If attention is your one and only goal, posting anywhere outside of the most viewed subforum is just plain uneconomical.
Also, I'd watch out about saying even a single derogatory thing about him because you will spawn about a half dozen personalized diss threads from him in SG, as well as a completely unrelenting (typically entirely one-sided) rivalry.
I made the mistake of saying one critical thing about him months ago and he STILL harbors a grudge.
That is some next level pettiness. -

I totally get that line of thought.
I currently don't put any real effort into finding someone to get involved with for pretty much the exact same reason. I have career goals, financial goals, and various self-improvement type goals that I really want to get in order before I start seeking a relationship.
One potential issue, though, at least for me, is setting the bar too high, and thus relegating yourself to bachelorhood indefinitely.
I'm 34 now, and, aside from a few brief romantic trysts here and there over the years as a result of spontaneous encounters, I have been single since 2005... That's like 15 years pretty much. It's definitely a tad depressing.
I think I, personally, need to work on lowering the bar a bit (but not foregoing all my goals altogether - just modifying them a bit). -
2019-02-24 at 4:44 AM UTC in Where is the line between being a junkie and not?Ex daily IV heroin user here chiming in...
I was legitimately a junkie.
I can't pinpoint an exact moment when that realization actually kicked in, but it was definitely a long way into the whole ordeal.
You actually go through a series of standard phases:
1. The "casual/recreational user" phase: The first time I did heroin was in 2005 (other opiates like codeine and oxycodone might have been a bit earlier, I don't remember for sure). During this phase, you LEGITIMATELY are not addicted. You can buy like a full gram of heroin and actually SAVE SOME for weeks if you have enough money to actually buy a gram (that's a lot of heroin... it's not like weed where a gram costs you pocket change). Tolerance is practically zero, which is something you come to dramatically envy in later years.
2. The "whenever I can get it" phase: For me, this was about FIVE YEARS after the start of phase 1. I had a couple friends who were dealing at the time (they NEVER used hard drugs at the time, but it was a quick and easy buck... heck, I even dabbled in it for a little while, but I was a user myself). I sometimes rode around with one friend while he did deliveries, and would get a bunch (of heroin) from him. It gradually turned from every other weekend to every weekend, then all weekend long, then on some weeknights, then every weeknight, and, ultimately, one day (it might have been as much as a year or more after the start this particular phase), you just plain need the stuff.
3. The "junkie in denial" phase: At this point, you are a certified junkie. BUT, the rub about this part here is that you actually have no idea. People will point it out to you, but you still feel like you're the "casual user" from phase 1. You will say anything to justify it. You will recite the ridiculously played out cliches from after school specials and all that like "I can stop anytime I want". You're an addict, you just don't know it yet.
4. The "oh fuck, I actually am addicted" phase: I'd mark this roughly around the time I transitioned from intranasal heroin use to IV use. Luckily for me, I was able to come to this realization a lot sooner than many addicts do, and I had JUST ENOUGH things going on in my life outside of opiates to motivate me to work towards quitting. Once you're in stage 4, opiates are no longer "the best thing" out there, they are "the only thing". Literally nothing else matters. Family, friends, previous goals and ambitions, etc. Your moral compass will at the very least bend a little bit, but in some cases, go straight up haywire.
So if you find yourself even in phase 2, CARRY ON WITH EXTREME CAUTION.
You will be fundamentally blind and deaf to all advice once you're well into stage 3. -
2019-02-24 at 1:34 PM UTC in Gadzooks Never Organized And Dumped His TOTSE ShitPanny, you faggot, I'm still working on it...
DUDE you have no idea how much I work on it every day.
I'm putting together a Totse text file repository just like what existed back in the day...
AND... It will link here, so it might actually boost traffic.
AND… I'm working on building an archive of as many memorable elements from the back in the day as I can.

2019-02-24 at 5:36 AM UTC in Lanny should impersonate classic Totse icons and post as though they're still with us.I have to, respectively, disagree.
Those that want to find us will.
Those that have moved on are gone; either forever, or until they realize what they're missing.
I'm probably the biggest proponent here for thickening our ranks, but alts aren't the way to do it.
Most of the users here are younger than your average Totse icon. I love that panthrax is still around, but him and I are anomalies. Oh and Rizzo too, and SpectraL, etc, and a few others early registrants at Totse.
Anyway, my point is that we need to curb the use of alts and increase incoming traffic via other means.
Something I happen to be working on, by the way: https://niggasin.space/thread/34240. -

And I know how you can have a good time and actually GO UP BY ONE...
Originally posted by gadzooks I have no idea who "Slaynk" is, and thus am not aware of their biological sex, but one foolproof solution…
If it's a dude, suck each other's dicks (cost: $0.00).
If it's a chick, attach strap-on first, then such each other's dicks (cost: $0.00). -

Originally posted by Ghost I haven't had a drop of liquor all year (since new years)
I have a lot of friends who have absolutely no interest in liquor as well, but they usually tend to love stimulants.
I'm not super keen on stimulants, but I love liquor.
I think people really do fall into distinct categories for preferred class of drug.
And that's actually kind of an interesting phenomenon because it may be a sign that literally every habitual drug user is self-medicating in some way.
This might sound sad/depressing, but it's actually incredibly revealing. Once CRISPR-based gene editing becomes common-place, we may not even need drugs...
Imagine ending the war on drugs, shutting down all violent cartels, completely unclogging the prison system, and basically rendering every citizen on Earth a happy and productive individual, all in one fell swoop...
