Fentanyl Fold

Research has not yet pinpointed what exactly causes the fenty fold, as fentanyl use is not known to directly affect the spine. Instead, it’s becoming clear that it is a neuromuscular side effect of synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Studies from the Journal of Applied Physiology and the Harm Reduction Journal highlighted similar findings that fentanyl use can lead to severe and widespread muscle rigidity, particularly in the trunk muscles, which restricts respiration and affects posture and mobility.

I suppose now that "the children are protected", there aren't any roadblocks to more intently exploiting the adults?

This is akin to the nature vs. nurture debate--that is, how much of one's personality is due to nature or to the people who raised them and the environment they grew up in? As the article I linked states, it far messier than the simple title implies.

Kids are not born as identical blank slates, they come straight into the world with their own set of personality traits that are essentially "hard wired".

So, the answer is, you do the best you can, and hope for the best. There are no guarantees that raising your kid a certain way will result in a "good" kid. And, "good" kids can come from shitty upbringings.

I have two sisters and a brother, we were all raised by the same parents in the same house, together. Our parents loved us and did their best to raise us, which was pretty damn good. However, we are all as different from each other as we could be. In the past I've described us as the four corners of a world map--which, when the corners come together, make a globe.

Yes, but there is no guarantee this will work.

We were told that the teflon coating is "inert", implying it's harmless. But, now we have microplastics in every cell in our body, of which, teflon is one. I'm not sure that chemically inert equals harmless.

Cast iron is great once you learn to cook with it. Food does stick sometimes, even in a "seasoned" pan. But, it's not a big deal. Also, you can clean and polish it with power tools, if you need to. It's virtually indestructible.

Induction stoves? You WILL break the glass, and the glass is expensive to replace. If I got electric, I'd go with an old-school coiled heating element type, literally buy an old, used stove, because new appliances are crap construction quality. You can get them refurbished, and they're easy to fix if anything goes wrong--very simple machines.

If you choose gas, you NEED good ventilation, a hood that vents to the outside. At least, you need to open a window while you're burning the gas.

Outside, against the wall, alone. At least that's where I sat in high school. So, maybe with the wasps?

I was late to the Flat Earth thing, I assumed it started as satire for a couple of years after hearing about it, but didn't pay it any attention. I was disappointed to learn that it was not satire, and too many (more than zero) believed it was true.

On the upside, I suppose, I now am more aware of just how fucking stupid people can be, and that's good. Gotta keep your guard up when meeting new people, ya never know, ya know?

Dean Martin was faking it. He barely drank, and was not a partier. It was all an act.

You can’t pardon Putin for war crimes in Ukraine... idiot.

My education system didn't fail me, I failed it.
