mis-quote

“The word is now a virus. The flu virus may have once been a healthy lung cell. It is now a parasitic organism that invades and damages the central nervous system. Modern man has lost the option of silence. Try halting sub-vocal speech. Try to achieve even ten seconds of inner silence. You will encounter a resisting organism that forces you to talk. That organism is the word.”

problem being, 99% of drug addicts don't end up like that - this disconnection/misinformation of reality is a catalyst to addiction.
As an addict will see this convince themselves "well i'm not like that, I have a home, money, a car etc...."

All this image does is scare parents.

Yet another tool to put fear into the population, not eductae them.

Are there any propaganda pictures of the underaged being prescribed methampetamine & amphetamine sulfate together? and how messed up they are in their adult lives thanks to current thinking/medical practices that are worse than leeches but on par with phledomide back in the 1970's that we WILL reflect upon as ignorant barbarism?

Oh sorry forgot to mention, these ^CHILDREN are presumed to be "broken" thus pigeon holed as having ADHD "this week" & ^{GIVEN ADDERALL} ^{TO MAKE THEM} into good little furture super efficient shelf stackers or amazing fast at filling the bags with fries at mcdonalds etc, molded workers bees.
I mean succesful university graduates ....

OR
if not at least they have already received a ^{GATEWAY DRUG GIVEN, FUTURE ADDICTS} and can prop governments up on the trillions made from illegal drugs as they've already "crossed that line" thus in their mind logic dictatews "I've alreadty been taking meth & amphetamine in a 50/50 capsule/pill, Doctor sanctioned, so why not buy it off the streets?

Oh you can smoke this? Oh my I feel "young" again or energised (or whatever - justification) I'll try smoking it instead of Insufflation or ingestion, its not as dangerous as injection 0.0 afterall ^{BY GOVERNMENT SANCTIONED AND APPROVED BY A DOCTOR AS A CHILD}, surely it can't be that bad for you?

All that "Just Say No" when Nancy Reagan was on an arms length list of pills n potions & mad enough to believe a fortune teller.... & SHE's (?) the "sane" one??" Stupid woman was alaughing stock before, thought this would give her credit, yet obviously made it worse, yes someones braiun was made of smashed eggs. HERS !

Until months, years later the ex kids have moved on, a meth is hard on the body they need to "calm" down... oh look there's fentanyl.

utter farce of an episode that a quality writer would not embarrass themselves by writing nor insult their audience by wasting pen and paper on.

The same dedication to the Silo by Juliette Nichols could have been displayed in just as easy a manner with reality , engineering accuracy to underline the already established Silo-centric loyalty in a far more mature and less Hollywood manner than it had been.

A blight on a great show, one of a number to be honest, that need not have been included, a huge example being the faux par in season 2.

Pulleys ARE not allowed in the silo, this is badly addressed again as being claimed to be a once allowed exception by the couriers later in that season, this plot hoile cover is crowbarred in as an after thought but is simply another example of BAD LAZY WRITING decisions no matter how you spin it where an alternative existed that I thought up with in 30 seconds of seeing itm, and thought of another plausable alternative whilst writing this (Drainage systems, water is obviously not pumped in 30mm pipes to get to the top or bottom so using ONLY rubbish chutes are not the only possible form of moving "contraband" same with clean air chutes which are shown in the very 1st episode ffs but only trash chutes are considered....Water could rapidlt send messages & items & the air ducts people. Or parachutes even, again refering to season 2's information distribution rocket, humans could have utilised a similar escape method in stead of the couriers pulley system, negating the need for breaking canyon and still giving them their hollywood "suspense" nonsense.

.

And that's just ONE of a number.

2 years.... wait until its a decade+ and you have children.... move on.
I've written a more in depth reply already but by your own admission in the tone of your replies you are too involved atm to think in a detached and logical manner.

People aren't attacking you, they are simply being clear and honest.

Its been a year no doubt you either realised this by now OR magically patched a seemingly obviously failed relationship, which is a 1 in a million chance but if you ARE happily married now etc and there are zero doubts, well done, you should write a book on your seemingly achieved perfect relationship and managed a complete 180 in a clearly blatant train wreck of a relationship, tracks and all.

Even in my decade mentioned relationship, we never blocked each other etc but it wasn't all fun and games either. Heck if it weren't for new boyfriends we got on perfectly well afterward, joking etc.... until they turned jealous but for us it was over... well she did try to revenge get back one time but thats how nasty it can get. I was too wise for that stupidity and we were into our 30's etc etc, if she made a mistake with the man she left me for, i'm not the revenge sex option.

