The sensation they induce is often described as euphoria. Some, such as morphine, are made from the opium pop...

And none of the drug company executives who made this happen will ever see the inside of a jail cell.

Some organizations are getting on the targeting opioids effectively bandwagon. Well, one anyway. http://khn.org/news/hmo-doctors-take-pains-to-slash-opioid-prescriptions/ They also pushed colleagues to expand the use of non-drug options for chronic pain sufferers: physical therapy, acupuncture, cog...

Over-prescribing is an enormous part of the problem in my opinion. I recently had my tonsils out and discussed with my doctor at length about NOT wanting opioids (for a variety of issues but mostly because they make me feel fucking disgusting) only to be told my only option for take home medication ...

Fuck, it's been said before, but I wish there was a super competent deep state secret government pulling the strings. This is what people don't get about the government and public policy in general - it's fucking complicated and hard to get it right. There's no deep-state trying to foment a quiet c...

I started watching this because I kept coming across posts on facebook and reddit going on about how good it was. I binged season 1 on prime and as it turns out facebook and reddit are right - it's good. It's based off a series of books by James S. A. Corey (that I'm going to have to read now while ...

Pretty much everything with babies can be filed under "this too shall pass," but that includes the good stuff too - so watch them sleep at least once. You won't sleep for the first three months, accept this. Buy infant gas drops, use them. (h/t syaigh) Use a baby wrap. I'd be leery of &quo...

Motherfucking awesome. I loved it. The bit with his momma made me a little weepy, but there were also parts where I laughed my fucking ass off. The soundtrack is great.

You're the juice whisperer. Someone mentions steroids in a thread and boom! You appear like the grouchy anabolics fairy.

OT, I'm looking forward to seeing this.

Boo!

We traded a bunch of al Qaeda fuckwads for a deserter and some black lady sewed her newborn onto the train of her wedding dress and this is what you assholes are talking about? You ain't been on FB today? Start a thread about the treasonous, deserting POS then. Being outraged about the military is ...

Everyone dies eventually, Herr Fatty.

This is why I don't think governments should be in the execution business.

Or pay me $5 gas money and give me a bullet and I will kindly fertilize the prison yard. I can't believe that taking out society's trash has become such a cause of note.

It's because we want to kill our criminals but we want to do it comfortably.

Before you get a dog, you may want to ask yourself what is missing in your life that you think would be filled by bringing an animal into your house.
