That's why Eve eating from the apple tree of knowledge is considered the moment where the loss of paradise happens. I'm not religious at all but I'm fascinated by the 'story' about how everything goes to sh!t the more knowledge you have. A scary message to keep the masses uneducated and controlled, but there's truth to the idea that ignorance is bliss.

same with OCD

Ive lost my dad last year at 84, i cant stand it, he was always so full of life and then in 3 years he deteriorated rapidly until he could no longer swallow without aspirating.

A two party system is not able to answer properly to the needs of the voters, they can only choose between two extremes and neither is fitting to the needs of the majority. The Netherlands overdo it with 21, it is impossible to make decisions and steer a country if every question needs to be discussed with everybody and every opinion needs to be evaluated. Keep it below ten and offer more than two choices. Germany learnt that lesson, google "Weimarer Republik"

How can there be so many awful people in the world? How?

We are a plague

Has anybody noticed how slow and dumb flies have become? I can swat them in legit slow motion lately and they just don't move.

At this point I am quite alright with humankind being wiped out by some ancient killerorganism... our species is the worst and does not deserve being here anymore.

You and ,e both dude

Yes this makes me want to vomit.

Thanks, now I can't sleep either

As individuals, we're pretty meaningless inside this sphere too. Unless you are (in)famous (and even then, for more than 15 minutes) you will be forgotten and have zero legacy within 100 years or so of your passing.

The amount of child abuse in general, it's not a particular church issue it is a humanity issue. Entire cultures all over the planet allow child abuse, particularly those that allow child slavery, child labor and child brides.

More than needed? Granted they had the wrong man, but putting you in a police line up is the police doing their jobs correctly, acting on all information available to them. Had you been arrested and held in cells while they waited days for DNA to exonerate you, then it would be much needed. Blame the AH doppleganger - the police were doing thing right here, it's a creepy set of coincidences that they got the wrong person originally.

Jesus reading all these are going to send me on the drink 2nite 🤦‍♀️

I feel that 😨 I hope I die before my cats, turtles and dog dies, but that would be selfish to hope right

It is one of the things that make me beyond sad

Trumphumpers are so disconnected from reality it's frightening. Since they all worship Putin they should move to Russia and volunteer to fight against the Ukraine. But the gun loving trumpers are wimpy wannabe soldiers. Pathetic losers.

Fertility rates in developed countries has actually plummetted. We just need more available and reliable contraception in developing countries. I live in Brazil, and the number of teenage pregnancies is staggering.

In view of the coming changes caused by the climate, I would like to have at least a little bit of meaning in life with my small permaculture garden project. the multiplication of people does not help us and I will definitely not contribute to that - I think many people have children because they believe that they will then fulfill a meaning in life. I believe that the proliferation of small oases can hopefully make a difference and I would like to support animals and plants - which ultimately, if many participate, can possibly also help humanity.

I think about this constantly.

Whoa.

This deeply concerns me for my sister's kid. We're in Ohio, and my sister is researching and making backup plans should they need to leave the state. That kid has enough internal struggles; it scares me what can happen when the struggles are just too much. Too many kids don't make it out alive.

But we do know how it works. It stops the nerves from passing pain signals to the brain...

I woke up during two different surgeries and remembered it. Having my wisdom teeth removed at 12 years old (too young if you ask me) and having my gall bladder removed (with complications). I remember both times very clearly. 0 stars, I do not recommend.

I came to under anesthesia for major surgery and I assure you I was not traumatized. I moaned and immediately the anesthesiologist reacted immediately by upping the med. Have had many surgeries since then without a problem.

This isn't really true, we do know how it works. Statements like this with no evidence behind them, just someone's "feeling" could keep people from having important procedures done. It's the same as telling people that you might not be dead before they donate your organs, or that doctors won't try too hard to save you so they can use your parts for someone else.

This isn't hard to find out and no drug is 100% it is what it is. It stops the receptors in your brain recognising pain.... Good luck having surgery without it?

Waking up during a procedure you are not supposed to be awake for is definitely disturbing. I do not recommend!

my mom woke up during her colonoscopy. she woke up with a rod up her a*s in other words. sounds *slightly* uncomfortable

It certainly doesn’t work well for executions!

just b/c YOU don't know how it works doesn't mean anesthesiologists don't.

So, I had my surgery on January 5th, it is now February 3rd. And It has made me SOOOOO sick. I feel god AFULL. My cough makes me want to die

I believe its even still more an art than a science

Another neat thing: Anesthesia is not sleep.

To 3 Owls in a coat, people who study space and the planet's say that our universe is mostly made up of dark matter. I believe about 90%.

I've woken up during both surgeries I've ever had. First was wisdom teeth removal. Woke up and they were trying to get one out. I could feel them hammering on the tooth for a minute or so before they realized I had woken up. They must have seriously freaked out and given me a super high dose because I didn't wake up for a day after that. Second surgery was a hernia repair and I told the anesthesiologist that he probably needed to give me a little more to start since I woke up during the last surgery. He laughed a said, "Don't worry, we use a completely different kind of anesthesia. You'll be fine." I believed him till I woke up again with them tugging on my abdominal walls. "She's awake!" Lights out again. But to his credit, he didn't overdose me. I woke up alert and ready to go home five minutes after hitting the recovery room.

I had shoulder surgery 2 weeks ago for a torn rotator cuff and bone spurs. I woke up during surgery and said, "hey doc? My arm doesn't feel as numb as it should be". I heard a flurry of voices telling me DON'T MOVE. Then I got knocked out again.

Like that one Greys Anatomy episode

And some people die.

Better than earlier, where everyone got traumatized under operations without anesthesia or hooked on opiates

I have "awakened" in two surgeries I can remember. In one instance, the nurses were talking about the rowdy party they had the night before. In the other, the needle had popped out of my hand and blood was dripping on the floor - I was the one that told the doctor.

I am hyper sensitive to anesthesia. They usually give me locals which I woke up in the middle of ankle surgery and a c section. I was not supposed to be under at all. Very scary for me. I was given full anesthesia for a lapband and flatlined. I had several surgeries since no problem as they figured out what was affecting me. However this last time not so good. Knee surgery that when I started to come out of I didn't. For hours I would blink and the nurse would disappear and reappear across the room or be gone all together. The room was floating around making me feel dizzy and nauseous. I was also having a hard time breathing. It was really doing a number on my head. I remember begging the nurse to make it stop. I had the surgery at 10 in the morning. It was 7 the next morning before I was out of it. The whole idea of surgery is very frightening to me to the point I put them off as long as I can. I have three more pending right now.

My neurologist said it's the brain going to sleep. If a neuro knows what anesthesia is that's good enough for me.

I just hope I’m not actually dead right now and my brain is making everything up

This one is so depressing

That, is because global warming is a hoax, and Trump wanted to save us from the lizard people who rule over all people unless they drink a potion of bleach and rat poison that has been sanctified by a tanning bed. If you cannot tell that this is sarcasm, you are lost to me.

I do not recommend having one. I didn't have fun

No, he is wrong. If he can't give a definitive diagnosis he is guessing and doing it badly.
