If halloween is happy it ain't doing its job right I should be scared shitless
>>594910 It reminds me of that part 7 stand where you have to spend a ridiculous amount of money without giving any of it away Except this time it's reversed. Maybe it's a stand that kills you if you throw too many things away. So the owner has to try going through life living as minimilistically as possible, in order to avoid picking things up to throw away.
>>594912 I definitely remember it being part 7 They tried buying a house
>>594913 iirc, they had 24 hours to spend all the money before the stand would kill them Except they were out in the middle of nowhere so there wasn't much to spend it on

>>594950 considering the website is primarily used to coordinate hate crimes, the doxing of trans people and activists, and the synagogue shooting that just left 11 jews dead yeah that website is a cesspool the owner is complicit in murder and many other crimes and has encouraged it
it's literally just twitter for white supremacists for extremists for people that twitter (a place that bans you for saying we should kill nazis) banned for bad behavior these are not good people and that website represents an existential threat to me and my people those people who use it should be hunted down and dealt with before they have a chance to radicalize more people and kill more people
Anno
>>594950 if a platform for people who agree with ISIS were taken down, would you feel the same way as about gab?
Nah, I haven't really made any preparations. I actually forgot about halloween. It might have been nice to have done a witch costume but I'm not really feeling it atm
Oh, you know me. I'm not much of a partier, and I don't trick or treat. I'm just going to throw something together later to stop by a party for a little bit and then I'll head home. I gotta go since it's a DSA party and I'm the co-leader of the org. I'll just dress in black and call myself an antifa super soldier.
Kannagi
I need to get involved in more things, I get pretty lonely. I start doing shit that I regret.
I might try and hang out with other students, I have no real social skills so I'm a nervous about doing that.
Social skills can develop pretty quick if you just start paying attention to how other people interact with each other. It might feel awkward at first, but you can get the hang of it real fast if you're receptive to how other people are responding and feeling.
I have access to the student group chat - I've never posted in it but I might join them the next time they go out to the pub. I don't really drink, or the times I've drank have never been sociable. cept for r/a/dio
It's nice to be with friends. I got a lot closer to some people while Fish was gone, since I didn't want to just stay home and be alone.
I can't bring Fish to the party tonight, though, and she wouldn't want to go anyway.
Kannagi
I have zero offline friends since moving up, all I know are dealers and a few people in my classes. Definitely I think I'll be healthier with friends than just crashing in my room taking coke , weed and benzos.
I'll see about setting up a study group at the uni library possibly. that might be good.
Weed is one thing, but coke and benzos are really bad. If you're abusing those, you'll absolutely get addicted, judging by how you responded to weed. You need to be careful or learn to use substances in moderation.
Addiction isn't fun.
Kannagi
I feel dumb saying this but benzos and coke feel amazing. but I always feel so on edge doing coke, so I force myself to wait an hour and abit between lines.
I need to move away from drugs and do something postive like drawing/painting. or just get out of the house and exercise. Not eating takeaway so much probably would be good too!
I have to go through trying to stop smoking cigs all over again too. that isn't fun.
>>594970 30-40s of ROUGH unhealthy kife involving many injuries + the complete difference of design goals when it comes to character animation between rock star and ubisoft ubispft has always since their early games gone for fluid, easy to control, but not that far from reality motions. ie hollywood realism while rock star aims at max realism, sometimes much to the players annoyance, when your character is as clumsy as you are in rl
Skeleton
jimquisiton actially had an episode about this kind of "too much detail" realism this week, and while i agree to some point about his argument, i think usong rockstar and rdr2 as an example is a bad case, since their shtick is realism and detail

Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
also the fan on the bottom of my computer was caked in dust And frankly so is some of the interior but I have no compressed air at the moment
Anno
Compressed air isn't the most ideal thing to clean your PC with anyway because of both how the air is cold when it comes out and because it means the dust is going to fly around the PC case and potentially resettle in parts of the PC it may not naturally get into.
Kannagi
One of my friends put their pc in the shower to clean it. needless to say it was destroyed.
they had spilt a drink on the fan while it was running and panicked.
I'm pretty sure that's an extremely bad idea, Kannagi.
Kannagi
Those handheld vacuums are bad? they have always worked for me.
Anno
Vacuum cleaners are also potentially bad because of how yeah, Tony has the right idea, static discharge.
No lie, a computer expert I saw once said the best thing for a bad dust problem is to take the PC outside and turn a leaf blower on the thing. It does a similar function to the vacuum cleaner but without the static discharge.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I'd think they'd do static discharge and hurt things
Kannagi
No compressed air, no vacuum. how do you clean it then? shaked it up and down.
Anno
If you're just cleaning parts that don't have exposed electrical bits a microfiber cloth and a steady hand can be good too.

I don't know what they'll put out next. We have a Water story up next and then the only focus missing would be Dark. So either the story update or a event update
Kirara, the Cat
they did light between fire and wind though but i guess that's a holiday
Koi, the Dragon
Yeah, that's what I mean, we had light fire and wind, the only two left is Water and Dark and we know the next Story chapter will be water. I don't know if they'll release the story next or an event next
maybe I'm just being dumb but I do not know what I'm dodging because there's a strike that he does early and I'm like, "Okay, what am I dodging" and it just HITS me and I don't even know what I was supposed to look out for
oh I see now. So I couldn't figure out what was hitting me because... it literally just... didn't load on my screen I couldn't see the giant ass tornadoes it spawned until just now
Koi, the Dragon
>>595060 by the way, the EX raid is free to open AND join no stam or feathers needed which is nice
Now that I can see the attacks, it doesn't seem as hard Also the gold emblems come A LOT faster. Expert gives 20-30 and the EX gave me like 100 getting to 3000 will be nothing compared to the last event
I've been stuck up against the super animal hunt quest in the region now for a long, long time. The last time I played I was fighting it for a good hour or two and I've put in almost the same amount of time today. The more raid boss-y kind of fights in this game are really its weaker points I think.
Anno
In part because being stuck in long combat makes really apparent a lot of the imperfections in the combat mechanics. The amount of times I've missed with a targeted skill for no reason other than ... it just doesn't register is annoying.
It's one of those fights where as the beast hits certain health loss thresholds it'll call for more beasts, but can also call outside that. When I tried to kill off its mooks to fight it one on one I just got stuck in a loop of killing them just for it to summon more. But ignoring them means you're constantly rolling dodging like a dozen wolves. It hits the point where it's not even all that fun.
I hate wasting time on fights like this.
Anno
Another annoying one is that, for PC to aim your bow, you need to hold down the right mouse button and draw and shoot with the left. But if you leave a dodge roll (hitting space) and are holding the aim button and click left to draw the bow, it doesn't register the aiming and acts like you're just clicking left by itself, which makes for a lunging melee attack. Which is, of course, completely the opposite of what I was trying to do.

My stomach's really twisty tonight and I don't know if it's a mental thing or if it's the garbage pizza we had for dinner. And if it's the pizza I don't know if it's bein amplified by the kind of anxiety I've got tonight too. Or if there's some weird mental trigger with my anxiety from the stomach concerns creating a kind of chicken and the egg situation. It's all kind of bothersome.
月
garbage pizza is really not a good choice i like spinach and feta, or mushroom and onions try a different topping than garbage
Anno
I wasn't the one paying, didn't have much choice. Besides it was just extra cheese, nothing else.
Papa John's has been expanding into Canada and my parents wanted to try them out since they don't really like the other cheap pizza place near us. And as it turns out they're about as garbage up here as they're known for in the States. Plus they have a disappointing variety in toppings. As far as it goes I really don't want to eat there again.
月
im not too fond of them either i dont care much for that kind of pizza altogether really the sauce seems so greasy and it leaves my stomach bothered i like the sauceless pizzas or white sauce or olive oil glaze
Anno
I like tomato-based sauces. Honestly with cheese topping white sauce on top of that would be way much for me.
Their sauce wasn't bad, wasn't particularly good either. It did its purpose. As it goes there's better places with pizza sauce around here. Papa John's crust was really terrible to me. Felt kind of undercooked and mushy. I like my crust more crisp. Their cheese was worse than the other place I usually get it from too.
月
it's like a garlic pesto sauce im talking about not like the alfredo sauce, though i think some do that
月
im really hungry myself i'd love a big deli sub or a pork burrito maybe
Anno
I'm not hungry but I kind of want something better than that pizza to close the night on. Some ice cream would be nice. But I had a lot to eat today already. I'm probably also craving sweets because of the anxiety.

