    Ask your doctor about Valium™

      I asked for a couple of doses of Valium when I had an 18h flight (Taiwan). I drank at the airport bar before boarding. I was so out of it when we landed that my partner had to tell me what to do. If there had been an emergency procedure I would have died for sure, but at least I wouldn’t have been panicked about it.

          Visiting a partner’s mother but also getting introduced to the country. Well, Taipei and places within driving distance. Incredible place. Spotlessly clean. Everyone was very welcoming. How about you?

            A new partner I had impulse invited me and I figured whether that went good or bad it would be interesting. We didn’t have much of a plan but spent a week running around anywhere that sounded interesting to us. Jiufen and Taroko Gorge were my favorite parts, and seeing how walkable cities can be

            People there are so nice right? That stunned me just how kind and helpful people were

              I asked a guy at a music shop how he liked a software licensing system that used a USB key. It was plugged into his laptop. He offered to let me take it and try it out. I was like, “No, man, that’s yours.”

              In a shoe shop, I asked to try on a pair in my size. When the employee didn’t come back, my partner asked what was happening and it turned out they didn’t have my size. She was going to other shoe stores on the strip asking if they had my size.

              The degree of trust and customer service is unlike anything I’ve experienced in my life. Granted, Taiwan and Canada are the only countries I’ve been to outside USA. But it really struck me.

        Thanks for being a fuckwit where your body may have blocked others.

        Same energy as driving drunk

        Downvotes from equally inconsiderate buffoons. Don’t be so altered in public that you are a danger to others.

          This was my first thought reading their comment.

          It’s something I hadn’t even considered.

          You’re a garbage human. Plane crashes it doesn’t matter at all if she’s out of it

            Childish. There are many emergencies other than a straight up crash where evacuation is important.

                You’re Literally projecting.

                The whole point is not to endanger others by being so altered you can’t respond. That’s unsafe, for others.

                  ermagerd, you might have to step over a corpse. Anyone that has a habit of listing other’s behavior as affecting his safety doesn’t deserve safety at all, you may have heard that one before. People always seem to misunderstand the point though. Other people’s behavior will always attempt to affect your safety. You just don’t let it, and you don’t solve it by whining.

                    What? Your logic falls apart when considering something like drunk driving, or, blocking a fire escape. You think describing drunk driving as bad behavior is inappropriate? That’s other people’s behavior. What about sexual assault? That is someone else’s behavior. Both have directly affected me. Am I not permitted to be critical of that?

                    You are acting like a shopping cart not putter awayer, a public transit loud music player, or a big shit no flusher. Or, more seriously, you are defending casual drunk driving

                    Edit: on topic: Being massively altered on public transport is objectively damaging to others
