Brain chemistry snippet. Heard a short piece on BBC radio about Parkinson's medication causing weird side effects. One was uncontrallable gambling addiction. So regular, family guy in his 60s suddenly develops an irresistible addiction to online gambling and ruins the family's finances and loses their house. Another side effect of the medication is that it causes uncontrallable sex arousal and addiction. Tales of guys in their 70s pestering their wives for sex, visiting prostitutes and hooked on online porn. I know it sounds like the set up to a punchline but it's true.

Yeah, you're probably thinking of Dopamine dysregulation syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_dysregulation_syndrome quote:The most common symptom is craving for dopaminergic medication. However other behavioral symptoms can appear independently of craving or co-occur with it.[4] Craving is an intense impulse of the subject to obtain medication even in the absence of symptoms that indicate its intake.[4] To fulfill this need the person will self-administer extra doses. When self-administration is not possible, aggressive outbursts or the use of strategies such as symptom simulation or bribery to access additional medication can also appear.[4]

Phyzzle posted:So . . . Parkinson drugs are basically cocaine? Dopamine is crazy poo poo. It's a neurotransmitter that controls or regulates a ton of different functions, one of which is reward-motivated behavior. Parkinson's is caused by a problem with dopamine production or allocation so treatment requires medication that counteracts that. This of course means that the meds could also gently caress up the reward pathway, leading to those issues. The scary part is that you're right to some extent. Highly addictive drugs such as cocaine interfere with reward chemistry in a similar way.

Tales of guys in their 70s pestering their wives for sex, visiting prostitutes and hooked on online porn. This happened to a family friend. She was diagnosed with Parkinson's and prescribed this medication. The side effects most commonly manifest as gambling addiction, but she was in school at the time and they didn't realize it was an issue until she was doing homework and studying 22 hours a day. She's married and has children and literally ignored everything in her life other than school work until she went off the medication.

Back to the 'reform school'/child torture centers for a minute, here's a tremendously aggravating article by a woman who literally drugged her daughter unconscious and paid $16k for total strangers to drag her from their house and hold her captive at a bootcamp in the Utah desert for a month and a half, explaining how this was totally morally correct and the best decision she ever made, and how it saved her daughter from a life of delinquency and/or being a hair stylist. quote:On a weekend visit, it struck me how much he’d changed and how my daughter would benefit from the same intensive treatment. quote:We hugged and cried. She was back to the daughter I knew, the one without the attitude.

quote:Both my kids joke that I’m a psycho mom, but they forgave me and we remain close. Holy poo poo that woman is delusional if she thinks they're joking. That article is more about a woman justifying her personality disorder than "helping" her children. She doesn't seem to realize moving across the country and sending her son off to boarding school could possibly have made her daughter change her attitude. poo poo like this makes me shudder, how can she actually live with herself without a delusional mental illness? fizzymercury has a new favorite as of 16:30 on May 31, 2016 |

Jedit posted:What do you think would happen in the US if you walked through a Jewish area wearing a t-shirt that read "Kikes did 9/11, bring back the gas chambers"? You would not legally be arrested, and if you were arrested you'd have cause for a massive civil rights lawsuit because you're engaged in clearly protected speech. Brandenburg v. Ohio. It's not even a close call, it's a clearly established right and you could sue even the individual cops who arrested you and they wouldn't have any immunity. You might be assaulted, but then the cops would arrest the people who assaulted you for breaking the law, not you for making other people distressed or angry. http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2016/05/antigay-preacher-carrying-deserve-rape-sign-gets-hit-bat/ Phanatic has a new favorite as of 18:51 on May 31, 2016 |

I'm not even sure that's a good analogy, that has some sort of political agenda whereas this guy is basically just lolling at a bunch of people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time and happened to like a football team he didn't. It's more like laughing at people who died in a plane explosion, or a tornado. It's pathetic. I'm not entirely certain he should have been ARRESTED for wearing it, but it is pretty mean and unpleasant thing to walk around wearing. It looks like he has a toxic online presence anyway, quite the piece of work. I posted it mainly because Hillsborough comes up fairly frequently on this thread, and anyone who has read survivor accounts or seen the '30 for 30' documentary would probably agree that it is a pointlessly nasty thing to put on a t-shirt.

I guess you *might* be able to make a case that the shirt in your hypothetical is calling for violent action against Jewish people, which would not be protected speech. But that sounds like a pretty hard sell.

The scary thing to me is the crowdsourced revenge because of how prevalent similar shirts are in the US and how crowdsourcing can fail miserably, like with the Boston Marathon bombing.

It's my fault for checking out a book called "Death in Yellowstone," but this is one of the more disturbing deaths I've read about.quote:It is a mystery why anyone would dive head first into a Yellowstone hot spring merely to save a dog, but that is precisely what happened on July 20, 1981. David Allen Kirwan, 24, of La Canada, California and his friend Ronald Ratliff, 25, of Thousand Oaks, parked their truck at Yellowstone's Fountain Paint Pot parking lot at around one o'clock that afternoon. While the men looked at the hot springs, Ratliff's dog "Moosie," a large mastiff or great dane, escaped from the vehicle and jumped into nearby Celestine Pool, a hot spring later measured at 202 degrees fahrenheit. The dog began yelping, and someone nearby quipped, "Oh, look, the poor thing!" I mean, it's an incredibly stupid, self-induced death (Heroic attempted rescue of friend's dog aside, why would anyone dive into boiling water, much less HEAD-FIRST?), but good god, there's something about going blind before dying that is that much more horrifying.

Some of it's tough to read, but people get creative about dying out there. ETA: As to why, people just don't comprehend how hot it is. We're not used to scalding hot water coming out of the ground, and people don't understand the danger. Bonster has a new favorite as of 00:45 on Jun 1, 2016 |

Reminds me of the documentay "Kidnapped for Christ". Essentially, parents sign up for their kids to be dragged from their beds at night and flown to a private island where Jesus camp poo poo goes down. Highly recommended, for the unnerving factor.
