According to WHIO, who obtained an “investigative file” and communications within the office, Rodgers said he was prescribed sleep aids and that his ‘out of character’ actions were a “documented side effect.”
Ah, the classic Roseanne defense. Most people don’t start spewing hate under the influence of medication if they don’t normally use that kind of language when they’re sober.
This dude thinks EVERYONE is thinking what he’s thinking and we just don’t say it out loud. He thinks ANY of us are one drunk post away from spewing the same garbage. In his mind he’s just guilty of posting under the influence because of that.
People that say this either don’t understand alcohol or haven’t been around it much.
Edit: I cannot believe that people need clarification of this is 2024. Alcohol modifies someone’s personality through its effects. If you’ve ever heard of a happy or angry drunk, that’s why. It can cause mood swings in people, increased aggression, and at the same time makes them act irrationally. That isn’t the “real person” underneath. The part of you that alcohol takes away is part of you.
And when you take away the ability to reason and make good decisions, you say all sorts of stupid things you don’t mean. That isn’t the real you. A drunk person will mostly just be telling you their impulsive subconscious thoughts that they aren’t in control of at all. That’s not a real person at that point.
People who say this obviously don’t drink. The drunker I get the more friendly I get and to be honest annoyingly chatty. My friends who get angry were just better at hiding it when sober.
Yeah I was going to say the same thing, I used to drink a lot and I never did anything drunk that I didn’t want to do sober. The drinking just impairs judgement and how much you care about consequences in the moment.
And that’s exactly what makes it not the “real you”. Read my edit but someone without inhibitions isn’t telling you who they are, they’re telling you who they choose not to be using inhibitions.
Yeah, I took some drugs and they amplified who I really am 🤣
I had bad things happen during past few days, they just amplified my real me.
I mean, it is really well understood that chemical reactions in human body just amplify our real personality and do not affect anything else, right? Haha, Lemmy can be really comedic sometimes…

Alcohol doesn’t change people, it just makes it easier to bring their true selves to the front.

What are you talking about? Alcohols ability to lower inhibitions is well known and studied.
And that’s exactly what makes it not the “real you”. Read my edit but someone without inhibitions isn’t telling you who they are, they’re telling you who they choose not to be using inhibitions.
Yea… Studying, that’s what I was doing on Friday night
What a load of nonsense, haha.
Oh dear, things I learn on the Internet…
Go to bed, @tortina_original. You’re drunk.
