Honestly? I feel like they'd actually taste great if you tossed them into a tartar sauce or something.😁
1. Cornmeal mush and milk (they served it at 8:00 AM, and I’d spend until 11:00 just pestering them for more) 😁 but the catch was I wasn't allowed to go play 😢 2. Beets 😱 3. Liver 🤮
If anyone wants to deal with Murva, come over to my place and try transplanting him yourself. He’s a total nightmare—always buzzing around and attracting every damn pest in the neighborhood. 😠 As for the bananas dying out, it's actually happening... well, at least the most common variety is getting wiped out because of some fungal outbreak. It's a mess, kind of like how blight hits potatoes or how things go south in the Midwest. 😬
Heroin overdoses aren't nearly as common as people assume. Like I mentioned earlier, you can reverse an overdose instantly with an opioid antagonist shot. Most reported heroin deaths are actually caused by toxic adulterants or lethal combinations with alcohol or methadone. Pure overdoses are a rarity because the LD50 for someone with a high tolerance is astronomically high—medical experts can't even agree on a specific number. Back in the 1920s, some studies showed addicts taking 1,600–1,800 mg of heroin at once without any issues. That's roughly 160 to 180 times a standard recreational dose. Even for someone without a dependency, the LD50 could easily be north of 350 mg.
Better to just make those injections easier to get.
Edward Green said:HIV isn't a death sentence. Hepatitis B is curable in most cases—over 90% of the time. As for Hepatitis C, you can go 20 years without even showing symptoms.
What exactly was your point there? 🤔
Don't lecture me on vaccines... people don't die from HIV itself; they die from opportunistic infections because their immune systems are shot. Dying from Hepatitis C or kidney failure at age 40 is essentially the same thing.
Edward Green said:Great. Just explain that to someone undergoing their tenth round of chemo—tell them they might as well shove some lead between their ears now. If they actually manage to beat the cancer, their body will be so trashed anyway that living longer isn't even on the table.
Or tell someone stuck on dialysis.
Read this again:
So it basically boils down to who cares whether they're taken out by HIV and hepatitis first, or if their entire system just collapses from being completely worn out.
