Censoring laudanum????

Fuck all posts with bullshit censorship
I mean, I doubt the people posting HERE are censoring these memes themselves. It's just a problem of transmission.
And fuck your bullshit censorship of basics like fsck (it's a joke moron, filesystem check, but also fuck). We get it, you want to swear on the internet, fine, but also let others express themselves as they see fit. You probably cope with typos, just see this the same.
I feel every fantasy people have about the past existed exclusively within the domain of the wealthy.
Wouldn't that be crazy if concurrent media were historically so disproportionately focused on the rich and powerful that they were wildly overrepresented in retrospectives? The overwhelming majority of the population, the modern day equivalent of plebs and peasants, would just be walking around imagining themselves as lords and ladies in a bygone era.
Obviously, that doesn't apply to me. I have better education and standard of living than a peasant from ages past, but you get the idea. Anyway, I have to go post about why estate taxes and welfare are bad before it's time for me to clock in.
Ope...I hear it now. Now I hear it.
Laudanum was a 10 percent solution of opium powder in alcohol, widely used to treat everything from pain and insomnia to female disorders. It was even used to quiet crying babies.
I want to have some female disorders please. Doesn’t matter if I am male or not.
Tell me you've never been to Malibu without telling me you've never been to Malibu.
Yeah, there's a pretty strong correlation between erectile dysfunction and prolonged opioid abuse.
I have read through Hercule Poirot, they constantly mention laudanum there.
That makes sense. Laudanum wasn't restricted until the 1910's and Poirot makes his debut in 1920. Prior to this it was used as a cure-all. Weirdly enough, it was still available with a prescription a few years ago and may still be now, although there are few approved uses for it.
I feel I must have done this in a previous life. I have such a deep nostalgia for living in a Victorian house by the sea with floor to ceiling doors that are opened to let the breeze in while I stroll around in a white chemise.
Yes but we need to replace the heroin with a vibrator and a cask of some extremely good wine.
Whenever my wife and I get stressed we talk about how we need to go to "THE SEA". Since we don't have the actual ocean nearby any body of water can be THE SEA.
