"But Rachel also has another hobby, one that makes her a bit different from the other moms in her Texas suburb—not that she talks about it with them. Once a month or so, after she and her husband put the kids to bed, Rachel texts her in-laws—who live just down the street—to make sure they’re home and available in the event of an emergency.

“And then, Rachel takes a generous dose of magic mushrooms, or sometimes MDMA, and—there’s really no other way to say this— spends the next several hours tripping balls.”

    They have excited a desire for to the this conversation to end. At this point, your borderline harassing them. Please let it go.

      Fair enough.

      Just really irks me when someone pretends like they “won” the debate while leaving.

      “Don’t play chess with a pigeon. They will just shit on the board and knock over pieces.”

      And it irks me because I really had faith in him, and now the blindly ignorant hypocrisy they’ve displayed here has basically ruined one of the biggest posters on Lemmy for me. Eh. Too bad.

      Thanks for the warning instead of just banning, that’s some good modding. I respect that.

      “I declare I have won the debate. Goodbye.”

      Nah. It’s fair enough to call them out on their bullshit.

      Leaving one comment is not harassment. And if they really feel harassed, the block function is always available.

      All I wanted was a one word answer to whether smoking causes cancer/death. Apparently a dozen long-winded comments about stuff I was never talking about in the first place was easier.
