That's the thing. They're not saying they're stopping the retaliatory tariffs. They're still going to implement them, but they're giving Trump an out (which he won't take)

Idk if you've taken econ 101, but losing 500,000,000 customers is usually something you feel.

They aren't, though. The whole reason Trump is crashing the economy is so his rich donors can buy up everything for cheap

Because they're a shit company

I'm pretty resistant to stimulants, but I have ADHD so that skews this.

I straight up told mine I require significantly more anesthesia because of my genetics. He made the incision, asked if I felt it, I said yes, then he started.

I did find out that I have an enormous pain tolerance, though. Fortunately the recovery was a breeze, so I guess I speed ran the pain.

For a time, at least.

I woke up during my colonoscopy. I distinctly remember asking for more anesthesia, and them telling me I already had the max.

There are 100% people with a gene that makes them metabolize anesthesia super rapidly, myself included. It's linked to the gene for red hair, but red hair isn't a requirement (I have it and I'm not a redhead, although my mom is).

I've 100% woken up during surgeries I should not have been conscious for, because the anesthesiologist didn't believe me. Those include a pediatric colonoscopy, surgery to set a broken arm, my TEE (I was conscious, but in twilight sleep. Took 3 vials of versed and I still remember it), and my septoplasty.

And it's not just general anesthesia either. It takes a fuck load of local anesthesia for me to feel it. My last filling they had to give me so much it paralyzed half my face for a while. Also, I wish my urologist had believed me when I said I wasn't numb for my vasectomy.

Claiming there will be no withdrawal symptoms when taking it properly is factually incorrect.

Just because you didn't experience them doesn't mean others won't. They might not be at the level of meth withdrawals, but they definitely exist.

He does, because he sees the world as a zero sum game. For him to prosper, others have to suffer.

That would require me being able to find anything in my rats nest of an office.
