  • Most right wingers think their views are legitimate because the right wing exists as the direct opposition to the left. But i think that view is warped.

    We need to start considering right wingers as extremists and not the opposition. They should be outliers on a spectrum where the left is much more central and the right is much more to the extreme right

    |----------------------------------------left wing----‐-----center----------------------------------------right wing--------|

    Like that

    They think their views are as right as ours are left. If they were, they would likely be welcome here.






  • You mentioned it turns out you have ADHD (turns out so do i) and that you began medication for that and it reads that this medication began at around the same time as you started on nicotine again.

    I am inclined to ask the question. Do you think perhaps you are associating the effects of the ADHD treatment to nicotine use?

    There certainly are some documented benefits to nicotine use. And much of what you say is verifiable. However, many of the benefits you describe can be associated with the treatment of ADHD aswell.

    I accept i dont know your personal situation. I only read your comment and noticed the timing seemed to be a bit close.

    On the subject of vaping, i personally experienced some sticky phlegm and trouble coughing this up as well as issues with lung capacity and the dependance on the nicotine made me extremely irritable and unable to concentrate until i vaped.

    Also it takes longer than a few months to break a nicotine addiction. I still uphold the idea that there may have been some withdrawal going on there.

    However i am happy to conceed the point if you genuinely disagree. As i said i have no idea about your personal situation.






  • It didn’t affect me when i did it. Got both, one in each arm. My covid arm was a bit sore and tight around the injection site, and the flu arm was fine. I didn’t feel any adverse effects.

    My colleague did the same but felt rough as arseholes for a week or so.

    It varied across the office, but i would say that only maybe 30% of us felt anything close to being sick at all. The estates department next door were all off for days after it.

    So it’s different for everyone.

    (For context, i work in a hospital, and they go around offering these vaccines every year)





  • I hope people dont believe you the next time you claim that something deplorable happened to you.

    Then you will likely argue that people should start bybassuming you might be telling the truth and look at evidence and investigate the case before determining that you were telling the truth or lying.

    Your tendency to think a woman is lying for money when making claims of rape is the problem women face today. And have always faced, for that matter.

    We dont shoot first and ask questions later. If she is lying, then it will come out when scrutinised. If she isnt lying then its a damn good thing we didn’t just brush her away isnt it…
