I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought "why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff," so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It's alright if you can't because apparently I fuckin couldn't either
Cutting something out of your life because you think you don't need it any more only to realize that it was in fact working as intended and preventing a problem that will return should you stop doing this is a good experiment to run periodically with something small like dandruff shampoo, lest you start to think it would be a good idea to do this with like let's say public health and the social safety net and vaccines
I had a liver transplant when I was 14 and like six months later I was chatting with my surgeon and he said āthereās gonna come a time, probably when youāre a teenager, where youāre gonna think, āI feel great, why am I still taking all this medication? I havenāt needed it in years.ā and youāre gonna want to stop taking all this medication. Guess whatās gonna happen then? Youāre gonna go into rejection and your liver is gonna start failing, and youāre gonna be dying again, and weāre gonna have to find you another liver. So donāt do that.ā And I said āwhy the fuck would anyone do that?ā and he said āpeople are stupid.ā
every once in a while when I get annoyed by a pharmacy or donāt wanna get out of bed to do my drugs I think āugh, this is dumb, why do I do this?ā and that conversation slams into me like a truck and I remember that I am, in fact, stupid
