2018-10-19 at 5:27 AM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Sploo Needs Attentionyou can still do well. But if you spend your whole life trying to belittle people who you deign beneath you, and treating everything like a joke and using antagonism as a defense mechanism, you'll die old and alone. Stop playing a character. Figure out who you actually are.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2018-10-18 at 11:41 PM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Sploo Needs AttentionGood god I want to get high. Every time this year. The air starts to chill and the smell of swirling dead leaves and loamy dirt. And I remember sitting on corners sweating through 4 layers of clothing, freezing, shaking, dry heaving and vomiting as discretely as possible at the bus stop in front of the drug store. With your joints all aching and spine feeling like it's been woven through a wheel. You'd think that would make you not want to get high, to go back to that. But that cold air and the smell of leaves is also a crackling bonfire and a cigarette in the night air, and laughter. Cheap domestic beer, and pilfered whiskey from an empty water bottle. The flickering on the faces of good friends who don't exist anymore. And a shy girl who they always teased because her tits were too small, and her ass wasn't big enough....leaning in awkwardly to kiss you on a fire escape. And there was not knowing and uncertainty and that was invigorating. And between then and now feels like an ancient ocean. And I used to love and laugh and fight and felt vibrant and electric and full of words. And now I just feel all scooped out inside, with a big plastic smile carved into my face,appropriately approximating something more human than a gourd. Fuck.

I recommend reading this article, which more or less talks about how many would like to see the the US empire implode but presently have far too much to lose to ever let it happen.
The argument is that an empire allows for a somewhat 'level playing field' among actors; ie. even though local governments and corporations have no real sense of sovereignty and have to deal with the empire's intrinsic corruption, extortion and racketeering, they have security and the ability to safely profit. The aforementioned negatives are treated as a cost of doing business.
That aside, the US' current situation is untenable. In short, dominance rests on three pegs - control of the world financial system (including maintaining the Dollar as the world's sole reserve currency as well as power-broking structures such as the IMF), control of the petrol economy and the US military.
All three pegs are under siege:
The US itself undermines the reserve status of the dollar by weaponising it against states such as Russia and Iran at a point when many countries are already seeking to reduce dollar-denominated trade. The IMF and similar institutions meant to enforce austerity via loans that can never realistically be repaid are being challenged by new (largely Asian) institutions.
The petrodollar itself is being propped up on vapours with longstanding producers such as Saudi Arabia's wells being past peak production and US Hydraulic Fracturing being a ponzi scheme. What's more, Trump is trying to use threats against 'allies' to lower oil prices while simultaneously reducing competition by attempting to force Iran out of the market.
The US military is still dominant worldwide due to it's sheer size and the existing logistics network of US bases, but it's ability to deliver 'victory' is highly questionable. Fundamentally a large part of the reason it's failed to solve conflicts in places like Iraq and Afghanistan are because the government is attempting to use the military to solve political problems, but the more salient internal issue is military contractors being far more concerned with profits than delivering effective equipment - see the absurd cost blowouts of the F35 and Zumwalt programs as well as their complete inability to deliver. Add to that the fact that Russian (and hence Chinese) missile technology is several generations ahead and has the ability to neutralise the entire concept of a surface fleet and you can start to calculate how much of the US 'defence' budget actually contributes to 'warfighting' ability vs. that which is misspent or simply sucked up by defence contractors.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by -SpectraL The full chemical formula for fentanyl is N-(1-(2-phenethyl)-4-piperidinyl-N-phenyl-propanamide. This chemical is derived from piperidine, an alkaloid chemical found not just in the opium plant but in wheat and black pepper as well. Illicit versions of fentanyl loosely follow the pharmaceutical production of the drug, producing molecules called NPF derivatives. Moving a methyl group into the third piperidine ring can increase the drug’s potency, so many clandestine labs produce fentanyl with differing, unpredictable potency.
