Isn't it because they paralyse you and your lungs stop working?

That was bollocks though—notice how you never hear about it any more, even in countries that still go all-out for artificial colourings?

It was kids with ADHD whose sugar intake wasn't controlled. Source: am adult whose sugar intake isn't controlled.

I don't remember a damn thing. One moment there was a mask over my face and I was being asked to count backwards from ten (I think I got to about 8?), the next I woke up very bleary with a sore throat.

For a long time I thought I woke in a large room with three rows of cots. It wasn't until some years afterwards that I realised I never saw the room I awoke in.

I didn't feel high at any point, but then I have ADHD and even being shot full of morphine by a paramedic (the previous week) didn't get me high. I wuz robbed.

Actually, now you come to mention it...

I've been very lucky and haven't come close to death (yet), but I have had some dream experiences that resembled NDEs.

I tried three times to control what I dreamed about. The dreams weren't like dreams, is the best way I can put it - they were very short, very vivid, and clearly linked to the "intention" I'd requested. The second dream featured a pair of strangers trying to tell me something.

The last one, I went down a long tunnel (like a storm drain) and ran into people who, indeed, drove me out and told me I shouldn't be there. After that, I wasn't able to do it again.

Unsure if just weird dreams or if I actually got too close to something. The thing that makes me think there might be something in NDEs, tbh, is the stories palliative care nurses seem to have.

Not sure that atheism excludes belief in life after death, tbh. We're all alive right now with no god, after all.

Japanese translators hate him!

No, really, they hate him.

Too many secrets.

It is still a great movie.

Mate, you might as well complain your house is too hot because you run the heating all summer. Your insulation is working fine, you're just nerfing it by not keeping the sun out.

It's more like a tiny minority of cis women think all trans people should be shot at dawn and they get all the press, and are the only ones permitted to be acknowledged as "true women" with rights and shit—ironically.

source, am woman who really doesn't care where people piss and shit and thinks we can't get evidence on whether trans people have advantages in sport or not unless we let them, y'know, do sport

I don't wear much gold, but my glasses are gold-framed and I'm quite fond of them. They stand out in a way silver or titanium wouldn't.
