WHAT GRINDS OUR GEARS? Assholes who hurt my friend’s feelings
Simran Randhawa SFU Student
It’s a little bit irrational to get angry at someone you barely know, let alone even met, but God, it’s easy when this someone messes with your best friend’s feelings. Anyone who has a friend with slightly questionable taste in romantic partners can understand my struggle. You constantly hear about how emotionally inept this person is, and you wonder how it’s even physically possible that this much shit comes out their mouth. Even though you’re 5’2” at best and you know that your opponent can bench-press your weight, you want that shady, smelly, smelly little bitch to go down. Of course you wouldn’t do anything that violent against your friend’s wishes, but the amount of secondhand anger you feel makes you livid — so much so that you use words such as “livid” like an outraged soccer mom. Although you probably will never confront them, you still dream of the day you can go Samuel L. Jackson on their flat ass and say, “I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Here are some useful tips, from both online resources and an interview with SFU Health & Counselling:
• • • • • • • • • • •
Educate yourself on drug use, effects, and risk. Never use alone Go slowly, with low doses Don’t mix different drugs, or mix drugs with alcohol Carry a naloxone kit and know how to use it in case of an emergency Know the signs of an overdose (see below), and what to do in case one happens Stay hydrated Let someone know where you are and when you should be home/finished If you’re worried about yourself or someone else, seek help immediately Consider using drugs at a safe-injection site, where your drugs can be tested for fentanyl Trust your instinct: if something doesn’t feel right, wtake a step back to consider the situation. Ask questions about what you’re being offered. Don’t accept drugs from someone who you don’t know or don’t trust
Here are some signs of an overdose:
• • • • • • •
Severe sleepiness, struggling to stay awake, or “nodding off” Inability to walk or talk Slowing breathing A pale or blue complexion Skin cold to the touch Unresponsiveness to physical or verbal stimulation Limp body
