I didn’t provided medical advice.
I’m saying that pain that is neuropathic is often treated with Gabapentin, which in the long run, is healthier and safer than self-medicating.
Thus if OP looks up what neuropathic pain is and gets concerned, they should call a doctor and tell all this. Which is when the actual medical advice will come.
You can give people information about medicine without giving them medical advice.

That’s not a footpath, it’s a clearing or a small road even. You can’t see the footpaths in winter, they’re about a foot wide if that.
30 meters “at best”? Nah bruv. Maybe in the summer for that specific place, but as there’s a ton of birch there and such an open place, it’s probably a photo from the edge of a clearing on the side of a field or something. You don’t get birch in most of the forests, it’s just pine, and pine doesn’t really have branches on the low part of trees. So in a pine forest, you’d see way further.

Yeah, they ban the sale of items which shouldn’t be eaten, so there’s none for the consumer to choose, even if they wanted to. I mean obviously I’m referring to somewhat edible things, and not saying that everything that isn’t edible is banned.
Depends on where you live, but yeah, I imagine drinking dangerous chemicals isn’t necessarily illegal in itself. However I know there is a law in Finland saying you can’t sell like methanol from gas stations to ppl “if you suspect it’s going to be consumed”, because some drunks mightve done that in the past.
Not really a problem, but just remember such a law existing.

Dictating what you eat and banning things you shouldn’t eat are every different things.

Just as a sidenote here, it really isn’t hard to use an old phone.
You just get an old phone and then there’s adapters with BT, so you just hook up the old phone to the adapter and hit pair on the BT to pair it with your phone and tadaa.
Actually just figured that out after reading this thread. Might get myself one.

At your puny knowledge of the subject; conflating addiction and dependence, which I just proved to you — with sources — are two distinct medical concepts. Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder, and dependence is a biopsychological situation.
Did you miss this part here:
A drug addiction, a distinct concept from substance dependence

I laugh at your puny knowledge of the subject
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addiction
Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge to use a drug or engage in a behavior that produces natural reward, despite substantial harm and other negative consequences.
neuropsychological disorder
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance_dependence
Substance dependence, also known as drug dependence, is a biopsychological situation whereby an individual’s functionality is dependent on the necessitated re-consumption of a psychoactive substance because of an adaptive state that has developed within the individual from psychoactive substance consumption that results in the experience of withdrawal and that necessitates the re-consumption of the drug.[1][2] A drug addiction, a distinct concept from substance dependence, is defined as compulsive, out-of-control drug use, despite negative consequences.[1][2] An addictive drug is a drug which is both rewarding and reinforcing.[

Addiction and dependence are two different things. You can be dependent without addiction or addicted without dependence. For one cannabis can make people addicted, but the myth from that is because it doesn’t really cause any sort of physical dependence.
On the other hand lyrica etc benzos for example and especially opiates will cause physical dependence, and even if you don’t like want to take the pills, as in you don’t crave them, you’re not addicted to them, you may be dependent and then get withdrawal from quitting.
Addiction can also cause withdrawal, but psychological withdrawal is a bit different than physical.

If alcohol works it might be neuropathic pain and then this could work on it as well, using some of the same mechanisms of action as alcohol

But I dislike giving medical advice as am not a doctor. Something to research at least.

- Comment on Proof that Patrick Stewart exists in the Star Trek universe 6 days ago:
No, but neither could the person who figured it out in his day and age. He compared several of the pages layouts to figure out the book, then ordered a physical copy (there’s two different ones they use in the show, he got copies of both). The title is pretty prominently displayed as well there, in case you missed it.
“The Globe Illustrated Shakespeare”
I don’t want to link to Amazon, but it’s easy enough to find. It would make sense of Picard to have it, since he’s into Shakespeare, but the reason he is into Shakespeare is because Patrick Stewart is. And it’d make sense that when they want a prop book, they’ll use one with him in it, which he probably may have provided himself. I mean, I don’t think he did, but I would not be surprised. Not like he’s egotistic in any way, just whimsical.
So if someone actually watched the shower intensely back in the 90’s and went into their library to see if such a book would be available, they maybe have found it, and been pleasantly surprised to see Patrick Stewart in there. The book was like 20 odd years old at that point. (Or at least the photo of PS is, the book must obviously be at least a bit younger)
It’s not much different than modern Marvel movies talking about movies which feature same actors as in the movie. Hardly a big thing, sometimes done on purpose (Deadpool absolutely bashing on Green Lantern etc) and sometimes just because they want to mention a thing and it just happens to be a franchise with some of the same actors as Marvel is pretty big and has all the actors.