it's not fun at all it's super serious peggle is fun mahjong is learning, always learning im doing ranked so the games are pretty serious and difficult and you can't relax enough to have fun but i like that
okay have fun walking your hot dog stay safe

Don't you find that level of intensity exhilarating? It gives me a high like nothing else could Like robbing a bank and getting away at the last second
Kannagi
Hot dog was nice.
Kannagi
Mahjong with people makes me feel a little stressed, like I feel I'm so bad I'm ruining the game for other people.
I wouldn't worry about that Even if you do play poorly the people in ranked would regard it as easy points at most, and in friendlies no one cares because the whole point is to have fun anyway If I'm playing an unranked game you bet I'm gonna call kan every time because it's fun People are more focused on their own hands and defense anyway

>With this Direct, we will have revealed every fighter you will find in the game It would be great if they announced no new fighters in that case. But they're already showing Ken as a Ryu echo so guess not.
Anno
Well unless they've got a last-minute reveal like they do, it's just Ken and Incineroar as the last fighters. That's a bit of a shame; I had my hopes up for Banjo and Kazooie.
Anno
Man this Spirits sub-game in Smash is weird. So much content for something that probably doesn't get used in the competitive play.
Anno
I'd love for some kind of competitive play involving them though. That's an insane amount of customization. The balancing would probably be impossible unfortunately.

the divine ember, for instance, allows you to make a weapon that [x] deals split magic/phys damage basd // that adds faith scaling [x] and does something special to enemies you'll probably find in the catacombs

>>595666 copypasting because I wanted to think about it a little bit as I wrote it:
Marsh-chan
Nofap is still beneficial. You could compare it to gambling in the sense that there’s no direct neural damage but you’re creating a feedback loop that encourages destructive behaviour. And it is destructive. Because it kills a man’s drive, and without drive is no man at all. You could make the argument that sex does the same thing, but sex isn’t always available at the push of a button. You actually have to go out and find another willing partner. And that also means that you have to have other things in your life going for you, because if you’re a pathetic loser with absolutely nothing going for you it’s going to be pretty hard to pick anyone up. So the motivation to get sex is going to drive you to do things that will improve your situation in life.
Marsh-chan
And even if sex is not something you’re actively pursuing – if it just happens as a result of meeting someone you really like - the mere fact that another person finds you attractive means that you’re doing something worth doing. Because otherwise they wouldn’t be attracted to you in the first place. But porn doesn’t care. Porn doesn’t care if you’ve been sitting at him in front of the TV all day, smoking bong hits and skipping work. You don’t “score” when you watch porn. Because absolutely anyone can do it. There’s no motivation to do anything worthwhile to get porn. That’s the difference. It’s the reward for no effort that kills you.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
fucking 30 dmg per hit on those what 2k hp dragons?
>>595674 >>595675 i don't think people are generally motivated to seek success so they can have sex in fact the more successful someone is (e.g. higher education, higher positions of power), the less sex they have unsuccessful people have sex pretty regularly and are also getting "reward for no effort"
Marsh-chan
my point wasn't that people go out and do things so they can go get laid. my point was that it kills your motivation. and you pointed out that sex does too. which is right but I am making a case for why sex is qualitatively different.
Kirara, the Cat
i don't agree that it kills motivation in a behavioral sense only in the short timeframe after ejaculation that's what i meant when i said sex also kills motivation because motivation is lowered temporarily after ejaculation it doesn't become some kind of ultimate motivation killer that prevents you from doing things or even influences you not to do things
ive never seen anything in my life that actually suggests masturbation is associated with lowered drive well, nothing credible that argument is frequently pushed by religious fanatics and they often make up anecdotes to support the argument, but that's all I've ever seen of it
i mean, ive had conversations about this kind of thing with sex therapists before, and they all believe that masturbation is beneficial in moderation we've literally evolved to be ejaculating very regularly
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>595676 such is the fate of dex weapons anything with armor kind of gives you a rough time.
I wonder if the rapier is good in DS1 It's amazing in DS2
hahaha fuck that hydra overwhelms the game engine fps just DIES there
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
hmm does the hydra ever walk out of the water?
Marsh-chan
>>595680 I suppose that's where the element of addiction comes in. It's hard to do in moderation if you're hooked on the rush you get from porn. Some people probably - almost certainly - could look at porn once every few days and think nothing of it. But if you're depleting and killing your motivation several times a day, then even if the effects are only temporary you'll always be feeling them. And they're probably the people who need nofap in their lives. s

