I used to get an arguments on facebook and it bit me in the ass enormously because it turns out that when you get an arguments on facebook habitually, you'll be interacting with a lot of other people who get an arguments on facebook habitually, and most of these people are deeply unpleasant and they will be super mean to you in really fucked up ways. so for a couple of years I just sort of dropped off ever interacting with anyone who said things that I did not agree with. I would just scroll past stuff or I would get upset about it privately and move on. I did not ever engage. and the last couple of weeks I've started being able to say things in response to things I don't agree with in ways that I feel lay out what my perspective is but do not get overly invested in "winning" or "proving" anything -- I will say my piece generally for the benefit of other people who might be reading the conversation and need to hear what I have to say. and then I will turn notifications off and go do something else.

anyway. wow. y'all heard about this? pretty cool shit.

The Case for Legalizing and Safely Producing All Drugs

A farmer gathers his crop’s production The argument for legalizing and safely producing all drugs is gaining traction, driven by a mix of public health and economic concerns. The current approach to drug policy has failed to stem the tide of overdose deaths, with over 600,000 people having lost their lives to acute drug overdoses. To put that in perspective, this is more than the combined combat…

I love the book scythe because I also fantasize about having a world where I could just casually kill myself as stress relief

I screwed up and didn't make it to the Methadone clinic on Saturday, which means I didn't have a take home dose for today, Sunday, because they're closed... Which means I had no choice but to spend $50 bucks on a sack of Fentanyl to get me through the weekend because going into withdrawal is said to either cause fetal demise or pre-term labor and all my doctors have advised against cold turkey withdrawal as the absolute worst thing and most damaging thing that an addicted mom can do... Ironic, isn't it? It's the first time I've ever encountered medical professionals telling me not to get clean... I certainly doubt that it's something that too many people in the public are familiar with and likely wouldn't be able to wrap their heads around because on first thought it seems to defy all sense of basic logic and common sense but alas, it is the current accepted medical opinion in the USA regarding pregnant women with opioid tolerance, opioid dependence and opioid addiction... I still feel guilty about the situation though even though it wasn't exactly entirely my fault that I missed the clinic. It's a hard thing to stick with and have perfect attendance though with no exceptions for illness or family emergencies or anything else though. I will absolutely NOT miss getting there tomorrow, Monday, and me and the baby's dad will do everything in our power to not miss any days this coming week!

Hitler’s New Shower: Opiates Made ’Clear’

Hitler’s New Shower: Opiates Made ’Clear’

Meet Judah, a National Science Foundation Award-winning research-writer who claims he traveled to Mexico for an overnight 'cure' to opiate addiction which has topped the DEA's chart of illegal drugs for decades!

His own dark path which led to this remarkable discovery, combined with his technical-writing background, lends Judah a unique perspective through which he shares his story and research with the world.

Originally scripted as a documentary film, Judah's new exposé news piece reads more like a feature action movie that will 'numb your mind.' On this adventure, you will:

Chase down the Presidential bloodline which has been dealing opiates for centuries;

Learn how war and opiates have historically worked hand-in-glove to subjugate indigenous peoples and submit nations;

Meet the 'pharmaceutical managing director' of an American-seized Nazi supply company, who went on to form the privately held company which devastated America with the OxyContin Dynasty;

Learn what OxyContin really is, which is shocking and shockingly-simple to understand;

Meet the Twelve Congressmen who, after their investigation of this cabal of deadly profiteers, attempted to foil a bigger plot to chemically-enslave the entire world;

In order, enjoy every eye-popping discovery which led to Judah's Amazon Bestselling Book Series: Sacred Scroll of Seven Seals; trace Judah's steps back down a trail which when studying the villains behind the Opiate Crisisled to a dark secret society, on Yale University, who refer to themselves as,the Order of Skull and Bones...

Join Judah, as he opens 'the curtains' to a mountain of evidence which will finally make the Opiate Crisis perfectly 'clear,' to any American, of almost any age!

the opiate epidemic was a statistical error. the average person takes 0 opiates each year. Gregory House, who works at PPTH and takes 5 Vicodin per hour is an outlier and should not have been counted.

People often treat The Killers as a meme for their bombastic pop songs with weird premises, and panned Sam's Town when it came out. But the older they get the more they focus on how the boredom of small towns crushes ambitions and drives people to substance abuse and hurting each other. Pressure Machine (2022) is one of the most beautiful and soul crushing depictions of the opiate epidemic told through interviews and songs. The longer they stand in the bright lights of big cities that feed on people, the more they look to the people who see that light across the desert like Gatsby driven mad by the green light across the water.

RE: Red One.

It’s funny how critics and people online continue to want to keep this film down, but I think it’s continuing to exceed expectations which is a good sign.

I had a feeling for a long while it was going to surprise people, given how many were complaining nonstop about Chris’s involvement.

Also, the discourse about his career choices… 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

It’s one thing if he were to sit there and complain to the media about not being able to find more serious roles or prestige movies to do.

But to my knowledge he’s never done that? I can only think of him saying years ago that his good films he feels nobody watches (true, or at least not ENOUGH people watch) but even then it wasn’t so much a complaint as a response to a question.

It seems like he is having fun and just picking what he wants to do. I’ve never heard him say “I only did this because I couldn’t get that.” He’s thrown out there he did Red One because he’s always wanted a Christmas film and there was a part for someone like him in it. Makes sense to me. And he just did three smaller scale lower profile projects with directors that are still establishing themselves. Without his and Anya’s involvement, don’t know that sacrifice would have been able to get made. I wish critics who aren’t up to date with his career move at least stop talking and wait for developments over a “hot take” for hits.

