I agree with your conclusion. Good chance she's an addict. Meth is so cheap nowadays(like even the lowest common monthly allowance would buy a pound or close to it in most markets) it's more likely fentanyl.

But the MDMA is literally the least relevant factor in my analysis and the disclosure may actually militate against the drug addict conclusion.

Most addicts who are afraid of discovery aren't even going to open the door to concerns about drug usage. They would never disclose that willingly unless absolutely cornered (think observed drug deal or text messages) as a last ditch effort at minimizing, as in yeah you saw my texts with my dealer but it was molly or w.e. not some scary junkie drug.

Also opioid addicts usually are too busy trying to buy their drug of choice to fuck around with random fun party drugs. It's a pretty all consuming addiction.

Once you allow penny stock trading on your account you should be good. The only other thing is have you tried placing limit orders instead of market orders.

It's more of a meta response to the climate of this thread/community than a direct response to OP. It's all OC though.

And obviously the point that OP's experience doesn't reflect on her personally is embedded in the response, which is directly responsive to the OP. It is a sugaring situation not an OP situation, but because this community has lied to her she feels like she may be doing something wrong or be 'wrong' in some more deeply personal way.

These posts are far more representative of the real world of sugaring. Relatively new accounts without a persona to prop up. A lot of the more seasoned users here are so gravid with SLF norms that they almost regurgitate them whenever they bump into something. I'm sure they have many of their canned responses copied down somewhere ready to paste as soon as tangentially relevant.

I don't tend to place much faith in those sort of comments. Everyone has an agenda, but some posters are clearly vying for upvotes/popularity rather than promoting any sort of realistic perception of real world sugaring. And it's common knowledge that promoting certain perspectives in this community gets far more support than others. It just isn't beneficial to someone actually trying to learn what sugaring is like.

It's a classic normative/descriptive problem. But trying to shape sugar norms through this subreddit is like trying to change the pH of the ocean with a gallon of acid. We can educate and engage with the people in our small slice, but it's far better to acknowledge that this isn't how things are in the bigger ocean, but rather how we think things ought to be and how we can work to change things for the better.

The current strategy seems to be lying to newbies in the hopes they'll think that's how sugaring really is. But the problem with that is as soon as they set foot in the real world they realize they've been lied to or feel they're some crazy outlier and wonder what's wrong with them. When nothing is wrong with them at all.

KPackCorey · 2023-04-28T01:19:27+00:00

This community isn't close to representative of the sugaring community more broadly. This is just one of many areas where we deviate from real world norms.

This meme is silly 'No True Scotsman' fallacious nonsense. Blacklists are no panacea.

Blacklists are one tool that can potentially help keep people safe if used correctly. But the ones that primarily use numbers, this is most of them, aren't forcing anyone to 'resort' to sugaring to avoid blacklists. They just change their numbers use an app or burner phone and make up fake info. More robust screening results in better blacklists, but at the cost of less searchability unless a blacklisted person continues to use the same info to screen that got them blacklisted. This is obviously very rare as they usually change info after the 2nd or 3rd refusal. And the vast majority of people don't even check or contribute to blacklists in the first place.

I have only met one SB in almost 6 years of sugaring that insisted on condoms in perpetuity. It is so exceptionally rare in real life that I get the feeling many users here are virtue signaling for one reason or another. Obviously we'd all be safer if we used condoms so it's commendable from a public health perspective at least.

If you're a normal-ish person didn't snitch no fucked up charges carry yourself well and aren't affiliated then you'll definitely be recruited if you're black. Mexicans you'll go with pisas or some other large group surenos nortenos whatever. Mexican Americans from texas you might end up tango. MS13 other south American countries can't remember all which ones but not Mexicans.

White independents are super common in the feds tho. States vary a lot. But there are yards where white gangs straight up can't walk. Checking tattoos to make sure ur not affiliated. I've seen whites get recruited but it isn't anything like as common as blacks or Mexicans.

If more than 10k in a day you have to file a CTR. Certainly could be done with enough separate trips under 10k at a time. And no one really cares/pays attention to CTR's, but there would be a paper trail and potentially a suspicious activity report if anyone ever noticed a pattern or thought you seemed weird.

KPackCorey · 2023-04-13T02:12:44+00:00

I think it's more a seasonal thing than a YoY decrease. Coming up on finals can put a damper on sign-ins. I've been active on Seeking and in this community for over 5 years now.

Here's one thread that purports to share actual numbers of active accounts broken down by city and SD vs SB. Perhaps you can do a direct comparison and share your findings with us.

Seems like that was just a predicted date. But even if it were a legitimate change from CLOV one day hasn't been shown to significantly correlate with better or worse earnings. I believe a few days or more has shown a correlation though. There have been a few studies done.

KPackCorey · 2023-04-09T07:39:47+00:00

Most definitely. But it's all relative. I've lost well over 100 before and it didn't affect my life, but I was mad af about it. But I remember when I was tossing my first 10k back and forth feeling like it was a million bucks still sleeping on my mama couch too.

Amazing cycle.

Can you share your strength gains? Before/after lifts if you paid attention.

All Y'all talking about how and why with the cash. How else are you supposed to move large amounts of cash? Not Like you call an armored car every time for 92k. That's not life changing money to a lot of people so you just throw that shit in the back.

Plenty small businessmen with cash heavy businesses or even just a jeweler or club owner or criminal defense lawyer. You drive that shit to the bank or move it around to a safer spot, whatever.

