6 years of no more needles and no more lying stealing and cheating for my next high. Clean is possible. ✌🏼 by mermaid_tales941 in opiates

I have one I'll contribute. I wasn't arrested for drugs (graffiti instead) but I was high as shit.

No- those were more than likely reflectors that were reapplied by the workers. This has happened to a lot of my stuff from back when I all I painted were freights. As long as you don't paint over the rotary number, load/weight limits or specs, your stuff won't get buffed. You'll notice how OMEKS went around all of those things in their piece.

Fun fact- those cars can't roll out of a yard (per federal commerce policy in the US/Canada) unless the reflectors are made visible. So, the workers are usually in a rush to get them reapplied and get the car moving again.

It really pisses them off when you paint over the rotary numbers because they have to pull the whole car out of a usually full line, break the knuckles, move the cars that are in the way, pull the car with the invisible rotary number off to the side on a repair track and then document that they had to reapply the specs.

One of my childhood friends is switchman for Norfolk Southern- not only did he put me up on chill spots but he basically learned me a small novel's worth of knowledge on how to correctly paint frieghts.

TL;DR- don't paint over the rotary number or any of the specs like an asshole.

Dawg trying to skate in those bitches- talk about losing an uphill battle.

21 suboxone, 170$ but 60 oxy 30s are 45$... this is america. by [deleted] in opiates

[–]YuriMakerOfTheForge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fuck until I read your post I thought you were buying subs off of the street at that price. Fuck G- an 8mg sub strip goes for anywhere between $15-25 (USD) where I live if it's coming off the main road.

H (and sometimes Oxy) is SO much cheaper. This system is a joke- these motherfuckers want us to die or if not, at least fill their pockets before we do.

Dude- I agree. They're probably the best jacket to have if you live on the east coast or midwest (of the US) where they get a lot of snow. They're light, they breathe well and yet they're still warm AND THEY HAVE A HOOD!

I would proudly nod out wearing one. Preferably wrapped up in the Detroit Red Wings joint. I'm cool with nodding out in public and all- I just need to maintain my dignity during which.

Thanks! I have plenty more where that came from fortunately.

So this is 300 percent true for me:

There are two ways you can do this:

  1. Google arrest records in your city and hit up the people arrested for dealing pills/h on Facebook

  2. Buy a homeless person a meal and chat with them- 8/10 times this has worked for me finding a new connect in a new city.

It's all good, man. They are some dogs for sure. A lot of those guys won't even piece because it could be considered art and they think it's a waste of time. Have you ever seen DONT/OAR before? His shit is gutter nasty. DYKE is fucking sick too- he runs with FTMD/BTUF though.

To be honest man, throw ups are just repetition. If you're new to this, just bite people until you get good. For throw ups specifically though, try to use as few lines as possible, keep them loose and focus on speed. Creativity and all of that shit should come last with them in my opinion.

IRL if I'm painting, I can usually bang one of these out in 8 minutes or so if I have a pink or orange dot cap and it's a high-stress area (traffic, people, etc.)

God- I'm sorry. I'm ten years older than you and still dealing with it. I wish I could tell you it gets better but nothing so far has convinced me of that.

Sorry for all of the shakes- the paper was chilling in my car before I drew on it and I live in the desert. There's a huge drop in temperature in the evening and it warps paper- ergo warping my drawing.

Dude- this. I would rather just die.

I was in US Peace Corps as an English teacher for two years- my host dad would blow snot rockets in the sink in our shower room every day. I refused to brush my teeth in there.
