A question for the ages…

It be like that sometimes.

Ok but I still think the mosquito thing is worth a try. I’m even willing to live alongside wasps but mosquitoes gotta go!

Good luck! You aren’t the joke, they are. Never forget that.

Bullshit. That’s Cookie Monster in disguise!

"Dude you've been playing FOREVER, it's MY turn!"

Check out Josh Johnson. He is the next George Carlin in my mind. His social commentary comedy is 🔥.

Well no, I’d prefer they just find another line of work, but…. 🤷

You must be in marketing. Go watch a Bill Hicks video, thanks.

If you want to split hairs, manipulative advertising is what people are talking about, and I'm sure you know that.

What's wrong with making a societal shift where people learn to go out and look for what they want? It's not like you can't have a website with a schedule of all the activities for your ________. And if people want to see or do ________ they can come find out when and where instead of the constant barrage of shit they aren't interested in anyway.

There are better ways.

Still is, but it used to be, too.

I'm on board and have been for a long time. I am true believer of Bill Hicks' opinion of marketing. I stopped watching broadcast/cable TV in the late 90's because I couldn't stand watching all the propaganda mixed in with the shows. Whenever I'm in a doctor's office lobby or somewhere that has a TV on, it's a bit of a shock to see all the commercial bullshit again.

Does wonders for you once it's not occupying space in your brain.

Have you considered cutting contact? I have a very toxic parent that I had to do that with and it did wonders for my mental health afterward. People like that don't deserve to be in your life.

Time for a new boyfriend because this one is either mean to you, abusive to animals, an idiot, or all of the above. You don't throw pets and you definitely don't throw pets that land on little beds of razor blades at somebody.

The blood tests are extremely unreliable. And I don't say this to say "Yeah you have it dummy", just that you really can't know for sure and IT DOESN'T MATTER because almost everyone has it anyway. Watch videos on youtube by doctors addressing herpes and you'll see that they just don't see it has a big deal because it's so common. Most don't even think you should do blood tests because they're basically worthless, and that's why they aren't included in a standard STD panel.

I recently had to learn all about it after a potential partner disclosed, and I found this British doctor's youtube channel to be incredibly straightforward and informative:

Don’t worry, 90% of the population has herpes by the time they are 50. The vast majority do not know they have it.

Edit: If you'd like to learn more, I found this doctor's youtube channel incredibly helpful: https://www.youtube.com/@DrBretPalmer
