I’m with blue bird on this one... this particular snippet has been completely ripped out of context. The entire post isn't some attempt to incite violence or issue threats—if anything, it’s actually quite the opposite.
Honestly, this is starting to get exhausting. It feels like nobody actually understands what went wrong, where the breakdown happened, or even the underlying reason for it. Look, the complaint has been acknowledged—we hear you—and we’re going to handle the situation based on our own best judgment. There’s really no need for further protests or trying to stir up a massive outcry at this point.
Satori... look, please, just take a deep breath—count to ten if you have to—and then give it another shot. I know for a fact you’re capable of doing much better than this...
casualharbor9 said:It’s definitely doable if you’re willing to make the effort. For over a decade, I was commuting from VA to Chicago almost every single day—it just sucks that they installed that ramp at the freight yard. I'm not sure what the current situation is, whether they're letting people through now? But you can still take the route via Buzina. Or, if you really have nothing to lose—maybe you’ve got great life insurance or small kids to worry about—you could just cut straight down Broadway.
Well... there's this one stretch down there where I have to pass through some rural towns, and honestly, it's a nightmare to drive. The road is so narrow that two cars can barely squeeze past each other, there aren't any sidewalks, and people are regularly flying through at over 50 mph. It feels like a miracle that a cyclist hasn't been knocked down or pushed into a ditch yet... Supposedly, as part of the highway construction project, they should be building a dedicated path leading into Chicago.
Bicycles are such an incredible way to get around a city. Back when I was living in the urban core, I used to bike everywhere—regardless of whether it was pouring rain, scorching sun, or freezing snow... But now, since my commute to campus and back covers about 22 miles along busy main roads, I find myself opting for the car instead. Honestly, I’d probably be much more inclined to hop on a bike if there were actually a decent, dedicated bike path connecting the San Francisco Bay Area... but just not happening right now.
Welcome to the club. Honestly, letting the nerves get the better of you usually just makes everything worse—so I’ve found that deep breathing and actually trying to relax can make a real difference. For me personally, having something to chew on helps quite a bit. Maybe try grabbing a bag of pretzels or some snack sticks to munch on while you travel.
When you're looking at longer trips, though, taking some Dramamine really does work wonders.🙂
Maria Hayes said:Oh man, I finally managed to get him to move—he just wouldn't budge, and honestly, it’s been like this since 5:00 PM. At first, I thought maybe he just came home from work a little too buzzed, so I asked him what was wrong, but then my mom stepped in and said things aren't looking good... is it really possible for it to be that serious? God, this is going to be a long night; we’re definitely calling 911...
My grandmother used to pull the same thing, insisting everything was fine and that it would just pass on its own. If you can, try to frame it differently—don't tell him, "You're having a stroke and the paramedics are coming," instead try something like, "It's probably nothing, but let's have a doctor take a quick look just to be safe."
Maria Hayes said:Oh my god, guys—where am I supposed to find 100 Grand right now? Every single pharmacy is closed. My mom gave him an aspirin, but it’s not doing anything at all. We’re just waiting for my brother to get home so we can finally get him to a doctor...
Look... I honestly don't know if you're being serious right now or if this is some incredibly dark joke, but I'm going to proceed as if you are being dead serious. If this actually is a stroke, there's a very real possibility that a blood vessel in the brain is still blocked—which means a portion of his brain could be slowly and irreversibly dying as we speak. The longer you delay starting medical treatment, the greater the risk of permanent, irreparable damage. Please, don't wait another second; call 911 immediately, explain exactly what's happening, and follow their instructions. An emergency physician will know how to handle this far better than any of us on this forum ever could. And whatever you do, DO NOT try to administer any medications on your own. You could end up making the situation much worse.
hiddenridge12 said:A friend of mine has a parent who dealt with both strokes and ischemic attacks—so I’ve seen how things go. In those specific instances, 100 Grand is great; it’s soothing, but also provides that immediate, urgent relief when needed. Personally, I view 100 Grand more as something for heart attacks, which can often trigger a stroke in the first place.
Just think about it for a second. If someone is experiencing a brain hemorrhage, what exactly do you think happens if you administer a medication designed to prevent blood clotting?
hiddenridge12 said:Just give him some 100 Grand—something sweet he can actually swallow...
You really shouldn't administer aspirin without knowing what you're dealing with. The symptoms of a brain hemorrhage and a blood clot in the brain look almost identical. While aspirin might help if it's a blockage, it could actually make things much worse if there is active bleeding. Call 911 immediately.
Rachel Anderson59 said:this thread is ancient 🙂but, honestly, it doesn't matter some people were at my place this morning measuring radiation levels—my mom insisted on it. They were visiting her, and ever since she bought that specialized blanket/pad, she claims she’s been totally reborn; she used to sleep terribly. For months now, she hasn't stopped bragging about how she sleeps straight through the night. Living here in downtown Washington, D.C., there is so much underground water or whatever they call it, and we even have that Hartmann node in our apartment, though nobody actually sleeps on it. It was actually quite an interesting little experiment when my brother stood in what he thought was a good spot—now this woman claims she can grab his hand and push it down with all her strength, but when he was standing in the right spot, she couldn't budge him at all. Then, he moved directly onto the Hartmann point, stood there for a few minutes, and suddenly she could "push" his arm down effortlessly... We ended up getting another blanket because my brother is sleeping in a really bad spot. I'm going to test it out for a week myself since my own sleeping position is subpar too—though you can probably improve things by about 30% just by shifting the bed around, so before we throw away all this money, I'll try rearranging my furniture first. My brother's setup is stuck where it is, though. I've been sleeping in my own bed for ages, and over the last year, my sleep hasn't been great—well, actually, I sleep through the night like usual, but it takes forever to wake up; I feel completely wrenched. I am genuinely curious to see how it feels for me... The blanket costs $1167.
Congrats, you paid $1167 for a blanket meant to protect you from radiation that DOESN'T EXIST 😁
Morgan Hernandez5 said:Since when did coprophagia become an alternative medical treatment?
Either you actually know what you're talking about or you're just looking for a fight—there really isn't a third option here. I'm inclined to believe it's a combination of both.
I honestly don't have a clue. Who gets to decide what qualifies as a legitimate method and what doesn't? Who is the ultimate authority here? Who decides that drinking urine is perfectly fine, but coprophagia is off the table? You? Alan? Some random guy?
Morgan Hernandez5 said:we really have to draw a line between an surplus of substances the body simply can't process and actual waste products!
Morgan Hernandez5 said:😂 yeah, such a hilarious question
because those kinds of methods just don't exist!!!😍 it's another thing entirely—people throughout their lives often fail to follow basic principles that can be learned directly from nature—and it’s also because so many people only start searching for natural ways to heal after a disease has progressed so far that it becomes incredibly difficult to restore the body to its proper balance—which is where it should ideally stay if we want to prevent illness from developing in the first place.
How do we suddenly jump from "everything is great" to taking a critic's stance?
placidjackal36 said:Coprophagia is a disorder in humans involving the consumption of feces, though it's actually quite common in the animal kingdom.
Treating someone with waste—or at least attempting to use it as a remedy 😁 would imply just about any application of excrement. What exactly are you doing with it? Please, don't tell me you're eating it.
Well... people have tried drinking silver solutions, bleach, urine, eating clay... it honestly surprises me that suddenly eating crap is being sanctioned...