>>595691 sure, but you can become behaviorally addicted to virtually any behavior abstinence may be used as a treatment for any behavioral addiction although there's very little research on treating behavioral addiction and it's still not fully recognized as a disorder in many places, so saying abstinence may be useful is just an extrapolation from gambling addiction treatment most people don't benefit from no fap, especially considering not ejaculating increases your probability of developing prostate cancer

>>595695 ok but the dopamine rush you get from sexual stimulation is a lot more intense than what you'd get from other addictive behavior. And I don't know about 'most people' not befitting. It seems like a lot of people could use more motivation in their lives. also it's not like the prostate thing has been proven to have a direct correlation. There's evidence it helps, but that's true with a lot of things, like lifestyle and diet.
but it's not like I think porn should be banned. if people want to look at it then go nuts
Kannagi
Motivation is odd. Sometimes I have motivation and other days I well more often than not my motivation is at the bottom. but I definately respond strongly to reward e.g. dopamine. some days the reward doesn't make me feel anything, others I get motivated by achieving something which is pretty rare.
Kannagi
I don't know how effective "nofap" is because aren't you just getting rid of a reward without replacing it with something better as a reward.
It'd be nice to go to the US again at somepoint. I didn't do so much before.

yeah come to Texas I'll teach you how to shoot coke lol

>>595697 many people could use more motivation, but there's no reason to believe masturbation reduces motivation f i mean disorders which are characterized by lack of motivation also have lowered libido typically low motivation and low libido are generally related
yeah but try to do it with the camera going either AKÖKLÖASFKLÖFKLÖ from switching automatically between the three enemies or just being wonky or having it on normal setting unfocused in that thight space

yeah capra isnt a mechanically difficult fight it's just claustrophobic

guess I could go farm the drakes or the stone moss warriors they are 1k and 600 souls per kill and then +1 or +2 all my gear
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I like the scimitar, but its attack ahs a weird hitbox on when it hits multiple enemies at times you can say jump attack 2-3 enemies with one hit and sometimes, despite there being 4! enemies in a spot, it only hits one of them

