GlitterInfection,

A fair point that many can’t afford to move or don’t have the ability to for some reason or another.

GlitterInfection,

I miss the early days of internet memes. Things were weirder in a way that was slightly more plausible because we all weren’t jaded enough by the weird shit on the internet yet!

GlitterInfection,

I think it’s more than just being old. It’s about being in a community’s early times. I bet even early days tik-tok users have their “you had to be there” stories. Reddit was rife with them, for sure.

GlitterInfection,

Maybe body odor could be an opt-in? For, like, sexy times between men who like that kind of thing…

GlitterInfection,

He has an erection in both.

GlitterInfection,

As what is becoming an annual tradition… There were no survivors.

GlitterInfection,

Fun fact: withdrawal from alcohol can and frequently does kill people.

Withdrawal from meth doesn’t kill people and it’s uncommon for people to die from opiate withdrawal.

Alcohol is a horrible drug.

GlitterInfection,

If you enjoy watching kids die, this is the show for you!

GlitterInfection,

Who can even keep track?

Is there context for this photo?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture containing more inner sadness and genuine concern for what’s being seen off camera before.

This bothered me enough to look it up. It’s a photoshop. Totally had me convinced, heh.

GlitterInfection,

Just like a cat. You get it a treat but all it wants to do is sit in the box!

GlitterInfection,

Cartoonists!

GlitterInfection,

You ended up agreeing with me in that last sentence.

Disregarding advice you know is good already because you don’t respect the source is an emotional, not logical, choice.

Hell 2: This Time it’s Personal!

GlitterInfection,

Plus it gives those of us who hate reality TV an excuse to hate watch our friends and loved ones who watch it and feel superior to them!

GlitterInfection,

“Well, Steve, but he doesn’t count!”

GlitterInfection,

I would like to meet this Private.

GlitterInfection,

Might want to talk to the ones who got sober…

GlitterInfection,

I appreciate the thoughtful response.

It’s a challenging conversation to have with nuance. I meant to emphasize that I was talking about people who had crossed the line from casual use to destructive use with my “addictive cycle” phrasing, and I agree that not all drug use is equal or bad.

My boyfriend is a regular pot user. He’ll take a gummy once per week and go on hikes with his friends and come back on time for dinner all chipper. It’s adorable and not remotely a problem.

That isn’t to say that pot can’t be a problem. The specific person I was channeling from my current harm reduction abstinence group IS someone who is there because pot is a problem for him. He’s the most recent to have talked about how much easier it was to be creative when he’s sober but it’s a thing I’ve heard quite a few times in the past.

My boyfriend’s brother is also someone who struggles to keep down a job and as far as I know pot is his drug of choice.

Conversely, my drug of choice is crystal meth and I’ve maintained my career, never having lost a job. I’ve even excelled at my job through my hardest using (thanks covid wfh!).

And nobody in their right mind would say that meth use of any kind is better than the hardest of pot use.

At the end of the day, I don’t think that pot use harms creativity, but I don’t think it helps it either. And the people who think they NEED pot to be creative I do think are potentially hurting themselves.

GlitterInfection,

You might want to talk to them rather than guessing their experiences.

Fear of losing creativity is one reason people stay in a drug addiction cycle for way longer than is necessary. Folks who come out the other side often are surprised by how much easier it is to be creative. They find they can suddenly match their non-drug addicted counterparts and as a bonus can keep a job!

GlitterInfection,

Man this is such a reddit moment.

I’m someone working towards sobriety from hard drugs who has spent the last 8 years in and out of sober spaces such as 12-step programs, Recovery Dharma and their secular alternatives (SMART and LifeRing).

I presently attend a harm reduction program full of people trying to reach abstinence goals from a variety of substances.

I’m literally just telling you what actual people have said in my presence (obviously paraphrased since I didn’t write that shit down).

GlitterInfection,

I love drafting MtG. But I hate playing with the resulting deck.

GlitterInfection,

The Fear Street movies are also really solid horror!

GlitterInfection,

F******** you c******s.
