The "company’s infamous 'peptide Fridays' when employees injected themselves with gray-market compounds during breakfast in the office... scrapped for being too flip for 'the clinical gravity' of the message."
If your boss asks to you to inject unregulated substances into your body, at work, on a weekly basis... you clearly need a union.

@neckspike @ashleygjovik Dito, though I considered it “too stupid to believe”…
@ashleygjovik "In recent months, the 25-year-old Australian has become the Bay Area’s peptide poster boy..."
Of course, and apologies.
Watch the clip 'I can't. Can't what? I can't inject you with window cleaner. I don't mind. Hey, what does...' from the movie The Man with Two Brains on Clip.Cafe. Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: I can't. Fran: Can't what? Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: I can't inject you with window cleaner. Fran: I don't mind. Hey, what does it do anyway? Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr: It causes your brain to die last. Fran: I don't mind.
@ashleygjovik I remember that in 1920s people were ingesting radionuclides with the same enthusiasm. Didn’t turn out well for a lot of them.
@ashleygjovik John Brunner wrote 1975 in “The shockwave rider”:
"There are two kinds of fool. One says, 'This is old, and therefore good.' And one says, 'This is new, and therefore better.'"
