    What is driving the high addiction rate? Lack of jobs or opportunity? I have in-laws in a very rural area of Kansas that has a similar problem. There it is definitely lack of things to keep people gainfully occupied and our welfare state’s philosophy of providing for peoples’ needs. Rural farm area where meth addicts are breaking into unoccupied homes, stripping copper and anything else they can find to fund their habit.

    @ AZfederalist:

    boredom.

    When we went to meet Mia for the first time – she was about 8 weeks old – way out in a rural part of Maryland, mostly farms. I noticed a lot of signage about drug rehab/help etc. I asked Dan, her breeder about it, and that’s exactly what he told me. There is absolutely NOTHING to do there, not after-school jobs, nada. And no work ethic. Dan said he offered part time jobs to kids to help him with the dogs, but except for one or two young girls who grew out of it, there was no one he could trust to be on time to feed, clean, play, etc. So I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t work out on the dairy farms out there where the cows have to be milked on time or else.

    Rather than a lack of things to do, it’s a total lack of imagination.

    Both imagination of how the world works and how people work. When that total lack of imagination meets a guaranteed full belly no matter how stupid and self obsessed one is then bad things happen. Like keeping on digging when you’re in the bottom of a hole. Addicting yourself because are bored and self obsessed is a great way of getting dead or jailed.

    There is a whole generation of unemployable narcissists out these just waiting to die and they have no imagination from the get-go to even begin to think heir way out of the hole in their lives.

    I was in rural Pennsylvania until I was 11 when we moved to the ‘burbs. I was never bored. I was always out looking for abandoned baby animals and fossils. However, had I been there as a teenager – who knows. Even in the ‘burbs, when I hit 14, all hell broke loose.

    Reminds me of a construction project in Cat City CA. The contractor was on a tight schedule and was making good time. The building conduit was in and they pulled wire. The next day they found that someone had stolen all the copper overnight. They pulled wire again, and it got stolen again.

    That forced them to work the weekend. This time they pulled wire AND powered up. Monday morning they found a body next to the transformer that was so charred it could only be identified as a female.

    @ AZfederalist:
    In my family it was boredom, the need to party, fear of abandonment, easy access to drugs. The doctors were giving out prescriptions like candy for pain relief. That first prescription created the addict. Then the state cut the addict off from pill treatment. All of a sudden the relative was making friends with people standing in line at Target to refill their prescriptions. the illegal pill trade then moved in with the meth and heroin dealers for a good time for all. Not.

    Once meth gets ahold of someone its at 2 years in inhouse rehab to get stable. Too Expensive for most. The person I knew said they didn’t know it would be so bad. They wanted to quit and didn’t like taking the meth but couldnt.

    There was a good netflix documentary on the meth epidemic in Portland Oregon. A scared straight doc relatives should probably watch.

    It’s been 8 years and things are still not that good.

    The best current treatment seems to be the experimental DMT treatment that is being tested on PTSD vets in California. There are a bunch of ayahuasca clinics in Mexico and Canada that provide this services. I’m debating it. Whether I should go with the other as support.

    It’s using hallucinogenic experiences to heal mental issues around addictions. I’m pretty anti hallucinogens but I’ve listened to three podcases from Special Forces operators who say this is the only thing that helped them out of PTSD. It reads like an unpleasant experience. Some of them combine DMT into the treatment.

    I’m an alcoholic who has been physically addicted to other drugs over the course of my life.

    I like seeing the alternative treatments addressing the underlying psychosis behind the addiction (like PTSD). I’m still a bit of a dry drunk I guess, but I use meditation and organizational tools to get me through. I’ve personally found the mental health care field to be less than helpful, usually only seeing an actual doctor twice a year and only then to manage whatever antidepressant they’ve prescribed.

    I’ve never understood the reasoning behind prescribing those “maintenance drugs” beyond say 6 to 8 weeks. I have a relative who has been on suboxone going on 3 years. At what point is the patient expected to face whatever reality holds? And how do you truly know what’s going on while they’re still under the influence of mind-altering substances?

