America will kill your mother to sell hamburgers in ridiculously unsanitary conditions as long as the owner gets paid. My hatred for this country is killing me.

Totes agree but I think the difference for me emotionally is that I view the reality of our country and reality in general as a surreal approximation of a real universe that everyone around us transforms into whatever universe they need in order to make it through the next day while ignoring what makes their lives inconvenient. I view your view of this universe as a dark inverse of this where you interpret everything around you in a way that allows you to feel all your hatred and bitterness. I don't know how I view this universe but it's probably closer to your view than most of the people around me. If there's a difference I think it's that I welcome the surreal nonsense reality even if I can't handle it just so that I can high five it while losing my mind.

It was like having hot motor oil with metal shavings in your lungs. Definitely fever and chills too, but the symptoms vary depending on how strong your immune system is.

No tips really other than hoping your immune system can fight it. That's all anyone has for it at this point, and if your immune system can't do it's job normally, you need to get to an ER so they can use what they've learned about it to help you.

Keep in mind I'm a 53 year old with a long history of smoking and drug abuse. I consider myself fortunate that I decided to try and get healthy a few years back.

@bat

Your hate will be more direct, clear, and visceral before this is over

The poor are and will continue to suffer the most.

I don't know, dude. It's pretty easy to see how the world ****s on everyone, but the ways in which it's all a hilarious farce are pretty engaging.

I mean we have a president who's a used car salesman and yet the obviousness of it makes you wonder just how stupid everyone must be that he can be taken seriously enough to be elected. I have family members who support him. My own mother, my family's traditional leftist, the person who gave me much of my leftist views, turned out to be a Trump voter. How can I view her as exactly the kind of person I mock? Well I can't. But that doesn't make her any less of a pathetic rube. So the world is terrible but also hilarious.

You never know how other people are going to react to things but if this thing works its way into your mother’s lungs and you know damn well it could’ve been prevented I don’t think there would be any absurd humor left in your perspective.

And I swear to you dude, I hope deeply to my core that doesn’t happen.
