The problem I have with tests like that is that the questions have so much baked in that they aren't explaining.
oh, yeah, definitely
there were a ton of questions that took an EXTREMELY hardline stance and I clicked "agree" or "disagree" despite having massive reservations about the statement
Like the first one I got was about should victimless crimes (like drug use) be illegal.
I would say that if you are sitting on your ass collecting welfare checks while you do drugs all day, that's not exactly victimless, but it doesn't specify whether that is the situation we are considering.
That assumes a welfare state
**slaps that illegal button**
Take the welfare check out of the equation and the question becomes can you kill yourself. And the answer is yes, would you like to borrow a bullet
Fair enough
the one "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all other's we tried"
The hell is that even supposed to imply
are they being literal or
@Putz Borrow?! What kind of socialist hellhole are you trying to make!
I care about the planet and the 3rs, reduce, reuse, recycle
oh thats what the 3rs are. lol ive been doing it wrong this whole tim
Its why i believe there should be no sales tax for used items. Got to support that 2nd r, the r that is most underrated
2nd r = OPP ๐
See, it was cool in the 80s, even had its own song, now its neglected
Tho i'm kind of a fan of those.
damn, see but thats where all the fun is
i have friends who take them. ive never done them, but the thought is appealing. a mild cycle has very few (if any) adverse side effects
im a big dude, so its always fun to think about how much bigger i would be
Any time you alter something, you will create side effects (these can vary).
its more complicated than that, but my main point is that the stuff ppl freak out about with steroids really only occurs when you abuse them by taking massive dosages.
Some people need to get by with them, but i can't think of a case scenario where its advantageous to use any outside of health reasons.
How can there be a victimless crime if everyone is a victim? ๐ค
athletes. if youre career is only going to be a few years long, then theres a huge advantage to taking them. professional models and bodybuilders benefit as well. actors who need to bulk up quickly. etc
lol baseball @Salacious Swanky Cat baseball is the reason theyre illegal. moral panic and claims of "corrupting america's favorite past time"
Steroids are dangerous though
Not if administered professionally
They used to be really bad for your liver when people made them ingestible orally but properly administered intravenous steroids arenโt that bad for you
Scary
Ok though
Weโre actually seeing steroids prescribed as a means of fighting aging these days. As men grow older and their testosterone drops a myriad of negative effects follow. To combat this, doctors are prescribing exogenous hormones
@Big T I didn't say people couldn't find benefit with them, but the human body does not work as only sums of good or bad. If you create an unnatural balance for a short term gain (or even a mid term gain), you will create a problem down the road, if not in the aftermath. Its up to a person what they value more.
I got more authority than Democracy this time, possibly because I was feeling a little annoyed at some of the questions
most of my answers on these quizzes are "well, it depends on X,Y,Z"
so, i'm always in the middle because i don't know how to answer the questions
Yeah there were a few of those for me.
