your drugs. Both a fent test and a test for what you think you bought.

Back in the day nobody was slipping oxy into led. Hell, barely anyone was slipping lsd into lsd.

Comparatively though…

I think 14 year old me would be most disappointed that I’m no longer catholic. She’d probably be a mix of angry and excited that I’m trans. Shocked and confused when I explain to her that her parents’ marriage is really really bad and she’s going to need therapy for the way her dad treats her. Then she’s going to be kinda pissed when I tell her that her dad is right about her needing to do better in school, it’s just that he shouldn’t be yelling at her until she self harms about it. She’ll be proud I’m still friends with her friends and that I got out of Ohio to somewhere cool.

Oh then she’s going to be incredibly disappointed I married someone with tattoos, especially since I’ll call her a classist little shit about it.

Yeah a lot of bi people feel that way. I lose all horniness when I smell “man smell”. And I can say it’s absolutely about that because the incident was with someone who had just stopped testosterone and after a few weeks we were sleeping together a few times a week for months.

Personality is nice for me, but it’s body shape and feel and smell that do it for me, and it all points to women for me.

Nah it’s public opinion. People don’t want to change. The costs are annoying, but we can budget for them. We tried to metricate at the same time as Canada. They had less money per person than us but succeeded because they didn’t have a large mass of people unwilling to learn and change.

Ah yes, the “acid and meditation will fix all my problems” instead of “acid and meditation will sit me down and force me to confront some of my problems”. Such a simple mistake but so many make it

Full agreement. I think another reason the debate bro caught on was that it makes for better content, even before the modern content economy.

Back in the day when the archetypal internet debates were atheists and science educators vs creationists, you could see it just as effectively. Nobody wanted to watch someone on their side go in with an open mind, open to being convinced and for both sides to come to a position entirely based on the evidence. Hell, I still don’t like that because one side has reproducible evidence and the other failed to indoctrinate me as a teenager.

A lot of modern bad faith debate tactics come back to creationists, with the infamous Gish gallop named after a creationist. And from there the opposition had to learn to play the game. Debate, not as a neutral shared pursuit of truth, the clash of thesis, antithesis, and evidence to distill an agreeable and defensible synthesis, but rather as a verbal gladiatorial contest.

The pro evolution side split with the death of new atheism, they’re on all sides now. A lot of the more committed debaters went right for varied reasons, and we wound up in a position where we needed stuff like the alt right playbook to teach how to argue against the dishonest.

And on the other side of the equation you have the internet rationalist movement, who are infamously bad at the “this sounds like bullshit” test among other flaws. They strive to accept any debate with an open mind, and find themselves a good example of why you need to keep some biases that while you’re open to changing, you’re gonna need strong evidence for.

Yeah tbh I think that’s a good next step for metrication. Currently it’s all in US customary until college with a brief lesson on metric every few years. With some high school teachers doing a bit more in metric. If you swap it these people will just instinctively use and understand metric.

Yep! It’s very similar because I didn’t really understand the difference between my anxiety and executive dysfunction when I was a teenager figuring out how to cope with them both.

Good luck!

Oh well then, please feel free to take some stuff before burning it as compensation for your troubles.

Chimerism is weird and it can do really weird shit to your body
