Tangential, but I love how salt has an expiration date. That Himalayan salt in my kitchen was in the ground for eleventy-thousand years before they dug it up and put it in that bottle, and now I’m supposed to throw it away because it’s passed the expiration date stamped on the bottle.

And then there are the people who protest against treating depression because it’s “natural.” For them, I respond, “so is bleeding…”

As a former EMT, this thread is giving me flashbacks. I haven’t decided if that’s good or bad.
