I don’t have to worry about "chemicals you can’t pronounce" in my food and my shampoo because I can pronounce every chemical flawlessly and without effort. Butylated hydroxytoluene. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Fenugreek. I am saying these out loud and laughing at you. I’m immune to all known carcinogens. I can never die. Fight me.

op how on earth did you obtain a direct telepathic link to my brain

You have got to be shitting me rn
The "drugs in Halloween candy" scares make absolutely no sense from an empirical perspective, and imo they imply a bizarre and utterly fact-free way of thinking about the world. Like flat earth, they're not an actual fact external to the observer, but a projection of an internal emotional certainty into the world. For flat earth, that internal certainty is "the Establishment is lying and only Christians have the truth"; for Halloween candy having drugs in it, it's "the world is full of Bad Things and Bad People that are out to infiltrate my home and corrupt my children."
That's the only way that claim can sound plausible. The people who believe it have to think of people who have drugs as a malicious, alien monolith, or they would notice that drugs are expensive! In the real world, no one who had heroin or fentanyl or weed would give them away for free, especially to strange children. But in the magical realism world these people think they live in, drugs are Bad, and the Forces of Evil will try to trick your children into consuming the Bad Thing, which will damage them forever and turn them into Bad People too.
learning that self depreciation isnt cool and just makes the people around you uncomfortable unironically improved my mental health a lot. like if you just stop saying negative shit about yourself you will genuinely like yourself more and other people wont be repulsed by your attitude and you will have more friends. it's true.
It's been 15 years since one of the best scenes of Doctor Who 😭😭
