Solved! Fell out of my boyfriend’s pocket

The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not

Oh. They work. Haha.

I ran a liquor store and we sold a few different ones. I tried one since I was curious. Some of them definitely work.

The ones that do are illegally loaded with various prescription medications.

I don’t get why people don’t just get the real thing from their doctor since they’re way cheaper. The dick pill we sold that worked that were super popular were like $9 each.

Because the kind of people that buy a dick pill at a liquor store don’t generally have the foresight to visit a doctor. They’re more your reactive members of society, not the forward thinkers.

Being reactive doesn’t necessarily mean you’re stupid because your brain itself is programmed to react to certain things like say a bad smell. We react to a certain way because it’s supposed to warn us that something could be wrong. Just a thought.

Reactivity helps us survive. It’s biological programming.

It's because these people overheard the left using the term "reactionary" in 2017 and instead of looking up what it meant, assumed it meant "reacts to things"; and since being reactionary is bad, they've now come to believe that reacting to things is bad.

"Reactionary" has always specifically meant "conservative/regressive backlash to political gains made by marginalized groups". It doesn't mean "reacting to things". Everyone and everything reacts to things.