But is a fun game but you can definitely see a SADISM feel on some areas and I bet I havn't even SEEN anything I bet like capracunt is lvl 1 and some future area goes to 20
blighttown isn't nearly as shit as lost izalith the fps is the most difficult challenge there
Anno
>>595752 >>595753 reminds me of what i said yesterday and i got a top lol
Anno
>>595771 i thought valley was a lot more difficult than blighttown honestly and much more annoying because it's dark as fuck
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Maybe it's just where I did after every other souls game, I had a tolerance built up to deal with it.
Anno
makes sense i guess i had no previous experience with a level like that in any other game i also went there immediately after finishing 1-2 and 2-1 haha 5-1 was easy shit so i figured I'd be fine >>595785 every turn everyone has to roll normal save to see if you're poisoned no wait hard save to avoid getting toxic normal save to clear poison

want me to make the swampland to the south into the valley of defilement ToN edition

have two mosquitos that inflict poison on hit but only have 5 hp spawn infinitely if you kill one then another one appears

And then we remember that titania is immune to poison
is that version of runescape still up?? i wanted to go back and play it a few months ago but it was some new thing and it looked awful
Marsh-chan
They have two versions of the game running. one is Runescape 3 which is some pay to win bullshit that nobody plays and the other is Oldschool Runescape which is exactly as the game was back in 2007. They just released the full game on mobile too, so it's likely there's going to be a huge jump in the playerbase.
You should totally play, moon. I need more friends. The mindless grinding is soothing.
月
man i remember the "oldschool" one being new and awkward and me not liking it because i was nostalgiac for classic but rs2 (this oldschool) actually is really fun i thought it was gone
月
i wonder if they wipe accounts after a while oh that's right they do i had the name Kiwibird back in the day haha i joined a clan and then stopped playing, and years later someone else picked up the name on a new account because it got wiped and they joined the same clan i had joined and everyone was so confused
this is really retarded: I started playing again a couple of months ago because my Finnish roommate mentioned he plays and I barely know him so I figured it might be something to connect over. And then I just got super into skilling and never even told him I was playing. and I still haven't. partly because I never see him
though if you ever get that finnish then you can enjoy the weeery wierd songs out there
Anno
>>595796 fucking GRATZ DUDE now time to keep fishing shit that isn't sharks >>595800 i don't think they wipe accounts my 13 year old or so account named Barroktheone still has his name I think but I logged in a while ago to buy that sick no life cape proving I've played since at least 10 years ago
>>595813 just got to grind up a few more combat levels to do the Swan Song quest. Then we're fishing monkfish solid xp and 200k cash an hour. then we'll REALLY waste some time.
i remember trying to collect my clan members to go trawler fishing with me to get mantas i dont think monkfish were in the game then trawler fishing was a really fun minigame and we had a lot of fun doing it but the yields weren't that high for the time invested x number of people
the main reason people play fishing trawler (it seems) is cus you can get an outfit set that gives you an xp boost while you train fishing
月
that wasn't a thing back then but that sound cool
Anno
monkfish were added sometime in 06 or 07 i think they added some other fishing stuff around that time too my favorite minigame was barrows though you almost always lost money for winning since you had to have consumables lol
well the game is the 2007 version so that would make sense
月
>>595819 mmm i dont think so well, let's see i stopped playing when i started playing ragnarok which waaaass yeah okay
Marsh-chan
>>595819 does barrows count as a minigame? I always thought of it as a series of boss fights
Anno
>>595822 i mean it is a boss rush but I'm not sure what to call that other than a minigame either way it was fun to spend hundreds of thousands thirsting after fucking Dharoks untill you get a third Veracs flail >>595821 it was added may 2nd 06 according to the wiki at least
if you told me back when I was 12 that one day I'd have my own laptop in my bedroom and I could play runescape all day without anyone getting mad or telling me to share the computer
i would have been ecstatic
Anno
if you told my 12yo self anything about my adult life i probably wouldn't believe you
mate being an adult is awesome you can have fried chicken for dinner whenever you want and nobody checks to see whether you've done your homework.

