2019-03-03 at 4:28 AM UTC in Where is the line between being a junkie and not?
Originally posted by GGG I had to go to rehab when I was 13/14 and had had like, two cigarettes, a couple shots, and smoked weed maybe a total of three times. No other drugs.
They thought it would scare me straight, hearing all of these awful stories, but actually I just found more dealers instead and started doing a fuckton more drugs once I got out and stopped having to drop.
That's the problem with a lot of the fear mongering.
I totally get why parents, teachers, same-aged friends even, will become concerned at the first signs of drug use. But I've also seen excessive and over-the-top concern result in worsening drug use patterns.
I mean, I think a part of the reason I saw opiates as so benign at the time was because you hear about people "getting hooked after the first time"... Or "dying from one hit"... Etc.
Well, I didn't get hooked until about my 20th to 30th time using. And I certainly didn't die despite taking at-times heroic doses.
Heroin (and opiates more generally) is virtually benign to the body (at least, when factoring out impurities like fentanyl, or needle sharing, or mixing with other drugs, etc).
So when people make it out to be the most dangerous thing in the world, and then you go and do it a few times... maybe even a few dozen times... With no ill effects...
It makes you feel like either:
A) Everybody lied to you and it ain't so bad of a drug.
B) You're special and invincible.
Either way, it results in more usage. -

2019-04-17 at 8:20 PM UTC in Constructing an Impenetrable FortressAs many of you have surmised by now, I have a bad habit for letting derelicts and reprobates into my home.
Factor in that I live in a town absolutely brimming with such unwanted visitors, and you have a recipe for perpetual failure in life.
I thought of just relocating to another town, but I've been doing that my whole life. I need to stop running away from my problems and start facing them and dealing with them head on. But first, I need some space to allow me to rebuild some of the momentum I once had.
So therefore, I have set out to construct an impenetrable barrier between the undesirables that dwell outside, and the peace, safety, and tranquility conducive to productivity and personal and psychological growth that exists inside these walls.
Here is my entire plan laid out for others to see. I feel like if I make a public declaration of my itemized checklist of steps required (largely inspired by Octavian's recent "Next week I will..." thread), that I will be more likely to follow through on each step.
So here goes:
1. Rewiring my apartment intercom so I can more easily intercept visitors that at least have the decency to try to use the front door like a normal visitor. I also want to be able to completely block any potentially noisy "buzz" sounds altogether after hours, or while I'm particularly busy during the day and need to focus.
1A.Download and study the precise intercom wiring schematics.
1B.Purchase soldering kit and wire cutters/strippers and various other things I might need for this project.
1C. Work out how I am going to reconnect all the different components into an Arduino board and Raspberry Pi so that it can all be controlled via devices on my network.
2. Controlling unwanted visits at my rear patio door (the bane of every ground floor apartment dweller).
2A. Install outdoor (WiFi connected) camera with two way voice communication (so that I can first see who it is, then ask them what they want, all before even approaching the door, let alone having to open it to find out). I also believe that the camera will also deter the more criminally oriented visitors (it will probably freak them out and maybe keep them away entirely), or the more crazy/paranoid perpetually drugged out and/or schizo ranters and so on (who will be likewise freaked out and likely not return).
2B. Install pressure sensor mat that will immediately turn on the outdoor camera's lights. This is also meant more as a deterrent to hopefully remind people that A FUCKING REAR PATIO DOOR ISN'T MEANT TO BE KNOCKED ON WHEN A PERSON HAS A FRONT DOOR YOU FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE FUCKS!!!11 (sorry, temporary side rant).
3. Add speech-to-text and text-to-speech interception of BOTH front intercom AND rear patio, so that I can actually just let the machine answer it if I feel like it. I think I'm gonna have a recording of Consuela (of Family Guy fame) saying "Noo, noo, Superman not home."
4. A backup plan for the especially persistent.
4A. Wrap barbwire around baseball bat.
4B. Approach patio door with said bat and have the curtains automatically slide over and a bright light automatically shine directly on me.
4C. If they still don't get the hint... Proceed to bludgeon unwanted visitor with said bat. -

I occasionally try to play the same role for a thread/post here or there, but it's a full time job that legit requires commitment. -

But... He has this way of making you feel guilty for not helping him... like a lost and sad puppy...
OMG WAS THAT NOT TED BUNDY'S ENTIRE RUSE? Fake an injury or some other disability or issue in life to encourage trust and elicit sympathy???
