Just had a meltdown in the trailer park. Yelled and broke a coffee cup, splashed coffee everywhere.

Still sleeping on the porch, it’s cold, my teeth have been hurting and I can’t makeart or do anyrhing else I used to like. If I could off myself easily I probably would.

Unfortunately you’re correct. Even if not everyone is funneled into the prison system, their belongings get taken away and/destroyed. Some even lose beloved pets. I imagine it’s extremely demoralizing having your life broken down to zero and having to rebuild again and again.

Either we get affordable code-compliant housing or we get affordable shanty towns.

Here in the US the trash just piles up in landfills or gets shipped elsewhere. Some does get recycled, but not nearly enough.

In other sectors, we’ve got things like factories polluting poor minorities, and an airforce that can’t stop letting their forever chemicals leak into the environment…

Sounds like things are generally more progressive in Sweden, although the recent trends you mentioned are worrisome. It’s unfortunate some people are willing to sabotage our future for a slighly more comfortable present :/

Yeah, plasma gasification ftw. It apparently takes care of all municiple solid waste:

Maybe try using a file to make flat sides on the outside of the head so you can use a wrench on it? (Not sure if that would be better or worse than the Dremel/slot idea… you would risk scratching the surface of the object it’s on.)

Despite media reporting that she was beaten by Hamas, Argamani went to social media on Friday to say that her words had been taken out of context. She said she was not beaten and her hair was not cut.

“I said, I had cuts all over my head and I was hurt all over my body.” Argamani emphasized that her wounds came from the collapse of a building after it was bombed by the IAF.

“As a victim of October 7, I will not allow myself to be victimized once again by the media,” she said.

And let me be clear. And let me be clear. I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself

The US will keep saying this while continuing to give Israel offensive weapons along with defensive ones.

Thanks. It would have been great if it made it through.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a ship with activists delivering aid from Greece or someplace a few months back? I wonder what became of that…

I hope this one makes it safely.

I should have mentioned my previous usage. At at one point I was using up to three level teapoons a day, which would amount to about 7 & 1/2 gpd. I didn’t do that for very long, as I wasn’t in extreme physical pain.

It’s odd how some people experience withdrawals and others don’t. I’ve gone cold turkey several times and didn’t have a bad time at all. Maybe a runny nose and some sleepiness, and that’s it.

I agree it should not be sold to minors and that it should include harm-reduction info. We do it for alcohol and tobacco, after all.

With climate change causing massive heat waves, everyone probably realized they could have Burning Man at home…

This is mpox, so it’s not monkeys you need to avoid, only MPs… Spread the word!

I’ve taken it for years with no issue except constipation from time to time. Kratom is about as impactful to me as an acetaminophen pill and a couple cups of coffee, which is good since I have to be careful about which substances I put into my body. I take one teaspoon infrequently. The key to taking it is to not take too much. Less=more, since higher dosages start having an inverse effect.

Articles like this one only seem to be creating hysteria where none should exist. We need more proper studies on the plant, but for now people should treat it like anything else: don’t overdo it. I mean, you wouldn’t take 15 acetaminophen tablets, and likewise you shouldn’t take dozens of grams of kratom at once.

Disclaimer: some people can’t keep their dosages low and they will develop a problem, so be careful with the stuff (or don’t even try it if you are worried about becoming addicted).

He a dude that likes to play with reflective spheres on checkered planes. Cool guy :)

I thought it would be okay since I was doing relatively well. Classic rationalization :p At least I’m doing better now. Did some yard work and chatted with a neighbor a bit, which made me feel normal-ish. I just need to stay away from weed until a distant future time when I’m alone. Thankfully I still don’t want to drink.

Thanks for replying~

I should not have smoked weed yesterday. The the horrible truth of my situation came crashing down: it’s weird for me to live here in the trailer park, not working, living on the fricking porch and hanging out here all day.

I’m stuck. My anxiety is high and I don’t want to go anywhere most of the time. I can hear people’s thoughts sometimes, or so it seems. I can’t drive, and the only other option is walking, or riding a bike which is in disrepair and in storage.

There is no other place for me. Rent’s too high everywhere. I spent so long being a hermit and now I just don’t want to deal with this. I feel like an alien no matter where I am, but it’s even worse here.

F landlords. They can upend your life at snap of their money-grubbing fingers and not give a sht whatsoever.
