    My scale developed an extreme benzo addiction, it will just randomly flip out and be off my several hundred milligrams for no reason now.

    Ok, add the path to geckodriver in the `binaries` option to Analysis in your specfile. Then it will be in the directory structure under the path in `sys._MEIPASS`. You'll want to read this:

    https://pythonhosted.org/PyInstaller/runtime-information.html#run-time-information

    for more info on accessing bundled files at runtime, it will work differently during dev (when you're not packaging) vs. in distribution so you'll need to use the check mentioned at the top of that page.

    Originally posted by Sophie Thanks Lan. Also top heh, the elitist attitude reminds me a little of the now defunct EvilZone. It had some good discussion and info at times but my God what a bunch of assholes.

    Elitist is fair. In my defense I don't look down on learners who participate in a community for the sake of learning, I actually enjoy helping people who want to learn even if it isn't the only thing I look for in a tech community. It's mostly people who refuse to engage with ideas at all if they don't think it's something they can put on a resume or that will come up in an interview. The art of programming survived professionalization somehow but decades later high salaries and initiatives to push people into the field in the name of social mobility are killing it by teaching people that truth and beauty don't exist and the craft is a mere means to an end.

    To that end I kinda like the infosec spirit of everyone being an asshole. Their closed society model turns out to be somewhat more sustainable under these pressures than the more open MIT "hacker" culture.

    Originally posted by 霍比特人说中文不好 I don't know why you keep bringing up this "But there will always be some" thing because nobody said that legalization was perfect and that it would solve all the problems. It's just better than the unregulated wild west shit we've got going on in people's bodies right now.

    I'm glad you agree "there will always be some". Some portion of opiate users will develop destructive habits, so use of opiates always carries some risk. I'm saying we need to consider the risk of potentially increased use due to legalization and weigh that against the advantages of legalization. You seem to miss that I'm not denying most of the advantages of legalization you're talking about, but you do seem to be ignoring the very possible disadvantages.

    Also opioids are far from hydro's main problem. She's also got legitimate health problems and kinda needs them. I know lots of people call bullshit on those, but trust me when I say that she has legit pain. If she didn't I'd be the first to call her out on it. Anyway, she's not really a good example here since we'd be bringing medicine into it.

    Did you mean that like "trust me when I say I have direct access to the qualia of other people" or more like "trust me, I questionably impregnated this woman and therefore am able to provide a medical diagnosis and that diagnosis is she needs heroin"?


    Your study is unworthy as they're most certainly not teaching people anything like what I'm talking about.

    Lol, OK, so legalization is only good if you get to be the czar of drug education and dictate what is and isn't true about drugs? Did you even read the paper?


    Your argument is what… that people can't learn

    No, as I've said multiple times, my argument is drug education in adults is of limited efficacy. As a corollary I offer that most destructive patterns of drug use arise from negligence rather than ignorance.

    1. Education leads to safer decision making. It is true with smoking, teen pregnancy, texting while driving, drunk driving, diet, etc. Find me one study which says otherwise… I'm not even going to bother citing anything because its a waste of my time.

    lol, that's not how this works bud.

    2. I don't even know what you mean by this. You want me to what, look up budgets?

    Non-anecdotal evidence that education campaigns lead to measurably safer decision making (like your whole claim here) would be a good start


    You do not have experience with people Lanny. It is blatantly clear by your perception of addicts being dysfunctional, and believing that addiction is a detriment to society because of that. Because of this, you do not have a reasonable pool to draw from when it comes to your own personal opinions about what is and isn't harmful to society. It's pretty fucking puritan and it just seems like you're saying addicts = bad.

    Lol, ok §m£ÂgØL, clearly your vast intrapersonal knowledge is so comprehensive my meager peer reviewed journal article or my own human experience can't hold a flame to it. Clearly you have all kinds of life experience and are reaping the tremendous benefits of having such keen insight into the human condition at the ripe old age of, uhh, how old are you, are you 20 yet? 25?

