I wish motherly empathy/instincts could be weaponized. These fuckers would BURN.

Least surprising news ever. Nothing like living up to our exceptions you filthy whale shits.

I guess you didn't read my answer fully. I absolutely do advocate a minimum income, just in the form of welfare payments - not a minimum wage (that's actually better too, a minimum wage means nothing if employees only get scheduled to work part-time 10 hours a week, whereas welfare payments can ensure workers actually…

I agree with most of what you said - except the poor being taxed at the same rate as the rich via sales tax. That's not true, and you know it. The poor end up taxed at a higher rate than the rich, because the rich fucking weasel their way out of paying taxes.

Now I wish to visit my sister in LA just so I could show this to her and annoy her on every car trip, “We can’t stop here! This is morgellons-country!”

The thing is, you CAN put someone on opioids for the rest of their life. It's just not societally acceptable. A close member of my family was a psychologist, and knew of many, many people who lived pretty normal, functional lives while totally hooked on all sorts of things.

I love it when people say psychological pain is not real. These people who suffer from this bizarre psychological disorder are no doubt in hell. It’s no less torturous than an actual physical malady.

I don’t doubt that people who’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia are experiencing physical symptoms, but every time I see a commercial for fibromyalgia specific drugs, (Lyrica, I think?) I hate our medical/pharmaceutical system even more. They want it to exist and be diagnosed purely for the revenue.

My aunt “has” Morgellons. I “had” something similar in 2010. I was obsessed with ingrown hairs, to the point that I believed I had almost twice as much hair as I actually had, but it was ‘trapped’ under the skin of my scalp and therefore I had to free it with my fingernails. I waxed all the skin off my chin because I…

Oh, jeez. As someone who has actually suffered through Lyme Disease (got bit by a tick in Connecticut, had the crazy bullseye rash and everything), I cannot stand those people.

This is exactly why I support a minimum income.

“Some were also nerve fibers: in extreme cases of delusional parasitosis, patients will dig practically to the bone in a futile effort to stop the pain.”

So let me get this straight...

I maintain this: If your median "conservative" knew who was actually responsible for the bulk of "entitlements" they hate so much in the United States, they'd never bitch about a minimum wage increase or spend unnecessary energy critiquing the grocery choices of the person with the EBT card in front of them in the…

If an animal that humanity has engineered to need us as much as we need them is in some sort of pain that can be remedied by a plant or its extracts, please and by all means make it so.

This song has more plot to it then some movies today.

I love this song. One of his best.

Warren Zevon is one of my favorites. And this is one of his best songs. His lyrics paint the most vivid pictures.