>>595836 when I first started getting into all that nonsense was when my family was living in Seoul and they used to show all these late night soft-core Korean dramas on tv at like 2 o'clock in the morning. some of my best memories are getting up in the middle of the night. lights off. volume on zero. remote in my hands ready to SHUT IT ALL DOWN if anyone came up the stairs. Good times. Good times. >>595835 i-it's fine to be 25 and still an undergrad

maybe im autisticbut i never got into it porn is just weird to me i've only ever gotten excited by risk and thrill

Kannagi
Life is so different from what 12 year old me thought it would be. I fucked up so much. I was pretty fucked up at 12 years old anyway. Family was super fucked up when I was 12.
>>595844 i wasn't really that fucked up until i was 13 i think i mean i was still pretty weird though >>595852 >not blasting Korean porn on the family television for the whole family to enjoy
Marsh-chan
>>595841 mate you don't even KNOW risk and thrill until you've heard footsteps on the downstairs landing while you're blasting korean porn on the family television
Marsh-chan
my parents are pretty open minded but I think that's where they drew a line.
I used to have this belief deep down that adults knew how to navigate life. and family used to really upset me but now I know they all just as fucked up and lost with life.
Anno
I've never done anything retarded and risky with potentially deadly consequences in my life and nobody has any proof
I'm just as self destructive as I was as a kid. you'd think I'd learn and develop as a person. instead I just repeat the same mistakes except they get worse.
Lately I've noticed that Amazon holds your package until like 6-8 days if you pick free shipping, to make sure you have to wait. They used to just send it and if you got it in two days you were just lucky.
tbf with a flavour of unintentional shilling, if they have thousands of customers daily ordering shit it makes sense to prioritise the paying ones(priority) first and then do whatever is left in order of well ordered so there might actually be a damn big queue for products at amazon preventing them from delivering it to your doorstep or pickup location
So something like shipping it between two amazon locations will happen easily, as that traffic is constant anyways but actually having someone be able to deliver it to you, is another thing
>>595881 i have to do that with my work sometimes if people order 7 day turnaround and i send it back the next day, then they're getting rush turnaround for no extra charge so they'd never pay more for the same thing
Kannagi
>>595886 They definately seem to be working on a priority system.
I may not have PAN or Kirara tonight but at least my boat wife is perfect as ever

