Maybe the dumbest thing anyone's ever said about me

true, you'll never write a bestseller

Probably true. The writing part, at least.

Moo Vaughn.

Let the man run towards his inevitable new 51 ban, smell the roses while you can etc.

xp ...what does that mean

You'll find out if I write a bestseller

i can't bring myself to give a toss about Facebook or data

I give a toss in so much as everyone involved in the story are utter cunts who I'm happy to see suffer.

don't even care about that tbh altho i saw that Cambridge Metallica bloke on BBC4 news the other night and he looked a right dick

i comprehensive catalogue of who's called who a dick on the internet would be the sort of data that might have some entertainment value

Red Arrows

Doping in sports

75% of the things that happen at my place of employment, including most of the things I'm responsible for

sounds about the right percentage

Deadpool. Actually I liked the Deadpool movie which I wound up watching on an airplane, but constantly seeing 'merc with a mouth' makes me want to jump off a fucking bridge.

trump tweets

Anything involving the Simpsons'"Steamed Hams" bit, Toto's "Africa", and Owen Wilson saying "wow". I have no idea why all of these things seemed to become incredibly prevalent in the last six months.

^^ I second all these memes that won't die because they're meant to be bad

wtf the Steamed Hams stuff is great

plus ça change, plus c'est la meme chose

oh god yeah the Toto thing. what the fuck is that all about. i mean yeah, good song, but for some reason it's occupying a similar space as Never Gonna Give You Up now.

Never gonna let you down in Africa

brb, arranging this as a banjo-driven mashup

Is the Toto thing only because of the empty mall video?

The memeification of "Africa" has been extensively discussed here

TOTO "africa" classic or dud

not sure there is a consensus.

Ugh, I had no clue that it's huge on youtube. Also, boooo to reminding me that the Holderness family exists.

I overheard my son talking about it yesterday so that must be what's behind that. To his credit he said to his friend "it's not a bad song".

One of the ten best songs ever.

I am on the cusp of not caring about The Crown. I feel too much pressure to like it.

Memes are bad

Sorry, "memes"

trump?

it feels kind of nice

the opiate epidemic

Damn

Yeah, I know (if that was for me). I almost posted it on the controversial opinion thread.

Also, in general, everyone hates or doesn't care about April Fools Day?

trump?

it feels kind of nice

thread delivers

the Bill Murraying of Jeff Goldblum

agreed

Cold, yerac. Weird thing to not care about

I realized after that I put opiate and not opioid epidemic. And then I cared enough on that to look up the exact difference.

morphine is a highly addictive drug and it has very little to do with your psychology, it is literally a physical reaction that your body starts relying on

this is why if you're ever in an accident or undergo some type of procedure where you require it, it's usually administered in very small doses, but it can have negative affects if you take it long term

take it = require it, i should say

the opioid epidemic is mostly about pharmaceutical companies selling pain solutions that are supposed to be long-lasting but aren't, doctors that are encouraged to immediately come to an outcome with a patient visit as opposed to providing continuity of care, and the inability of our justice system to provide care over incarceration

I care about all of those things, so I have to care about the opioid epidemic.

I care about the underlying factors because those don't always lead to individuals being addicted to opioids. I probably should've posted this on the controv opinion thread.

There's a difference between knowing why one ought to care, and caring.

Opioid epidemic spreads to fentanyl overdoses as well. My buddies friend died of an overdose recently. It’s a huge problem in Vancouver and the efforts to fix it have been piss poor. Intake sites help the homeless to test and shoot up safely. Understandably these individuals have a more urgent need for these resources but the options for non homeless are appalling: a needle Naxolone kit which no individual could administer if overdosing unless a friend was there to babysit you basically

xpost A- which is a summary of what this thread should be.

I think most people are aware of these things. Sorry about your friend friend.
