Sidewalk Surfboard Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 A few weeks ago, I was listening to the song Brighton Rock in the car, and when Freddie started singing in his really high pitched voice, the speakers literally couldn't pick it up. Like, for some reason, the guitar and drums could still be heard fine, but it was as if someone had removed Freddie's vocals from the track. I wonder why that is.

Fossa Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The warning on an ad for some new antidepressant: 'Call you Dr. immediately if you have any of the following symptoms: one of them was coma. How do you call anyone, in a coma? Some other ad listed the side effects of another medication as including 'death'. Nice to know it's just a side effect, I suppose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you call anyone, in a coma? Some other ad listed the side effects of another medication as including 'death'. Nice to know it's just a side effect, I suppose. Biology is a quirky thing. Many medications' common use in treatments begin as a side effect discovered while trying to treat something else. One of the most famous cases being Viagra, which began life being used to treat high blood pressure in the vasculature around the heart. The sheer complexity and number of interacting systems means that even the small variability in people can make for some very different reactions to medication, sometimes kicking off a sequence of processes that can have catastrophic outcomes especially when combined with other conditions. You can't account for it all or fully describe all the reasons something may happen, let alone discover them all. When they list death, it really is a side effect in that sense. As for coma, of course you call after your experience the coma Side effects lists can look pretty nutty, just don't let them dissuade you from actually taking your meds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, pretty much any company is willing to drag their brand/franchise in the dirt if it means making a few bucks, that's just capitalism... I think that when you're a fan of a franchise or brand (don't know if you're a fan of WoW, but I'm speaking more in general) you want it to maintain a certain level of quality and even dignity with its content and the products produced for it, while the company only sees it as something that can create additional profit if slapped on a product or licensed out.

Gator Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 people who insist that enjoying something violent or otherwise objectionable in art, roleplay, etc is the same thing as approving of it irl. you say that liking or accepting this thing in fantasy either means liking/accepting it in reality or eventually being conditioned to do so, but all that really says is that you're unable or unwilling to distinguish fantasy from reality. you refuse to differentiate between a person's fantasies, which you've taken out of context, and that person's actual moral convictions and ideals. then you claim it's the other person who can't/won't differentiate? if everyone followed the same mindset of "thought = action, fantasy = reality", which is the very mindset you're promoting, then we'd all be fucked. distinguishing fantasy from reality is important, yo. i don't think people ought be encouraged not to do so, and the fact that so many out there feel otherwise baffles me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the digital case, its a matter of 'it might not exist because furries and other artists will delete things and sometimes servers crash', on the other hand its a case of 'sometimes the internet is too expensive'. Also sometimes the same thing is boring and you don't want to have a lewd image permanently burned into your brain, when you can have something else permanently burned in there, like the works of Mark Twain.

Because electrical tape is used for literally everything. Mostly for protection and design. For the most part, it's used to tape equipment for protection from damage. Duct tape wouldn't work because it'd fuck up the weight of the equipment, but electrical and rubber tape work justtt right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallium Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Stunning revelation on my part but... I learned...I dont even like sex that much. Yes, its great and all. Yes it feels good. Yes it feels amazing... But... In the end I get so much more out of my emotional attachment to people. Its like the sex is some secondary source of intimacy... Wow, go figure right??? This should be basic news to me. Before I even cared for sex I was a younger person filled with loneliness and wanted closeness of some kind of kinship...the sex was always some gradual buildup in my mind, but it always stemmed from the same place. Funny how when doing it Ive ended up realizing I love the person more than the act itself. What an odd revelation... No wonder Ive 'not liked' sex despite having a hyperactive sex drive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
