    Oh wow quite a few broken thoughts there.

    I know, I’m a bit sensitive when it comes to people telling me essentially “you haven’t tried hard enough.”

    Anyway, the one childhood friend who was a man-kebab, that dude didn’t invite me to his wedding with a bitch who was equally or more an abuser of alcohol and they didn’t because was vocally for the legalisation of weed.

    If you lived here, your worst 3 days is something common for people

    Homelessness is common sure. But staying awake for three days while sober, shitting the eherloving shit out of yourself while eating your fingers until they literally bleed and then proceed to paint with your own blood for 70+ hours is… common in the US? And you don’t think that could be a bit offensive to me, dismissing literal torture I went through? (Sleep deprivation is torture, not to mention anything about closing off the water and not giving me my prescription meds.)

    But hey, you’re not victimblaming, just dismissing it. So it’s still not as bad as literally every Finnish person I know.

      Yes that’s literally just something that happens to people. Yes, it’s definitionally torture… But it’s normal here. Normally, people paint the walls in shit, but blood is far from unheard of

        I feel like a good analogy for you diamissing me like that would be something like you dismissing Wolverine as “not understanding pain, because he has a healing factor”.

        I can see the logic in that, but I just don’t agree with the sentiment

        Yeah in a country of hundreds of millions.

        But to pretend it’s “common” is taking the piss. Either your being extremely offensive or very ignorant. I can’t decide which.

        But it’s normal here.

        No it fucking isn’t. Nothing about that is normal. Sure, you can find examples of nastier shit going on in county jails, but to pretend like it’s “common” shows that you have absolutely no connection to actual criminals. Unlike me. (I’m a professional one, in case that wasn’t clear.)

        It’s not even something most people are capable of. I have had a high BP since I was a kid due to a congenital kidney thing. (I had extra organs and then had to go through several major surgeries.) My pediatrician told me at 18 that I’ve the BP of an “80-year old woman”.

        Most people will just fall asleep automatically after aome ~26-30 hours. People have a hard time staying up 72 hours even when theyre doing pharmaceutical grade stimulants.

        My body is essentially just overclocked. And that’s why it crashes as well. I can’t get to sleep for days then eventually I might find myself on the bathroom floor on top of broken glass, or in an ambulance or at the ER.

        But you, just like Finns, just have to actively dismiss anything I say, even though you’re having to say ridiculous, untrue shit like that.

        The average person during an average night in a jail definitely doesn’t stay up all night, let alone three nights, let alone literally eating themselves. Have you ever tried biting yourself hard enough to draw blood?

        No OF COURSE you haven’t, because it’s NOT COMMON OR NORMAL IN THE SLIGHTEST.
