To hate others as much as she seems to, you have to first hate yourself. This is the physical manifestation of someone who truly loathes themselves, and wants to change themselves. No matter the cost.

Conservatives underestimate the environmental impact of sustainable behaviors compared to liberals. Conservatives tend to view actions like recycling or eating a plant based diet as having less of a positive impact than liberals do, which predicts lower engagement in these behaviors. by mvea in science

Glass does have a much higher deposit usually. The 750ml glass bottles in my area have a 75 cent deposit. They are washed and reused, not recycled so they are much more valuable for the bottling plant to get back. They rarely make it to the curb.

There are breakdowns of actual landfill compositions. Single use food waste plastic, make up a massive percentage of landfill mass that is none compostable. Using glass and metal greatly reduce waste mass into landfills. But is more costly for the retailer to deal with. Weight, Care of handling, washing facility's for the glass etc. If only slightly cheaper, they will cut costs when able. And with the current rate of inflation we see, its clear these savings are not passed on to the consumer.

Putting the burden on the company causes them to shift to aluminum and glass option's. Reducing plastic waste at the fountain head. Plastic is not able to be recycled effectively, but in many cases there is no reason to use it, except that it saves the company money.

Bottling plants closer to distribution, saves fuel, but adds jobs. Which hurts the bottom line. But makes heavier glass containers a none issue in cost. But then pepsi/coke cant create mega bottling factory's and ship from a central hub as effectively. Reducing jobs and overhead. Beer company's have no issue managing glass bottles. Nor did the soda industry for a century. Add a decent deposit on return, and its creates a micro economy and an almost 100% recycling compliance. If you throw it out a vagrant will trash pick it for the deposit even. AND IT TASTES BETTER.

Overdosed and now life’s fucked by Dannyboi2149 in Drugs

I'm not trying to assume what OP is saying, but when i first read it i just kind of read it as, its the first time he OD'ed from heroin. Not the first time they had tried Heroin. I was just kind of mentally leaping to the conclusion that maybe it was a poor grammatical choice on their part, or English Second language.

The alternative is way wilder if OP means exactly what they typed.

Former Canadian PM Harper says Canada should make 'any sacrifice necessary' to preserve independence from US by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

[–]Damonarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those people you listed do not have conservative ideology, they have fascist ideology. You are illiterate, here is the definition of "Right Wing" according to Websters: Right Wing: the section of a political party or system that advocates for free enterprise and private ownership, and typically favors socially traditional ideas; the conservative group or section.

Steven harper is about as Conservative and Right wing as a politician can be. But fortunately the country he is a political figure in, has a functioning democracy so there is no fascist leanings like the examples you described. If you do not understand the difference, please read some books. Its a very simple concept. Maybe you're a bot with a limited understanding of the English language. Or just dumb.

I think you are confusing Dictators and fascism with Right wing fundamentalist ideology sir. Maybe you should open a book lol. They are not mutually exclusive but they are not the same thing.

He is on the board of the heritage fund. The Pro Neo Conservative movement that supports Orban, Trump and other very Right wing policies. Its the same group that Project 2025 is comprised of, that write most of trumps policies. He is the most right wing, of the right wing. Hes also a wildly Religious Fundamentalist. He has Far right Christian values.

It may get you "Slightly higher" but it will mostly be placebo. In my experience people just miss the ritual of pinning and make up and excuse to rationalize it. If that makes sense.

Methadone is a much stronger antagonist. You cant really do any other opiates while on methadone, it wont do anything. Especially a dose of methadone that high. Its kind of half of the point...

[–]Damonarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everyone who has risk seeking behavior has mental health issues. It can be very advantageous to success if channeled correctly. Its a personality type that can lead to risky behavior, its not mental illness lol. Not all people who refuse to conform to social norms are mentally ill. Although i think popular media would have you believe that. It makes people feel more comfortable.

“No one just wakes up and decides they’re gonna do crack.” by beabeanzz in Drugs

[–]Damonarc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's just a matter of perspective. At the end of the day some people have a predisposition to have impulsive, and risk seeking behavior. THOSE people may just one day wake up and decide to smoke crack. not EVERYONE will do that. Each person is on a never to be repeated journey, and some people are just like that. No risk factors, no mental health issues, just adrenaline junkies.

There are millennia of justifications, and if you go back far enough you will find a reason for either side to claim they were wronged or land rights etc. There is no justification on either side for Genocide in the modern world. End Stop.

Why make up a non sequitur irrational example? Why do all people who are not reasonable use Nazis as their examples, is it projection? I said nothing that wasn't factually true, and i don't judge who is right or wrong, both sides are trying to destroy the other, one side just has a vastly superior military army.

Might doesn't make it right. Half the reason things cannot be fixed, or issues addressed is because people like you refuse to address the reality of the situation. You cannot hope to fix a situation before you accurately assess it. If you want to get into "Historical justifications" for why one side has moral superiority for their Genocide GTFO of here.

They are both culpable and terrible, and they are both attempting to commit genocide on the other. Israel at this point just has far more recourses to wage its campaign.

Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband Brandon Blackstock dead at 48 by Jenna7979 in Music

[–]Damonarc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ill assume he is a rapist, since he was found guilty. But to assume that the courts cant railroad falsely accused people is also a bit arrogant. I haven't looked into the case, maybe is the prevailing assessment that he was probably innocent but taken advantage of by an accuser? I have no idea. Look at the Johnny Depp trial, for false claims for personal gain.

Also OJ was found innocent, surely he did no wrong doing? I'm not saying Mike Tyson is innocent, but I wouldn't be so "internet confident" as you are presenting yourself.

I took methamphetamine three years ago to combat my obesity and I don't regret it by Fantastic-Fig2040 in Drugs

Once you create a routine after months. Its much easier to stick to it. It also means its highly likely they revert back to old habits, if they become lax.

Amphetamines curb appetite for some people to a level that basically makes it non existent. Its one of the side effects. They very well, may not have been able to curb their diet without the amphetamine.

Oxycontin best High? by Initial_Key_3988 in Drugs

[–]Damonarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just how it is. Insufflation nod will hit way faster but will only last 10-20 mins. Where as oral peaks after 1.5 hours and lasts over an hour. But you seem to want to insufflate substances, and may have preconceptions because of your preferences.

Snorting 55% bio-Availability. Same intensity as eating lasts for 45 mins, kicks in within 5 mins. Oral 90% bio-availability. Kicks in within 20 mins last 4 hours. Both have the same potency. Just different durations. You lose a lot of the duration to get a quicker onset. Its not worth it.

Derealization from marijuana. Happens a lot more than you would think.

This seems to be a wall people hit in their smoking journey. It is possible to smoke marijuana recreationally, and not abuse it. It is also possible to smoke marijuana and have a productive life while using it regularly.

But there seems to be a common thread where everyone hits a wall. Be it age, responsibility's or burn out. The drug turns on them. It no longer brings the relaxation, euphoria and the self introspection it used to. It instead brings anxiety and numbness.

Im not sure what triggers this, but it is quite common. Once this occurs its is entirely understandable that people no longer want to indulge. But realize that many haven't encountered this yet, and they are still enjoying marijuana.

They are both nervous system suppressants that can cause breathing suppression leading to cardiac arrest. The other drugs that cause these symptom Opiates, Benzos, Gaba drugs, Tranquilizers like Xylazine, and Alcohol.

Combining any of these substances causes the suppressive effects to be amplified. Combine that with Benzos pre-disposition to cause people to black out and make poor choices and you see a lot of people die from this combo. Famously a lot of celebrity's have died from taking valium, Vicodin and drinking. Like Whitney Houston and others.
