Just shitpost about drugs, terrorism, and crime until they tune you out because you've been labeled a crackpot/troll.

Originally posted by eBagger holy SHIT one of those moments where you start to feel really old. Life in the woods had such a huge impact on me, and I'd forgotten all about it. Thanks mate, I think your simple post helped me have a lil mini realization. Sorry if I shit on your motivational thread. Humor is a way I try and cope with shit and keep the heavy weight of consciousness lighthearted, and sometimes I think I just come off as a douche.
Thoreau was one of the greats.
And no harm, no foul.
I think on a site like this we all let a bit of our abrasive sides out in order to moderate the temperaments. It's kind of like expressive therapy, which has an extensive background of empirical research to support it's value as a sense-making mechanism for poor lost souls like ourselves, stumbling around in the dark.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Narc But nobody should take more than they could ever use tho? That's where the problems start when greedy individuals earn more than they could ever use then just continue earning, usually at a huge rate. While there are millions of others unable to get the opportunity to earn barely enough to eat, clothe and house themselves.
What's wrong with taking early retirement once you've reached say the 200 million mark? Then you've got more than you'll ever need and now some others get the opportunity to have a piece of the action.
I don't think your conception here is too far off from my own.
Nobody should be a denied a piece of the proverbial American pie because they are being blocked at all possible entries by the super-wealthy.
Certain risk and trade-off factors play an important role in how one's earning capacity is determined. For example, entrepreneurial risk implies that many entrepreneurs will fail, and so those that do succeed are highly rewarded as an incentive to contribute to more entrepreneurial ventures.
And then there are factors like lost-wages trade-off for highly educated individuals and public servants, who either spent many years in training (when they could have been earning some kind of salary), or chose to serve the public good by being social workers, teachers, and public health care and public legal defense advocates.
My point is just that, a lot of people who are "anti-capitalism" tend to oversimplify matters such as these.
So to summarize, I am pro-capitalism in the sense that I believe that people should be appropriately compensated for their contributions to society, as well as any risks they took in doing so, or sacrifices they made to get there.
And on the other hand, I am anti-capitalism in the sense that full-blown, laissez faire capitalism run amok is simply unsustainable, at least not ethically, since wealth will always wind up concentrated much too highly in some places, and become completely deprived from most others.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

With the stack of 20's he got from robbing that one dude, he can start mass producing cement-bottles.
How can I invest in his start up? Is he having an IPO?

Originally posted by Sudo anyways, school is what you make of it. 20k over a couple years really isn't shit. if you're just in it to make money then get a trade and work in oil and gas. if you want a more informed worldview and to learn things in an environment where you're encouraged to do so, go to university, then you can just become a college dropout like kanye west
This is a very succinct way of summarizing my position on the manner as well.
I loved majoring in psychology and philosophy, but I taught myself programming on the side as a backup plan in case I didn't get into the whole academia thing.
Don't look at school as a financial investment that's meant to return financial dividends. It very, very likely won't.
But if you see it as a time and financial investment that pays in the less tangible dividends of personal growth and life experience, then it starts to become more worthwhile.
Now, if you can find something that intrigues you AND has high employment and salary potential, then you've won the lottery.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Jackrabbitfyi Yeah but negro is a dates term. Nigga bot a dated term… See what I'm saying? I'm not offended just pointing it out
Negro also means "black" in Spanish.
However, I'm not going to sit here and play devil's advocate, because it's pretty clear to anyone in the room (thread) that they meant it as a slur.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Sudo You seem decent gadzooks, I wonder what province you live in.
Motivate me to lead a completely different life
Are you a fellow Canadian?
I'm in B.C. myself. I live just outside of Vancouver.
And you've already got root access to life if you're on Sudo.
Is there anything in particular you've been meaning to accomplish in life, or even something you just want to try but haven't mustered the gumption? I was hoping to provide a general sense of motivation with this thread, but we can always address specific scenarios on a case-by-case basis.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by eBagger damn I didn't wanna be that dude to post a video in a thread with no others I'm sorry come check out my latest review in Better Living Through Chemistry in a little bit gotta go to bed but no motivation sorry to advertise in here its hard to get the motivation to advertise hey am I on topic
The one on Zopiclone? You've piqued my interest since I haven't actually tried zopiclone yet, and am personally interested in all kinds of sedatives and relaxants.
I take no shame in admitting that drugs are a big part of self improvement for me. It is "Better Living Through Chemistry," afterall.
But just be sure not to let it take a singular focus in your life, because, as helpful and, dare I say, fun/enjoyable as drugs can be, they also have the power to destroy.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-10-31 at 2:24 AM UTC in So I've smoked crack and injected heroin before, sometimes simultaneously, but I've never IV'd crack...
Originally posted by Grimace White vinegar or lemon juice. I used to use about 30 units for a typical $10 rock. Crush the rock, add the vinegar, enhancement through something, bang it boiiiii.
Damn, gonna give that shit a try.
I have to wait until I get paid tomorrow, but man it's gonna be a shit show.
In all honesty, though, I fear the needle a bit. It's been years since the IV opiate habit, and I'm worried it'll get me wanting that dope through sheer memory-induced emotional triggers.
Either way, though, I have yet to IV crack so I figure I gotta try it at least once. I mean, right? Pussy ass niggas out here tip-toeing around drugs. Gotta get that experience.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by playingindirt you probably know a lot more about it than I do. you definitely have a much better vocabulary. I like it. I didn't used to read much. I really tried but my ADHD is so bad staying focused was near impossible. I was treated for it a few months back and I can't seem to stop reading. so much to learn. It's exciting. I've even read the new federal budget. lolz it wasn't trump that fine pinned the detailed ways to manipulate it like it is. I think he is a front man. a stage man.
I'd really like to learn much much more about it. correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it's a matter of money available that's the problem. I do know if a corporation makes bad choices it can be disastrous.If I make bad choices I end up homeless. It isn't like that for corporations.
they're washing each others backs and letting americans holding the bag.
I think people ought to get more involved with just what's going on. political leaders depend on our ignorance to get what they want to happen. that would be a good start instead of saying there isn't anything we can do about it. because I think we could do plenty.
The first step to societal change is personal change.
You've clearly made that first step.
