That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

I have done heroin and I always thought that saying was dumb. Later I’d tell the kids I mentored in a drugs and alcohol program that what doesn’t kill you will likely leave you scarred, weaker, and/or in pain for the rest of your life.
I’m a big fan of try anything once though, probably how I got addicted to drugs in the first place. Not like ANYTHING, but like anything fun that isn’t fatal most of the time.
People who unironically use that phrase are simpletons.
You either die from it or find the strength to overcome the addiction? Staying clean from heroin does require a lot of it
I know technically you're right. But if you managed to come out the other end, as in, kick the addiction... Mentally the experience would probably toughen you up.
I know one person that managed to kick heroin about 10 years ago now. They are one of the most head strong people I know now, with an enormous amount of drive to continuously improve their own life (they have since started a family, got a career, and just purchased a home recently).
In their case, I would definitely say 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' holds true
Dude. Can you fight dragons without heroin? I think not.
I've always gone with "whatever doesn't kill you makes you weaker and easier for the next thing to kill"
Like forget heroin, have they heard of polio?
After my double arm amputation I developed incredibly strong telekinetic powers to compensate... ymmv ofc
You don't get the saying. If you do heroin it kills you. Like even literally.
If you can overcome the addiction, you will eventually come out stronger.
It's not meant to be applied on an actionable scale, but rather on a strategic one. Kind of like "learn from your failures."
Either it kills them eventually or they find the strength to overcome it. Still fits.
I assume those who do heroin do consider this, so yes.
It worked for RFK Jr
I know it is patently untrue. My uncle died doing steroids.
"doesn't"
It's what the powerful say to the weak to convince them their suffering is somehow good for them.
i thought heroin makes you stronger temporarily. maybe an addict.
How about losing an arm..... Or both? Can't see that making anyone stronger.
In one way ofc. But on another way you have to make yourself stronger if you want to keep surviving after that.
I don't necesarilly mean physically.
Heroin kills you, though.
How about Alzheimer’s?
you can't survive it tho-
That's a disease not a choice....I welcome the downvotes lmao
