    Vitamin D deficiency is a silent widespread issue for a lot of people. Had a battle with it a few years ago. Was tired no matter how much sleep I got, had negative motivation to do anything. Libido all but disappeared, and finally sought a doctor visit when I started have suicidal thoughts.

    Turns out I just needed more sunshine and 50kiU once a week for a month.

      Vitamin D toxicity is also a big problem, and doctors have been overprescribing supplementary vitamin D for years. Feels almost like a joke, you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

      kiU

      I know vitamins are typically measured (at least here in the US) in International Units (IU), but I’ve never heard of “kiU”.

      What’s that short for?

    Man, I’ve been tempted. I’ve started saying I’d try a drug if it was ever offered, because I’m too much of a coward to figure out how to get it myself. I have an additive personality, so I know it would kill me and, honestly, I’m fine with that.

      Kratom cut my drinking by 80%. Haven’t had a single beer at home alone in years. Still go out occasionally with friends, so not a recluse or anything, just the excess stuff.

      More states are banning porn. Anyone that doesn’t already have a locally hosted ai porn generator is just asking for blue balls at this point.

    My dearest friend for the past 25 years became a drug addict. She died of an OD on Saturday. Left two young children with no parents. (Dad left years ago). I witnessed her spiral into addiction and destruction over the past 2 years. I couldn’t stop it. I tried.

    If you want to become an addicted to something, please try masturbation or video games.

    One must be always drunk, that’s all that matters.

    But what with?

    With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose.

    But get drunk.

      Crucially, it doesn’t seem like one while you’re high on it. For most people anyways.

      Doesn’t “depressant” have more to do with your body’s functions and not necessarily the depression we think about? Been a long time since high school health and EMT classes.

        Yes, but if you become an alcoholic you will be depressed and feel like a piece of shit regardless.

        8.5 years sober, thank fucking god.

      I’ve heard that drugs, including alcohol, trigger the chemicals in our brains that make us feel “happy”. After the effects wear off, our natural “happiness” level is even lower than it was before. This is why we feel the need to use the drug again, and over time, we also have to take more of it to feel the same level of “happiness”.

    Randomly read a click bait article the other day on “How famous people died”. The older ones were alcohol + drug prescription overdose, while the newer ones were fentanyl + cocaine + alcohol.

    Remember people, stay hydrated! Drink your drugs with water like you’re meant to!
