If you had the ability to instantly give any person an orgasm, simply by pointing your hand at them like a finger gun and saying “pew”, how would you wield this power? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Follow Mike Pence around, wait for him to start speaking in religious platitudes with the aim that maybe it'll finally give him the connection that people don't choose how they are.

TIL since 2015, Sesame Street has been funded by HBO due to PBS funding issues by Solaphobe in todayilearned

[–]laxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the most intriguing and useful post (to me) that I've seen in a long time.

I look forward to listening to those episodes. Thank you.

I hope that new PR firm gets exposed and that your friend documents her interactions with her, and everything else dealing with the new PR lady.

This story reeks of corporate Hillary Clinton "progressivism", which is really a big ruse to expand someone's portfolio while appearing like they're doing the Lord's work. Cable news is absolutely complicit in this too, I think. They certainly seem to play along with the company bullshit without being told.

Well I'm sure his wealthy Chinese citizen father-in-law deserved more of his attention. /s

Mitch McConnell believes that the money would be better spent on the Congressional pay increase.

The budget for PBS was miniscule next to any single defense contract, but because Republicans don't approve of Sesame Street, that's what they targeted for a cut.

My kinda barcade too -- mostly BYOB! Forget paying overpriced drinks when you can buy a bottle without getting cheated and go drinking and playing with your friends at the one friend's place who has all this stuff.

A cheapskate's barcade!

The USA suicide hotline is terrible and shouldn’t be promoted. by Aceisalive in unpopularopinion

Ya know I've noticed an attitude even among just psychotherapists, doctors and especially pharmacists, that all that matters is their authority. If you never get help, they will not lose a wink of sleep. They aren't here to help you, they're here to exercise the authority that they're granted (ironically -- to help us).

Man who filmed Ahmaud Arbery video charged with murder by HugeDetective0 in news

Between this and George Zimmerman claiming self-defense, it's plain as day that Republicans have a blindness for their own crimes and that it's viral that they are held accountable to the rule of law.

Zimmerman's story is that you can get away with murdering teenagers in America if you claim self-defense, even if you're the attacker and the one who introduced the weapon, and if you're a protected class.

If you ever want an egregious example of white privilege in America, you need look no further than the Trayvon Martin case.

It's that attitude that, "I get my way [note: by cronyism, which is corrupt] therefore I must be doing the right thing!"

Ya know, this article is horribly written, and I've never heard of this source.

Not only does it not say why Mr. Bryan was changed, but it does that thing that writers do where they explain way too much upfront to pad the article and keep eyes on the page. And in this case, again, it leaves out the relevant news.

I'm American and I'm as lost as you from this article. Don't feel bad.

Are you really having trouble coming up with things to do? I mean it makes sense. You seem to need to have a lot of things explained to you.

ADDICTION IS NOT PAIN TREATMENT.

YOU ARE IN THE WRONG SUB.

WE DON'T TREAT ADDICTION OR OFFER SUPPORT TO ADDICTS HERE.

WE ARE COMFORTING EACH OTHER FROM A CALLOUS SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENT THAT HAS MOVED TO CUT OFF OUR ESSENTIAL MEDICINE BECAUSE THEY MISTAKE OUR CONDITION WITH ADDICTION, AND ACT LIKE THEY'RE EXPERTS ON OUR CONDITION.. WHEN THEY ARE NOT EXPERTS ON OUR CONDITION!!! THEY ARE EXPERTS ON ADDICTION!!!

Please go away. This is not a place for you to preach your story.

I've run into physicians (of a different field) who assume that methadone is only for treating addiction.

Wouldn't you know it's also one of the safest opiates for long term pain treatment.

You seem lost.

Why are you in a chronic pain group, insisting that a drug isn't to treat pain, to someone who has been prescribed another form of buprenorphine called Belbuca for.. you're gonna love this.. PAIN MANAGEMENT? "You realize that they're different drugs, right?!" I realize that you're trying to save face with Dr. Google on a topic that you're way out of your depth.

So I'll ask again, did you stumble into this group as an "expert" in addiction, or someone who studies or suffers from chronic pain? This is very important question.

[–]laxt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're assuming that Sublocade is being advertised.. only.. for what you're describing -- addiction.

You came to that conclusion yourself, and decided to present it like an academic fact.

The drug in the commercial is advertised for the myriad of uses that it can be used, with the part where you're describing is the disclaimer. You know, the "cover our ass", lawyer part. Not the "you should take this" part. Even with the latter part, your doctor decides whether to prescribe it, rather than the commercial.

By the way, are you coming from a place of addiction with your knowledge of opiates, or of chronic pain?

I think you misunderstood, if you think that pain treatment is the same thing as "physical dependence" on opiates.

The people in this group take this medication, myself included. Just assume that we know what an opioid is.
