"You shouldn't depend on drugs to function!"

Yeah, well, congrats on being that one healthy white guy that all of our medicine is apparently based on.

@gwynnion I’m glad they don’t drink any form of caffeine while pontificating (sarcasm for those unsure)

@gwynnion
"You shouldn't depend on drugs..."

Okay, so what? Should I go to a faith healer or...?

@artemis @gwynnion Years ago I was invited to go to one with a co-worker. His wife was diabetic like me so he asked if I wanted to go get healed too. I asked him if he remembered I'm Jewish. To which he replied so was Jesus .

I declined, the next morning he came in saying his wife was healed, The preacher laid his hands on her and called forth the lord and she was healed. So he threw all her insulin and equipment away. I was concerned and said are you watching her to make sure she is OK? And offered to give her some supplies if she needed them. He said no she is fine.

Two days later he did not come in to work. We found out she was in the hospital. Was he pissed at the charlatan? Nope she did not have enough faith was why it did not work.

@nerb @artemis @gwynnion

Oh no! Was she okay?

That feels like straight-up abuse, honestly.

@nerb @artemis @gwynnion I put real distance vetween myself and these people. Tomorrow, it will be some decision they make about you.

You can see what they do to themselves to score points with a fiction in their own heads. I have always found anyone needing a magical invisible man looking over their shoulder to determine right from wrong untrustworthy.

I have yet to be disappointed.

@nerb @artemis @gwynnion Blaming the victim comes so naturally to them.
@gwynnion oh, then I'll just function without them. Silly me, just depending on them for funsies!
@gwynnion depression is merely an imbalance in chemicals, little more
@gwynnion this is what i was told by supposed professionals who found it quite trivial to ignore decades of racism, colorism, casteism.
@gwynnion I'd respond with: "In an ideal world, that would be true. Unfortunately, it is the best thing we've got."
@gwynnion Peri-menopause is a beast. There's no way I could function without bio-identical HRT. Literally no way.
@gwynnion Depends on the types of drugs, surely-

@gwynnion

But lock on of these people into a room without food and water for a month and they come crying.

@gwynnion i wonder if that person would say the same of the glasses they're very likely to wear.
