  • Started watching Widows Bay.

    For any of you who like David Lynch’s quirky characters and absurdity, you will like this show. Great cast too. Lovecraft lore.

    There is this scene in the first episode that hooked me.

    A museum tour guide is showing this guy around and talking about the town’s history and at one point there is a wall depicting burning witches and she says something like:
    “Oh that’s a bit of the town’s pride. we found all the witches and burned them”.

    It just gets better with every episode. Apple tv but I pirate everything so.

    Also

    Currently watching:

    From season 4.

    The terror season 3.

    Rick and Morty season 9

    Just watched The Burroughs . Was decent. And The Burbs remake series. Also decent.

    Nothing exceptional but I like quirky casts and it has that guy from “dream corp llc” and “what we do in the shadows”. I really like his character. He does the same character in everything but I still dig it.


  • I’ve got a out gay cousin. Racist. Transphobic. Republican.

    Always. And I mean always. Tries to pick a fight with me about some new political topic every time I see him.

    He wants to own the libs so hard. Always starts his shit around others. Says something like. Black people shouldn’t get reperations.

    I explain how racism exists in the systems. Basics of critical race theory. Give statistics.
    He just ignores that says “that ain’t how it works. Everyone chooses their place”.

    Yada yada.

    That type of shit.

    Or how he knows a trans woman who likes football and I need to “explain that” to him.

    Ive just been avoiding him for 3 years straight. He’s just gotten worse over the years.

    A walking contradiction in more ways than I care to explain.

    It’s crazy to me that these people exist. Like. How can anyone have literally zero self awareness.?








  • I don’t get this defence of drugs or the industries that produce this plight on the people.

    Being dependent on a drug doesn’t mean you were stupid or have no self control.

    It just means you were a victim of manipulation.

    We all have been manipulated at some point. It’s unfortunate but when we are educated about how it was done we can do something about it.

    You have a choice. Acknowledge that you have became a victim of this manipulation and get free.

    Or stay a prisoner.

    Continue to give companies your money. The ones that have stolen your health from you. Years of your life. And forced you into addict behaviors that guide your daily actions.

    Remember that it gets a little easier every day to break free. The hardest is the starting.

    There are also temporary medications to help with the withdrawal symptoms. Doctors will prescribe them. They have pretty good success. You have options. You don’t have to do it alone or deal with the body withdrawal effects.


  • All drugs work this way. Medicinal and psychoactive. Even poisons/toxins.

    Any chemical that changes the body’s base functioning.

    Some drugs build tolerance and subsequently dependence, faster than others.

    Especially drugs that provide euphoric and energy effects (increases and decreases). What some people call narcotics. Even though that isn’t really a drug effect category , only a legal one.

    Even taking a drug to reduce cholesterol will technically cause it to increase overtime.

    It’s why people have to get their medication doses adjusted all the time. It’s why stopping prescription drugs cold turkey for things like blood pressure or diabetes can have very serious risk. (Depending on the dose and how long the person had been taking it.)

    But again. Not all drugs build tolerance at the same speed.

    And prescription drug dosage is designed to reduce tolerance while still delivering health effects.

    (Well, most are. Many opioid companies appear to have intentionally and knowingly made high dose drugs with euphoric effects to increase dependence. There are opioid drug formulas that don’t have as strong euphoria effects but they chose to sell the ones that do, knowing full well it increases dependence). -thats another conversation

    That’s not the case with recreational use. As people tend to use high doses that also increase the speed of tolerance building.

    The modern thc business of gummies, vapes, candy, and such follow the tobacco industry leads and have massive quantities of THC in their products. This is intentional. To get people addicted by fast tracking body tolerance.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_withdrawal

    Withdrawal and tolerance are both a product of the same mechanism in the body.

    All types of drug chemicals cause this mechanism in the body. It’s part of how body homeostasis works. There is no drug that is exempt from it.
