It is not irrelevant at all. It's extremely relevant.


The sheer fact you're saying this tells me you don't know the very basics of addiction and therefore not worth further discussion due to the sheer stupidity practiced here, but I'm just going to humor this:


Nexus Origin said :

The vast majority of smokers don't get cancer (less than 10 percent of lifelong smokers), and the vast majority of people who get cancer are not smokers.


Where's your source?

Nexus Origin said :

Methadone is not addictive and in fact prevents you from getting high from opiates and such, as it is an opiate blocker, which is why it is used for detox purposes.


"Methadone
is an effective analgesic that’s used orally, and it has a longer duration
than morphine. It’s often used to treat patients addicted to narcotics through a
gradual withdrawal process. In contrast, the abrupt discontinuation of narcotics
or treatment with antagonists leads to a harsh withdrawal process. Longer-acting
methadone can be used to reduce drug cravings and to prevent the symptoms of
withdrawal. However, methadone is also addicting ."

Straight from the book I have to read for my Pharmacology class.

There's this little gem too:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1070723/

"...Patients develop tolerance and physical dependence following repeated use..."

AKA Addiction.

Now I know you just got dropped on your neck here, but please- don't get too upset over it- everyone's gotta take a L at some point :)

Will Chipotle's stock rebound? I got the buy one get one burrito deal that expires on 8/31 - did you?
Why is my company's VPN shitting itself so I get 1/10 the speed when I use it?
Is it bad for new countries to host the olympics because of the impact to finances and the poor?

Over-easy. I might make egg soldiers now that I saw the idea from posh.
And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

And out of all those options, you asked about Antifa. Lol.


I did not bring up antifa, I asked what the obsession in OT w/ it is - it was already being discussed.

If you go back three pages, and focus real hard, I bet you'll be able to follow along.

I'd go over easy too - unless there's sausage, then I want scrambled.

I googled the egg soldiers - it's just a soft boiled egg that you shove some toast in?

I didn't say you brought it up, I pointed out how you asked about it. People responded to you and the Antifa discussion was fueled/extended.

Really, are you a goldfish?

I really, don't think you're as dumb as you're putting on, but you're challenging my assumptions.

Asking about the obsession was more of a way to dismiss the drivel that both Skull and Nexus were batting back and forth. If I wanted to really push ahead on the merits or perils of antifa I probably would have engaged on the substance (what little there is) of the subject. I do hope this makes sense to you.
