WTF?

[conuly]

Seriously, when did real life become like something out of a bad sci-fi movie? Please don't answer with such replies as "1984", thanks.

I need to stop reading the news. And to get out of this universe. Anybody making progress moving between parallel worlds? Maybe I can get a group of us, go someplace where sentience didn't evolve. Of course, we'd take plenty of domesticated animals, plants, not to mention ready-packaged supplies. And books, lots of books.

I have what I guess you could call "trust issues", and I'm a social-phobic with some definite autistic tendencies, and if anyone ever tried to use something like that on me, I can guarantee that while it might possibly "work" in the short term, the long term reaction from it would be "never trust any bugger with a nasal spray".

Ditto.

I already don't trust those pills they give me (or used to give me) to make me feel better (SSRI's. etc); now I have to watch out for some spray?

I haven't read the article yet, but I can see it now - they already paint the walls of waiting rooms etc. certain colors to induce calm; some even put fragrance into the air to elicit the same effect. Next they'll be using chemical sprays so that when the receptionist says, "Bye now, have a nice day!" she'll really mean it.

Next: SSRI's piped into supermarkets to increase our buying and cut down on shopping rage...

LOL ditto.

I want to make a prediction. Some big ol- company has already looked into this. And we have to wait ten years for it to go on mainstream news, ten more for people to pass "anti oxytocin laws" which have so many loopholes they may as well not even be there.

I like the other universe stories though. Of course, according to some theories, I'm already there O_O
