Originally posted by mmQ Drinking it isn't that uncommon. Well maybe a little. But it's not like rare or unheard of like you're making it sound like. Some tweakers just put it in their water bottles and sip on that shit all day long.
Now that I think about it, it's not as absurd as it sounds.
People take oral amphetamines all the time (like adderal for ADHD, etc).
Hmm, I may just start taking oral amphetamines.
Either that, or injecting it straight into my eyeball (that's a thing, right? I hope it isn't, cuz it sounds weird, but I do think it's a thing). -

Hmm, I wouldn't have even guessed that Canada Post (or US Postal Service or whatever nation's postal service you use) monitored frequency of tracking.
Even for completely innocent purchases, like books about computer programming, or essential oils for my diffuser, I refresh the tracking page dozens of times a day.
That's just cuz I'm impatient as a motherfucker. -
2018-11-14 at 11:50 AM UTC in Meth vs CrackThe debate of the century.
I just got $100 worth of crack and am having a damn good time on that shit.
I rarely do meth, but I have a fascination with the chemistry that goes into making it.
But crack, holy fuck, why aren't shrines and temples constructed to commemorate the beauty that is crack cocaine?
Someone convince me that I just haven't tried the right meth yet, because if there's something better than what I'm doing right now, I want it. I want all of it. -

Originally posted by Lanny Sure, obviously scientific inquiry has done a lot of practical good for us. I don't propose "tearing down" the social institution of science. I just think we should be honest about what it is: a mechanism for producing useful beliefs, many of which we don't actually have a robust reason to call actually true. Specifically, using terms like "likelihood" or "probability" of a theory being true are strictly a misuse of the statistical terms.
Yeah I guess I was actually the one being pedantic here. I agree with what you're saying. Absolute knowledge, the kind we boast about in the various scientific communities, really is just a way of taking empirical observations and turning them into solid fact, when really, that's not what logic and reason dictate.
Originally posted by Lanny Not far, although it's a little different. Hypothetico-deductivism kinda cropped up as (or is editorialized to be) a way out of the problem of induction. Hume was right that observing a thing being one way, even many times, is not logically sufficient to suggest that it will be that way in the future. But Hume would seem to agree we can reject hypotheses which make contrary predictions to observed actuals. The deductivists thought (broadly) that since we could deny hypotheses with certainty, and classes of hypotheses are mutually exclusive, we could sort of "exhaust the alternatives" to verify a true hypothesis. But when we look at it, most classes of hypotheses explaining observable phenomena are literally infinite.
I've really gotta brush up on my Hume, and the whole notion of hypethetico-deductivism.
Fuck, now that I think of it, where did all my philosophy knowledge go? It's like you use the logical tools you learn from philosophy on a day-to-day basis, but in terms of specific philosophical debate, I'm starting to feel lost here. -

Originally posted by Mewsik LMAO .. I think I would have been far better off snorting fireball. hahahaha
You might think that, but, having snorted alcohol before (yeah, it's fucked up, but it is what it is), and having snorted meth... I'm not sure snorting alcohol is all that much better.
Either way, you're gonna burn your nasal cavities.
But at least the meth will make you feel something akin to pleasure.
Snorting alcohol will never be a good time, I can assure you. -

I lol'd especially hard at that bolded part.
Like life is some kind of finite resource that you can clutch onto at the expense of others...
I guess one has got to go when one has to go.

Don't push your luck.
I like you, but my royalties stay mine
I'm gonna set up a Tax-Free Savings Account and fill it up with cash for any nephews or nieces I have.
Or, I might even have kids of my own.
Either way, I'm stockpiling for fam only.
Sorry :(. -
2018-11-14 at 2:21 AM UTC in RIP StanleyI honestly believe comic books are for nerds/squares like Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons,
but to all the haters in here, Stan Lee was a fucking legend.
He deserves some respect. -

I was 14 … I stayed up for 4 days straight and shortly after went to rehab lol
Wait, meth or fireball whiskey?
Lol, I've kinda lost the plot here... -
2018-11-14 at 2:14 AM UTC in How are you feeling at the moment..Fuck all y'all Fireball haters.
It is the ideal liquor for anyone who just wants to get drunk but doesn't like the general taste of pure (80 proof / 40% pure, for the pedants) liquor like vodka and so forth. -
2018-11-14 at 2:10 AM UTC in should lanny stop pretending to be an important philosopherAlso, Lanny, I could totally have missed something fundamental to your argument due to my current BAC, as well as general ADHD.
If so, before outing me as an utter fool, please take some pity.
Again, I think you're correct, but we don't need absolute, unwavering logical certainty for science to be practical, let alone intrinsically valid. -
2018-11-14 at 2:07 AM UTC in should lanny stop pretending to be an important philosopher
Originally posted by Lanny The deeper issue is that it simply does not work on a statistical level: failure to falsify does not, on its own, yield any information about the validity of a theory. Sure, we can say it's very likely that a given model is wrong in light of some observed results, but the survival of a model against testing doesn't actually say anything about it being correct, at least not formally. We certainly have the intuition that it does, but mathematically or logically we can't say anything about it.
While I fully agree with your conclusion here, I still think we can draw a distinction between pragmatic knowledge, and pure knowledge (for lack of a better descriptor).
We may encounter 10,000,000,000 white swans, and only one black swan, but that doesn't really negate the usefulness of having detected 10,000,000,000 white swans.
We can state with a degree of pragmatic certainty that swans are, generally speaking, white.
Speculation about the implications that arise from the one black swan are interesting, but are they really worth tearing down the foundations of the science we have come to know and trust (in the sense that we trust applied science for, say, automobile engineering, or nuclear power generation)? -

Originally posted by Ghost Don't drink meth kids, just inject it.
I've heard of people taking meth in so many different ways.
Heck, I've (self)-rectally administered opiates and other drugs, not to mention IV'd all kinds of shit.
But drinking meth? That's some next level shit right there.
Originally posted by Ghost Yes lol I hate the stuff
You'll learn to love it.
If you're not much of a drinker (I've noticed that most people who are really into stimulants tend not to like alcohol all that much), you'll find that Fireball is the least of many possible evils. -
2018-11-14 at 1:57 AM UTC in Speaking of smells ....I dive right into my apartment buildings' dumpster and just roll around in pure garbage every morning.
Then I ride around on the busiest form of public transit I can find for hours.
My fetish is watching people recoil with disgust at my unpleasant odor.
There, I said it.
I have a thing.
It's gross, but it's who I am.
Please don't kink shame. -
