Wow. Just… wow. A huge number of people all over the world struggle with addictions and go as far as committing suicide without ever seeking help due to the shame & prejudices associated with them, and your response is “those people are morons”.
Wow.

How do you know it came on suddenly? The article says:
Within two years of beginning to take the drug the married father-of-two says he developed an uncontrollable passion for gay sex and gambling - at one point even selling his children’s toys to fund his addiction.
“Within two years” implies that it developed over this time frame. That’s anything but sudden, especially since it most likely started off with sporadic impulses and got more intense over time - how addictions usually go.

Do you really think the average person would think “oh, surely there’s a straightforward medical explanation” instead of being ashamed & hiding the issue? Especially if they weren’t informed of this being a side effect of their medication?

I’m sure that would work, but giving weed to people who are still developing is not acceptable, even for religious purposes.

It does in-universe, but out-of-universe it came later & is less recognizable than SCP.

Interesting, I didn’t know that! Though honestly the perfect description.

I get it for most of those, but SCP isn’t really an abbreviation.

- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 1 week ago:
Not sure if it’s my absolute favorite, but Pathologic has fascinated me for years.
There are so many strange and unique aspects to the world (especially the Polyhedron, an impossible tower floating above the town) that already make for excellent world building, but when they come together it creates a feeling I haven’t felt from any other world.
You know how Lovecraftian horror has a very distinct feeling? The world of Pathologic makes me feel something vaguely similar, but completely unique - no horror or aliens, but the feeling of powers existing far beyond our understanding combined with people who somehow do understand small parts, and the consequences of their choices affecting everyone… it’s really hard to put into words, but it feels like it created its own genre.

(3/3) If there’s a big jump, it’s from them manually dumping urine from a separate tank that wasn’t connected (likely from the Russian side that doesn’t have its own urine recycling).

Understandable. If I’ve learned one thing in my time on this earth, it’s that any words that contain more vocals than consonants spell trouble.

Lucky! I had to try more than ten times due to unlucky behavior in the waves before the boss, and finally managed to win only by using tools.

Most runbacks aren’t too bad, but fuck the Bilewater one. That shit was too hard and annoying. I had less trouble with the First Sinner than that boss.
