The thing about elemental mercury though is that it doesn’t wet things like water or other liquid metals like Gallium do. The surface tension is so strong that virtually none of it is going to end up staying on your tongue

Tbh, I think I’d much prefer to try my luck licking Mercury rather than Uranium

Don’t worry, you may not live in the US, but you’re definitely an American in spirit.

And you clearly don’t seem to have problem with US prison system, only that wrong people are sent there. You’re as full of shit as the people you think you’re criticizing

Soviet Union: Sequesters fascists and counter-revolutionaries for reeducation after Nazi Germany murdered millions of people while invading the USSR with the express purpose of genocide.

The US: Uses drug prohibition as a bullshit excuse to systematically arrests racial minorities in their millions in order to continue enslavement after the abolition of chattel slavery. The conditions are so brutal that the death rate for modern US prison inmates exceeds that of the Soviet gulag system just a decade into recovering from the devastation wrought by WW2.

Lemmitor turbolib: Wow, these are morally equivalent. If you replace the words “fascist comprador looking to resume the brutalization of the working class” with the words “black people” then you tankies are starting to look an awful lot like 4channers!

lmao this lemmitors comparing Hexbear users to 4channers shit never gets old. When you liberals meet someone far to your left it must really break your brain for you to lump us in with fascists.

You know what I almost never see referred to as edgy out of hand? People who don’t want to fully abolish the US prison system, which to this day kills far more people far more often than the Soviet gulag system did shortly after the end of WW2. And that’s really strange considering the US prison system is designed from the ground up to maintain a pool of slave labor by incarcerating racial minorities on bullshit drug offenses. Personally, I’d much rather prison be used to keep dangerous reactionaries from causing trouble while they’re being reeducated.

Talking to someone who justifies this kinda shit is always a trip. They’ll say that people who aren’t earning a living wage just need to work harder and pick up a marketable skill to improve their situation. But you can simultaneously get them to agree that many of these low wage “unskilled” jobs need to exist for society to continue functioning, so which fucking is it?

The answer is that the capitalist parasites and their horde of boot lickers believe it’s totally acceptable for there to exist an underclass of human beings born to work until their bodies give out for the enrichment of their superior employer.

They can’t afford to live a dignified life doing the shit I need them to do? That’s fine, just toss 'em into the hole when they stop working and replace them with the next generation.

Honestly man, I’m getting real sick and tired of pretending to be above violent retribution when it comes to these people. My blood fucking boils each and every time I need to look my boss in the eye and pretend to smile as they say farcical shit like “we’re all a family here” or “let us know if there’s anything you need” while paying me exactly the minimum wage and hiring the exact number of employees it takes for them to avoid giving any of us enough hours to qualify for benefits.

Anyway, Stalin had the right idea with gulags, and we should bring those back. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

That makes it even worse. Imagine putting in all this effort and taking all this supposed risk to create a new social media platform free of the pitfalls that come with a for profit site like reddit only to slowly adopt the exact same corporate friendly code of conduct while purposefully curating a community of annoying shitheads who are nearly indistinguishable from the horde of cretins on reddit.

If making a new reddit is legitimately the best they can do, then they should absolutely just scuttle the entire project.

Fair enough, I’ll DM you the link

It’s not on Netflix, it’s on Amazon Prime which is arguably even worse I guess. I can get you a direct download link if you promise not to post it publicly (I’m not allowed to share it, I would be banned from the place I got it from if they were to find out I did)

I actually feel the same way as you do about musical theater for the most part, I’ve always struggled to understand the appeal. For some reason Hazbin Hotel has been somewhat of an exception for me, no idea why.

Nice, it’s a fun watch. Keep in mind that the Youtube pilot has different voice actors, is a lot less polished than the professionally produced episodes, and it’s now considered to be of dubious canon to the rest of the show since a lot of changes had been made in the four years it took to produce season one. Still, I’d recommend you watch that first because there’s a good chance a bunch of it still applies.

The first six episodes of season one are already released, and the remaining two will be dropping on Friday at 12AM GMT.

Seriously, what the fuck is this guy’s backstory that made him this way? First he’s a political outsider who manages to win a senate election on a squad adjacent platform, and now he’s raving mad standing on buildings to demonstrate his unparalleled, unconditional support of Israel and the genocide they are presiding over?