Nobody would be able to make it out when the show was filmed and released.
You sure about that?
I can make that out fro 1.5m away, on a screen a quarter of the CRT I’d have been watching from a similar distance.
but it wasn’t intended for the audience.
The book is literally highlighted and on display?
- Comment on "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda 6 days ago:
I played it back in like 2003. It was pretty fucking high class back then, when it came to realism. You could cook nades and decided whether you roll or toss them. You could also peek/lean. I believe it’s kinda common nowadays, but those were some fancy things back then. CS wasn’t even CS:GO back then, but like CS 1.5-1.6.
I never played it through Steam though.
Played on American servers and always had like 180 ping. Still managed to snipe decently.
But even back then I understood it was obviously propaganda, because you’re never allowed to play as “the bad guys”. You’re always an American, and you’re shooting people vaguely Middle-Eastern enemies. From your POV, you’ll rock an M16, but from your enemy’s pov, you’re using an AK47.
I think if they hadn’t tried forcing that bit, it might’ve seen more success.
Pure propaganda, sure, but I enjoyed it as a kid.

Fermenting anything generally results in at most some 15-18%, depending on the yeast you use. I’d say 10-12% is more realistic for homemade wines, but 14-16 isn’t out of the question.
So I don’t know what the deal is specifically with dandelion wine, but usually 10% alc will fuck up a person (and a teen especially) pretty well if chugged and the brewing process usually leads to there being all sorts of things in it (alcohols sugars, not-too-toxic byproducts) so the hangovers you get from home wines are usually… interesting, to say the least.

People need to put aside their differences to work towards a common goal, and for that there needs to be organised energetic leadership.

Yeah the numbers need edit for actually meaningful and instant change are much lower than people think.
Not everyone needs to stand up. Not even one in ten have to. 3-4 people out of a hundred is enough.
And at any given time 3-4/100 are definitely up for violent revolution. And we don’t need a violent one. All we need is properly coordination. But for that, we need to accept others.
Which is why pretty much all media can do is FUD. Fear, uncertainty, doubt.
Apathy is the greatest tool of the oppressor.

zero fucking regard for their lives
No see but these guys are smart and have high regard for their own life, but zero empathy for the feelings of others.
Yeah, I stay the fuck away from them nowadays as well. Got enough of that in my teens/early twenties. Wanted to see some “proper” UG culture and yeah, I did.
These people I’m talking about are just a part of any population. Anyone from 1/50 to 1/200 is a psyhopath, and some of them, just have no morals. I may be one too, but I do have strong morals.
I got a few death threats from a murderer’s friend some months ago, that made me take a pepper spray with me for some weeks, as I’m not in the best shape. I’m like fucking 65-70 kilos depending on the week, and that’s not tight muscle.
More of a lover and a philosopher than fighter. Criminal sure, but a not a violent one. And not a thief. But like, I sell weed in Finland, so… tehcnically…
- Comment on Where there's a violence there's a way 1 week ago:
Yeah, uhm, not to dismiss you in any way, but I know a few non-psychopathic murderers. One was my neighbour. Nicely fella. One felt a bit threatened as he questioned me about my keys to the storage place we shares where someone had stolen a half a k of meth from him. Because I had honestly lost my second key. Luckily I found it so knew ot couldn’t have anything to do with me. He made very nice food as well. Cleanest apartment I ever saw. Guy was like 55. Died some years ago. Rip.
The people I’m talking about are people who’ve no regard, no empathy, ans can do anything at the flip of a coin. Unless you’re a massive dude (and I’m ~6ft) with training in self defense and (or) have a strap (which is very rare here), those guys will make you shit your pants.

That’s why I’d like to avoid violence. Honestly. I’ll put a lot of energy into it so we can avoid it.
But if the rich assholes won’t acquiesce, there is going to be violence.

If you’re gonna be anal about it, technically “laying” could be argued to be inaccurate, (although then you’d get into the semantics about how it’s technically referring to careful putting down, and I don’t know if you could argue that for like, pigeons), but I’d definitely agree that all mammals have eggs.
