This is uncanny.  I said fuck it and timed the commercials.  They are almost precisely 10 minutes apart (+/- 30 seconds), and there are exactly 1 per commercial break, last commercial, 6 per hour.

The level of saturation is HUGE.  The Koch Brothers must be spending a few hundred thousand in Southern Arizona alone.

That's horrifying. I don't envy you.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

I just found out there's naegleria fowleri in the Colorado river.

Where we get our drinking water.

:banana:

Just don't swim in the Colorado river and you'll be fine.

Don't ruin the magic, Nigel.

Oar, always remember to pack some Thorazine with that towel :horrormirth:

Well, thanks for acknowledging my existence.  I thought I turned invisible or some shit.

But if I was going to drug myself out of knowing my brain was being eaten by amoebas, I'd go whole hog and shoot heroin.
I totally respect your pursuit of peak experience, it's just that the Thorazine, this time, has been shown to TREAT REAL (vs. metaphorical) brain bugs :eek:

Not naegleria fowleri.  The only treatment that seems to work is Miltefosine.  And it fucks your shit.

Is this happening elsewhere in the states?  It must be, though we'd be a heavy target, alongside Florida.

We probably aren't watching the right channels, but I'm not seeing one bit of it.

They're probably targetted ads.

Targetting you specifically.

Targeting retirees.

Arizona, like Florida, is a retirement state.  Retirees are one of the fastest growing demographics, and they are the ones most concerned with the state of their healthcare.

The level of scare-mongering in these ads is intense.

Totally, it's not naegeleria fowleri, still:

QuoteWhile miltefosine had therapeutic effects during an in vivo study in mice, chlorpromazine (Thorazine) showed to be the most effective substance – the authors concluded: "Chlorpromazine had the best therapeutic activity against N. fowleri in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, it may be a more useful therapeutic agent for the treatment of PAME than amphotericin B."[17]

The above isn't bitching at other people.  It's me realizing that I'm posting just as people leave.

And I'm talking to myself again.

I need to get out of here.

Thing is, your post is still gonna be there when everybody comes back to read. And perhaps respond. It's one of the many benefits of the forum format over Facebook; you don't miss out on posts because you weren't there when they were posted.

My friend's brother died last Friday suddenly, at home, at 31. The funeral service has a memory book to sign online, which I did, and most of the energy I would have spent on Necronomicoin today I spent on that. They also have a Life Images section. If you click on it, it reads, I shit you not, Slide 1 of Infinity.

The slide is completely black.

I think writing existential horror is fucking up my brain because that is the scariest goddamn thing.

:aaa:

That's. Kinda twisted. And kinda awesome.

That's extremely interesting, because they wouldn't put that much money into convincing people if they didn't really REALLY think it's going to take a lot of convincing. Which is actually the first solid evidence I've seen that perhaps the ACA is working out pretty well for a lot of people.
