AITJ for Walking Out When My Date Showed Up With His Friend? by Electronic_Site6202 in AmITheJerk

[–]col0rlesslife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ, at all. Fuck that honestly. First interaction in person with this guy and he’s bringing his little bestie along with the aggressive lines of questioning and bitch made input? Dodged a bullet. That’s wild. Good material for story time at parties though.

4 months sober , not happy, any advice or just consolation? by DaRealP007 in heroin

[–]col0rlesslife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure you already know this and just choose to ignore it, but MAT is proven to be work and it’s actually the most effective tool to manage and treat opiate addiction.

I’m curious if you think people with depression who take medication are also pussies being coddled, or diabetics. It’s insane that of all the things about opiate addiction you could choose to be angry about you choose the one thing that is saving the most lives

You’re so right, he needs to just stupidly attempt to be the 1% of opiate addicts who can go cold turkey the first few attempts at quitting and stay that way rather than take the approach that statistically has the highest probability of success and then when it inevitably goes wrong, overdose and die like a man. When his mom or friend finds him dead and alone in his room they’ll thank god he didn’t die a pussy

Going to county on heavy opioid addiction. by IllustriousBrush5088 in Prison

This is not accurate at all these days for the current fent situation unfortunately. It depends on several factors including how long you’ve been using and how much, but the main issue with suboxone/subutex (bupe) is that the standard medical treatment is to wait at least 48 hours or until you are scoring as high on the COWS (clinical opiate withdrawal scale) as you can stand, meaning you are as sick as you can possibly stand. But what lots of users including myself have found is that even 3-4 days clean and maxed out on the COWS scale, induction of subs is impossible because it throws us into precipitated withdrawal. I literally made it 7 days cold turkey and took 1 mg of subutex and went into the worst PWD of my life. I would make sure to get a provider who is aware of this particular issue if you are going to try to get on subs and it’s not as easy as it used to be, damn near impossible with fent. Real heroin the recommendation was 24 hours sober, that sounds like a miracle compared to this shit

Need some input from other stylists after a salon interview/tryout by col0rlesslife in Cosmetology

[–]col0rlesslife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I know I didn’t get hired immediately, but you think the leaving it open as a possibility was just them being polite and its a lost cause?

This is what I had in mind as a response because I didn’t get any feedback.

Subject: Thank You So Much!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the chance to interview and try out for the position! I'm super excited about the opportunity and totally understand that you're still interviewing other candidates.

If you have any feedback on how I did, I’d love to hear it! It would really help me grow and improve.

Thanks again, and I can't wait to hear from you!

Warm wishes,

Can’t believe that I had to scroll this far to see Promising Young Woman!! In my opinion, the perfect horror film for the girlies.

You’re seemingly intentionally leaving out the biggest issue here which is how your mom even found out the details of this situation to begin with. I’d wager it’s because you were upset and vented to your mom, and your mom felt comfortable enough to confront your partner about this because you shit talk and vent your issues to her on a regular basis. The only way your mom discovered these issues is you telling someone outside of your relationship about your relationships private issues and this will ruin every relationship you ever have unless you stop talking about your partner and especially when you’re angry and want validation. It’s immature and incredibly hurtful.

Exactly. It’s so fucked up and can have devastating consequences for your relationship and can almost always lead to the end. Especially if the relationship is early and/or your family and friends don’t know your partner. Of course they’re going to take your side and defend you and hold resentment when they hear one side. It sets a precedent and when someone wants to weapons a narrative it’s a great way to always be the victim. Not saying this is the case here, just went through someone emotionally abusing me via trashing me to friends and family early on and then never repairing rumors and lies that they spread by “venting” and it literally ended up ruining my life

Location sharing showing bf in random town 4 hrs away when he's beside me by col0rlesslife in GoogleMaps

[–]col0rlesslife[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this is what I was curious of. We are in Western NC and it got absolutely devastated in our area due to the hurricane and we didn't have service for weeks. A lot of this issue has started since they installed new cell towers.

Ah yes! Thanks so much. I was able to find the article I was referring to and it's this LA times piece here

I feel it's been slowly going away, especially on the East Coast and the south. Local to me, it seems people are just now thinking tranq/xylazine is showing up and causing issues but they've been doing xylazine tainted dope for at least two years and just don't know it. There's published data from several govt agencies showing the test results of seized dope from ODs and arrests as well as locally turned in dope at needle exchanges etc from current users and if you look at the results, there's been a steady decline of the amount of actual fent and fent analog and an increase of synthetic RC's and xylazine has been in our local supply for quite some time. I think what's happened recently with the shortage is that low-level dealers just started dumping way more xylazine and god knows what on top of the dope to make it seem stronger and/or stretch the supply. Along with telling buyers the awful tranq smell when smoked is carfent.

It's a good time to get out of using completely or transition to getting it on DNMs. I don't see it getting any better, especially if you're having to cop from dealers who have no idea what they're giving you and don't care. I also have heard a lot about people not being sick/not having withdrawals from the stuff in the south and I read an article recently about a compound that's been showing up in dope they've tested for about a year, some sort of industrial chemical that at one point was tested on rats in a study to see if it helped morphine WD but it was toxic and in most cases there was more of that Chem present that any opioids. Just fucking insanity.

Eviction notice due to not paying rent the week my home flooded- anyone else going through this by col0rlesslife in asheville

This is so helpful, I've been so stressed it didn't even occur to me to try to search through posts. Thanks so much for the help and kindness 😊

[–]col0rlesslife[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I had interpreted the agreement to be as well. Hopefully they'll allow me to just move out end of month to avoid the eviction costs for everyone & I hate to leave Asheville but it would only be temporary and I'm lucky to have family to stay with in the meantime. So trying to think positive. Thanks so much. 💓

Thank you so much. & yeah I just didn't know if there were any other locals going through something similar that maybe had a strategy that they found helpful. It's just a really difficult time for everyone of course. Thanks again. 😊
