Verse on my mind: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7Protestant Christian, political beliefs stemming from that. Big fan of minecraft, dragons, cyborgs, art, and genreal nerd stuff.trying to abstain from discourse ✌
absolutely nothing funnier than walking into the tintin series with a bunch of preconceived genre tropes about baby-faced kids on adventures only to have them completely shattered the first time he pulls out a realistic gun and definitely kills someone
The most expensive hotel room in the world, at $100,000 a night, is in Las Vegas and I mean there's a lot to unpack in it but specifically I want to address the private salt room. This hotel room has a private salt room that kind of looks like after they were done building the rest of the hotel room they had a weird little leftover space and decided, "ah, what the hell, line it with hunks of Himalayan sea salt and wire it up to the central heating, people will pay even MORE to stay here now." Apparently the purpose of this room is to "cleanse your toxins," and I'm not here to say whether or not that's good for anything in general. But given what sort of toxin you most likely have an excess of in Las Vegas I AM here to say
DO NOT
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
CONSUME A LARGE QUANTITY OF SALT
WHILE YOU HAVE A HANGOVER
WHAT THE FUCK
Anyway here's what I know about salt lamps. My sister used to use one because she was on a high sodium diet, and sometimes I would hang out with her while she was using it, and what she did was just sit in a small room with the salt lamp plugged in for like half an hour to forty-five minutes. Now I'm sure a whole room lined with salt is going to have the capacity to be saltier than small room with one (1) salt lamp (which, by the way, you can buy for $30 on Amazon) but I simply don't know why anyone would want it to be saltier, especially if, as previously addressed, they were possessed of more than the usual quantity of alcohol in their bloodstream, because this thing makes you thirsty. You will have NO dehydration problems if you are using this thing because you will physically not be able to STOP yourself from drinking. It even overcame how much I loathe the taste of tap water. And once you were fully hydrated again you just kept on drinking water because you were so thirsty. There was salt on your lips, salt on your tongue, salt on your eyeballs, and the only thing that could save you was water, water, and more water. It was a piss factory is what I'm saying.
But beyond the question of why you would want it, and how you can have your own smaller version at home all the time for $30, the thing that pisses me off about this room is the fact that -- well, astute readers may have caught the phrase "high sodium diet." Implying that this was supplemental to what was primarily an alteration to her eating habits. During this time my sister had basically four ways she could get her sodium, and they were:
Add a lot of salt to her food (expensive)
Take salt supplements (you couldn't swallow them. You had to chew them up. Nasty)
Use the salt lamp (generally pretty agreeable)
And at number four we have the most interesting one, which was eat a lot of fast food
And the thing is. She specifically got the salt lamp. So that number 4 would stop being mandatory. She was tired of eating fast food all the time so she asked her doctor about alternatives and he suggested the salt lamp and using it regularly saved her from having to go to McDonald's three times a week and order

is what you're asking for really "accountability"?? or is it for a total stranger to self flagellate on social media until you feel satisfied that they've suffered enough for their supposed transgression??
