I've heard the blue light thing before, but is it really that much of a thing? When we look for veins, I don't even see color anymore. It's tourniquet, squeeze, fondle your armpit, stab you.

    The blue light is a thing. And its not limited to toilets in supermarkets and hospitals. Ive seen them under some bridges as well.

    The issue though, like you said, is that most can find the vein by touch alone. And others are just so desperate, they try anyway. Giving exactly zero fucks about the blue light. Which has led some to question whether he blue lights are a good thing, or a bad idea thats going to eventually harm someone.

    Maybe it's because it's still night where I am, maybe it's because I'm on the spectrum, but those blue lights feel like an assault on my senses. I had to scroll it off my screen to type this because it made my eyes hurt. I can't imagine having to deal with that every time I have to pee in public.

    I also can't help but wonder where people go to do their makeup. I don't use makeup, but I often see others using the mirrors to touch up this or that. I can't imagine blue lights are helpful in that regard.

    sure. it's an assault on neurodivergent neurons, but did you ever consider we could make things worse for someone who's already at rock bottom? what do you think we're supposed to do? make narcan readily available and pay social workers enough to where more people are willing to go into the field and take on the mental anguish of trying to make society work? and sure! this course of action would be less expensive than maintaining the torment nexus, but you have to keep in mind, we tried building a different torment nexus that was aesthetically against the torment nexus and ever since building the torment nexus we've only been able to understand the world in binaries.