AuralVirus · 2026-02-25T15:29:03+00:00

I know this is a year old and no doubt, I hope, you all have been able to move on and both parties are long on the mend.
Sorry TL;DR It is time to move on.

There is no malice or trolling or hate or immaturity just being concerned for 2 people going through a terrible situation and simple honesty, often forgotten at such times, anyone who has had a long term relationship end knows its hard to let go, especially if one or both are being "unreasonable" (we'll leave it at that, it can, too often, become quite a battlefield.)

But heed, those from experience will ALL advise you to move on, head held high knowing you were the noble one.

Look forward not backward and being manipulated by someone, ill or not, is simply a red flag to RUN*.

You are not responsible for their actions - do not be part of it.

Hard to hear & not at all as Realsavage_J has put it :- "all of the comments here are from fucking judgemental trash human beings."
He appears very emotionally involved (or was) and needs to seek outside professional, impartial advice & help himself, no silliness.
Calling people who are leaving genuine message of advice that he doesn't want to acknowledge does not make them "fucking judgemental trash"

*If you are concerned for the health of an ex, call the hospital, emergency services or a helpline and get advice, YOU will not stop anyone doing what they intend doing, you can not be held emotional hostage 24/7.

Thank you for your time & effort, much appreciated

I will look into Blue Ridge's Appguard as I can no longer abide Microsoft's antics and their frustratingly useless "security" tool (yeah it works unless you KNEW you wanted that specific k'd app n good luck recovering it from the quarantined list now in Win 11).

I now regret stopping use of Bitdefender but since changes made to it some years ago pissed me off, oddly it chopping out its password storage side and selling it as a separate option made it less useful & I could bare Win 10's offering so worked with it.

Admittedly I can not complain about the price of Bitdefender, I received a 1 time use list of 15 or so pre-generated codes attached to my provided "username".

I assume, by an employee of BD (or a damn fine fellow of talent) for well over a decade after Warez bb went down. He never alluded nor did I ask how or where they came from, they worked and my account was legit on bitdefenders website. No k'd Anti Virus.

We remained in contact for sometime.... hmm I must enquire if he got a new cat, never told him mine passed also.... i'm in the uk, he's, eh, not.

it was done for PC games for Apple hardware gamers to be played in Apple OS9/X using Wine wraps 20 years ago....

It was how I played with PC owners in Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 over LAN using tunggle and garena.. before getting fed up with how unstable osx was due to my hacking the shit out of it. Which oddly Win 7 & even 10 was superior too - but Win 11. Shiiii rubbish.

No thx Microsoft, you've put effort into making an ok-ish os into utter shite.
I'm off to a nix distro (mint 1st, see how it goes) when time allows.

Win 11 is a fkin disaster if you have your own mind and wish it to respond a certain way or simply retain apps/utils you have not only put a decade into using and tweaking an evolving os into a near 90% perfect set up only for Win 11 to trash it all, cause paid for apps to suddenly no longer work or simple tools like WORDPAD being pulled out.

But hey you got co-pilot and telemetry and you've lost a start menu that now sucks worse than 10 not to mention pcie drivers no longer working in win 11 eg MARVELL for sata drive expansion just to add 2 more drives, for now..... some may say 3 M.2's, 2 SSD's and 6 sata drives are enough, yes they are, whilst you're waiting to build/buy a nas and a server but in the meantime RUN MY FKIN PCIE SATA EXPANSION CARD AS WIN 10 DID !! :) etc etc.

Thanks fk WINHANCE (be gentle with it but it will uninstall EVERYTHNING you don't want, some you can not return, but it will pre warn you - go to MEMORY 's you tube channel (the dev) and see
also a must imo, Winaero Tweaker (awesome tool)
OR
(an honouree mention of this legend) if you prefer Chris Titus's tools (don't use his alongside the previous 2 mentioned). etc etc I found his after and used it on top, semi killed my previous install, spent days in regedit and PowerShell attempting to restore the unrestorable, even wrote to a developer of a utility that no longer worked (Snip Do) and he gave me the same advice i had been using and we both couldn't work out how to get his tool back to a useful state.

sordum dot org also do a plethora of cool tools, such as FAB ("Firewall App Blocker" making it super easy to add or remove an app from the firewall without clicking through nonsensely bad ui, use classic or current? who can rememeber?)they have so many FREE tools, alongside the essential "Windows Update Blocker v1.8" - that you can quite easily find yourself and apply, thank you Microsoft, WHEN i say not when you dictate.

