I went on Vyvanse, a slow release amphetamine, and 2 weeks later had a heart attack. I’m pretty sure it was related because I’d taken dexies about 10 years before and stopped after a month due to chest pains, and also the first day I was on Vyvanse I got chest pains again, but the doctor said it was fine so I kept taking them.

I genuinely do think it’s a great way to bring people together and give people a sense of common purpose, like a rallying cry or something. Sure the symbol might not be perfect, but it’s better than nothing!

I agree with your sentiment, but calling people morons isn’t going to win anybody over to your side

I would but I don’t have a youtube account

I know a lot of homeless people where I’m from suffer from mental illness and drug addiction, and a small subset of them are probably violent. I’m not sure how that makes them unworthy of help though? But regardless of empathy and compassion, wouldn’t society be better off if we provided mental health care and helped them get over their addiction? They could even become functioning members of society!

My gf just went though the same thing last week, sounds fucking awful. She just drinks / smokes weed, so not much I can say to help, sorry!

Maybe, but chances are it’ll get taken down in the next few days

Imagine what people would be saying if he kissed his husband instead of wife. Something like, “He’s shoving it all in our faces!” or “No straight couple would ever do that in such a public event! Why can’t they show some decorum!”

Oh dang, that’s $32 AUD! Bit out of my price range!

Have you ever tried listening to hardcore history by Dan Carlin? I find he’s the right level of captivating to keep me interested, but slow enough that I can still drift off to sleep

My suggestion is to spend maybe half an hour in the evening learninga new hobby/skill, then when you’re in bed go over what you learnt in that half hour in your mind to cement it. You’ll find that just running over the knowledge in your mind induces the “counting sheep” effect and will help you drift off to sleep.

If it doesn’t work, then at least you’ll learn a new skill much quicker!

Frugal Usenet works great for me

And carpel in the middle there

They don’t have to tell you the truth. It could have been to test whether being told that it’s “men vs women” affects the readings test subjects provide

Yeah same, its been almost 10 years for me. I briefly tried other options like brave, but kept coming back to Firefox

I’ll take her, it’s freezing cold where I live now

I agree that the pile-on wasn’t necessary, people tend to just give their kneejerk response and then move on. Having said that, you probably could have explained your case a bit better too in the original post.

Food is a non-toxic, organic substance that provides nutrition in the form of carbohydrates, protein, fibre, fats/oils, and/or vitamins and minerals. Sure there are some edge cases which you can argue the point in, such as a lump of rock salt maybe, but for the most part it is something which provides sustenance. Sure you could eat mud or plaster and it won’t kill you, but it won’t help keep you alive either, so its not food.

I’m with you bro, although we don’t need to mine the moon or asteroids, the tunnels can be airtight enough with reinforced concrete. They’ve already made multiple sustainable concrete formulas, and I think 150 years is plenty of time to assume these will be mass adopted. If fusion has becomea thing and we have an abundance of energy then the costs of such an enormous project will also become more feasible.

idgi, who is that?
