  • I already had fears of this happening to me. Yep. I don’t know if I should have read this. I just had 5 or 6 of those adorable little assholes come running at me, snarling and snorting and growling at me last week.

    I’m sorry this happened to you. Hope you feel better, and so happy you and your dog are mostly ok.

  • Ok, let’s use your silly argument. In the US, if someone isn’t capable of making decisions/speaking for themselves, someone is appointed power of attorney, and they make the decision for them. That’s their voice.

    In the case of me, a potentially pregnant woman (not really I fixed that) having an unwanted pregnancy, the embryo, can’t say anything so the person, me, “carrying” the pregnancy is defacto power of attorney/voice for said embryo. So, no, they don’t have a say, but I do.

  • Pretty much every prepackaged savory food in American has garlic and onions in it. Both are bad for dogs. Will it kill them? Probably not, but it’s definitely not good for them.

    Not to mention all the salt and other crap in “human foods”. If you're talking about your bbq from the backyard cookout, the same really still applies, since most people put sauce or seasoning on their food.

    If you specifically cook your dog some rice, broccoli and unseasoned (bone free) chicken, yeah totally fine, but I’d wager there are people that wouldn’t consider that human food with no seasonings.

  • Iirc she was a pretty young adult when she did it. Not the age bracket for thinking ahead.

    I get what you’re saying, but at the same time, even young me wanted to know more about what she was saying because it was clearly real.

    I also agree it was a different time and the way info was handled and disseminated was wildly different too.

    She just got the absolute shit end of the deal though.

  • Iirc she was put into a catholic asylum type place when she was a teenager, and treated terribly. Presumably it’s where she saw up close and personal what the church was really doing.

    It’s been a long time, but in the 80s, I recall the Catholic Church being known to be exactly what we know it’s to be now, but not in the same way. It wasn’t as widely accepted. As much as I despise this statement, it was also a VERY different time.

  • Yeah, there are people that still say the earth is flat, cheetosupreme won the election, and we never landed on the moon, doesn’t make them any less stupid. They will never accept reality so their opinion is irrelevant imo.

    The people back then, that didn’t really know what the Catholic Church was up to, are wildly different than now. It was a lot easier for them to keep shit hidden back then. And they had enough control, even then, to make sure anyone that stood up was “cancelled”.

    I don’t remember what year it happened but I remember it happening, vividly. And I also remember the swift rebuttal by famous people and the church alike demonizing her, which people didn’t know much better than to go along with and believe. It was a teenage against everyone basically.

  • I have not. As I eluded to, I haven’t tried any of the news classes of drugs, as I found something that worked well for me, before they became available.

    I was in the same boat though. I’ve seen more neurons than I can count over my multiple decades of life, and all of them just throw their hands up and say they tried but can’t help me. The last one, left it as you’ll do Botox or I’m done with you.

    Thankfully, for me, I just need to have small hit every night ( not enough to even see psychoactive effects) to mostly keep them away.

    As for abortive, there are a few strains I know will almost always stop anything in its tracks, and if for some reason it doesn’t, well being stoned out of my gourd works too.

  • No, I don’t think so. As I said, I don’t even need to get high. Just a small hit every night (not enough to have psychoactive effects) keeps them pretty much away.

    In the rare instance I get a painful migraine, I can almost always stop it completely with some specific strains. If I can’t stop it, then yeah, being stoned out of my gourd is a positive side effect. lol.

    Interestingly enough, when I used to drink heavily, I NEVER had migraines. Not so much as a headache, no matter how heavily I drank either.

    I do still get silent migraines (so some of the other symptoms, minus the pain) sometimes, but they are the least of my worries.

  • Honestly, I don’t even need to get stoned for it to help. Just a small puff off the vape, once a day, and I’m good to go. I haven’t bothered to try playing with the not thc stuff.

    The rare instance a migraine starts, at least weed is an incredibly predictable thing. A migraine can range from “eh I can power through” to “hmmm Half the vision in my right eye is gone”. I’ll take being stoned lol.

  • Chronic migraine sufferer here. Like 25+ days a MONTH, over 5 on the pain scale, plus all the other fun symptoms.

    I had tried literally every other drug on the market for migraine, even some off label, except Botox. The newest class of migraine drugs wasn’t on the market yet. History tells me I likely will not do well with Botox, so as a last ditch effort, before trying it, I decided to experiment with weed again.

    Life changing is an understatement. Went from most of the month, where I felt like I was slowly dying, to having MAYBE 2 relatively mild migraines per YEAR.

    Certain strains work better for me as an abortive, than others, but just having it in my system daily gave me my life back. It doesn’t seem to matter whether is a 1:1 (CBD:THC) or just a regular old mostly THC strain, it just works for me.

  • I guess at least she lived long enough to be vindicated for the reason she was cancelled.

    That had to be both infuriating and a relief, to some degree. Her career was destroyed/damaged for no good reason. So personally I’d be livid but at the same time, the see, I was right, had to feel kinda oddly good.

  • Don’t forget the massive amount of genocide U.S.A. has committed. Both on our own soil, and while playing puppet master in other countries (for their natural resources, or to instill govt US can control).

    I’m sorry. USA has never been great. Maybe if you’re white and rich it is, but at what cost.

  • I’m mostly in agreement but the end ruined it for me. I’m sorry, people with that much trauma just don’t react that way. There was “change” for a short period of time (positivity) but that doesn't undo the past.

    It’s hard to say what I’m trying to without spoilers.

  • I was not referring to everyone. I specifically stated people who refused to take precautions. I know enough people, who refused to ever wear a mask, or change any habits (like washing their hands when they came home) who now have long covid, and whine like they didn’t make a conscious choice.

  • I also haven’t gotten Covid, nor has my husband. We even traveled, by plane, in 2020.

    Personally, I haven’t been wearing a mask during summertime, but once fall/winter come back around, I absolutely will. Yes, it’s a risk, but it’s calculated. Sure it may bite me in the ass.
