Because pain, fever and inflammation are induced mostly by the same signaling pathways, namely prostaglandins and most antipyretics/antiinflammatories/pain relievers target the same enzyme that produces them, COX-2.

I suspected something like that. But that common pathway is not identical up to the end. It is possible to target different parts of it resulting in a differential modulation of its various components. Someone should work on that, that was my point.

That said, there are pain-specific pharmaceuticals. These mess with the receptors of pain signals at the neuron level. Morphine and the likes will do this.

I will never mess with my pain receptors. My pain sensation is excellent (i.e. I have a very high pain tolerance), I don't want to fuck that up.


Lidocaine is a local anesthetic, which wouldn't be suitable to alleviate a headache.

Pain is a good thing too, you know? Without it you'd never know when something is going wrong with you and you wouldn't have made it pass childhood.

Yeah well, I wasn't asking for my whole ability to sense pain to be abolished. I'm one of the last people on this planet to argue against pain like that.

I had a fever, my airways were clogged up and I couldn't breathe half the time, I had a painful cough and a sore throat, my ears were shut (I don't know what's the term for it in English; it's the same thing that happens when you're on an airplane), and on top of that I had a headache for the second day in a row. It served no beneficial purpose and I would have liked to take away that one thing I could have controlled. As it stood, I didn't do it, because I chose not to lower my fever even though it would have meant getting rid of my headache.

Two guys fighting over who gets to impress the chick and hopefully get laid after what will be months of begging?


I wouldn't do that on purpose. Fuck that chick. Pick up your own umbrella.

I am happy to open doors, pick up things that were dropped... I don't go all crazy with it... I do like spoiling guys I like though... ugh I need to quit that crap.

I had one person expect me to open the car door for him... I was kind of put off with the demand, after all I'm the one who paid for dinner... And fuck if I have ever had a date where someone is coming to pick my ass up and open doors for me and buy me dinner and all that crap...

I will bring you flowers. I can pay for the dinner if it was my invitation and if the place is very expensive. You will have to be able to open your own doors.

With the exception of ONE person. All the other guys, 80% of the time I'm picking up, taking to dinner, paying for it...

No never once got flowers either...

Anyway, I guess you're saying I just should open the car door for the date anyway...What else am I missing? Perhaps the roast beef wasn't right. Maybe that's why they don't come back...

My my,

As it seems, I've gone and done it again with my blasphemous beliefs


Now now boys, don't misinterpret the message:

Not with expectation nor proliferation does this have to due, but of morality and standards my dears;

As there is no demands from her unto the males to assist her, but rather the display of a courteous act of chivalric dalliance in helping someone.


Mind you, this can equivocally be construed as a form of sexism, in that the males are behaving as common animals vying for the possession of the woman's affection, by essentially undermining her clear endeavours to help herself;

Rendering these notions of Male subservience and "being used" for the gain of another, quintessentially null and void.

As it's simply a matter of interpretation my dears, on the behest of the viewer and his/her own opinions and biases.

And my comment no doubt gave sway to an underlying notion that the aforementioned consensus of "Male subservience" should be the message taken from this photo;

Tis merely a folly my Merry flock of Stags;

A jest in good ol' social dichotomous figures of pervasive ideas of gender roles and philanthropic and altruistic values in such a stigmatized antithesis to said ideas of gender roles, was all that it was my darlins.


Clearly you bitches fell hook line and sinker, as the Americans say;

But that was to be expected I supposes
