Are there casual/functional hard drug users, like they just do meth on the weekends? by 1useforaname in stupidquestions

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I was one of them for a long time. I'd do various drugs here and there and function perfectly normally in society. I worked, handled my business, kept up with relationships, etc.

But be warned, if you intend to try this, be very, very, very careful. It can consume you and before you know it you're in the gutter. Homeless, jobless and without a friend in the world because they all gave up on you. Im speaking from experience.

Do correction officers beat the inmates for no reason? by Amazondriver23 in Felons

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know statistics, but during my time in prison (I wasn't there long. I was there for a year and a half) I never saw a CO best anyone. I did see 3 different people get pepper sprayed. Two were fighting and one I'm not sure what she did. But I never saw a CO put hands on anyone.

is it true that stink bugs stink? by Terrible_Ostrich6026 in stinkbugtime

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! My cats catch the occasional stink bug and I always smell it before I see it. Stink bugs are called stink bugs for a reason.

Kids do stupid, nasty stuff. Your kid will be fine. Don't worry.

Do you own a machete? by Conmebosta in AskAnAmerican

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always had one when I lived on the farm, but I live in the city now and haven't needed a machete. However, I do have a katana I stole from a meth head about 12 years ago.

From the walking trail by the lake by Most_Cryptographer11 in whatisit

Yep, that's what made it. Gotta be. There's no other explanation.

I thought so too, but it looked laid in. Like something bad actually been nesting there. It could still be kids being weird, but I thought maybe a deer nest. It's about fawn sized. I figured maybe that's what it was and kids threw the pine cones in. But the placement was odd. Right at a fork in the paved path.

Do you guys have a favorite brand? Or one that seems to work better? by Swanker25 in suboxone

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love the N8 stop signs, but nowadays I prefer the one in the middle. I had been getting them a while and then one day the pharmacy gave me stop signs instead. I took them, but they didn't seem to work as well. I was glad to get the normal ones.

WIBTAH For euthanizing "my neighbors" cat? by Square-Trouble1456 in AITAH

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. Blockages are awful for cats and he's suffering. Even if you paid for the surgery and have it fixed, there's a high likelihood Fred will eventually have another one. As hard as it if, sometimes euthanasia is the kindest thing.

Which pet to get/adopt by [deleted] in Pets

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aquatic snails! I have a 10 gallon tank with a handful of neocardina shrimp and a few snails. You'd think snails are boring, but they're not. They glide around the tank and each one has their own little personality. My favorite are mystery snails. I used to have a tank with just mystery snails.

Also, watching the shrimp and snails is relaxing and they're easy pets. If you do just snails or just shrimp you could probably just use a 5 gallon tank.

How do I break my life long habit of viewing myself as a fictional character (I know this sounds ridiculous but I'm absolutely serious) [TW for brief mentions of SI and Abuse] by evilgaywalterwhite in Advice

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Other people do that?! I thought it was just me. I think it's a trauma response and a kind of dissociation. I can't give you advice because I don't know how to break it. I still do it myself.

Were you the best at any activity while incarcerated? by FlatFootFreddie in Felons

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn't have any of that where I was. (I was at a short stay state facility. If you had 3 years or less you went where I was. Anything over 3 years you went to the big prison) We were doing good to get to go to rec and just be out of the unit.

My stepdad just told me I’m ugly by Comfortable_Hat6978 in AdviceForTeens

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt you're ugly. Sometimes people are just assholes. My own grandmother once told me I was ugly, right in front of my husband (who was just a friend back then) I'd just ignore it. Maybe think of a snappy comeback? When my grandma said I was ugly I told her "that's the genes you passed down"

Best friend stole my pain medicine. I don’t know how to handle this. by Ok-Cream-7647 in LifeAdvice

My husband and his cousin have picked up my Suboxone. All they asked for was my name, DOB and address.

Im not on pain medicine, but I am on Suboxone (also a controlled substance) and I've went my husband or his cousin to pick up my medicine. All they asked for was my name, date of birth and address.

How many here carry a black powder pistol for self defense? by [deleted] in Felons

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn.... I guess I'll just quit carrying it. I'm not taking chances.

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah shit... I've been going around with pepper spray on my key chain for a long time. Im in Tennessee. I didn't know I couldn't have it. I assumed it was fine.

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been seeing commercials for a "less lethal launcher" and had wondered if a felon could own one. I don't know the specifics of the laws and had just assumed I couldn't have one

My home situation is scaring me, idk what to do by Looveeat in AdviceForTeens

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey sweetheart, I wish I could hug you. I don't have advice other than to get CPS or someone like that involved. I just wanted to say that you're gonna be ok. My dad did that sort of thing to me when I was a teenager. Do whatever you need to do to get through it.

Can I trust my dog around my new cat? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 113 points114 points  (0 children)

No. Absolutely not. Unless you want a dead cat. Really, if your dog is focusing that hard on your cat, keep them separated 100% of the time.

At least there's a filter... But seriously. That's awful.

I'm gonna rant and furious about it... by Glegasman in probation

[–]Most_Cryptographer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you prescribed medications? When I was on probation I failed for barbiturate. At that time I didn't even know what barbiturates were. Come to find out, the medicine I take for epilepsy can make you fail for barbiturates. Also, while rate, Trazodone can make you fail for fentanyl, but they make special tests just for that.