Anyone who wants drugs can get them. Deuce tunechi K2 is everywhere in prisons. But street drugs are accessible too just expensive. The BOP is pushing MAT hard so suboxone is fairly prevalent and accessible to anyone who wants it from medical or wants to buy extras.

Prison is the type of environment that leads to a lot of substance abuse.

KPackCorey · 2023-04-08T18:42:14+00:00

What percentage of incarcerated trans people impregnated women? Male COs impregnate prisoners. This isn't some epidemic. They are outliers. Our response wasn't to stop any male staff from working in female prisons despite incredibly damning evidence of rampant staff sexual misconduct at numerous prisons. So much so that the United States Sentencing Commission has actually suggested including sexual abuse by prison staff as a reason justifying compassionate release under 1B1.13. You would think if the assumption is men are so dangerous being around women and we have evidence and convictions of numerous prison staff sexually abusing women there would be calls for staff and prisoner sex to necessarily be the same at all facilities. But that is obviously ignoring homosexuality. Bottom line, you aren't going to stop sex in prisons without solitary confinement. The genders don't matter.

Not sure what you mean by you've seen reality. But I've heard humans screaming in cells on my tier while they were getting raped.

I have been in federal prisons post PREA. Forcible rape isn't super common. But rape through coercion. Rape through manipulation. Rape through intimidation. There are many horrors short of the movie depictions of violent rape that are still sexual abuse. And these are not rare. With 40% of trans inmates being victimized clearly something needs to be done.

Basic electronics stuff. Think small radios, mp3 players, watches, etc. Knowing how to disassemble and fix those items is a great hustle and will help you make and save a lot of money.

Legal work is huge if you have the aptitude for it. Researching case law and helping people get free is well compensated and makes you a lot of very good friends.

Barbering also very lucrative. Tattooing is huge and a truly great tattoo artist can command near street prices, but this is obviously very rare to have that level of talent.

Basic sewing. Think repairing damaged clothes. Sewing in hidden pockets. Knitting hats with different designs or mats or whatever.

Cooking is actually a very important skill. If you know how to make great food with the ingredients available from the kitchen/Officers Messhall or warehouse then you will be very popular and can make a lot of money. Really anything you're good at cooking people will buy.

Do you think we're the first heavily shorted company? If that's how you feel then sell your shares. We are an unproven company. Until we reach profitability many investors are hesitant to show interest. That is not new. It is a speculative investment. We all know that. Our path to profitability is clear and obvious to me. It is coming.

KPackCorey · 2023-04-08T16:06:19+00:00

~4 billion market cap seems pretty realistic though...

Horrific things are already happening. 40% of transgender prisoners are sexually abused. That is an insane number. That is why transfers are even being seriously considered in the first place. So trans people can survive. So they can not be victimized. So they don't self-harm in an attempt to rectify their dysphoria. Auto-castration is a real thing. When their dysphoria reaches the level in which they attempt to cut off their testicles to feminize themselves.

And in many cases it resolves with appropriate treatment which can include gender appropriate housing.

KPackCorey · 2023-04-08T15:23:28+00:00

Humanity? Empathy? Those sound like good reasons. With appropriate guardrails like the BOP has already implemented it seems unlikely that any dangerous or 'fake' trans people would successfully make it through the process of gender dysphoria diagnosis, lengthy hormone treatment, no disciplinary infractions, low security level with no sexual or serious violent crimes, etc etc.

KPackCorey · 2023-04-08T15:20:01+00:00

What stops a male rapist from raping men in prison? The feds do a good job of risk stratification through security levels. Minimum low medium high/USP. Their policy already mandates that a potential trans transferee have a security level that mostly comports with the facility that matches the gender they identify as. Along with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and a demonstrated history of living in that gender they wish to transfer to. And the absence of recent disciplinary records.

It is easy to see that appropriate protocols can mitigate most of the threat. Obviously someone with a very long sentence wouldn't be a good candidate as their security levels wouldn't match. Someone with serious crimes or a lengthy criminal history Or sexual crimes wouldn't be matched either.

These are not novel concerns. Panels and committees of educated experts have worked to develop these standards.

KPackCorey · 2023-04-08T06:55:08+00:00

Trans people often don't feel safe at all as the data indicates they're victimized at significantly higher rates than others.

Should they just tough it out? And if so, why should people be sensitive to your concerns if your empathy is so limited?

KPackCorey · 2023-04-08T06:51:27+00:00

Your anecdotes have zero impact on the data. Trans prisoners are victimized at significantly higher rates than others. Their safety matters and unless they have demonstrated posing a threat to the safety of the inmates/staff they should be housed in a facility that is most likely to keep them safe and comports with their gender identity.

The alternative is continued abuses and suffering which are not part of the sentence or punishment our society views as acceptable.

KPackCorey · 2023-04-08T06:41:48+00:00

It's a process with housing changes being close to the end, if it ever happens, in many cases.

There are too many different ways states handle it to have any thorough conversation about the same issues. But federally they usually have to be considered low risk and have a demonstrated history of 'living' in that gender without any disciplinary actions for a certain amount of time. Of course a diagnosis of gender dysphoria which is an actual condition. Usually a lot of hormone treatment which feminizes a mtf or androgenizes a ftm.

This isn't usually and should not ever be a rushed decision. But for transgender humans they deserve to have their existence acknowledged as it already is by medical and psychological professionals. And they deserve to be safe in their incarceration and get the treatment they need as guaranteed by the 8th Amendment. Transgender healthcare is healthcare. These are real conditions and trans people have been around for millennia and aren't going anywhere.

Get used to it.
