It’s not a blanket statement. But yes, women and even men exist who have no problems exchanging sex for cocaine. You see plenty of this if you work at a bar and get to know people a little bit.
Back on-topic, it explains a lot of the couples you look at and wonder… What in the hell is she doing with THAT guy?
You seem like you will be … however if not, there is always that silver lining
only the ones that aren’t worth the dogshit jammed into the soles of my last pair of sneakers
funny story: last time an ex cheated on me, i smeared the shirt she gave me for my birthday in dogshit and burnt it. i’ll leave you to decide whether or not i videoed the entire thing and sent it to her and her parents
dude she was sleeping with was positive for an STI and she didn’t tell me😁
I’m gonna think you didn’t send it to her parents because that would be going too far.
Rip ex with std lol.
haha i did
I’m scared anymore. Coke and pills just seem too questionable anymore.
Oh man do I. The bar I bounce at is more of a college-age, party type bar, whereas it sounds like your’s is possibly more the older, slightly more pathetic crowd who never left that age behind. But there’s some doozies in the crowd. 55 year old guy with sunglasses and the dirtiest, rattiest clothes ever last weekend snorted meth in the parking lot (happen to know his dealer) and break danced (pretty well) for literally 30 minutes straight. Otherwise yeah, there’s mostly just the old guys coming in and leaving with some hot young girl who gives the impression she’s not with him because of his looks, haha.
That’s pretty spot-on, at least for the busy shift that I covered. By 11:00 most of the room was under 30, but the bar basically had the same atmosphere you’d expect at a basement keg party where you end up drinking with the parents and some of their friends.
YUP!
Back on topic, I still wonder… What led up to the encounter in the parking lot when a 6’9" man was being accosted by an extremely upset woman who happened to be roughly 3’ tall?
The things you see when you’re paid to stay sober at a bar…
I’ve also always wondered what it’s like to not be afraid of heights. Ive done roofing, rappelling out of helicopters, ridden roller coasters, but I was always scared shitless. Just never said anything. 10 feet off the ground and I’m feeling unsteady and nervous. Wtf is it like to not be scared of that?!?!
I forgot to address this, but you’re right. All of that shit is scary, especially in combination. I know people who’ve been crippled by nearly every drug you can name, but pills leading to heroin and now fentanyl probably takes the cake for the most havoc wreaked.
Back on-topic, I wonder… How many people have had a straw up to their nose with a line of heroin in front of it and decided not to sniff it? I can wonder all day long about how I ended up with that straw at my nose in the presence of the people I considered friends, but deciding to put it down was one of the best choices I made in my teenage years.
Have not attempted these yet but they are on the list. A
Possibly because they haven’t ever heard of it. I’ve a fairly prolific reader, but I never read classical literature until a friend recommended Marcus Aurelius. I picked it up “Meditations”, and I was laughing the entire time because an emperor of Rome was complaining about the same stupid things we deal with today. Seriously, there’s a section where he’s talking about how hard it is to get out of bed in the morning.
Things I wonder about:
Are we ever going to make it to other planets before we destroy ourselves? There’s a theory called the Great Filter that proposes that the reason we haven’t found extraterrestrial life is that the level of technology to achieve interstellar travel is too close to the level of tech that can destroy your own planet. Any species that reaches that level inevitably destroys themselves.
just don’t be scared of the fall haha
?
What’s so surprising about people doing things they wouldn’t normally do in an attempt to get what they want?
Especially if that thing is incredibly, painfully, addictive?

Sure, it probably won’t end in a happy marriage, but there’s also no shortage of women who like cocaine enough to sleep with a guy who they’d never even talk to if he didn’t have cocaine.

I have definitely witnessed this.
Interesting theory and I will have to look it up now. I believe it’s feasible to make it to mars and start terraforming the planet within the next 50 years. The hinderance right now is storing enough oxygen in a spacecraft to get the astronauts there in large enough numbers. Oddly enough, “The Martian” by Andy Weir (book, not movie) does a pretty good job detailing how supplies would be sent ahead of astronauts to the red planet. It’s a pretty good plan. Is Mars really where humanity should run too? I’m not sure, so far we haven’t found much of anything too promising on the surface there.
I’ve always wondered are there people actually fans of Tool’s music, or are they fans of saying they are fans of Tool’s music?
I think it’s a mix. It certainly seems like a lot of their fans get caught up in the mystical psychedelia of the band and come across like they’ve found the keys to the universe or something.
They are just a rock band making good music. The new album is awesome.
I wasn’t afraid of heights at all until my early 30’s. I had worked at all kinds of heights and it just never occurred that anything bad could happen.
Then one day it did. I was about 50 feet up an elm tree and had to change lanyards to shimmy up over a big fork. I just suddenly became aware that if I fell I would get killed. I froze up for a couple of minutes, shook it off and kept going, but from that point on became afraid of heights.
I used to do a fair bit of climbing, including some less than sensible soloing and the only solution for me was large amounts of beer. Even after working at a climbing centre where I’d spend hours at a time 40ft in the air, the fear never really goes away, you just learn to deal with it.
How dreams work. I have these really vivid dreams where I can feel and even taste things. What’s up with that?
