Go in the winter, it’s not that hot, and if you stay off the strip, it’s all pretty much quiet, relaxing desert. It’s not at all what I thought it was going to be. I went to the atomic nuclear museum and it was awesome. I’m also a night owl, so it’s pretty cool to explore late night/early morning, it’s much quieter, no people really around. And although, I, too am autistic, the very logical and predictable set up of the streets and highways are super satisfying, they did good planning, and it’s pretty small, Vegas proper is so easy to get around and tiny, compared to a place, like say NYC.

[@orbittalsia674]

I feel like maybe 10/20 years ago it was true but its not the case anymore. Russia is not even at top 10 countries with the highest alcohol consumption in the world, not even in Europe. Western Europe is worse. I remember my friends moving to Germany and telling me they were in shock at the amount of alcohol Germans would consume until i moved there myself. People walking around at 11 PM on a random Tuesday with huge glasses of beers, drunk and homeless people everywhere, people staying in line at McDonalds late at night to eat a burger while being visibly intoxicated. Or Dutch men who can barely hold a conversation sober, but need to drink excessively to the point of passing out in order to have a good time. Coming from the Balkans, i thought we drank to much, but western Europe changed my mind. Sadly, western society has a huge addiction problem. I feel like in their pursuit of personal freedom and liberation they lost their families and communities, they seem very lonely and start drinking, or watching porn or buy luxurious things that they don't actually need just so they can feel less lonely and empty.

These subscriptions pile on at the end of the month to make you poorer over time. You get trapped inside that rat race trying to pay off all your expenses, staying in jobs you don't like. The system pushes you to be more greedy and get you pay for things that you don't really need, whereas in nature, nothing is paid. Everything is free.

Watching this while sipping my Dunkin donuts coffee, smoking weed, and eating processed food. I have already disconnected myself so deeply from this system and I'm still embarrassingly dependent.

RN here. Many people talk about “drug seeking” patients expecting to see some scraggly scrag asking for his Morphine but that’s not what ‘drug seeking’ has looked like since the 90’s. It looks like Barbara or William (accountants/managers/realtors) calling the clinic demanding the strongest antibiotics known to man because their throat is only ever so slightly itchy and they can’t wait to scarf down pharmaceuticals, or the diabetic patient who demands Metformin despite not seeing his primary care doc in 2yrs, doesn’t know if his blood sugars have even been okay, no diabetic retinal exam, and no vigilance of other health indicators while taking these pharmaceuticals; all they know is “I want pills and I want them now.” Needs to be studied

[@mrs.ogbuagu]

Bloodclot are you talking about?

[@kendallcagna7448]

The level of self-awareness that I have achieved through watching so many KZbin videos as astonishing

[@mikehunt4986]

I don't smoke cigarettes, I don't smoke weed, I don't vape, I don't do drugs of any kind, I don't gamble, I don't subscribe to streaming platforms (including Netflix and Spotify), and I'm not on dating apps. I do like crappy food, but at the same time I'm not obese. I think I'm doing pretty damn good after watching this incredibly depressing video.

I had this theory in my mind for a while "Addiction Economy". Thank you for making this video.

You will own nothing (and be addicted) and be happy.

I survived the 2019 Wisconsin vape crisis

[@amah91]

I was prescribed Oxy between the ages of 14-18. I had chronic migraines where I couldn’t function. I asked my pcp if there is anything that can be done other than pain pills because I didn’t like the way they made me sleep my days away. They said no sorry. I was never sent to a specialist and at 18 decided to try veganism because I saw that it helped some people online. I went vegan in 2015 and still am to this day. I have only had 2 migraines since and both were while I was pregnant (I’m guessing due to increased blood volume). These doctors need to be held accountable and stop profiting on medicating people when there are other possible solutions

[@goldenstryker6707]

That’s incredible. It really does make a world of difference when we focus on the foundation of our wellbeing instead of just treating symptoms and numbing our awareness to the actual cause of the issues.

I fortunately didn’t get pulled into the social media addiction. But I’m not perfect, I’m still trying to cut back on the amount of video games I play. Your content has seriously helped me cut back by a large amount. Truly, thank you man, you have helped me.

You were doing well and then had to bring the imaginary sky friend into it. God doesn't have to be part of a healthy life.

[@mrs.ogbuagu]

@@CyclistChrisbetter to die young with Christ, than to live a long healthy lifestyle, just to end up in hell. Where there is no breath light air or water. The energy you use to exercise with and enjoy now is borrowed from God. It’s His. Not yours. All His Grace will be stripped away from you. You will hate Him even more than I suppose.

I got off methadone, fent, crack, amphetamines, benzos, lyrica, social media, soda, and a few other things. The thing is, I still have like 3-4 addictions (vaping comes to mind). This is def an addiction economy. It's disgusting.

We are all addicted to our phones, if you say you’re not, you’re in denial 🥴 (I’m gaslighting) Once you accept it, you can begin the healing journey to minimize non-proactive phone usage and start appreciating your loved ones in the real world
