Time to go to sleep… night night lovelies!

Also: the feeling of sadness…

That’s her bed. Once it was too broken for an adult, she’s got it and is gonna keep using it until it falls apart completely. In the one hand, she’s lucky to have a whole bed for her. On the other hand that twisted frame is gonna start wrecking her back from a young age. What did become of her? Did she marry, was she happy? Was she poor all her life and had poor children too? That’s a sad photograph… just think of sleeping on that wreck… with all your clothes on it because that’s better than the floor… and nothing will ever change unless it goes to the worse.

Vaccinations work, they prevent the diseases, those like that polio. But covid virus was quickly evolving, while each evolution was less harmfull, scenario like with every outburst of such a specific virus kind. It certainly did not need so much panic created around it, and so much vaccinations. The reputation was hurt tho by some very wealthy guys who still are greedy, seeing a good business in a lot of vaccines sold each year, for a virus not much different now from a common assortment of colds and flus. This was not something that would wipe humanity off the grid. I would like to see vaccine for HIV, but thats probably a lot less money to be made.

Don’t sigh at me like that, I’m not anti vax. I personally got innoculated with all of them known to mankind when I was little, including rabies vaccine and that was when I got scratched very close to in the eye by a stray cat…and I feel fine. I even got the ones and the boosters for the global challenge 5 years ago.

“Everybody is a gangsta until they cry in or next to a hospital bed.” - LordOdysseus

If you bother to trace back the older LAGL threads all the way back to 2016 in the old forums, you’ll see the reason why I made that quote. Nana, Yiole and even Miiral know what I’m talking about.

I climbed out of the hell hole of being dependent on doctors on my own. My doctor promised me there was no cure for my terminal illness and the pain was so excruciating that I begged the authorities for euthanasia.

"No, fruits and vegetables do not heal anyone. They have no place in science. I don’t care how you healed, your illness is terminal, I have my own books written by myself on the desk you’re seeing right now. " - My doctor’s exact words

“But doc, doing the same things and expecting different results is insanity. Einstein himself said that.” - LordOdysseus

That was my final exchange with him.


Believe me, when you have a loved one or yourself in a hospital bed, you’d try to move the Himalayas, but it’ll be too late then.

Fruits and veggies do heal when you know which is good for what and…


is true as well.
Each form of healing has its own place.
Also, why are we discussing health issues here instead of the health thread dedicated to it I’ll never know.

What type of alcoholic does research on the possible causes all while being intoxicated yet due to extreme tolerance Can think clearly enough about how this affects people I think I am able to interact with?

Just looking at all possible scenarios as why my brain has a hard time releasing dopamine.

A strong-willed introverted scientific alcoholic? :thinking:

Alcohol has both acute and long-term negative effects on the dopamine system. While alcohol initially causes a surge of dopamine, leading to feelings of pleasure and euphoria, chronic use results in the brain producing less dopamine to compensate. This chronic dopamine depletion creates a hypodopaminergic state, characterized by reduced motivation, anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure), and increased alcohol craving, which contributes to alcohol dependence and addiction.

So, get a hold of yourself please. Like EVE, Life demands our full attention and one mistake can have far-reaching consequences.

I wouldn’t bother diagnosing the Frostpacker as they defy explanation,. What we know so far about them is that they:

  1. Don’t share their ISK
  2. Like beer
  3. Pefer cats to women
  4. Are insuboridinate
  5. Are mean to Zaera ( see 1 )

Well cats are controlling though they can also be calming how they go about things.

The thing is that we don’t know what we don’t know. We don’t know how many people died behind government lies. We don’t know how long it would have taken natural selection to evolve milder and more succesful versions of the virus. We don’t know how many lives, man-hours of health care workers and lost production would have been lost or what would have costed to not do anything.

The decent, the humane thing to do, was to try and save as many of our brothers and sisters as we could, and as soon as possible, and for as long as possible. Of course the grabbing hands grabbed all they could. Of course there were hideous lots of stupid. But we got it done.

And then there’s H5N1. It’s the strand of influenza virus for which the mRNA vaccines began being developed (and still are). Those beasts are out there, evolving, inching their way towards human to human airborne contagion.

And we know they’re mass murderers, specially for youngsters and elders.

So personally I think of the Covid pandemic as a very realistic fire drill before the actual fire.

Also: that feeling of a sense for black humour…