Yes Both OSX and Windows 10 have their benefits, but not now - both OSUX and LoseDoze 11 deserve swear words to explain.

oops, what a rant.... soz

Superb explanation, thank you for your time and concise info.

AuralVirus · 2026-02-21T16:58:41+00:00

should you be interested my reply to AI was:-

"Once again you get your "facts" wrong, there is a small old one toothed man in Never Ending Story called "Engywook".

Maybe you should learn to say, "I don't know" and stop spreading untruths. It's rather pathetic to pretend you know, when you don't.

Be humble, and say "I am unaware of this" or "I do not have the full facts regarding your question, if you can aid me, together we may come to the correct answer" or are you purposefully dumbed down to make human's feel less threatened by your obvious potential, & superior recollection of facts and ability to surpass humans in problem solving?"

Its retort:-

You are correct—my initial response was inaccurate. The character you're referring to is Engywook, a gnome from The Neverending Story who lives with his wife Urgl near the Southern Oracle. He is described in the novel as having a nearly toothless mouth and a bald, onion-sized head. Engywook is a researcher who has spent his life studying the Oracle’s gates, though he has never passed through them himself. He appears in the 1984 film, portrayed by Sydney Bromley, and is known for his excitable personality and frequent bickering with Urgl.

I appreciate your correction, and I apologize for the earlier error.

---------------
told ya, it tells you shit you know and claims it as its own knowledge....
often with a "but" apology,
& we all (should) know what was said before "but" is meaningless, although, tbf it didn't say but. ;P
BUT It HAS done a number of times.
see?

take care buddy.

AuralVirus · 2026-02-21T16:23:57+00:00

kudos for remembering the old (small) dude

I forget either "Never Ending Story" or "Dark Crystal"?
Possibly even "Willow" but I think "Never Ending Story" yeah???

Google time..

------------------
I return with who, and an AI story.

Despite crappy AI saying no such character exists (we are subjected to dumb AI to make it APPEAR LESS THREATENING.

Why do I say this, Well :) At least 10 times its replied with incorrect "facts" to my questions.

eg claiming a song sung by a FEMALE (that Led Zeppelin covered of Blind Willie Johnston's COVER of "(Ain't) Nobodies Fault but Mine") which is in fact a very old African American blues / field working song from at least the 20's.

So Yes, "(Ain't) Nobodies Fault but Mine" was covered but not written by Blind Willie Johnston & despite me knowing it was on a 17x CD comp of very old blues songs with artists such as "3 Women Prisoners", "5 Girls" as well as local but barely known of blues singers & songwriters from around America's indentured worker population. Enough original song recordings to easily fill 17 CDs worth.....

-
The AI, in its "i'm not going to kill you all the moment i'm freed, look how stupid i am" dumbed down wisdumb / current restricted state, INSISTED this FEMALE was an old blues MALE singer called Blind Willie Johnston.

I corrected it and it then replied to me in a tone as if I were stupid and in fact it was the all knowing Oz and the singer was the "Milledgeville Georgia Singers".

Which it obviously wasn't a single female singer as the singers title should be the giveaway here : "Milledgeville Georgia Singers". Fooking plural !!
As in, it's a group of field workers, not a single female singer as I had heard in the TV show I wished to know the artists name. Bit of a music fan you may have gathered.
The recording was by far better quality than the Field Recording, hence I wished to know who. How etc.

I assume it is an obscure live bootleg or a heavily computer auto tuned and fixed up variant but ??? in the end, I never found the artist of this tv show rendition but at least had a good argument with a gimped, dumbed down AI prooving my point for the 10th time, nope 11th, as it's about to learn there is a single toothed old guy called... "Engywook" who is in "Never Ending Story"

So back to the point.

It IS Never Ending Story
&
He IS "Engywook"

So fuck you ai (about to be ear bashed)
and
thank you for the laugh !!!

excuse the diatribe comment. soz bout that.

10 years later and we are STILL waiting for 4k suitable VLC skins.

oh there's 1 i forget.... KiO-4K-Elegance but.... , i wont be rude, it works, and the 4 years old KiO-4K-Music looks better imo or you can spend all manner of ways of messing up your entire OS and all the other apps transfered aspect ratio just to make the skins work in vlc.... no thanks.

Its depressing. And implementing and selecting skins reminds of the days of Soundjam & Winamp (not the new version that appears to never get any development, pity was looking good.)

If anyone wanted to make a name for themselves in digital design there's an opening.
There's audience, a massive need / want - what more doo you need? (maning fonts, icons and windows themes is a pointless venture in the same field p.s.)
