You have to do this very well to make a difference as a lethal dose can be as little as a few grains of sand. Like you need scientific style mortar and pestle and the patience and dexterity and knowledge to properly pulverize and mix and then a very fine scale for measuring doses not to mention the temptation that powdered product has for significantly more dangerous non-oral drug usage.
It is not in theory a bad idea but in practice perhaps not the most reasonable advice.
Yeah, you're probably right. I was assuming a careful, meticulous user. To everyone else my advice would be to stay away from strong painkillers altogether unless prescribed by a healthcare professional.
Also, doctors normally don't prescribe percocet or other strong opiates to "take the edge off" (i.e. psychiatric treatment). That's what barbiturates and anxiolytics are for.
> Now supporting Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, behemoths which represent the excess of capitalism is considered hip, cool and progressive.
Isn't that great though? If it's now hip and cool, even the dumb/vain people will do the right thing (albeit for the wrong reasons) which should ultimately strengthen the alternatives to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Big tech companies tend to not outright lie, but instead stretch the truth as far as it can go to further their ulterior motives. Apple's marketing of iMessages as end-to-end encrypted (except if you or your contact has iCloud backups turned on) certainly qualifies.
I don't know you but if you're like most people, you've probably violated other (non-drug related) clauses in your contract already. Ever watched a YouTube video during work hours? (assuming you don't work for Google/YouTube) Ever took a personal phone call during work? Ever been late? I get the feeling that it's not just a matter of avoiding a breach of contract in your case although you phrased it that way.
By gauging the situation and, where appropriate, behaving in a slightly playful, attentive and flirtatious manner towards anyone that catches your fancy (not limited to bar patrons btw.)
The whole point to Grindr is that you can meet so many people online. It's not about replacing flirting, which you're suggesting. People flirt on Grindr -- don't worry. I think you need some experience in how the hook up scene works to really understand it....
I would wager 'yes' to both of those answers, but I would also somewhat attribute this to the Cult of Productivity, where people want to 'learn' more while spending less time on it. Which, depending on the subject (and I'd wager for most of them), isn't really how you learn at all, and you need to put thought and go slow in things.
It's basically another symptom of our culture's ever-increasing rush for things going faster/easier.
I never looked into this Cult of Productivity but I wholeheartedly agree with your take on learning in general. Deep understanding of complex topics can't be rushed.
Lol. You must exist in a world of hyperbole. If you think the US gov is bad, wait until you see and experience a world of the CCP and Putin's FSB.
In a CCP world, probably within a decade, if you posted a critical comment on a messageboard - you would "disappear" in a week, and all mentions of you would be gone from the earth within a month. They don't tolerate resistance my friend.
We're also deep in a pandemic where olden times means of socialization are pretty restricted. I'm not gonna walk into a bar in 2021 to be assaulted by smoke, sound, and covid. Just the smoke and sound has been enough to keep me out of them for over a decade now.
Smoking in bars is also forbidden here. Many pubs don't play music; and in these COVID times, I often find there's just one other person in there, reading a paper.
>I often find there's just one other person in there, reading a paper.
That sounds pleasant. Smoking restrictions here vary greatly on a city by city basis. Unfortunately the bar scene in my city likes to pretend we aren't in a pandemic and only a few have decided to brave a smaller customer base and ban smoking.
And we also lived fulfilling lives before the invention of the smartphone, tv, printing press, sewer system or agriculture. What exactly is your point?
There’s a user need. In this case it addresses the needs of a minority that’s been, until recently, highly oppressed. You don’t get to just say “things were fine before this existed”.
When something imperfect solves a real problem you don’t get to just say “oh just don’t use it”, especially when it’s not a problem YOU have. Talk about privilege!
Why are you on HN instead of sharing your bad opinions with your friends in person? You have zero reason to be online, conversations existed before the internet, you know...
Users really should crush all the pills and mix the powder thoroughly so one unit of powder always contains the same amount of active compound.
