One time I ate probably way too many mushrooms and I could feel my trip going bad. So, I turned to my roommate and I said something along the lines of,
“I feel amazing but I feel like this sensation has a price and I’m about to pay it.”
To which he responded, “What are you, catholic?” And that knocked me so firmly out of my mental state that the rest of the trip was hands down the best time I ever did mushrooms.
Yeah that’s fair, those tags should part of the main post
I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought “why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,” so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It’s alright if you can’t because apparently I fuckin couldn’t either
Cutting something out of your life because you think you don’t need it any more only to realize that it was in fact working as intended and preventing a problem that will return should you stop doing this is a good experiment to run periodically with something small like dandruff shampoo, lest you start to think it would be a good idea to do this with like let’s say public health and the social safety net and vaccines
I had a liver transplant when I was 14 and like six months later I was chatting with my surgeon and he said “there’s gonna come a time, probably when you’re a teenager, where you’re gonna think, ‘I feel great, why am I still taking all this medication? I haven’t needed it in years.’ and you’re gonna want to stop taking all this medication. Guess what’s gonna happen then? You’re gonna go into rejection and your liver is gonna start failing, and you’re gonna be dying again, and we’re gonna have to find you another liver. So don’t do that.” And I said “why the fuck would anyone do that?” and he said “people are stupid.”
every once in a while when I get annoyed by a pharmacy or don’t wanna get out of bed to do my drugs I think “ugh, this is dumb, why do I do this?” and that conversation slams into me like a truck and I remember that I am, in fact, stupid
men were just built different in the 70s & 80s idk if it’s the chest hair or actors not being forced into inhumane training regimes for movies but everything was so much more lush like those are free range organic male tits not the factory shit with chemicals in it
parent-child dynamics are soooo crazy. i love you i resent you i can’t stand you i adore you i pity you. and still watching your hair get a little more grey every time i see you makes my stomach feel weird
this is so evil and morally depraved. the fact that this man was simply doing his job, got shot at, and then was left for SIX HOURS to succumb to his injuries. all the while the healthcare workers were being prevented from helping him. (update)
how is this justice? how can you still look at all of this and say this is “self defense”? that this is about “fighting hamas”. this isn’t. this was never about hamas. if it was… they wouldn’t be torturing innocent people like this. they wouldn’t prevent aid from reaching a dying man.
in fact… they wouldn’t be blocking hospitals and ambulances at all. the same thing is happening in jenin, where the sick and injured are unable to be evacuated due to restrictions by israeli occupation forces. where roads are being bulldozed and hospitals surrounded by tanks and soldiers ready to shoot at innocent people. where building are being vandalised and blown up (Al Jazeera, Mariam Barghouti). they wouldn’t graffiti walls of buildings they’ve destroyed with phrases like “we came for hummus”, nor would they make videos after destroying someone’s home, laughing at the camera while holding the victim’s photo and say: “thank you for the welcome into your home”.
