2018-03-25 at 4:04 PM UTC in Lets talk about tapeIt's such a cheap form of data storage, I almost want to try it as a backup anyway. Is there a way to make it more viable? Not necessarily faster, just less vulnerable, as Panny described it.

2018-03-25 at 6:06 AM UTC in Do you remember the first time you took a drug?
Originally posted by NARCassist the first time i took a proper dangerous recreational drug was just after xmas in 1984. i was riding my new bike around the estate and rode down this little alleyway that was about halfway down my street. in the alley were some of the slightly older kids that were my neighbors who i used to hang out with sometimes. i was already well down my little rebellious path by this point and when i see they were smoking this really naughty stuff and then they offered me to have a few drags i was totally down for it.
they passed me one that was already halfway smoked and i didn't hesitate to put it to my lips and take that very first ever drag. it made me cough of course and these older kids of course had their obligatory laugh at my innocenceness showing through, but i still took a few more tokes and hung around while they smoked a couple more. it felt awesome doing something so forbidden and i knew right there that i would be doing more of this at every opportunity from then on. and i did, for a while sneaking down that alley with the older kids became a regular thing, we were this ultra cool little clique that were participating in something nobody else knew about and was totally against all the rules.
but of course it wasn't long before i was hooked, and just going down that alley once every day or so wasn't enough. and by this time just a few pulls of somebody elses wasn't enough, i was smoking whole ones to myself. of course supplying my dirty little habit had now become a small problem and as an 11 year old who was only on around £1 per week in pocket money, this was no where near enough. so i was spending my school dinner money on it. and when that wasn't enough i quickly resorted to stealing to fund my addiction. at first just stealing some out of my moms handbag but even that couldn't supply me for long.
there was a kid at the top of my road who was about a year younger than me and i used to go round his house regularly to play atari with him and they had soda stream which was pretty cool. i was playing pacman one afternoon in his conservatory when he went off to make us a soda stream. while he was gone i noticed there were a load of bags stacked up behind the couch i was sitting on. in one of them it was full of my current drug of choice. his family had been away to spain on vacation recently and they had obviously smuggled a load back with them.
i couldn't resist, in fact i didn't even have to think twice and automatically just slipped one of the smaller packets of this deadly narcotic into my pocket. after i left his i went down the local youth center because it was wednesday and they had a disco on in the evenings. i hooked up with my pal lee down there that evening who also had developed himself a nasty little habit as well. we went into the public toilets by the park and got greedy smoking shitloads one after the other. we'd never had so much in one go and we got totally carried away.
pretty soon i was spewing my guts up as was lee, we had consumed way too much and i felt sick as dog for the rest of the night. my head was spinning and i couldn't stop being sick for hours. still after this i was unperturbed and continued smoking more and my addiction just got worse and worse. soon i did away with the weaker stuff and got onto the real hard stuff, benson and hedges, that smooth gold box just made it look so elegant and it just seemed like everyone else was doing it. i would get a pound for my school dinner money and was able to buy in the local shop a pack of 10 B&H for 71p and a box of matches for 9p. that would still leave me enough for a bag of chips and a can of drink which is all i lived on for the rest of my school career.
but pretty soon that wasn't enough and i would resort to stealing once again. and i became pretty professional at it too, soon climbing the criminal ladder. my parents would often buy theirs in bulk and leave sealed packets on the side unopened. but i had developed a way of very carefully opening the cellophane at the bottom of the pack, sliding it up till i could open the lid, carefully lift the inner foil and i would remove the two back corner cigarettes and then do it all back up again neatly, sliding the cellophane back down the box and using a small strip of scotch tape so that you would never notice unless you were looking for it. i did that for years and there was many a time when it would get me by when i had nothing to smoke at all.
anyway eventually doing baccy led onto other drugs, some of which were as much as a quarter or even a whole 50% as deadly as smoking cigarettes was. the next thing i knew i was 45, still hopelessly addicted to tobacco and sitting here at my computer telling my story in the hope that some other 11 year old will read it and maybe, just maybe it will make one of those 11 year olds stop and think before taking that first drag, thinking it was really cool to be doing that forbidden shit with those cool older kids. if we can save just one kid it will be worth it.
my name is NARCassist and i am an addict.

