yesman: please write a short response to this article in the voice of a libertarian
GPT: sure, I'll be happy to do that:
Just another case of power hungry government trying to tell citizens what they're allowed to do with their own body. They killed a whole industry just because one guy had a side-effect.
If only it was just that 1 dude
With this new tech, we can have annoying libertarians in our pocket at all times.

Radium stands for radically yummy
I always buy Ray-D-YUM brand radium!
Makes one wonder about the content of that "Radium Girls" book.
It is based on real people. Those girls are why many of the labor laws we have in the US exist.
And their jaws literally desintegrated. And they still had to fight for their bosses to change anything. Also, the non-toxic alternative was only slightly more expensive.
Radium paint was used on watches into the 70s despite what happened to the radium girls in the 20s-30s.
This is some Fallout Nuka-Cola shit.
These kinds of stories are exactly where Fallout themes came from.
My high school drama group did Radium Girls last year. Really good play, the movie is mediocre though. Check out a production if you get a chance.
I read about it several years ago. It's fascinating and sad
I cannot imagine the pain of your fucking skull disintegrating.
"His head was swathed in bandages. He had undergone two successive operations in which his whole upper jaw, excepting two front teeth, and most of his lower jaw had been removed. All the remaining bone tissue of his body was slowly disintegrating, and holes were actually forming in his skull.".
Not just his skull, too. That's horrifying.
Wonder if it destroyed his nerve ending at the same rate. One can only hope.
That story is a wild ride.
If by that you mean, "wtf?!" I agree.
He died as he lived.
Faintly glowing?
No head?
