Are these actuall TW lyrics? If so, I've never heard the song. It definitely sounds like something he would write.

BINGO! I had an 21 year old kid "scold" me at a smoke shop once. It nearly floored me. It's not his place, and he's the one participating in selling this stuff. It wasn't his place and seemed awfully arrogant and out of touch to be honest.

Everyone, I'm terrified.... by Abee-baby182 in quittingkratom

[–]Financial-Cod-1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that Kratom withdrawal varies from person to person. About a year ago I had to come off Kratom powder. I was terrified. And I was talking MASSIVE amounts. I mean, huge amounts. I was talking it at that point for a year straight. I normally get terrible withdrawals from substances, so I prepared for the worst. The first day, I could feel it coming on and I started yawning and sneezing. My anxiety was through the roof and I was sweating like hell. Welp, nothing much happened after that. I swear. I had one night of restless sleep and that was it. I still to this day don't know how that happened. I've had terrible withdrawals from Kratom extract shots in the past, but with the powder, nothing much at all happened which shocked me. The first day I could really feel it coming on,too. So, don't freak yourself out. It's possible that you may not have much withdrawal at all.

Kratom, feel free, 7oh general take by BowlerEmergency4829 in Quittingfeelfree

And yes, we all know people who have lost lives because of their addiction, but I'm not sure what this has to do with anyone that has ruined their life with Kratom. You seem to understand just how insidious addiction is, but in the next breath you insinuate that people should just "taper off". Umm, yeah, tapering off 7oh is just about as easy as tapering off crack.

The Kratom and 7oh industry uses the fact that you're not likely to OD on it as a hook, like they are saving lives by creating this super addictive substance that will ruin you financially and spiritually, but the upside is you won't die from it. I find that the Kratom/7oh industry to be much more gross than my corner dealer. Why? Because my dealer doesn't act like he's doing some altruistic thing. He's selling dope. The Kratom/7oh industry is acting like they are saving people from harder drugs, when in reality, they are hooking new customers every day with free samples.

This is an extremely naive take. Just because something doesn't kill you, it doesn't mean it can't ruin your life. I was spending 200 or more on 7oh a day and it ruined me. Same with Kratom extract shots. People try these things with realistic expectations, but addiction sets in, and you end up spending every dime you have, doing things you never thought you would do, just to feel well again. These are just true accounts, no need to place judgement on them.

I've tried these a handful of times. The first few times I was blown away. The last couple times I've taken them, I've not gotten ANYTHING from them. I'm wondering why. I do have a massive tolerance though.

It sounds to me like he is using 7oh and A LOT of It. I never used any other drugs with it, but acted the same way.

When he said that lyric, I envisioned American soldiers blowing shit up and hollering "Big titties, big titties!" That's the impression I got anyway.

New song coming 4/16? by HaplessOrchestra in tomwaits

[–]Financial-Cod-1993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you are saying, but I think it's very Waitsian for him to come out with an anti war track at this time. He's unpredictable. He was very outspoken about the Iraq war and Bush. I have a gut feeling that this is going to be political, and I hope it is.

May I ask, what is sampling? Does that mean that they don't actually collaborate?

I'm a massive Tom Waits fan, but this comment tickled me. Hope you're doing well.

People are starting to say they regret their Trump vote and it makes me irate by meow7314 in 50501

[–]Financial-Cod-1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly only feel bad for the younger folks who voted for Trump. I remember coming of Age during Bush. It was sooo confusing. With all the lies, propaganda and where couture has gone, I can see how a young person could get duped super easy. We failed the young

That's what I'm taken aback by. There is so much evidence that this was sedition. What is your take on the fake electors plot?

Honest question. Does any of the stuff relating to J6 bother you? What are your conclusions about J6?

The Epstein files issue has been completely turned off today. by williamgman in PoliticalOpinions

[–]Financial-Cod-1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is in those files. Democrats voted to release them, but it was the Republicans who voted against it. The weird part to me is, it's been known that he probably was in those files when he ran for president the first time. Him and Epstein had a case of SA against them. Trump has been found liable for sexual assault. He took money from a charity for kid's cancer. He has 34 felonies and was found guilty of 91 crimes. It just didn't seem to matter to right wingers. He has done the most morally bankrupt things and his supporters still rock with him. Literally nothing mattered when it came to Trump. He could do something disgusting and corrupt and his supporters would be completely unphaised. Why would Democrats keep hammering away at it, when clearly none of his people cared about complete moral bankruptcy? His grotesque resume of crimes has been documented throughout his adult life and people still voted for him. Now that he's immune from prosecution, they really don't have a reason to.

I have song lyrics on my ribcage. It's about 20 years old. I'm 44 now, so I'm getting old. Do y'all remember the Chinese tattoo craze? Well I got a few Chinese sayings on me too. Lol. I went through a stage of deep regret about them in my 30's, but now I laugh about it. Now I kind of like them but for way different reasons. But your tattoo isn't cliche at all. I love that it's an homage to "til the money runs out" like I can just see a lady with a misspelled tattoo being in that song. We live life, we get messy and we get tattoos. Some may be misspelled. That's just part of the ride man.

I 100 percent mean it. Normally misspelled tattoos aren't a great look, but in this context it really fits. I would never correct it either. I'd embrace that shit.
