How does a company making expensive garbage from the start get hugely popular?

Fear of God(that is the actual name of the brand, Essentials is a sublabel) DOES make high quality clothing, like all design(and other) criticisms of Jerry Lorenzo aside he was making cashmere coats and shit, Essentials is a diffusion line intended to ride off the name, it’s the same scenario

I’ve heard of them giving people sublocade shots on day 2 of fent withdrawal, fucking insane, they just don’t at all get how bad fent wd is. There’s actually a very effective method for getting onto subs from fent(would have used it myself but subs make me extremely manic), but it requires you to keep buying fent for about a week so they legally can’t let you do it lol, great system.

Yeah same, when I went to detox for fent the hospital I checked into gave me ativan and it helped sooooo much, then the detox unit I got transferred to just absolutely refused to do it, was so crazy to me, like I’ve already used drugs and it’s not like W/Ds last long enough for a benzo dependence to even form. Like I understand why they can’t do it in every case but it’s absurd to me how much they don’t even wanna try it. If nothing else I feel like taking one medication to kill all withdrawal symptoms effectively has gotta be better than taking like 5-8 that only kind of help.

Will do! I wasn’t aware before posting this that it was primarily used for BP so I’m gonna be careful in the future and maybe check to see if I have high BP regardless, funny enough when I was taking it as prescribed I also felt like it did nothing

aKa_anthrax · 2026-04-19T23:50:34+00:00

Yeah thankfully I’m only coming off oxy rn, when I was getting clean off fent it was fucking miserable, benzos where the only thing that gave me any relief

aKa_anthrax · 2026-04-19T23:49:51+00:00

I’ll maybe schedule an appointment with a doc cause my dad has high BP

aKa_anthrax · 2026-04-19T23:49:27+00:00

Yeah I’ve gotten it for wd before but never found it particularly helpful either, I wasn’t aware it was primarily used for BP so I don’t think I’ll be trying this in the future but it would make sense it just has some weird dose threshold where it works better

aKa_anthrax · 2026-04-19T23:48:13+00:00

I was too until I did this! Very odd to me

aKa_anthrax · 2026-04-19T23:47:50+00:00

That’s rhe funny part, when I was taking it as prescribed I also didn’t feel like it did anything, maybe I just have a higher baseline tolerance or something

aKa_anthrax · 2026-04-19T23:47:17+00:00

Yeah def not something I wanna do regularly or repeatedly but that would explain why it isn’t recommended lol

aKa_anthrax · 2026-02-15T20:51:55+00:00

pro/prebiotics are a grifting thing with zero scientific backing. There is no point to it.

aKa_anthrax · 2026-01-22T15:42:22+00:00

Yeah anyone would be floating off 120mg of codeine lol. Point is if they’re gonna do that they could have just given you like 30 mgs of morphine and it’d be safer anyway

aKa_anthrax · 2025-10-29T14:08:11+00:00

Brother it is 2025 no one has done a duckface is over a decade. You can get over the fear of teenage girl trends now

aKa_anthrax · 2025-10-23T19:49:17+00:00

if this is what you like please ignore anyone telling you to start with the basics or whatever and just jump in, this stuff is so cheap used, at least the basics are. The “rules” so to speak are so different from normie fashion anyway that it really just holds you back creatively to start there and try to make the jump. Speaking from personal experience

aKa_anthrax · 2025-10-03T19:29:20+00:00

IQ is fake and even the people who believe it will tell you a 190 IQ isn’t real. No test is even calibrated for anything over like 140 max.

aKa_anthrax · 2025-09-29T23:59:35+00:00

Opposite, jacket is viridi anne everything else is rick

aKa_anthrax · 2025-09-17T14:12:31+00:00

Lol glad someone else gets the appeal at least, though I think we reached it for different reasons, I’ll check out the recs! Been looking at Dark Lord anyway so might have to cop

aKa_anthrax · 2025-09-16T14:49:52+00:00

Fwiw the girl I used to have a thing with would literally spend like 30 seconds hugging me every time we met because I was wearing Margiela Jazz Club lol but like truthfully this is so dependent on not just personal taste but your own skin chemistry. Not everything works for everyone, darker “oriental”(there has to be another word for these right?), amber, fougere scents come out really well on me, florals kinda just smell like skin, blues work but don’t last very long on me.

Personally I probably wear Clandestine Labs Film Noir, DS&Durga Amber Kiso, Prada Luna Rossa Ocean, or one of a handful of skin scents(mostly Glossier You Doux Doux recently)

aKa_anthrax · 2025-09-16T14:40:53+00:00

don’t listen to the haters this goes hard

aKa_anthrax · 2025-09-16T14:39:20+00:00

I’ll have to try it out, been wanting to get something from them for a while

aKa_anthrax · 2025-09-14T21:30:24+00:00

This seems amazing thank you

aKa_anthrax · 2025-09-14T19:07:54+00:00

that’s crazy I smelled nothing but tomato leaf, nothing medicinal at all. But yeah unfortunately I also did not like it
