There have been other pharma companies that have already had judgments against them for pushing opiods.Would a pharmaceutical company really push a product it knew to be highly addictive and often deadly? No, no – not any more than tobacco companies would push a product they knew to be highly addictive and often deadly.

I was actually thinking of posting this under Sad News. This guy was so good, successful, and likable, it almost seems like a joke. Four of their six kids are adopted, one has CP. He just became president of his company. He was an inspiration to everyone.I'd be so pissed if a wave murdered my father:
North Carolina father dies after breaking his neck at beach

Waves are jerks.

They have a gofundme page. Not sure about his insurance, but I'd bet her job was raising 6 kids.Hopefully he had life insurance and the Mrs. has a good job.
There's a lesson here. We're all going to die, so don't waste a lot of effort being wonderful.I was actually thinking of posting this under Sad News.

You've really embraced that philosophy.There's a lesson here. We're all going to die, so don't waste a lot of effort being wonderful.
I know I come off a heartless around here sometimes. Usually it's for joking purposes but this story bothered me:
I understand the backlash but don't like it. Don't have kids if you can't afford to feed them. It's really not that hard to not to have a kid. Shit, I'm super irresponsible but even in my most blacked out nights I remembered to use a freaking condom. And they cost nothing. They are cheap at Walgreen's or wherever and I'm pretty sure you can get them free at like health clinics or places like that. Worse comes to worse, there is always levonorgestrel.
And if I decided to have a kid, or if it was an accident (which I just covered how that should never happen) well then you gotta change your lifestyle to make it work. Pack a freaking PBJ lunch for the kid...don't go into debt to the school. It's crazy to me.
Now, I may be a bit more resentful about this than usual. I mentioned a breakup a week or two ago and discussions about a possible family were kinda (among other major issues) at the heart of it. I like my carefree lifestyle and don't wan't the major life change that would involve...even if it's down the road a few years I wasn't going to commit to anything disingenuously. I like going to Disney by myself whenever I choose or going out at night with no worries. I don't want to have to save all year for a 1 week trip or feel guilty if I don't get home after work right away. Shit man, I constantly worry about my cat, having a little human to take care of would give me an aneurysm. Well, fuck...I guess I'm talking about it. The fact I live with my dad these days didn't help either. I have a condo that sits empty most weeks and some people might have thought that was crazy seeing how the old man is already in a retirement community.
I'm clearly over it. Can't you all tell?
Anyway back to the point. Feed your kids.
