exotic fruits and weird vegetables I havent tried yet.

do doctor drugs/antibiotics count?

really depends on your definition of “fucked up”. try watching a Star Trek movie after you take some hallucinogens - it’s a whole new level of bizarre.

how do they enforce that? seems undoable

crave fruit juice all the time, it’s tasty

tried it for a bit. not much going on there. got bored & quit

yep. diet is huge. lower salts, eliminate sugars, eliminate processed foodstuffs

yep - especially in the news/worldnews, and all *.ml communities

sounds like hazing. that’s more of a fraternity/sorority thing - or, at least, it was when I was in school

i met a bunch of folks going to school that I’d never have met if I didnt go (different social circles). still chat with a lot of them 25+ years later.

yep. I never really paid attention to the show drama/trial. it was clear from the outset that he was guilty.

the KT impact

depends on the restaurant, each has their own vibe. most places, if you’re spending a lot they wont care if you occupy a table for half of a day. some places will and you learn to avoid them.

had it twice now:

December 2019 - everyone in my neighborhood had it and we didnt know covid was a thing. everyone was sick and felt like absolute dogshit for weeks. I used my patented method of fighting any illness - maintaining high hydration with a lot of sports drinks and soups with high concentrations of fresh vegetables, and several bottles of hotsauce (1 tbsp per hour, every hour, every day you are sick) - Iguana brand Habanero Pepper and Melindas brand Ghost Pepper usually. hotsauce makes your nose run like mad and having a lot of fluids in your body makes you not dehydrated when you’re blowing your nose 24x7.

January 2024 - I was told that the symptoms were covid. I thought it was just a flu. used my patented method and I was sick for ~4 or 5 days, and not 100% again until a week or two later.

lemmy isnt reddit - the up/down votes dont do much except indicate a number.

isn’t it a States issue now and not a Federal issue?
