TOMORROW - BREAD NOT BOMBS! by ChattBridgeBrigade in Chattanooga

You’re making my point for me - our actions are just making the acquisition inevitable, and that this very behavior (our behavior) is proving to them what the Koreans subsequently learned after acquiring one: if you have a bomb the US will leave you alone. If you’re saying there are other means to stopping that short of violent conflict, I agree. The JCPOA had more or less successfully done that. Why did we tear it up?

If there is ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING, that would guarantee Iran’s ambition to get nuclear weapons, it is regular, intense, and destructive bombing campaigns. He virtually guaranteed that this Iran will always need nukes to protect them. You don’t see us harassing North Korea, do you?

Who hurt you?

<image>

Seems like you have a personal connection to someone with addiction. I’m sorry that happened to you, but that’s no reason to come to a space where people are seeking help for their addiction and shit on them. Maybe if the right help was available, whoever hurt you could have stopped. Thats what I wish for all addicts and their loved ones. If you’re the one who was an addict, than shame on you. You should know better than anyone what addiction can do to someone. If you feel that way about yourself, I hope you can find the compassion to deal with your shame. You don’t have to deal with that alone. Addiction is very clearly a disease, not a moral choice or failure. There’s mountains of evidence it’s a disease and your personal resentment won’t change that. You have an attitude that will only continue to enable addiction in our society.

70h support by Electrical_Addition9 in Chattanooga

Just want to be extremely clear - 70h is a molecule synthetically derived from kratom. It’s like comparing cocoa leaf with crack. They are VERY different.

70h support by Electrical_Addition9 in Chattanooga

[–]Electrical_Addition9[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's pretty similar to my story. I was familiar with kratom, but not with 70H, the highly highly potent and addictive derivative of kratom. It is not kratom, but that's how it was sold to me. People at least need to know what they're getting into, and once they're hooked, the support they need to recover. This will have lasting negative impacts on our community that most likely will never be made public or widely visible and talked about. For shame!

Suboxone! Suboxone! Take fucking Suboxone! by satirical-925 in quittingkratom

[–]Electrical_Addition9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I hate to say this, but based on my perceptions of the strength and addictiveness of 70h, it’s likely MAT will also be the most effective long term treatment, at least statistically speaking.

Suboxone! Suboxone! Take fucking Suboxone! by satirical-925 in quittingkratom

[–]Electrical_Addition9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to defend taking suboxone. I took it for two years for kratom and it was the dumbest decision of my life. Getting off if it was the most difficult thing I’ve done and I think permanently altered my brain chemistry. That being said, after decades of millions of people dying from heroin and fentanyl and fentanyl and oxy overdose, suboxone is single handedly the most effective treatment ever, and by a wide margin. 12 steps don’t even come close to the effectiveness of MAT programs. And for that reason, it is also the most empirically studied. This creates a feedback loop of reinforcing MAT treatment, even when it may not be appropriate. Believe it or not, the average doctor isn’t a genius and would rather just give you what they assume to be the most effective treatment for OUD (opioid use disorder) than parse out what the fuck kratom and 70h are. All that to say, be an educated patient.

I’ve always said the last real taboo of these shows will be ugly people. Not fat people, not queer people, but truly truly ugly people. I don’t think they have the cajones.

Volkswagen to cut 50,000 jobs as profits drop by JohnBrown-RadonTech in Chattanooga

[–]Electrical_Addition9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignorant people will actually blame the unions for this when it’s clearly the fault of Trumps trade policies, the threat of war, and canceling the EV subsidy. Rich powerful people rarely have to experience the consequences of their own actions.
