For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Summary: Someone who has severely damaged their bladder from long-term, heavy ketamine and drug use could be at increased risk for bladder cancer, although such cases are still rare and not definitively proven. The best way to reduce this risk is to stop ketamine use, as some bladder damage may be reversible if caught early. However, if the damage is extensive, the risk of serious complications, including cancer, is higher
So the damage is that the bladder shrinks and it becomes painful to pee, you gotta pee all the time because the bladder is smaller and you can damage your kidneys and get cancer!
I'm glad we're all getting cancer before our 70's retirement age.
Anyway why was Felon using ketamine? Its an antidepressant and causes suicidal thoughts. Its great stuff! We'll have to stay plugged to see what develops from this.
Some people have ASD and ADHD, some people have ASD and OCR, some people have ASD and BAD, and many other combinations.
So - with ASD and BAD antidepressants are a no. With ASD and ADHD - I dunno, maybe. Except it may sometimes be easy to mix up ASD+BAD and ASD+ADHD. With ASD and other stuff - yes, they sometimes prescribe ketamine.
We know Elon has ASD.
BTW, to say something in Elon's defense, about claims of "people knowing him in the 90s saying he was writing bullshit code when he supposedly could program", or any other claims, with ASD all this should be taken very critically, because people with ASD usually have an exclusive choice between being competent and appearing competent in any particular situation.
Since "appearing competent" relies on another person's idea what a competent person will consider a most obvious choice, or what will be their first thought, or how quick will be their response, or which weights they'll assign to possible solutions, or how confident they will be, and all these are very different with ASD. When you have ASD, colleagues either consider you a genius or an idiot, and usually both are based on logically wrong conclusions. With ADHD or BAD this is even worse.
So - yeah, let's not press Elon too much.
Though I should say doing a Nazi salute on live TV wasn't the best of his ideas.
Oh yeah I remember that part of the Nuremberg where they just acquitted all the crimes against humanity for the people with ASD.
He's a nazi, fuck off.
At the Nuremberg trials actual crimes were addressed, as in killing people in various ways, torturing, humiliating and robbing them before that.
If you can call someone who hasn't done that a Nazi, equating them to those who sat at the Nuremberg trials, then you are an irresponsible person.
Also how can a person with any kind of dignity do that is beyond me. Not being liked by you is not a crime at all, let alone one comparable to Nazi ones.
Yeah this administration has no blood on its hands whatsoever.
Again, fuck off.
I'm trying to explain why you're a jerk to you, so that you could fix it some day, before fucking off.
I'm the jerk? Hahaha, you are defending a nazi.
Defending anyone is fine.
