I take Adderall as an adult, it’s in the same ballpark of Ritalin.

Yeah I got woken up by the pain that first night and I thought I had been shot. Like it felt like a flashback to whe I got wounded. I always thought people were bullshiting when they talked about the pain but fuck those things are no joke.

“I hade one of those a few months ago I thought I was going to die.”

The only time I’ve ever gone to any emergency medical care was kidney stones. I was skeptical, but then there was blood. And I figured that was as good a reason as any.

Yeah the pain was so bad I started vomiting and freaking my kid out it was not a fun few weeks.

I hade one of those a few months ago I thought I was going to die.

Just the idea makes me want to barf.

Transporting 100 ETOH patients would be a nightmare, logistically. Even if you put two per ambulance, that’s 50 separate runs. Factoring in the heat, a lot of them probably needed IV hydration, which means you need a medic and not “just” an EMT (note: I’m an EMT, don’t @ me. But at least in my state, we can’t start…

It’s varied throughout my life....where I went to college NOBODY smoked and you were looked at like a pariah. Law school in queens, decent amount of smokers. I live in queens still, and there are a lot of smokers in NYC, although I don’t drink anymore or go out to bars/nightlife stuff much so you don’t see as many…

Yeah agree. The fewer banned substances the better for exactly the reasons you lay out, but honestly, as a smoker, I think if we are going to have a 21 age limit on a substance, cigarettes would be number 1 on my list.

A lot of smokers don’t have any big regrets until the biopsy comes back showing that you have some form of cancer.

I don’t actually think they should be banned, for exactly this reason. I also think criminalizing smoking would, in practicality, become a way to further fuck with the poor and POC. But I am totally fine with raising the smoking age to 21.

I’m fine with this. Smoking is terrible, sometimes I wish cigarettes were banned outright. I smoked on and off from age 22 to 26, and many of my friends at the time were smokers. So many of them have struggled to quit for years, and regretted ever starting. I don’t know any smokers who are really happy that they’re…

Really though I think this is a human projection. I’ve had indoor only cats and indoor/outdoor cats. Indoor, outdoor, the cat is a cat and has its own preferences but indoor cats are fine with enough stimulus.

Only absurdity I see is someone comparing a human being to a dumbass cat, who are dumb. And incapable of comprehending they are in kitty jail.

“You mean I get fed, live in safety and comfort? And all I have to do is stay inside? Sign me up!”—-Garfield, 1975

you should ignore this person. most of it’s other posts indicate its a misogynistic piece of shit. it hates women.

My neighbors felt like that. Their cat got eaten by a coyote.

I both disagree (it is incredibly unsafe and damaging to the environment) and do not see how that is related to the article.
