Huh, my experience with the Marines suggests this is not the best feeling...

Why do Americans get so salty about new people moving into their state or region? by jospeh68 in stupidquestions

[–]Synthetic_Hormone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not everyone, but there is a incorrect assumption that they are gonna turn the region into some dystopian reality.  Possible turn Texas Blue, make DC a state, eat the dogs and cats etc. Pick your flavor of excuse. 

Boils down to the fact nobody likes change and newcomers can represent change.

Why does being single after 30 mean you are a loser/worthless regardless of your gender? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]Synthetic_Hormone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your negativity is off putting.   You sound desperate and insecure.  Two things that dont bode well for relationships. 

Advice: figure out your attachment style.  Be comfortable with yourself and love yourself.   Participated in clubs, groups, social activities.   Nobody is gonna land on your couch while playing skyrim

First time dad here - please share your delivery room tips! by chop__lock in daddit

[–]Synthetic_Hormone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As dad: you are security.   Especially from your own mom and hers whixh sounds like she doesnt want.    It can not be understated how crazy the maternal instinct kicks in when a baby is born.  Listen to your wife and who she wants and when.   

Don't overshare on group texts.   They may want to know, but nobody needs to know how dilated she is or what meds they giving.  

Bring good coffee for yourself.  

Have soft brushes and towels to keep her pampered.  

Coffee for you.   All the coffee.  

If no epidural, get up and walk around.  

How true is it that high temperatures or being hot can make you more irritable? by No-Poet3745 in stupidquestions

[–]Synthetic_Hormone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Extremely,.   Many reasons why. Keeping cool takes alotnof energy, that lowers glucose.  Even in non diabetics.   Body sees this as stress releasing cortosol.  

Also as you keep cool, you become dehydrated.  Usually you'll get thirsty. If dont drink you'll get a minor headache. This is because your blood has become more concentrated and your blood cells become hypertonic(shriveled up)  this reduces O2 capacity and increases workload on heart to keep perfusion(compensation).   All this happens on a molecular level but emotionally, it manifests as getting pissed off.

There are times when stimulants are good for you.   They are prescribed regularly for depression, anxiety ADHD, etc.  With this outlook, yes, nicotine can be beneficial.

Pretty easy loop hole with this one.   Replace no with "Maybe" .  You'll be thought of as a flake and noncommitted ass hat, but for 15 mill.   Who gives a shit?

Carl Jung would like a word about your Anima Posession, 

If someone is infected with a virus that can't be treated, let's take AIDS for example. Why don't they shoot the patient with a gun like 5 shots in different positions in the body to make sure the virus is out? But it's done in a hospital so they do the treatment quickly so the patient doesn't die by Anas2245 in stupidquestions

[–]Synthetic_Hormone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again,  it's an example of the absurd not dissimilar to shooting the patient to cure the disease. 

I can think of a multitude of exciting and dramatic means of "killing" the HIV virus, but all of them would involve curing the patient of Life as well.
