      Or, you know, suicide. It’s not a good answer, but it is an answer.

        Alcohol is technically a solution.

            I mean… yeah. That’s on me, I should’ve specified alcoholic beverages, not just straight up alcohol. most people aren’t drinking pure alcohol.

                  It’s tastier ethanol. The M comes from the fact when you drink it you say “mmm that’s good!”

      It couldn’t possibly be the overarching system we live under. Surely there’s another explanation that doesn’t call attention to that. What about social media, hip hop or rock n roll music, the lgbtq, or possibly too much avocado toast and coffee?
