This was just a normal Shadowrun session.

Drive thrus make it easier for the disabled who are able to drive.

Not just freely available but also immediately available and available together. Reading through the Dutch articles, that seems to be one of her family’s frustrations. 

I’m someone who often suffers from suicidal ideations, and I’ve had some hardships in my life that have made this worse...

So many people are outraged either way and that is interesting to me. For some reason people think that other humans lives are their domain.

This is the same “liberal media” we’re always being warned is turning kids transgender, making being trans a trend. Realistically, there are still huge emotional and societal hurdles to transition. Bigots like TERFs and right-wing nutjobs get as much mainstream attention as people who are literally just trying to…

In my lifetime I have had two knee surgeries, hernia surgery, and a tonsillectomy at age 32 (which I recommend NOT putting on your bucket list). The tonsillectomy happened in the early ‘90s when the nation was still on the “Say no to drugs” thing. My doctor, a Harvard med school grad, could only give me children’s…

Didn’t this article already get posted, maybe a month ago? Anyways, I’ll say here what I did there: This is awful. But! Before any Americans start patting ourselves on the back, take a gander at this map:

What a devastating story.

How about adding a bit at the bottom with info for the suicide lifeline?

You’re not interesting because you jerked off in front of women for decades. Why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting. You didn’t get your career ruined by a vindictive creep. You spent 20 years harassing your colleagues and threatening them with retaliation and now I gotta…

Wow. There’s a difference between edgy comedy and just being a dick. At least be funny if you’re going to be an asshole, I thought this had been established since Lenny Bruce and George Carlin. 

Because every time another article comes out about taking opiates irresponsibly, or overdosing cause you took them recreationally, it makes good people out there think there ‘s no reason for ANYONE not dying of cancer or in palliative care to take them!!!! There are so many of us, the chronic pain sufferers that for…

If parents were more conscientious about keeping their drugs inaccessable to their children, we wouldn’t be seeing so many accidental overdoses among kids. This hike in drug deaths is just one more thing to throw on the Opioid Crisis fire that will end up making it harder for people suffering from severe, intractable,…

When I first heard this story reported I immediately thought, oh no, more sensationalism to justify the war on pain patients. Now I am a bit more on the fence but I must agree that homes with children must be responsible for keeping ALL dangerous items, guns, pills, Drano, unstable animals away from their children. If…

This isn’t a popular opinion, but it’s an opinion based on being a former heroin addict, and also a chronic pain sufferer. There has absolutely been a huge over prescription problem and drug companies down playing the addiction potential, which have contributed to the crisis. However the way we have been dealing with…

Because many people suffering from chronic pain are no longer able to get their meds and are left to suffer... and many of these deaths are not from prescriptions, but fake pills, heroin, fentanyl, etc...I didn't see anyone minimizing any child's death

It IS about us. My pain doctor is 72 years old and can’t retire because he is still willing to consider using opiates when appropriate. He was telling me he got a new patient last week - an 82 year old woman with rheumatoid arthritis who has taken 2 Percocet a day for 22 years. Her doctor dropped her, saying he…

If you’re saying that you are compliant (taking your meds only as prescribed), I would 100% agree with you. I do the same thing.

All of this ignores people with chronic pain syndromes. I have Fibromyalgia, arthritis so bad in my right ankle that it is permanently swollen, hip impingement in both hips (will need hip replacements eventually), costochondritis.....and I’ve tried nearly every anti inflammatory and none have worked. I have no choice…

I hope you and your family are able to stay away from them... but please understands that for some of us, it isn’t that easy, and it isn’t always a choice. For cancer patients, hospice patients, and those living with chronic pain conditions (like myself), well controlled opioids can make the difference between…