    That said, I'd ask you turn some of your insight into the minds and hearts of men towards me in order to pull your head out of your ass and realize it's possible for people to be opposed to blanket drug legalization without fitting your comic mental image of the "puritan" (nice buzzword bud) middle american conservative.




    OK, but abstinence doesn't work.

    nice slogan bro

    I also don't know why you think legalization would lead to more addicts

    We agree that use will always entail some addicts. Does it not seem reasonable that higher use would lead to more addicts? And that legal drugs tend to be used more than illegal ones?


    why you think you can actually reduce use by reducing supply.

    Well one reason might be because we find very low incidence of illegal drug use in countries where illegal drugs are highly non-available.

    In legal states, Marijuana use typically rises right around legalization and then shortly drops. There are less teens who use too and are thus prevented from using during some of the more vulnerable stages of an addict's life.

    You want to give me a source there bud?


    Blaming alcohol or drugs for these problems is absolutely retarded.

    Clearly, but since you didn't actually answer my question do you want to give a clear yes or no to the question:

    Really? You can't think of any crimes that are a product of alcoholism?

    ?

    Obviously legalization in itself would be different, a little bit more freeing and probably less beneficial, but it's still better than the current system.

    Oh ok, well if something might be "probably less beneficial" according to §m£ÂgØL than a public program that "literally has no downsides" well then that's enough to convince me.


    Again, you lack some serious athletic abilities. Let me repeat it for you. Drugs are illegal. They are expensive. They are expensive because they are illegal. What you quoted says NOTHING about addiction.

    The quote I replied to for your refrence:

    I'm not saying it's impossible to have a sustainable opiate habit, but I'm saying the chances of regular opiate use turning unsustainable, the ratio of junkies to functional users, is a lot different than other drugs and legislation ought to take this difference into account.

    So let me get this straight… you think that because a thing is illegal and expensive to get access to is the reason it seems to be more highly addictive than other things? Yes, of course, this must be why our streets are brimming over with sharkfin soup and tortoise meat addicts. We made eating endangered animals illegal so now all these people have wound up dysfunctionally addicted to them. It's so obvious now…

    We're talking about the ratio of junkies to functional users (presumably you agree if you have a non-functional drug addiction then you're a junkie for the purposes of this discussion at least), so are you saying being a junkie doesn't have anything to do with addiction or what?

    Confirmed Californian. Holy shit. I should have read this before I typed any of the rest of this. Fucking LOL. God I did not realize I was talking to one of *those* Christ.

    You seem upset. That's OK

    Originally posted by RestStop Anyone tried "Legal Lean"? It seems certain rappers on youtube are pushing this product pretty hard. I doubt it's comparable to the real thing but the spice a few years back(jwh-018) threw for me a loop so idk…it's priced around $11-$15 so I doubt it but who knows. Maybe at least we can fall asleep while still looking hood.

    Lol, the ingredients are like a list of shitty weak ass "natural sleep aid" shit. It's a cup of camomile tea with a bunch of shitty flavoring to try and seem like some hood shit.

    Also I'm nervous for the FF7 remake. I want it to be good badly, but it feels like a trainwreck coming my way. New DOOM lit in my heart a dim flickering light of hope that reboots don't have to be money grabbing abortions.

    The general notion of "materialism" is so taboo it's impossible to claim to be as much in a socially conscious way.

    If someone says "yes, I'm a materialist" they're one of three things: trying to be ironic, using the term in the philosophical sense, or an autist

    I should turn up with dark sunglasses, in a trenchcoat, a couple of days of stubble and a fifth of burbon in a brown paper bag. Drunkenly slur "What's up BITCHES, who's ready to turn up the heat and get COOKIN?!?" Maybe draw a big penis on the whiteboard instead of my name, you know, to assert dominance, take control of the classroom
