That fentanyl is primarily coming from the Middle East.

Do you have a good source for that claim?

I know, they should have access to something safer than fentanyl, especially since the way it’s taken it only lasts very briefly and is very addictive.

I think I saw or heard something by Hamilton Morris about China being where most of the fentanyl is made. China has some amazing drug manufacturing facilities and they usually make stuff that people need. But the chemists there are really smart and can make lots of different chemicals.

If the drugs aren’t coming from China where do you think they’re coming from? My source is admittedly weak, that’s why I was asking to be corrected.

Also how do you prevent drugs from entering a country? Wouldn’t reducing the demands for drugs be a more permanent solution?

So, can some folks here correct my ignorance. I was under the impression that most of the fentanyl entering the US is being manufactured in China. It doesn’t sound crazy to me that this is some sort of conspiracy to weaken the American public.

I’m not sure why we can’t just decriminalize drugs so folks and do heroin in peace. Or maybe fix some of the problems that are causing people to do drugs.

I literally cannot read it another way

Dunno, I just don’t believe my NixOS config files are particularly valuable. What is the benefit of sharing garbage code from a novice? I’d rather share things worth sharing, that could be useful to someone else.

I do the same thing. Anything I put on there isn’t something that I would share with the Internet anyway. If it was a serious project, sure. It’s just nice to have a personal git you can access over a VPN sometimes.

On the other hand sometimes I get people telling me to re read their arguments because I don’t understand them. Like maybe they just suck at presenting their argument? Maybe they could re-state it so it was easier to understand? Maybe I do get it and their argument sucks? No clearly what they wrote is gold and you would understand if your reading comprehension was better.

I did get to meet a sociopath once while working construction. Some of the guys at the company liked to go to music festivals, and you meet some odd folks there. Well one of the guys made friends with this dude who was down on his luck for some reason or another and he got hired on with us.

He was manipulative, but not very good at it. He would shower some people with compliments, like constantly and for pointless things. But if he didn’t think you were worth sucking up to he would absolutely refuse to do anything you asked (which he tried to do to the company second before he learned he owned part of the company). He would work slow, was on drugs frequently, and spent any money he got as soon as he could. Money he usually got a week early because he couldn’t afford food since he would spend all his money.

Anyway not long after we fired him we learned he had been in prison for sexually assulting a minor, and was back in jail for something else.

Thankfully I wasn’t important enough to get his attention, so I never got to interact with him directly.

Hear me out, maybe base 10 isn’t the best counting system. Base 6 or 12 could be pretty nice. Not worth Nazis being in charge, but could be a nice change of pace.

So, what were you reading in the sixth grade? My memory isn’t that good, but I think I was past reading Captain underpants, maybe I was up to reading Percy Jackson (sorry got a bad case of CRS). I definitely gave Harry Potter a pass through, didn’t like the main character.

Anyway, I feel like in 6th grade I was good at reading the text of a book, but not much beyond that. Symbols, themes, subtext — those are hard for a 6th grader.

Probably not helpful but when I was roofing and at work for 11-12 hours a day, getting home and going for a short run really helped out (~4 miles). Something about that cardio gave me more energy and would guarantee I’d at least take a shower after. I think I was only running 3-4 days a week then.

It’s also a great time to decompress, just being alone with your thoughts a little. Then for a while after your heart rate is elevated and you’ve got some extra energy.

I’ll push forward some more, I’m just not vibing with the beginning. It’ll have to wait for Moby dick to finish tho, that’s a pretty good book.

Like a personal god who would always be there to chat and help you out, that would be nice too.

Azatoth, what dagoth ur wishes he was.

I’m having a hard time getting though the player of games. Is it good? Should I skip it for a later entry?

Hmm, I would assume most candles are vegan being made of either paraffin or soy wax. Bees wax tends to be more expensive since it takes a long time for bees to make wax. The flame from bees wax is also smaller and less bright. Am I wrong about this assumption?

There’s quite a few good ones in the “Breakcore” genre like “machine girl” and “femtanyl”. I’m not sure they would consider themselves punk, but I have a pretty liberal definition of punk.

I also came across “blednost.” A little while ago, they’re pretty small. I just click on music that YouTube recommends a lot and find lots of small artists

I listen to lots of punk music, especially in the electronic space. But I think people want to see another hardcore movement.

Really I see most people who actually try to make their own art as punk. The techno-fascists just want you to be complacent and consume content.
