Another person I know from HS died, was friends with him since about 4th grade. Someone made a list of people who passed from graduating class 1990-2010 in my 2 square mile home town and I knew 23 of them... mostly heroin overdoses, couple traintrack suicides/accidents, and some other random shit.

feelsbadman.

I can turn the flame on and off at will. Similar to Sonic when he's running or Human Torch.

Went for a walk in the rain about a mile or two away from my house in order to drop off my ballots. Worth it.

Ya, that does really suck. My wife's cousin just lost a son to it. He didn't get out of bed one morning so she went in to wake him and he'd been dead since the night before. Back when I was younger everyone was afraid of heroin. I didn't know a single person who was using it. Hard to believe how it's exploded now.

It isn't even as good as it was back in your day. They cut it with random opiates and only a little Heroin. Barely enough to call it heroin and all it does now is make you sleepy.

Where do you live that it's such a serious issue?

DwnWthVwls · 11-05-2016, 09:16 PM

NJ... Idk, I've heard people say it comes in large quantities from Port Elizabeth/Newark, which are both in high crime, large population urban areas.

The area im from was just a small older community and kids get bored cause there aint **** to do besides drugs and basketball. 2 sq mile town, 400 kids in my whole high school 9-12.

The area I live in now, is type of thing, low-middle class income families in a small town with not much to do. I haven't experienced it first hand, but it has a reputation.

An incredibly inspiring day spent with a local friend from a private vinyl FB community. He lugged over the massive modular synth he'd built and we jammed out for a bit.

A fellow INTJ, we had a spirited day-long discussion from brunch to dinner spanning all of our favorite subjects including hacktivism activities, engineering, anticapitalism, anti-theism, anti-authoritarianism, practical applications of anarchism, rational skepticism, conspiracy theorism, and why Hitchens and Dawkins were/are justifiable a**holes, (is it really ad hominem to call someone an idiot if they are?)

From there we ventured into deep explorations of literature, experimental music, and film. We had an exciting discussion of cut-up works and their lasting influence on self-referential post-post-modern music and lit of the present. He recommended The Ticket That Exploded and I finally ordered a hardcover copy of The House of Leaves.

After swapping documentary favorites we decided to collaborate on a Meetup project we'd host together to try to engage other like-minded individuals with an interest in experimental art and DIY/maker culture.

We each sent the other back with a list of recommended reading/viewings. He'll be taking in Citizen4 and I'll be watching the Hardcore Edition of I Dream of Wires.

For a dude who seldom ever leaves the house, this was one hell of a day.

We have a heroin problem in Utah too. All through the Salt Lake Valley. According to Drug Inc. one of the elder Mormons is a smuggler. Don't know if I fully believe it because why would that dumb ass go on the show and risk everything by letting us know there is a heroin kingpin in the Mormon church?
