The Flood / Re: I need help! Vegan help!
« on: August 12, 2016, 05:22:44 PM »
i always find it funny when people say they're vegan but still eat chicken or animal products in some way. gotta be like, lol no you're not vegan, you're just a picky eater.

to me, veganism is a school of thought, not a lifestyle choice. simply conceding that consuming animal products harnessed by imposed suffering is wrong, and advocating the industry's dissolution makes you a vegan in my book. so yeah, it's possible to eat chicken and still be a vegan.

I'm sure you already know this, but that's wrong.

You're confusing vegans with animal rights activists.

rare is the case where those two are mutually exclusive, but yeah i know

i just think veganism should be changed to describe the school of thought instead of diet. i mean it's hard to live as an animal rights activist without being a vegan because people get caught up on the hypocrisy and dont take you nearly as seriously as they should. but for anyone with a modicum of philosophical experience it's possible to separate an individual's actions (in this case, eating meat) from their ideals (refraining from eating meat).
That's dumb bro
he's actually on the ball

you are all philosophical neophytes

torturing yourself is pathetic
Even if that were an option, it still would've been the objectively correct choice.
No it wouldn't

letting someone torture you is
They could refuse.

Nothing that the leaks haven't shown, but you get to hear Team Skull's theme (I think). It's interesting.

Second worst experience of my life.
Was being born the first?
It would be, but it's not really an "experience" as much as it's a thing that happened that I wasn't conscious of.

Driving on the road with other cars on it for the first time is the worst.
can we trade lives
You want an irrational hatred of everything and everyone? You can have it.

It's not a matter of "can," it's a matter of "should."

Can you? Yes.

Should you ever? No.

Should anyone ever? No.

But can they? Yes.

I can't say I sympathize too much with your whole "marijuana is not medication" point. Especially when it is medication.
It isn't, just like eating willow isn't the same as popping an aspirin. Marijuana comes in hundreds of strains and potencies. The THC amounts aren't consistent, and is just providing a dulling of her symptoms; it's really not unlike those that take pain pills or stronger recreational drugs for the same purpose, and Meta expressed a concern about that. If a doctor is attempting to fine-tune her medication to get her into remission, his work is being undermined by uncontrolled marijuana use that he's likely unaware of; clearly the medication she's on now doesn't work to the desired effect, but if her doctor is only seeing improvement (because the marijuana is masking symptoms), then she's putting herself in a dangerous situation of reliance and potential abuse. This isn't about marijuana being the boogeyman drug from the 90s, it's about how it interferes with her current drug regimen. A patient should be disclosing with their doctor any potentially body or mind-altering substance they intend to use, especially in a case as serious as depression.
Oh, well then absolutely.

But I still don't like your use of terms like "dulling" or "masking of symptoms," as though any other antidepressants could possibly do anything different. While you're right in saying that's all marijuana can do for your depression, that's also all Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Brintellix, Fetzima, Viibryd, Celexa, Lexapro, Sarafem, Cipralex, and Pexeva can do for you, too. None of these will "cure" your depression--they only mask your symptoms.

The only difference is that they mask your symptoms in a more socially-acceptable way. With a few potential bonuses--like suicidal thoughts, and making you even more depressed. You know, because they have all these synthetic elements in them that make it difficult for your brain to know how to react. I mean, these are just facts.
