That’s usually how it works here in the UK. It’s mostly cameras and the whole process is automated. But then we maybe don’t have as many police per capita.

Taking a shit on next door’s lawn.

What, so bomb the fuck out of a bunch of civilians, spend a few hundred billion, and go home a couple years later leaving a power vacuum and acting confused about why you went there in the first place?

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

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.

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.

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

Or just wipe your arse on the curtains.

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.

Yeah, they messaged all my accounts asking if I wanted to buy in. I actually considered it for an instant, then thought nah, fuck that.

Thank you for your service.

I think “LMAO” would also be a contender.

It was going downhill since they got rid of the woman who was running AMA

Yeah I made the jump a while back with the API thing, welcome

Yeah this is one of the obvious faults in capitalism.

Sync for me, but same. Plus I didn’t like their attitude.

Yeah, I came here when they did the API thing. I was spending too much time on reddit anyway, now I’m reading and gaming more in my free time.
