Lame-ass British anti-marijuana ad

Lucidium says...

I can't wait for the follow up advert about alcohol, where the party with [Sociable] and [Relaxed] gets crashed by [Angry], [Violent], [Clumsy], [Nausea], [Memory Loss], [Cirrhosis], [Vomiting], [Depression] and [Death].

And then we're reminded to drink responsibly.

Ex-Pharmaceutical Rep. Speaks Out

garmachi says...

I was prescribed Zoloft by my doctor after having a single panic attack (in the middle of a perfectly boring non-stressful day too). It actually made me feel pretty good and sociable for quite a while, almost unusually so. Then, after a couple event-free months I lost my entire supply, or rather I should say Delta airlines lost my luggage, into which I had stupidly packed my entire supply. Little did I know that quitting Zoloft "cold turkey" would bring about terrible symptoms of physical withdrawal. I wanted to (but thankfully did not follow up on the urge to) punch myself in the temples to get at whatever was causing the awful pain in my head.

I camped out at the Doctors office for some samples, and spent the next two weeks gradually ramping down to ease out of what had apparently become a physical dependence.

I can't imagine quitting "cold turkey" and then immediately switching to something else. I would have gone crazy. No joke.

In the end it turns out that my initial panic attack was a fluke. Thirty some years without ever having one... Then, having one. Then, never having another one. I think I may have just hated my job.

Yes, the serval can have the top bunk

A serval is not domesticatable. They are real wild animals, and just like lions and tigers, while they can be very sociable when they are in the right mood, they can hurt you badly. I suspect there are things in the nature channel at least as inappropriate as this totally wild animal that is failing to hurt anyone this minute as it is in a house (I checked and there are zoo animals, and of all things, pigeons in the nature channel--this cat being on a bed is equivalent to a bear being on that bed). Not that I care about the channels you put this video in, but that it seems you are thinking that Serval is a pet. No matter what that woman thinks, it is not a pet. When I went to college there was a guy who brought his "pet" lion to class. Seriously. Equivalent situation.

Servals can behave well for short periods, and on the african continent, keeping an orphaned kitten serval was easy--for a while. A bit like how easy and cute baby racoons are in the US--until they get a bit older and gut your furniture for you. All of the smaller cats can interbreed with domestic cats, and the resulting hybrids have certain personality traits and instincts, and they vary with how sociable they are. Serval hybrids become "diluted" very quickly and are very sociable and box-trainable even at the earliest generation. Other felid hybrids come from Asian Leopard Cats, Margays Jungle Cats, Indian Desert Cats, Geoffroy's Cats, and European WIld cats. All those cats are wild, wild, wild. They can just breed with domestic cats (producing infertile males and fertile females) the same way wolves can breed with dogs.

I have cats that are part-serval, but they are not servals--not at all. My cats are very gentle and behave like domestic cats that got a bit of a brain transplant from a terrier (dog). If I were to have a serval, I would need a license, a cage, and all the other stuff you need for keeping a wild animal of any kind.

Don't let the cuteness of the serval fool you: it's a wild animal. Period.

Educating Rudy

the looped 'woo' applaud track at the end is funny.

libertarians can seem like the hippy's older, somewhat-less sociable brother, who has an engineering degree, writes a lot of C++ and goes bow hunting for deer.
