@ZECTBynmo @a_levitator yeah, but no one's agents can remember what it is

@Squeeze1i now add the weight of the ugliest stigma, where through each layer of that social crucible you're forced to have your nose rubbed in several layers of shit, that doesn't represent who you are, over and over, ad nauseam, until your own body starts breaking down

@anishmoonka framing it as only ego dressed up as kindness... I generally speak up when I think someone is doing something harmful to themselves or others. Plenty of times I see people do stupid stuff and keep it to myself. but sure, frame it as just a power trip, everything's pathologized

@Crypto_Mags @SnorkelHotTubs @SpaceDenver Yay another frictional conversation starter... tried to be nice by pointing out to the guy in the sauna with a plastic water bottle that it's probably not a good habit... nvm

@choi_sun_k @punkassafrass @joshwhiton Saying no side effects is dangerous because from what I'm reading there's potential for harm to the liver even at relatively modest doses
