C-O-C-A-I-N-E!

I guess, after an instant, all nerves responsible for pain are just vaporized by the lava so it would feel numb or like nothing at all.

I’m guessing he still feels quite dumb, though. Nothing will help that pain go away.

Well…does it matter?

Well, I’d argue that the medical professionals are not the direct cause of death of the patients and are in fact trying to help the patients survive.

This is the opposite of that.

Gorgeous pictures regardless!

Is that a different kind of flute? It’s not like one I can recognize.

There are definitely conditions and reasons to do drug holidays with medications. They are recommended, I know this.

For sure, with everything, it’s different for everyone. And everyone’s needs need to be catered.

Oh bipolar meds aren’t the same as adhd stims, totally different, you’re absolutely right.

We do take med holidays for other conditions.

Taking a holiday from stimulant adhd meds allows our body to come down to “normal” chemical levels again so that when we really need to take it, the effect from the meds is better.

Im not your doctor but maybe non-stim might work better? Or every other day dose timing with extended release formulas. There are ways to get the meds you need and live normally. No need to feel like some crazy animal for weeks on end.

Randomly have green lights on my commute so I don’t have to slow down goddamnit.

Exactly, you can’t control when it happens. So hello spawning thousands of bills at the local swimming pool.

Bigger plot twist it applies too well and you use it once and go to jail.

Amen to that

I think the trick is knowing that all of us are in it together and even the most ‘regular/typical’ of us have our demons.

Love and kindness, even a little bit to each individual, goes a long way to helping everyone.

At least it was quick.

Yeah, totally on purpose. This was a long time ago and mental health wasn’t taken as seriously as it is now. Today it would have been called PTSD and he would have gotten help had he been born 20 years later.

You know poison control hotlines? EMTs on the scene had to call them for advise. So if the local poison control center doesn’t know the answer right away, they have to call the next higher one which is like for the eastern half of the USA. They didn’t know either and had to call up to the one which was in charge of the whole country.

Poison control toxicologists move fast. They know alot and have alot of resources on hand in case they dont. I guess this was one of the first times they had ever heard of ingestion of chemicals from a fire extinguisher in the country.

By the time it got up to national level, which was only a few minutes, the guy was gone. Autopsy basically showed the dudes lung was stone. Everything down to alevoli was filled completely.

Damn right there are better ways. Must have been scary as hell for everyone.

On a serious note (tada), there was a suicide in my town with a fire extinguisher. Guy turned his lungs to stone instantly inhaling the contents.

But jazz is great.

Is Kim running low on food again? I feel I read something about a missile being fired every other week.

I only enjoy it after I’m done with it. Never before or during the workout. I still do it, just it’s pulling teeth everyday.

Still getting used to Lemmy! I’m not getting notifications about when I’m being responded to. I dunno.

The “good guy with a gun” thing is absolutely hard to swallow, I can agree with that. But you must concede that if it wasn’t true, why would the President and most politicians making gun laws have a security detail with guys that are armed with guns? Why would the police carry guns? Why do banks have security guards that carry guns?

It’s also a weird argument to say that I have a 1/100 chance of being rescued by a guy with gun Vs being killed.

So the answer to defending yourself or others from the guy with the knife is what? Wait for someone else, like Uvalde? Be a meat shield? Even if it’s 1 out of 100, I would rather not wait to be hurt.