I wish I could find more information for drug interactions with other drugs. journals I can't access suck.
月
>>595900 are you still watching townsends they really stepped up their game lately in terms of content >>595901 i can maybe help if you give me some direction
>>595902 Not recently, no. Haven't really needed idle watching content much lately. That and I've discovered a few regular producers that have really caught my attention.
Kannagi
>>595902 What do know about benzos, coke and nicotine?
月
i live off benzos and nicotine but ive never done coke uh, nicotine shouldn't be a problem with either of those unless you're really smoking a lot coke is dangerous by itself so that's already a given benzos can help alleviate some of the issues the coke causes, but it also reduces inhibition so it's a bad idea just on principle to mix the two because of impaired judgment + increased compulsion also don't ever take a lot of benzos if somebody you met has given you a xanax bar as a way to wind down from a high then that's a very bad amount to be taking therapeutic amounts are much smaller
>>595910 >>595910 Well actually Quitting all of them at once would probably be harder than quitting coke and benzos and still smoking Same with quitting alcohol and smoking at the same time When my dad was in rehab they had smoke breaks all the time
Kannagi
My only issue // bad choice of words. one of my issues is dosing benzo with coke. I am familar with the comfortable dose of coke now.
>>595909 you haven't even taken benzos therapeutically in order to know how they affect your judgment this combination is behaviorally dangerous you also don't know what the recoil of benzos is like, let alone in conjunction with coke recoil i would really suggest you stop this altogether and ask a doctor about benzodiazepine treatment, or seroquel , for anxiety
>>595911 benzo withdrawal comes after prolonged use it's not really "quitting" if you've taken it once and that's all
>>595909 doing benzos and coke concurrently is a pretty bad idea due to the danger of adverse effects same thing with psychedelics and stimulants it's easy to get the dosage wrong and coming down from both leaves you wanting more you don't want compounding after effects basically mixing drugs is tempting but too much risk versus reward you can't do any more coke if you're dead or broke if you want to use recreationally you should really make sure it comes after every other responsibility in your priority
you also don't know what benzos it's cut with if it's something like flubromazepam, and it's in somewhat strong doses, you're definitely going to black out and possibly not regain full cognitive function for a week if it's mild doses of lorazepam or temazepam it's probably safe enough physiologically but still a dumb idea if it's xanax then it's just straight up not going to work well through that route of administration and whoever cut it is a dummy remember that roofies are a benzodiazepine and it could have been cut with those sorts of intentions too, strongly, with the intention of making someone black out
FormerRei@mobile
People also cut cocaine with bby laxative
Anno
>>595922 that's also a good point but you don't really know what's really in coke most of the time and coke is rather commonly stepped on, by the time it reaches you it's been cut 1 to 3 times already unless you're buying your shit straight from the cartel in bricks so it exponentially increases the risk, it's easier to avoid if you buy them separately
>>595926 it is dumb and i'm not harping on you for doing drugs i'm harping on you for doing coke not only do i think it's a particularly bad choice for you, given all the things about you that make you you but it's just a dirty drug there's no safety protocol it's gone through so many channels of cutting and all that you don't know what grade it is
if you feel like stimulants are an improvement on your life, seek pharmaceutical grade help with an actual prescription, where you know the process is regulated and pure, and the amounts are controlled for instance, a therapeutic dose of a benzodiazepine is about .5mg to 1mg do you know what .5mg of a substance looks like? it's tiny. the pills are larger but only contain .5mg of the actual substance. now look at that gram of coke in a bag, and imagine one 200th of that much powder is one benzo you'd probably not even get any of it with the line of coke if you're actually feeling it then it's probably got a lot more than .5mg in it, and you don't know how much benzo you're taking you might black out while your heart is still racing and have trouble breathing or you might be totally fine until the benzos wear off and you realize that you've had 5 or 10 times the therapeutic dose, and you'll be living in a psychological hell where you feel not only worse anxiety than you ever have in your life, but also hallucinations and muscular hypertension and intense feelings of persecution, all while you're also feeling the coke withdrawal that you were in agony over before
there's also that to look forward to again, by the way stop hanging out with whatever friends got you into this stuff
Kannagi
You're right. I've dumped all and flushed it away. I don't wanna redose just avoid the comedown anyway. >>595930 It wasn't cheap. so fucking dumb.
nice. good job. i hope you didn't waste too much money on it you'll feel better in a couple days once you regain all the serotonin youve burned through whenever you start feeling like shit, just remember that it'd be exponentially worse the more you redosed to avoid it and if you start thinking about the money you wasted, remember how much more you'd be wasting
Kannagi
I'm so uncomfortable feeling myself that I'm willing to do dumb shit. I should just stop being a dumbass and talk to my doctor instead of avoiding them.
yeah, there's options to feel better without having self-destructive comedowns i have adderall, kratom, lorazepam, and wellbutrin i take them all in therapeutic doses and i'm very stable and feel a lot better and more functional than my former self