I saw a ridiculous tweet once again undermining Red One and his choices. Here’s the thing…red one was an orignal IP. It was a new story that wasn’t from an existing franchise, show, book, or sequel. Lots of people worked on that film and Amazon giving it a theatrical release also helps those who worked on the film that aren’t DJ or the rest of the cast. People who are seeing it in theaters are helping to create box office return and if films like this did well and were received well, maybe there would be more studios willing to take a chance on an original take over an existing IP.

Just because it’s a popcorn movie with silliness does not mean it’s trash and only films like Oppenheimer can be considered art.

I really despise that take and how some cinephiles look down on these films yet solely up lift Oscar bait films.

It bothers me immensely as a creative myself because in my opinion, movies are entertainment and they’re supposed to entertain you. If you and others have fun with the content and enjoy, have a good laugh, a smile, a cry, then I think the creators have done their job. Not all films need to be awards worthy, and art is subjective.

Ahh, the discourse on Chris' career is a tale as old as time at this moment. According to some he will never be good enough or rise to his potential. According to some he is a washed up has been, and yet they can't seem to quit him. I think that makes him a bit more powerful than they want him to be. But alas, we're all free to spend our time how we see fit.

It's funny because I don't think some people realize the roles that he was considered for, the roles he turned down, the roles that he was wanted for. Back when Running Man was in talks, he was top of the list as the lead, and we see that he wanted Sacrifice instead. I think that was a better choice, because quite frankly I'm getting fatigued at all the remakes, but some people want to make their career out of remakes. To each their own.

Unfortunately Chris outside of the MCU has never been quite as a box office draw. A lot of his movies, well most, are on a smaller scale. I think people are looking at his last three movies; Ghosted, Pain Hustlers, and Red One, and immediately jumping on a hate bandwagon. Let's break this down, Ghosted was a small movie, and judging by the synopsis I think we got what we were promised. I think that Dex, Chris, and Ana all were making different movies.

Pain Hustlers will mostly be forgotten. It was part of the opiate epidemic movies that became oversaturated. It didn't have any promotion, and compared to the other projects in the opiate crisis genre, it wasn't that great. I still will die on the hill that his performance was solid, and the best in the movie. Emily was oddly terrible.

Red One I think surprised a lot of people. Nobody expected it to be as fun or as good as it ended up being. Due to the strike, Chris didn't get to really film last year, minus the Deadpool movie. Had R1 not be released a year late, he would have only had Deadpool for this year. Starting next year we're going to have another surge of his projects, and they all seem different, so maybe people should just be patient.

The average movie goer wants to be entertained. That's why popcorn flicks make more money than the award movies. now sometimes you can have both. But anyways.

Actually would be easy to end the opioid epidemic if opium was normalized. I'm just like why do people even suffer. What's the point of a highly concentrated opiate when God made it perfect already

So basically, everything is as screwed up now as it could possibly be and at this rate I'm set to lose my son to CPS, but I'm not going to let that happen which means I'm going to have to take some drastic steps here in the next week, all while praying that I can stay out of preterm labor because I've begun having symptoms of upcoming labor and I've only got a mere 30ish days remaining. My methadone program has utterly refused to help out with getting me stabilized and off of the illicit substances, and today I put in one final attempt at getting them to help me via appealing to them one last time by asking that they please allow me to get my dosage raised high enough, to around 100mgs, that it will allow me to begin to rapidly and safely decrease my opioid dosage and achieve a clean test before I end up going into labor, but if this does not end up being possible, I have a small amount of Methadone that I've saved up to combine with the 65mgs that I'm currently on now, for the first three days, while discontinuing Fentanyl, and even though it still probably won't be enough and I will be experiencing some symptoms of withdrawal, I will just bite the bullet and put up with it. The one thing I'm waiting for is for a new RX of Xanax to go through either on the 14th or 19th, as I will need this medication, along with probably Gabapentin, which I'm pretty certain I can get a prescription for, I should be able to endure the withdrawal and succeed in achieving a clean test before having to go into labor... Fingers crossed. Hopefully though, I will find out on Monday though that my Methadone clinic is finally willing to take my circumstances seriously and begin allowing me a clinically relevant dose of Methadone on Monday. I am not hopeful nor expecting to receive anything from them though to be honest, but we will see what happens.

The other order of business is the state of affairs in my apartment, which I have let become an unbearably huge mess so extreme that you can barely even get my front door open at present! This will NEVER in a million years pass any kind of home inspection that may be required by CPS, let alone is there any space to build an area for the baby and get all the required necessities together. My mom is going to help me afford everything that I need for him, but first I've got to get this total mess cleaned up. I am committed to doing it and my baby's dad is living here with me and is equally committed to getting this mess fixed up... I'm beginning on this TONIGHT and I hope to finish it over this same night as its only 600sq ft in here, but achieving any success in this endeavor tonight will be a success as it may end up taking more than a day or two to get finished up. I have gotten it fixed up before in only a day's time for the purpose of a manager inspection. I need to get this done BEFORE having to go into withdrawal though or I will be too sick to get it done. So this must begin tonight! I will take before and after pictures at the beginning and end of this project...

I am absolutely COMMITTED to doing what I have to do to become part of the >1% of drug addicts who manage to do what everyone says isn't possible for them. I know everyone is expecting me to fail in my endeavor but I will prove them all wrong. I want to keep my son and be a good mother to him and I'll do whatever is necessary to make that happen.

If by some stroke of bad luck he does begin to come early and I end up with a positive test and CPS has to get involved, I have family members who are willing and capable of taking him for the time necessary that it would take to get their requirements completed and in that case I will go ahead with whatever I have to do to regain custody but I am keeping the faith that it won't come to that and that I've still got just barely enough time...

Pray for me and wish me luck, I am going to need it!
