Profoundly annoying to see "hospitalized for potential OD" on all the headlines yesterday. Crashing out, sure, but my man is no more ODing than a cop who saw a baby powder in a car during a traffic stop.
I found alcohol much worse, a lot closer to what I have seen in fent withdrawal (never personally experienced that fortunately)
Definitely became dependant but it felt more like antidepressant dependency, where the addiction isn't psychologically difficult but stopping cold turkey sucks. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been much harder to quit if I didn't have to order it in the mail, which is a pretty good obstacle for a craving.
It helped me get to work as the least impairing drug I found that dulled my emotional pain enough. After work was for liquor lol
I feel like I had a pretty successful run with it and the times I had to withdrawal weren't nearly as bad as what people say, though I guess you can't know what your withdrawal will be like until you've done it
I worked in addiction treatment and harm reduction. The demons who took your friends from you will not stop until as many people are dead as possible. It is class warfare imo. Wish you and your friends well comrade.
I've seen more than a few heavily upvoted comments that talk sense on the issue. I'm tempted to be hopeful about it, but I know in reality that most canadians are even more racist than reddit canadians so I'm not letting myself
The EV tariffs were meant to appease the US before Canadians decided we don't like them anymore. It would be a remarkable turnaround for Canadians to actually embrace the trade relationship with China because we are full of the same anti-china brainworms.
Given that, I think this is good news. It seems like China intends on negotiating with Canada from a position of strength. Meaning Chinaintends to negotiate with Canada at all. I wouldn't say we deserve that, but I hope it happens. Dropping the EV tariff would obviously be a good thing too.
Edit to add: I don't have a lot of hope but theoretically it is possible that anti-American sentiment will grow into actual cooperation with China. Most Canadians are not cognizant of our role on the imperial periphery and our delusions of grandeur could lead to more cooperation with China as long as China pretends we are a sovereign nation enough to feed our egos lol
My mad catz n64 controller had turbo buttons, it was the only way I could get past the weird olympics stage in mischief makers. Mad catz became player one that day
This was my favorite thing to do as a line cook. One of my favourites was to the tune of the beginning of the sesame street theme. Sung to a male coworker named John for example, it would go: "one fine day, I met John and now I'm gay"
this is literally how AI freaks think AI is going to revolutionize mental heath treatment. AI sex bots for the mentally ill. they think it's a GOOD thing
