It's clearly pointless to attempt to explain anything about addiction to a clod who thinks the plural of "anecdote"is "data". So instead, I'll just mute you so you can enjoy shouting whatever gibberish you like into your own rectum without fear of contradiction.

Dear Advertisers,
Your "suggestions" are not actually "for me" if I didn't explicitly ask for them. So please stop trying to put one arm around me as though I'm your bosom buddy while trying to put your other hand in my purse.
Sincerely, Maggie

We've reached the point where we're actually seeing people argue aloud that some ideas and beliefs should be illegal.
IOW, they're arguing for literal thoughtcrime.
God help us.

"The effect it will have on other people." IOW, he's afraid of sex rays emitted from the side of the tit outside of the baby's mouth that creepy people can see if they choose to stare at a woman nursing. https://t.co/Ug59w8ewOA

"people who connect with her story can even call her and talk about their own experiences, for $50 per one-hour call…"
So she's charging money fordoing emotional labor? Yeah, so do I. Know what that's called, Jourdan? https://t.co/guXAyb0PYF

I wish collectivists would stop trying to include me in their collective-blame game when I have opposed practically everything they try to set blame for, and had nothing to do with the rest.
Sorry, but I'm not part of your political "we" statements.

And yes, this is equally true whether you stand there in a herd, mouth agape, pointing at either the "left wing" or the "right wing". I know it's fun to belong to these partisan gangs, but is paying attention to what's going on around you too much trouble?

I liked "Pride" much better as a parade one weekend than as a corporate "LGBT Christmas" going on for an entire month as an excuse to sell things.
But I liked it MUCH better as a month than as an ever-expanding series of only-tangentially-related events stretching out all year.

That's going to come as a surprise to a lot of historians. https://t.co/7DZLywnkqy

Another example: the incompetence of prosecutors in the kangaroo trial of Michael Lacey & Jim Larkin resulted in a mistrial, using up what little funds were available for the defense, so as to weaken it even MORE before the retrial and directly causing the death of Jim Larkin.

Some people are such economic imbeciles I wouldn't even trust them to make change.

Big thanks to fruitcakes who signal that I should mute them by advertising themselves as brain-dead partisans right there in their handle. It saves me so much time!

Some of us were warning y'all about this over a decade ago, but as usual nobody listened until it had already become a serious and deeply-entrenched problem.
Expressed more colorfully: we told y'all to get that lump checked out, but y'all waited until it became stage-4 cancer. https://t.co/pqRn9aOJFg

I might not hate the word "upgrade" as much if corporations didn't use it to mean, "replace something older that functions in a satisfactory manner with something newer that doesn't."

Despite over five decades of having to live with it, I will never understand why so many people absolutely CRAVE being ordered around and punished when they fail to obey arbitrary diktats.
And no, I'm not talking about kink.

An old friend and I were once discussing abusive relationships, and she told me about a couple she knew where the guy managed to gaslight his wife into believing that, when she ACTUALLY CAUGHT HIM IN BED with another woman, it was just a dream.
Good metaphor for US politics.

I am often bemused by modern people's crusade to "cancel" every artist they discover was an awful person, because if actually successful it would eventually result in a world almost entirely bereft of art.
