Yeah, that seems obvious to me too. I’ve got no clue how the symbols are supposed to represent the letters though. I’ve a friend who has similar symbols on her fingers and they don’t stand for anything, they just look cool.

Dammit! You’re right, there was definitely a hemorrhoids joke there . . . isn’t it always the way that you never get the idea until way too late!

Yeah don’t give me too much applause - I will still have an occasional pipe of crack, maybe once every couple of months. Because I fuckin like it and that’s that. I’m getting too old for that shit though -my smart watch gives me an unusual heartbeat warning when I do stimulants. I also still drink too much, I still smoke cigarettes and the occasional joint, I still have a shitty diet. These are things I need to change. But yeah, I don’t do smack anymore. It was part of my life for many wasted years. It took me way too long to finally quit. But I did it. . . and so can you. Probably better than me. The rest of my stuff is a work in progress - though I am finding I feel better the next day if I go to sleep sober.

I don’t wanna give you advice because we all different people with different shit. What worked for me might not be right for you. And I’m no fuckin guru! I’d just say pick a date and stick to it. Don’t beat yourself up about relapses, just get back on that wagon and keep going. And get whatever medical and social support you can. All the best mate

I like to see good animal or bird life in games, really ups the immersion for me if it’s gotta good algorithm. Do they react if you kick em? An I think ppl have enjoyed looking after animals in computer games as long as there’s been computer games. I remember these tamagotchi things in the 80s or 90s, little LCD screens with some sorta animal you had to look after by pressing a tiny button.

I’ve been enjoying your screenshot posts, cheers

Yeah. But I’m clean now and still alive to regret that particular incident, could be worse

Edit - I wanted to bring it back in a witty way to your username checking out too but fuck me it’s beyond my ability

Yeah, I’ve overdosed before, it’s a swift, painless slide into the dark.

There’s something I like about those cat pics. Maybe it’s the way they look almost cat, but not entirely. Do they move like cats?

Yeah, I get you, and I agree entirely. There’s no shortage of genuine shit to throw at the police. Inventing stuff just casts doubt on the genuine shit. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that cops were behind this but all we have is speculation.

I guess the way the idea police tradition theory has taken hold so well is because it’s so plausible.

If jobs need to get done, you’ll be able to find positions to work in.

Yeah, agreed. No guarantees that they’ll pay a wage you can survive on though, or that they won’t cut corners on worker safety etc. There were lots of jobs during the industrial revolution but most were profoundly shit to the point they’d shorten workers’ lives.

‘Ripper’ feels like kind of a harsh title unless he’s a serial killer.

I had a zx81, 1k ram, still could play pong.

Just wanted some attention, eh?

Yeah, I think you’re exactly right. Now he’s seeing consequences - particularly the affect on the Tesla brand - and realised he’s shat the bed. So he’s thinking ‘If I can make those photos go away, people will forget it happened.’

Yeah, lotsa luck with that.

Or just wipe your arse on the curtains.

I’m surprised it calls out people for being nazis then. And I’m pretty sure the name was appropriated from a book called stranger in a strange land.

Yeah, you’re probably right. But a lot of trust will still be gone, it’s hard to make serious commitments with a country that has a history of ripping them up.

Thanks, I’ll try out just cause 3, looks fun!

Yeah that was when I finally left too. I just didn’t think it was worth it if I had to use the website or their crappy app

Somebody gild this!

Yeah I quit a while back. I thought it would be harder, I had several old accounts, moderated a couple of small subs, had loads of karma, spent at least an hour a day being active on there. I realised all that shit was sunk cost fallacy and I’m glad I finally left.
