Anon is already a beta by buying her a drink. She should be buying him the drink.

Nope, there absolutely is a limit to how much lidocaine they can give. It can put you in a coma or depress your CNS to the point you stop breathing or even stop your heart.
Gravity and Inertia are harsh mistresses.
Ouch. Close to home.
I found out my maternal grandmother once, to punish her youngest son, did exactly this. I don’t remember what it was he did as it has been decades since I heard the story, but she packed her bags and walked to the bus station in town. The whole time my uncle was following her, wailing and crying for her not to go.
My grandma was a real piece of work and the day I heard that story it clicked why my mom is so fucked up.
My wife has stage 4 colon cancer. One thing people who don’t know some who has had cancer don’t understand is that you can have it for a long time before it becomes so obvious that you have it. So while she has been far more susceptible to diseases before we figured it out, she found out because she went into the first stage of sepsis due to a necrotic tumor in her uterus that got infected. Sepsis isn’t a disease, it’s condition. Any infection can cause sepsis so it isn’t a symptom but something caused by the symptoms, an add on effect, if you will. If not treated in time, you die of septic shock. Again, septic shock isn’t a disease but a condition brought on by a disease. So no, dying from all diseases does not cover everything that you can die from that cancer or emphysema or COPD can have an effect on. In my wife’s case, had we waited 24 hours more, she would have likely died because her organs would have started failing due to acidosis. Again, not a disease, a condition. Even if they had been able to treat her in time, her cancer would have likely made their treatments less effective than as they would have been for someone without cancer.
Let me try to put it in better terms. A disease can create a condition which can have a negative effect on the body. This condition is not necessarily solely caused by that disease, so it isn’t a symptom. This condition, like acidosis of the blood, can then go on to create further problems, like organ failures, which you can die of. So in this example, the cause of death is organ failure, not acidosis, not the disease. and not the cancer. Without the cancer, the disease might not have spread as fast or happened at all. And thus, quitting smoking improves your chances of not dying from all causes, not just all diseases.
It’s his dementia. He’s getting almost as bad as Reagan was when Nancy was basically guiding him, except he won’t let anyone guide him so he goes off the rails constantly. A narcissist with dementia is pretty much uncontrollable.
He’s been showing signs of it since at least 2016.
Pioneered by MENSA!
I believe the scientific term used to be “moronic”.
It takes a certain level psychopathy and/or sociopathy to be really successful in business. You have to be willing to do truly horrible and despicable things in order to make shit tons of money.
Porque no los dos?
It’s possible that both can exist.
I have had depression and anxiety for my entire life. I was treated for both. Then I found out I had ADHD and am on the autism spectrum. Guess what having those and being untreated can cause? Depression and anxiety(amongst others). This doesn’t mean that everyone who has anxiety and depression have ADHD and autism. The brain and the mind are highly complex things and very, very often after multiple paths to the same thing.
Imma need a source, because knowing what I do of anatomy that seems more than farfetched.
Aaaaaaand I’m remembering a scene from the 1991 film version of Naked Lunch…
Could see this on a ringworld. Come to think of it a ringworld would be the perfect place to base a fantasy novel on.
The one on the left is giving Malazan vibes. If someone could manage to keep a K’chain Che’malle caged up, I could see somewhere in the world turning fighting it into a blood sport.
Saw an article recently, can’t remember where, that basically said that the sole reason fast food was doing so poorly was pricing. That McDonald’s was charging Texas Roadhouse prices, so people were choosing to skip McDonald’s and go to Texas Roadhouse.
My experience has been that most of that is either the lights just being left on or cleaning crews. Oh, or coworkers hooking up.
Not to make light of your situation, but I cannot count the number of times I have put something in a “very secure location” then been unable to locate said item for months.
They used that part of the 13th that said “Well, except prisoners, those can be slaves.” Local law enforcement rounded up former slaves on trumped up charges and leased them back to the same plantation owners they were freed from. Only now if they escaped they were “escaped criminals” and they could count on even northern law enforcement returning them. The US is still a pro-slavery country and will be as long as that part of the 13th amendment stands.
