YOU CANNOT SELF-FLAGELLATE YOUR WAY INTO EXCELLENCE

SHOCKINGLY, SCORN AND PUNISHMENT MAKE FOR WEAK MOTIVATORS. PRACTICE IS A HABIT HARD TO FORM WHEN ERRING'S MET WITH BLOOD.

BEYOND ALL THAT, REMEMBER: YOU WILL NEED MORE THAN LITTLE TREATS IN ORDER TO SURVIVE. BUT YOU DO NEED THE TREATS

after using the bathroom in a house...

I leave the door open to signify that no one is in there

I close the door most of the way to keep smells away but leave it slightly ajar

I close it all the way for some reason (WHY??)

I shit with the door wide open to assert dominance and leave it that way

I need to settle something

so what I have learned from this is there is a group of people who absolutely will not allow their cat to peruse their bathroom under any circumstances

[gallusrostromegalus]

My beloved Mochi is dumb as hell and too smart for his own good and he WILL open the drawers and eat a whole tube of toothpaste if he's allowed even 30 seconds in the bathroom alone and I do not need that kind of vet bill.

One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine

[nonbinary-witch-sam]

scientist when you don't take the medicine they developed to help your pain

[fandomsandfeminism]

As long as you are taking a SAFE dose of it, then it's *good* for you. Pain is bad for the body. The inflammation from prolonged pain can worsen chronic issues and make it harder to heal.

Ibuprofen is best for pain that has inflammation, while acetaminophen doesn't help with inflammation but is more broadly effective on other types of pain. As long as you are taking the recommended dose, you can even take them TOGETHER, since they have different mechanisms of action.

You do need to be aware of how much and how often you are taking any pain medication. Overdoses can be very painful (even lethal.) And if you are in chronic pain often enough that you need more than the safe dose, then you need to look into other medications to manage that pain.

(Also, if you are specifically taking Acetaminophen/Tylenol for your go-to pain management, getting some NAC and taking that with it reduces the risk of overdose AND may strengthen the effect.)

[bemusedlybespectacled]

One other thing: NSAIDS (ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen being the three big ones) can cause digestive issues with chronic use, including stomach ulcers. That doesn't mean "don't take them," it means "if you're at the point where you're on them all the time, every day, constantly, you should talk to a doctor about either reducing that risk or switching to another medication that doesn't have those side effects."

[phaeton-flier]

It is actually way better for 100 addicts to get their fix on pain pills than a single person in pain go without. I call this the "Torture is bad" principle. You should be able to get the good stuff forever after a single doctor's visit. If you're worried about addicts fund rehab centers and needle exchanges instead of torturing people.

[morlock-holmes]

Among other things if you can't use the legit market you turn to the black market anyway.

[kelpforestdwellers]

if you're worried about addiction, build a society where people get their basic needs met, including pain management.
