Did you read the article? Google is not an insurance company. So, why is my hospital sharing information with them? And why wasn’t that disclosed in the privacy policy?

Those are the types of questions this study raises.

For sure! Glad you made it over :)

Crazy. Most subs have strict rules against name calling. I guess it doesn’t count when they’re using language the mods approve of.

Sam Harris has a real hardon for bashing religion which is sad considering how much Buddhism he practices (and how much his close mind and anger towards religion corrupts his practice).

Meditation is just mental masterbation and ego parlor tricks without the Dharma (the deep ocean of love and understanding we all swim in, what more enlightened Christians call God.) So much for “Waking Up”.

Which is my way of saying, militant atheists are children making a religion out of bashing people with points of view they don’t like (kinda reminds me of bible beating Christians and I’m sure they would loathe the comparison). And I too find them annoying as fuck.

the content has gone to shit anyway. i still scroll there some to keep up with news and generally don’t find much news and way to many amiugly posts on the front page.

I’m not addicted to anything other than dodging mu uncomfortable feelings.

Which I am super addicted to so I end up on lemmy alot!

so you’re daughter loves high fructose corn syrup. basically.

It’s both. Nicotine is also both. Note how people at AA still often smoke. And how much coffee they’ll pound even after dinner.

The only drug I misclassified is SSRIs. Which don’t trigger the dopamine reward system.

And my comment was in light of OP and common language usage. People say heroin addiction and they mean heroin dependency. It doesn’t help anyone to be pedantic about these two words. And I say that as someone who has taken college level classes on pharmacology and alcohol and drug dependence and is very aware of the technical differences used professionally.

I guess I don’t associate caffeine withdrawal headache with migraine as I don’t generally get migraines but tension headaches instead.

The caffeine withdrawal felt like my head was imploding, if that makes sense. Not sure if that’s a migraine or if opioids were making it worse, but the Vicodin I was prescribed absolutely had 500mg of Tylenol in it; and only 5mg of hydrocodone.

A week of this was terrible and it did not improved. I have sense learned to moderate caffeine and often drink tea instead of coffee or even decaf or halfcaff when I want to cut down. I will never try to cold turkey it again.

i have a friend that ate a lot of the stuff. i know it can be toxic at high doses but i would call it psychoactive more than poisonous.

also see my comment regarding some bugs like psychedelics (I’ve heard of slugs and racoons going after outdoor psilocybin beds)

but we’re not talking about migraines.

we’re talking about caffeine withdrawal headaches.

neither of which are 💯 understood but that doesn’t make them the same.

plus, Vicodin has Tylenol in it. so i was taking Tylenol.

Vicodin has Tylenol in it

Vicodin has Tylenol in it

was that bad form on my part?

Depends on how bad your caffeine addiction is. I tried cold turkey when I had a tooth pulled when I was drinking a pot of coffee a day.

A week in bed on Vicodin and Percocet, didn’t touch that headache and it didn’t improve or go away until I drank coffee.

Oddly, I ate a large bag of mushrooms and got tazed by the cops one night. Ended up in the psych ward. Was able to cold turkey the coffee after that. Not sure if it was the mushrooms or the juice from the tazer.

Weed is physically addictive. Withdrawal is very mild and only lasts a few days but it can happen with heavy use.

I didn’t experience it until I got into edibles and vaping concentrates and I had used weed regularly off and on for twenty years at that point.

So it takes heavy use, but physical withdrawal is a real thing with weed. But as I said, it’s the only drug I’ve been addicted to I would cold turkey.

There’s withdrawal but of the four drugs i have been physically addicted to (caffeine, weed, nicotine, and SSRIs) it’s the only one I can cold turkey in under a week and feel fine.

that’s my thought too.

but saddle back are native here and edible and i rarely see predation

i said probably and my point was made in the context of the meme. it wasn’t advice on safe foraging but an observation on how early humans may have made intelligent guesses before we had reliable guide books and the internet.
