i guess with no repeated alcohol use your brain gets used to having all this gaba on board and then you get adaptation and your brain kind of upregulates to counteract that and then when you remove it yeah you can die from withdrawal

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
