    Violence is often the solution, but it shouldn’t be the first solution we try.

    It’s stupid to assert that law enforcement should be completely unarmed. There’s absolutely legitimate situations where it’s in the public’s best interest. Now, the situations that do require it aren’t super common, but they exist.









  • There are 100% people with a gene that makes them metabolize anesthesia super rapidly, myself included. It’s linked to the gene for red hair, but red hair isn’t a requirement (I have it and I’m not a redhead, although my mom is).

    I’ve 100% woken up during surgeries I should not have been conscious for, because the anesthesiologist didn’t believe me. Those include a pediatric colonoscopy, surgery to set a broken arm, my TEE (I was conscious, but in twilight sleep. Took 3 vials of versed and I still remember it), and my septoplasty.

    And it’s not just general anesthesia either. It takes a fuck load of local anesthesia for me to feel it. My last filling they had to give me so much it paralyzed half my face for a while. Also, I wish my urologist had believed me when I said I wasn’t numb for my vasectomy.