I have never seen a politician this genuinely, deeply, personally, emotionally, and publicly invested into any matter of policy at all. His brain must seriously be swiss cheese right about now between the stroke and the worms.

Kratom is a plant containing several natural opioids. These are fully structurally distinct from the classical opioids like Codeine or Morphine and their semi-synthetic derivatives like Oxycodone, Heroin, Hydromorphone, etc. But they activate the same receptors in the brain, and produce a very similar high.

It’s currently legal in most US states, but the DEA really wants to criminalize it more and more as it grows into mainstream awareness. Thankfully it looks like they’ve yielded to popular backlash against scheduling it for the time being. While Kratom is an opioid, it is honest to god the safest opioid in existence. The most abundant active substance is only a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor (the primary receptor responsible for mediating the euphoric effects of opioid drugs). As a result, it is extremely difficult to fatally OD on the stuff, there isn’t enough respiratory depression to halt breathing even at high doses, and it has a ceiling effect that prevents the out of control dose spiraling typical of attempts to compensate for growing tolerance with full agonist opioids. That said, Kratom does produce at least one full agonist opioid, but the concentrations are comparatively low enough to be ignored unless you’re using an extract.

This combination of accessibility, legality, and safety profile makes Kratom a very popular and effective drug to use as an aid to quit harder opioids. If you have a tolerance to harder opioids you won’t be able to effectively get high on Kratom thanks to the ceiling effect, but it will seriously take the edge off unless you were accustomed to large fentanyl doses.

It is also one of the only means of finding pain relief now that doctors almost universally transform into cops when it comes time to discuss being prescribed opioids.

(I just noticed that your comment is ambiguous, you’ve mentioned Kratom and Kava, but I’m not sure if you meant to only ask about Kava. The two are completely unrelated drugs with different effects and mechanisms of action. The only similarity between them is that they are both plant based drugs that have slipped through criminalization in the US.)

Also, I’m not aware of any cultural appropriation concerns with either of them, and they are not at risk of extinction like Peyote cactus is.

hell yeah, that’s the spirit!

I used to be so fucking careful when it came to doing drugs the safe and responsible way. I’d read for hours about pharmacology and shit while taking in as many first hand accounts online as I could before agonizing over exactly how much I should use on my first go down to the mg and cut ratio.

Well, that mindset turned out to not be sufficient for all types of drugs, and I got addicted to opiates despite the utmost care in my initial experimentation. Things slowly fell off the rails from there. I’ve done so many absurd and horrendous things to get high and avoid the hell of opioid withdrawal. I’ve gone through so many sketchy batches of disgusting, stepped on street dope out of sheer desperation.

I’ve been clean from full agonist opioids for years now, but I think my brain is broken ,and I can no longer be arsed in the slightest on breaking my habit of doing stupid doses of a drug before I even know what it’ll be like.

yeah, it’s definitely a good suggestion to toss out there in general, there really are a ton of people out there who genuinely do need to drink more water and just haven’t realized yet that mild dehydration is directly causing some of their ailments

In this case though I’m pretty certain it’s tied to the Diphenhydramine because the ache only comes on after I use it.

It seems there are two broad sects of pro-advertising assholes on the internet:

There are the people who believe watching ads is a necessary evil for art to exist at all, and their willingness to toil in the marketing mines is some sort of moral virtue they have over the ad blocking “freeloaders”.

And there are the tech perverts who actually get excited about the latest fucking spyware hidden throughout their OS, browser, and apps because they take some sort of sick enjoyment in being subjected to increasingly personalized ads as if the only problem with marketing brainwashing is that it just isn’t quite relevant enough to their interests yet.

The first group is annoying, but the second is genuinely terrifying.

I drink a ton of water, I don’t think that’s the problem.

terf island is such a fucking pathetically cucked country lmao, gotta get a special loiscense to buy whipped cream and sleepy time tea is considered a hard drug

There’s nothing concrete really, I was just being hyperbolic about it. More and more often the vasoconstriction manifests in this dull ache in my kidneys that has been scaring the shit out of me.

wtf election years suck. stop reminding me that four years have passed since four years ago, ban all indications of linear time, this is really fucked up
