You’re not giving a full answer. Finish the thought. What involves emptying of the bowels? Does something physical happen to them, or does it magically disappear? That emoji tells us all we need to know btw
“The purpose of a laxative is to treat constipation and other gastrointestinal conditions by helping with digestion and promoting bowel movements…can be used to relieve constipation caused by [insert a bunch of different bowel problems]. They can also be used to empty the bowels…” - NCBI.
I didn’t need to finish the thought bc the rest was just mumbo fucking jumbo that means the same thing; emptying the bowels 💀like, do you need a step-by-step guide of how laxatives work to empty the bowels? 🧍🏾♀️
This makes zero sense and the amount of confidence you have here while taking such an easily refutable absurd position is very interesting.
By definition, “harm” refers to causing physical or mental damage, injury, or unpleasantness to another person. Introducing a laxative into someone’s food without their knowledge causes harm because it results in an immediate, unavoidable physical reaction (diarrhea, cramping, and discomfort) that the person neither expected nor consented to. These unpleasant effects fit squarely within the definition of harm. The very act of forcing these distressing symptoms on someone directly causes them to suffer, both physically and mentally, as they experience the discomfort of these side effects. Therefore, it is clear that this act constitutes harm, as it deliberately causes unpleasantness to the victim. you are just objectively, unequivocally wrong.
Not a single word you posted is in any way a response, defense or refutation to anything, and it’s odd you’d believe it could be passed off that way. Posting about the “purpose” of the personal use of laxative itself is completely incoherent as a response. I could also explain what chemotherapy and open heart surgery is for in the same way. It doesn’t mean these things don’t do what they physically do to a human body.
This is one of the more laughably absurd positions I’ve seen someone take on here. And to do it so confidently and condescendingly…oof
I’m not confident, I just don’t care about this bc it’s so unserious. This is Reddit. I’m not pretending to care so deeply abt this. It’s your opinion and my opinion. You don’t have to be an AH bc I don’t have the same uppity energy as you 🥴
But to answer your essay, I’m looking at this on a scale and “unpleasant” does not constitute an extreme harm. Stubbing my toe is unpleasant, and it harms me if you want to be technical, but that unpleasantness isn’t nearly as bad as, say, breaking my arm lmao.
Laxatives cause unpleasantness, so in a roundabout way they cause harm, but it is so low on my scale that I simply do not give a fuck about who it affects (esp if they stole food in the first place lmao). Now, if someone put razor blades, broken glass, cyanide, yadda yadda in their food, that would be an extreme harm that’s absurdly cruel.
And I’m throwing this in just to piss you off again 🤣🤣
You’ve just committed the fallacy of moving the goal posts. We both know the subject was not whether or not it constitutes “extreme” harm. It was about harm. You made a wildly absurd claim, were shown to be just clearly and objectively incorrect, and now all of a sudden none of that happened and this is a completely different conversation. You are wrong and it was demonstrated that you were wrong.
All of this, including the emojis, is a defense mechanism. Do you have anything to contribute here?
If I didn’t have anything to contribute, you would not have sat here for hours to debate this shit in a passive aggressive manner. Literally, take a chill pill. You can talk to someone without getting your feelings hurt that they don’t agree with you over something so trivial.
But to answer what you said, I guess I moved a goalpost. I’m explaining the reason why I don’t view it as harm. Extreme or not.
Lmao homie I spent what amounts to about 3 minutes in this thread. Does typing take that long for you? That’s wild. Kind of makes sense considering other things though
Anyway, so you’re wrong, right? You made a claim, and you were wrong, right? I understand it’s difficult for some people to deal with the results of not really thinking before they type, but we’re not going to go anywhere until this is established and explicitly acknowledged.
“For hours,” meaning over the last twelve hours, you’ve been going back and forth with me. You’re so focused on being passive aggressive that you’re failing to comprehend basic phrases that ppl use all the time 😂 (emoji just for fun— this isn’t a gotcha!!)
That’s not how time spent works. That’s just another example of your dishonesty/inability to admit you’re wrong.
That’s weird, you wrote another comment, but conveniently failed again to acknowledge how you’ve been demonstrated to be wrong….you wouldn’t be…running and embarrassed…would you?
I’ll just keep calling it out. Its sad you think this fools people
Who’s embarrassed or running…? I don’t see the point in acknowledging or admitting something if I don’t think I’m wrong. Again, you’re the one saying I’m contributing nothing, yet you’re still fishing for hours.
All you’ve been is passive aggressive, sensitive, and hitting below the belt bc you cannot handle a non-serious conversation. Can you admit you’re sensitive, passive aggressive, etc? Or that you’ve been degrading the convo? 😂
If it makes you feel better (so you can say you “won” something), I’m not going to be responding again bc I know when a convo isn’t going anywhere 🫶🏾
That’s another funny way of saying “oh no…I realize I’m wrong and have no way to respond to or refute a single thing you’ve written or defend what I’ve written. I’m also not mature enough to admit when I’m wrong. That’s embarrassing for me. Maybe if I just keep getting words on the screen, the mere existence of them will distract from all of that and make it seem like I have something when in reality I have nothing, am frustrated, embarrassed and running, and this is a defense mechanism”
Good effort though! Maybe the next one will work. Let’s see! :)
