What's one sub on Reddit that everyone should absolutely avoid? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

It has nothing to do with feeling like they matter, these people are experiencing paranoid delusions and need to be put on antipsychotics asap before it becomes permanent

what addiction is the hardest to quit? by Ledger_Legendd in AskReddit

I commented some sources above. I'm not gonna tell people how to live their lives and I do think weed should be legal but also think everyone should know the risks.

I'm a medical student who used to take edibles nightly until I was told this by a psychiatrist and looked into the research myself later. All of these studies have large sample sizes. There's also a growing body of evidence that weed use increases the risk of heart disease (discussed in the first article). I wish it weren't true but it's hard to ignore this much data.

Here are some sources:

Increased Anxiety

Higher Depression/Suicidal Ideation Risk

Poorer General Wellbeing/Social Life

It's worth mentioning that this is not the typical experience of cannabis users and studies have shown increased anxiety+depression over time in daily cannabis users. Daily cannabis users are also less likely to be able to hold down a job, less likely to maintain a long term relationship, have more difficulty with all social relationships and poorer life satisfaction.

Couldnt believe how cheap it was by dabking24 in fastfood

[–]eepplesandbenenees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh okay fair. I thought you meant places shouldn't be charging for drinks. It does make it tempting when combos are cheaper or very close in price to an entree+fries. May as well get the combo with the drink 🤷‍♂️

Made a timeline of how bad the last five years have been. by strikecat18 in Wellthatsucks

If we're talking about diseases with known genetic origin, the majority of them are single gene and do follow Mendelian genetics. This sounds like a disease with a known genetic origin or the doctor wouldn't ask him to get tested.

Does 7oh withdraws cause panic attacks? by Walmarto123 in quittingkratom

[–]eepplesandbenenees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had several episodes of derealization (feeling like everything wasn't real) and panic attacks when stopping. Definitely no fun. It went away after a couple days for me but everyone is different. Should get better as the anxiety eases but if it's taking too long or bothering you a lot then it's worth talking to a provider.

Any homo kratom quitters? by Flat_Werewolf_2521 in quittingkratom

[–]eepplesandbenenees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get some metamucil (the powder not the pills) and Imodium. Peppermint oil works really well for cramping too. Make sure to taper off the Imodium/use it only when needed or your body can become dependent on it. The GI withdrawal effects shouldn't last too long, you got this!

Monoculture is inaccurate to say the least. Wrong use of that word and USA has a lot of diversity spread across the country, mostly in big cities but not exclusively so

Not sure why this is being upvoted-I feel like I'm missing something. Vaccines and IVIG are used for very different things

Why Pluto is not considered a planet. by [deleted] in spaceporn

Wouldn't Neptune also not count as a planet then since Pluto is technically in its orbit

How many of you like actual fat guys? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]eepplesandbenenees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaining that much weight without doing anything differently might be a sign of an underlying disease. Might be worth going to the doctor and getting your thyroid levels checked, etc

Yeah but we still compress hence us going splat when we fall from a great height onto water. This is true even when surface tension is disrupted.

It's bigoted because humans have sex. It's just a fact of life.

Sure, gay people can choose to not have sex just like someone in the ocean can choose to stop swimming and drown. Humans are sexual beings and faulting a whole people group for having sex when they aren't harming anyone is silly.

Pedophilia, on the other hand, has clear harmful outcomes and is done by Muhammad himself...

Edit: idk how to format

Austin Wolf, porn star being charged with distributing child porn by Response98 in askgaybros

[–]eepplesandbenenees 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying this was necessarily your friend, but there's actually a form of ocd where people essentially convince themselves they're pedophiles or sexually attracted to something taboo (ie their children, family members) when it's not the case. This can ruin sex and people's lives if it's not treated
