Nah, that’s a real thing. Usually your finishes its final maturing phase around 25-30. Ofcourse your brain is still developing (and deteriorating) for the rest of your life, but at that point it’s much slower.

That makes sense. It isn’t really super different from a Cincinnati style five way.

A couple of years ago my (now ex, for urelated reasons) partner got ahold of some molly. I was pretty new to drugs, but trusted her to keep me safe. We tested a small portion of it, and it came back clean. That night we took it with us to some club and did some lines in the bathroom.

Unfortunately, I was unaware that the chemicals in those test kits have expiration dates, and no one had ever explained the chocolate chip cookie effect to me. Either we just missed the chunk that had fentanyl in it, or those expired tests just weren’t accurate, but either way I ended up overdosing.

I’m told my heart stopped for about ten minutes. Fortunately for me, the boyfriend of one of the performers had narcan with him. I had collapsed in front of the bar, and woke up laying in the parking lot with a bunch of strangers crowding around me. My partner ended up bundling me into the car and driving me home. I’m pretty sure I ended up with some brain damage. Years later though, I feel like I’m pretty much recovered, fortunately.

That’s what the alcohol is for: to sanitize it.

That’s a whole fucking meal.

So, not a programmer, just a rando on Lemmy. There are racist programming languages?

Eggs existed long before chickens evolved.

You mean to tell me y’all aren’t just standing in front of a huge, industrial fan to dry off?

Turkey, sharp cheddar, pepper jack and pepperoni on toasted whole grain bread with spicy brown mustard and just enough hot sauce to add some bite.

I used to get this from my mom a lot. She always used it to shut down bringing nuance to a discussion.

I’ve had waffle bowls that were dipped in chocolate, which definitely extended the soggy doom timer by quite a lot.

Yeah, the chocolate coating is delicious, and mitigates my only real problem with cones: they get soggy when the ice cream starts to melt.

Ok, like I know you’re not trying to make the arguythay addiction is a symptom rather than an illness, but what you said would support the idea.

Why are you even here? This is a discussion forum, and you’re just staunchly refusing to engage with discussion? I’m not telling you to leave or anything. I’m just confused on what you’re even getting out of this experience.

Elaborate?

I mean, it sounds like you’re making a great argument for treating addiction like a symptom, rather than an illness, which sounds pretty reasonable to me.

There is no realizing that you’ll turn out trans, because by realizing that you are realizing that you are trans.

There are so many more eyecatching things wrong with Trump, so his age never gets brought up. Biden mostly just has his age and the Israel situation, so those are the two things you hear about the most.

My response, when my mom showed my first partner naked baby pictures was to nudge my partner and say "don’t worry, I’ll send you some more recent ones.

My mom super didn’t appreciate the joke, but she never pulled out baby pictures for future partners.

I’m horrified to ask, but what do you mean?
