It sure does feel like that sometimes. Maybe to much emphasis on childhood being never over and western society viewing childhood as a period free of consequences, as if that could ever be true. As if they front load heaven for afluent people and suggest it could be permanent if only they believe in it and pay up.
But unfortunately they aren’t stupid. Self unaware people can be shockingly smart and think themselves in the right crowd through brazenly dumb logic.
The new one in my current city is also driving without a license plats to not get charged at the tolls and being able to avoid dashcams in accidents…
Saying it out loud it’s more like the rules don’t matter because of a lack of enforcement from digital systems being easily exploited.
This is very much an introverted take that only sounds like utopia to the main audience on a website like this.
Not that it didn’t have upsides I just would heavily push back on calling any part of Covid or its outcome so far close to utopia.
Yeah this feels exactly how the cycle keeps on continuing back and forth. And while the start may have been legitimate criticism to awful behaviour we have a society fed by social media saying there is no such thing, just idiots who disagree.
So, round and round we go. Pushing on the next insult to finally show those idiots we won’t take it anymore and now everyone is upset with everyone.
It takes more effort than I think anyone has the energy to, to be nice when you are hurting and angry. Especially when it’s easy to see and feel like they don’t deserve the energy.
So are you. Engage in a conversation then to avoid it and actually speak to the other person instead of over them.
My mother had to take it for a nerve condition and it fucked her up. Ruined parts of her nervous system and she required physical therapy to be able to grasp objects again.
She has now been in several car accidents since cause she goes into hazes and acts differently. I’m not sure it has good side effects other than being an incredibly strong tranquilizer and disassociative.
Lots of drugs are considered highly by their users but this one seems to have some pretty rough sides to make it sound at all positive to me.
You are replying to a thread that is literally me replying to a comment mentioning ketamine’s dangers with frequent use, saying “correct”. What was that about bias, again?
However, it _is_ effective in the short term, which makes its short term use valid. Occasional recreational use is also valid.
I’m the troll and yet you won’t engage in an actual discussion? You are moment to moment demanding that everything you have said is correct or not understanding my point and yet you are wrong about so much, but won’t engage to find out so.
You are acting with blatant superiority and pedantry on each individual word I say. You don’t respond as if it’s a conversation just a stomping ground for your ego.
Look at how you communicate and how you process to act like a singular source of truth in this world. It’s appalling and yet you act as if it’s correct because you are the one doing it.
Yes, slaver y and lots of things would later go on to be considered a bad method for accomplishing goals. That is my point on overly relying on drugs when especially there is already evidence as with Ketamine that it’s damaging to the body.
Insulin shock was a way of treating psychosis and so was giving people malaria to give them a fever strong enough to damage the brain. You don’t understand the points being made so you act like you are better informed when you respond with nonsense. Look at all your own smarmy interjections as if they validate you more.
You aren’t as informed as you think you are and you aren’t solo in deciding what is good in this world. Other people can have opinions and knowledge you don’t.
My mother took ketamine on a medical prescription and it ruined her body. She had to get physical therapy to use her hands again to be able to pick up objects.
Stop being a jerk that thinks they are superior and swaps to whatever opinion let’s them talk down to others.
You may have changed your mind but you clearly haven’t stopped being rude and dismissive of others.
I don’t care about who you were and it’s unnecessary in this conversation you bring it up as a shield to deflect that you are being a jerk here and now.
Well that was awful.
A lobotomy was a recognized and approved medical procedure. Within a few years in the late 1940s 10s of thousands of procedures were done.
The person who discovered the procedure won a Nobel prize for Medicine for how it helped people with psychosis.
How is it not related?
Because this is a chemical that alters brain chemistry instead?
Would you prefer I state electroshock therapy? Insulin shock? Malarial?
Those last 2 are using compounds instead of physical means.
My point stands that just because it is used in the medical field does not being and end the argument of safety and efficiency. Opiods are considered safe until you have to stop taking them and now we are pushing against the prescription and use of them.
You clearly have a specific predetermined opinion on the matter that makes you insulary from having to accept that their are differing opinions on the matter.
Your threat to my appearance does not diminsh my statement it just proves your bias.
Being open towards the use of drugs does not mean they are free of criticism and should not be used sparingly as the world may yet change on its opionion of the costs of their use yet.
This is not to say people can not take what helps but helping is not always good or an answer long term.
Lobotomies also are effective in the short and long term for stopping suicide.
I think it’s perfectly fine to push back on drugs and procedures when we are currently only in the present to excuse it away as effective enough to get the outcomes we want.
It does not mean they are safe or should be promoted.
If it’s legitimately harming brain chemistry and has a similar effect to long term brain damage why is it OK other than because it accomplished a goal of getting other people to mumble that they can’t kill themselves and its seen as a victory.
Cautionary discourse and open about the possible negatives are how we move forward.
Demanding only positive and happy conversation around drug use is also radical and dangerous.
Don’t pretend it’s bad faith when it’s just against your own interests and beliefs.
You are weirdly petty about this and came back 15 hours later to try and get a response.
Weird.
Because they are upset that people like a movie and are blaming Disney for it.
It’s silly and ignores others feelings for personal held beliefs.
I liked it a lot.
Felt very Lovecraft in that the idea of winning against it should never have been considered.
The horror feels visceral and the uncomfortable nature of the moment by moment is awful if you empathize with the protagonist.
I like the Fall of the House of Usher and there is no happy ending for any of those characters. They have things happen and then they die.
This was more about spectacle, no grand story just a visceral and loud one of watching a poor person be fucked by trauma.
I think it is weird that you are upset that other people like this movie and are blaming studio meddling.
People could like peanut butter sandwiches I won’t make a post saying I’m weirded out that people are eating them and that George Washington Carver must be behind it somehow.
Oh man… Are we already in WW3?
I mean I guess it won’t be called that unless it really kicks off but this is feeling again like one of those horrible slow preludes that gets roped into the syllabus.