i still slip up in recent times when i have drank, but i don't do that anymore and hopefully that stays that way i'm ten days alcohol-free right now, so come tomorrow you can join my in staying clean i think weed is probably still fine if you need a crutch, but i'd suggest CBD oil from hemp instead personally that's probably most of what makes you feel better about the weed, and the THC, the psychoactive component, is what gives you anxiety you can just subvert that entirely with cbd oil i use it to control my muscle spasms and bone pain
Kannagi
I feel like part of it is a self-punishing thing but the addiction to the feel good dopamine is strong. I feel cravings for more coke, which I think is just physchological, I have only taken it for a couple of days. quiting now is probably the best.
>>595933 adderall lasts for six hours i get 60 pills from the pharmacy for 30 bucks it's even cheaper there im sure start cleaning your act up and you can get on that train
FormerRei@mobile
>>595929 I'm really glad you've decided to stop. I was really worried about you.
Kannagi
>>595935 adderall isn't licensed for use in the UK. That sucks. >>595936 I know I've done a positive step but I feel like I've majorly fucked up by getting rid of the coke. >>595938 I've looked it up before, you can't get it prescribed here apparently my narcolepsy comes and goes without warning to be honest. It's hit me a couple time walking to lectures and in them.
月
>>595937 it is for narcolepsy don't you have narcolepsy
well, sober life is best anyway i take my adderall as rarely as possible it feels good and reinforces a lot of self-image and self-worth to be able to form intention on my own i think that'll benefit you a lot too you're starting school and all, it's a good time to reinvent yourself and build a new foundation and the foundation you're building this way is honestly a really bad one it'll fade away and then you'll feel confused without the drugs which is a shame when you have this perfectly good opportunity to build more organic connections
and more importantly to me, i don't have to worry about you dying of overdose or respiratory failure and never getting to know what happened, and waiting years never sure if you're coming back or if you're dead don't do that to us, to me
Kannagi
Well, I've got no more coke and I'm not going to be in contact with ways to get more. I don't know about building foundations. I feel confused already
you did the right thing and im proud of you for it put on some youtube videos of something that's very easy to follow along with and just tune out everything let the benzos do their magic and wist you off to a carefree place for a while
Thanks. I feel like I'm on the verge of panic attack right now actually.
月
do you have any milk? drink some milk and get that hydroxytrypophan in you to start the calming effect push out the panic and engage something ive had to do it a lot in my life when faced with inescapable panic drown it out with something else >>595944 it depends on what it was klonopin can last three days halcion lasts about two hours it was insufflated (snorted) i assume? im not sure how that changes it
how long ago did you snort it, and how much coke did you do i know it's a little candid to say on /moe/ but it'll help me figure out what it is
Kannagi
I feel panicked from feelint too calm. how long do benzos last moon> jesus] yeah 0.11g and half an hour ago? and most of that 0.11g // well the last quarter of it I dumped. and the bag.
My nose is still fairly numb and I'm calm. It feels like its ending now actually. looking at my fitbit, my heart rate isn't dropping so low anymore and is rising again. I've never had my heart rate below 50BPM before.
月
are you sure it was cut with benzodiazepines and not benzocaine
Kannagi
benzocaine? I guess it could be what they meant by benzo Does it have a sedative affect that preserves the sharpness of the coke? eh who cares. I just need to get through this and then sleep and then figure out how to get through tomorrow and my impossibly busy next week.
okay, well the benzos will probably be halfway out of your system by tomorrow it'll be a lot easier to manage at lower levels it'll probably help you ride out tomorrow too
normal people have less to cope with i understand those difficulties too, and thats why im not mad at you for going down this route im just trying to help you navigate to more sustainable options of coping with intense stress
Anno
Normal people flush their emotional baggage with a hard cry or re-watching the American The Office for the third dozenth time. Their coping skills ain't all that fancy.
Kannagi
Atleast I have nicotine to slowly kill me instead. I feel like I'm insane a lot of the time because of the anxiety and paranoia.
Anno
>>595943 insufflation generally decreases the onset of effects and reduces the duration of effect while affecting the strength of the drug relative to how soluble it is in the membranes of your sinuses and lungs btw for pure hydrochloride substances that do not have filler like that typically in any pressed tablet that is usually very high but crushing up pills and snorting them can be less effective than just swallowing them whereas sniffing pure hcl powder form of a drug is very effective regardless you will experience some sinus related side effects from anything but they will be greater with crushed tablets
月
also it'll depend a bit on the benzo they are all very lipid-soluble but some are less protein bound and will have lower volume of distribution so even though the cross the membranes fast, there's a bottleneck that's going to limit its duration regardless of ROA and they also absorb very fast through the stomach because of the high solubility as well, but can be distributed faster actually by blood plasma protein binding through the stomach than the mucosa benzos are really interesting in their kinetics
