I think Thats not true cuz what If Someone ist alergic?
criggie
Agreed - I don't mind cheap vanilla, but cheap choc is bletcherous.
CatsUpvoteTerror
Artificial vanilla is actually pretty good compare to horrible artificial chocolate
CatsUpvoteTerror
It's because cheap chocolate uses artificial chocolate which is horrible.
SkeletonRecruiter
Yes. I never understood why other kids went ape-shit for it. I'd ask for anything BUT chocolate, and got laughed at for having taste buds.
CatsUpvoteTerror
Chocolate is such a pedestrian flavor. What a boor.

I already lose sleep thinking how insignificant we are in the universe. We are smaller than a speck of dust.
SetPriorityChaos
Well... really dust still impacts its surroundings... we'll probably be consumed by the sun before we interact significantly with anything.
keenidiot
Space is vast and full of strange and wonderful things. It's humbling and terrifying to know how little of consequence we are on that scale.
keenidiot
Yet at the same time, we posses minds that can contemplate and understand that vastness, and send ourselves and our machines to explore it.

Not awful, just pointing it out .

Not good judge. If I pay you to write a song and you just remake something you wrote but no longer own, you should lose the case.

Break the wrist...walk away...
EternalMydnyt
Yea it’s concidered a controlled substance in most places. Make sure you can afford to be relativly nonfunctional the next day at first.
EternalMydnyt
Ambien can really knock you for a loop at first and it effects everyone differently
cutebunnies
Its not supposed to be taken for more then a few days. Highly addictive.
DarkSock
...so I’m sure it’d make a comatose person stand up, yeet out a vast grey turd, then fall back into it & make poop angels on the linoleum...
MileHighLivin
I think I'd be pretty stoked, if that was the last thing my loved one did.
eigeress
My dad stayed awake all night on Ambien, mumbling like he was a football sideline reporter, and not doing too badly. Like a zombie drug.

I sleep walk at night and garden. I don’t have a garden, apparently I just dig in the dirt outside.

It was lowest dosage ambien. Not even sure if there is a stronger dose. Never took another but i still have the mental scars

Some people claim it makes them tweet real racist bullshit.

I dunno if it made her do that. But I’ve done some crazy shit on ambien that isn’t in the norm for me. Never anything like her bs though

My 91 y.o. grandma has been addicted to ambien since 1994. She's done some crazy shit.

Ambien made me make a racist tweet and get fired from a sitcom

This makes me think of brain dead people are just people without any stimulus going on in their brain can’t we just give them psychedelics?

Think about it if ambien gave them that much of a reaction waking them up, then what would shrooms, ibogane, or salvia divanorum do ?2/2

The US CIA tried giving unaware people that once....

I know, but I’m talking about people in vegetative states,& brain dead people that are on life support that could be taken off any day

Took Ambien once. Woke up with a new, not too bad hair cut that I cut myself. Couldn't find any hair anywhere in the bathroom. Never again.

I used haircutting scissors to rip a hole in my leg while chanting. I'd much prefer to have cut my hair.

Ambien made me crawl underneath chairs and curl up. When my wife asked what I was doing I told her I had the ability to fit inside perfectly

My girl takes advantage of me on ambien for her own amusement, it seems I'll say to her anything, with no filter and always the truth ->

she just asks me thinks for the laughs and she said that never nothing really serious. Once she recorded me saying how much I hated one ->

of her friends and why. She was laughing like it was some stand up beat. Last time she did it was four days ago... Valentine's, and ->
singedrino
I must admit it was a good question and it seems to me I gave a good answer. She asked why I don't say "I love you" more often ->

I said something like "because nothing says I love you like muscular pain on your body and pain on your ass by hours of sex" ->
