The show 13 Reasons Why reportedly led to some copycat suicides

Maybe Twilight. I used to be part of the hatedom. I read the books and fanatically nitpicked at them

Some people do put way too much faith in those in authority following rules

I am an organ donor myself but there are a few different reasons people are not

1. superstition and religious beliefs. Some religions are against it.

2. a belief that doctors won’t try as hard to save them if they can use their organs to save more people

I hope OP is secretly Elon Musk trying to decide how much money to donate to wikipedia to get them to stop asking for donations

Of course all drugs affect different people differently but doing more than one drug at a time is something to be cautious about. Apparently alcohol increases THC absorption when you do both at the same time. After I collapsed on the bus, they gave me electrolytes intravenously to try and get the THC out of my system.

It’s important to note there were other factors involved, it was a hot day, I tend to get motion sick anyway, and I’m autistic which makes me prone to sensory overload

I’ve been drunk a lot and high a lot. I had never thought to articulate the difference between them in that way. When I’m drunk, I remember what I did but I don’t remember what the hell I was thinking. When I’m high, I have weird thoughts but don’t do much.

I’ve also been both at the same time and collapsed on a bus feeling like it was going 200km/h. NEVER do both at the same time

I’m one of the people who gave an answer like you’re describing and I have to admit, I’ve never been blackout drunk

Sometimes I think people who act differently drunk aren’t even that drunk, they’re just using it as an excuse

Before I started drinking, I had the misconception that drunk people literally have no control over their actions. Then, in university, I got drunk somewhat frequently and also helped take of other drunk people and my view changed.

There are things I might do drunk that I wouldn’t do sober, same thing when I’m stoned. But I wouldn’t cross the line into serious crimes like drunk driving because, even with inhibitions lowered, I am still able to think through the consequences. Being drunk tends to make people a little more impulsive and less concerned about consequences but not to the point of doing things they know are morally wrong or highly illegal, unless they’re already willing to do those things sober. Are there some people who alcohol does affect to that point? Maybe. But, like you said, the responsible thing for those people to do is not drink. Most people wouldn’t drink if doing so took a gamble that they’ll do something highly illegal or immoral that they aren’t willing to do sober

In my hometown, there was a lot of drunk violence, which gave me the misconception of drunk people having no control over their actions. My university friends informed me that violent drunks are already violent people to begin with

Knowing well in advance that doom is coming and still not figuring out how to band together and stop it

The world around me becoming dystopian like in The Handmaid’s Tale. Ignorant people laugh at that because it’s fiction but, like all dystopian fiction, it’s based on things that have actually happened in history. There’s little stopping it from happening again. The country right next door to mine is already on the path to it. Some say my country isn’t far behind. There are people in Canada who support Trump

Fun fact: in England, cops don’t even carry guns. Surprisingly, there are other ways to deal with crime

They carry guns in Canada, but I’ve never seen them pull them out and I’ve had a lot of interactions with cops

As a Canadian, it irritates me that my country is so influenced by American culture that people in Canada conflate things happening in the Untied States with how things are in Canada. Not saying Canada is perfect but can we not conflate our problems with another country’s problems?

My aunt is one of those conspiracy nuts who rant about the healthcare system being designed solely to make money off patients. I don’t think it occurs to her that we have universal healthcare

Some guy named Prince Andrew got arrested

Remember that scene in The Handmaid’s Tale where Fred and Serena are lured out of Gilead and then arrested? Why don’t we do that to Trump?

I had a religious studies professor who reckons that Jesus, Buddha, and Muhammad had midlife crises that spurred them to start their ministries. I think they were all around 30 years old and life expectancy was shorter back then