Nigga, after reading this over again I realized it was pretty clever and a good read. I added paragraphs so other niggas are more inclined to read it, I hope you don't mind. -

Dead and dying ants, spiders, aphids, slugs and beetles. Every step you take is like a bomb.
That's not human nature, that's an accident. Any large creature kills lots of smaller organisms without meaning to, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't attempt to make some progress where we do have control. -

Originally posted by benny vader [many, stranded whales] had somehow miraculously managed to strand themselves on a beach again.
i can only think of two possible reasons for this occurrence :
1 - the whales are retarded.
2 - the whales are suicidal.
scientists and marine biologists worldwide had reaffirmed the fact that whales are indeed smart animals. therefore this must mean the only possible reason for these intelligent whales to be stranded on a beach is becos their SUICIDAL.
and becos these whales are suicidal, that is to say they lacked the instinct of self preservation and the wills to live,
i say we, as compassionate human being, have a moral obligation to consume pilot whales, to kill them for a purposes before they commit mass suicide.
Do you also think humans involved in highway pileups are trying to die? Sometimes a group gets disoriented, this is far better explained as an unfortunate consequence of human-constructed shoreline features. -

Originally posted by Speedy Parker As for cows and chickens becoming extinct without humans that's just stupid.
Not at all. Our agricultural industry has been breeding livestock to suit their needs. Cows and chickens produce more meat, eggs, and milk than ever before, and they have significantly more offspring. They also suffer a myriad of other physiological problems as a result, many of which significantly decrease their quality of life.
Imagine if humans reached a point where a few of us breed the rest to meet the needs of production, and the majority of babies are then born with painful deformities as a side-effect. If you were a doctor who cares about his patients, you would tell a woman pregnant at such a time that an abortion might be preferable. The same is true of these domestically modified species of livestock. It would be preferable not to have created them. We shouldn't kill all of them for meat, but we also shouldn't artificially continue their lineage of suffering. -

2018-03-24 at 6:24 AM UTC in Crystals from Swarovski Play allHi ViolaJI - had no idea you worked for Swarovski. We have a lot in common, and I think we should meet soon to talk about work. We can offer you airfare reimbursement, business class. I know a friendly, quiet bar in the city. It's beautiful at night; you really have to see Chicago. I hope to hear from you very soon.

2018-03-24 at 6:03 AM UTC in Experience sportsHi ViolaJI! I'm interested in purchasing in volume. I cater to a considerably large customer base for a company at our stage of growth, which means that we have to maintain a sizable inventory at all times. I hope you understand what I mean when I say that a close relationship with our supplier is critical. Our board likes to know the core values of the companies we do business with, and I've found that it's best to learn this in person, maybe over a drink. Accounting can reimburse you for airfare, of course, business class. Please get back to me as soon as possible to discuss the particulars. I hope to see you very soon.

Originally posted by Enter I tried to do weed first, but I had no friends. That's why I never understood how everyone on zoklet was always getting high, it's like… I thought you were all social outcasts as well? Where do you get your weed?
So when I finally made a friend in 2014 (lol), he asked if I wanted to do LSD with him.
Dang, that's actually pretty cool. The original LSD users were the chemists who made it, all straight-laced until the moment they tested their syntheses. I have to wonder what it's like to enter that psychedelic headspace with a virgin mind.
As for access to drugs, yeah, I also went most of my life with no connections. But when I was in high school, I got a job at a grocery store, and then another one. Apparently something about grocery retail breeds drug use. I can't imagine why. You just have to hang out a few minutes after work and see where the guys hang out. It's usually in or around the store, and they're rarely discreet.
Did you know this guy very well before you tripped together? -
