I have chopped off so many of my hands and gouged out so many of my eyes it's not even funny

I think this calls for a Reddit stare. ಠ_ಠ

You make no rules in either direction, and you're 4chan. Everyone flips, but you're not the sort of person who gives a crap.

Wait, what happened?

Most laws boil down to an excuse for some people to give orders and make threats that would be impermissible if they were just among friends, family, or coworkers. Just keep that in mind whenever you meet anyone with a uniform, badge, or official title.

I've tried occupying my mind and passions with other things. That works only temporarily and partially. I've tried chemical...

At least 30 at this point. All but four. Yeah, sure it's possible. But I've made a conscious effort not to do those things at least since I was 20, so if I'm still doing them then I don't know what I could do differently. Also, my friends tell me I'm not. And trust me, they're not the...
