  • I guess it could be, if you’re experimenting with it recreationally, and your dealer is selling both? That path is easily avoided by just legalizing weed, though.

    If you’re looking for drugs because your doctor prescribed buckets of oxy for your back pain, only to then pull the rug and expect you to quit cold turkey, you’re going straight to opiates.




  • My life has been pretty trauma free, but even I sometimes benefit from trigger warnings. Sometimes you’re just not in the mood for certain themes.

    I was once on a long flight to attend the funeral of a close friend, and was watching a movie on the flight. I didn’t know there’d be a funeral scene, and that hit way harder in the state of mind I was in at the time. I don’t regret watching the movie, but it did give me a glimpse of how triggers work, in a form probably much milder than how people with real trauma would experience it.

    In general I often find that accommodations for people with special needs often also benefit the general population. Accessible web design is often more pleasant to use in my experience, and probably easier for search engines also.





  • I’m pretty sure Obama was not happy about getting that prize. He won it before he was even sworn in due to having such a unifying campaign or some BS, and both he and everyone else knew he hadn’t done anything to deserve it yet.

    I’m personally convinced that Thorbjørn Jagland, head of the committee at the time, was just smitten by Obama’s campaign and got him the prize so he’d be able to meet him.

    Still less BS than FIFA giving Trump a fake one, though.