    My mother BECAME an alcoholic after my brother was killed (hit and run). There was a lot that was unresolved between them that could never be resolved after that and she crawled into a bottle and pretty much stayed there for the next 25 years or so until she died.

    Fortunately for my sister and me, we were adults at the time and no longer ‘needed’ her in the way children would have. But the woman who raised me died at my brother’s gravesite. I never saw her again.

    This is so twisted.

    There is no doubt he was brutally slaughtered on the orders of the Saudi Gov’t.

    That – the method – was a tactical error on the part of the Saudi gov’t but does anyone really expect the Saudis- or any Middle East regime – to NOT take out its enemies?

    Can anyone spell ‘Soleimani’?

    This ‘redesigning’ him as a ‘journalist’ is a Goebbels-level lie. That was his ‘cover’ which the Washington Post abetted.

    So this utter CRAP that I’m seeing about the U.S. letting the Saudis – specifically MBS – get away with ‘murder’ is a backdoor way to scuttle Trump’s success in getting peace deals signed in the ME.

    Wishful thinking has a LOT to answer for.

    Of course the bloody elections were rigged. The evidence is plain and open to see. The fact that one cohort of US society choose not to do their sworn duty and actually hear the evidence is by the bye. Such is the deep psychological conspiracy buried deep in the jurists at the top / bottom of the swamp that is the corrupt US bureaucracy.

    Scratch anyone of these so called Republicans and you will find a quisling turncoat that talks a good game but ditches on you when the going gets tough. Or the cover RINO polity who never really left the Democrat Party all those years ago but who managed to still live the lie. Then we have the Never Trumpers who look at everything through a lens of their narcissism and ‘industrial strength’ self interest.

    The solution between now and 2022 is PRIMARY the LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of the lot of them. Give them no air and crush them financially and organisationally. Harry them at their meetings and call them for what they are …. frauds and Quislings. Show NO MERCY and destroy them politically.

    that said…i’ll go on a bender once in a while, but i don’t drink daily or even every other day. might have one if it is appropriate with dinner…a nice red and some good steak…

    i have my marijuana card and might use once every week or two. i still get weird nausea and brain fog / insomnia from the chemo and the shit tonne of rads they hit my head with and occnl and bad post surgical right shoulder / arm fire and pain. if the motrin doenst work, some tincture does, and pronto.

    the human brain LIKES to be altered and modified. its a basic of the neural network and psychology.

    i’m not fit enough physically for acid IMHO, i’d need to get into better shape to pull that off again, same with the mushrooms that i used to grow…the hallucinogenics take a lot out of you mentally and physically and i do miss them greatly.

    so, its a nice cigar, some tequila or scotch or beers, and some marijuana all in moderation. the days of taking 4 hits of acid and 5 grams of shrooms at the same time are long gone. peyote is completely out of the question as i dont have 3 days to burn anymore

    I’ve tried to avoid marijuana because the VA can still take away my services (and I’m just not a fan at all of it) but my various headaches are just driving me nuts. Tempted to try some from my ex-wife and see if it works on them. I do however know that the thc free stuff (CBD) does absolutely nothing for me. I’ve tried about a dozen different CBD products of different types with absolutely zero effect on either muscle pain, headaches, or anything. So, not sure what the deal is.

    Spent a few months in rural Ohio recently and I noticed the same. House fire down the road from me on a an early Sunday morning and I asked a cop friend later what was that all about. Meth lab. The house was 2 miles from the Sheriffs department.

    There are loads of help wanted signs all over the county for decent paying manufacturing jobs. I spoke with a few guys in my age group who are supervisors or managers and it’s the same story everywhere- they young guys don’t last or fail to show up after a short amount of time. No work ethic and drive and a lot of them cannot pass a drug test (a lot places are waiving that). The fact I was a vet, in good health and can pass a drug test would get me hired on the spot in most of those positions. Crazy times we are living in.

    Good morning. This is from our new Sec State

    Taxation without representation?

    no, that’s not what it is. It’s about corporations paying a minimum of some sort. Right now, I think they can choose what nation to pay the tax in so high tax countries don’t see a dime. I’m not sure how international taxation works, but this seems to set a floor, regardless of what state a company chooses.

    Of course it’s NOT Mental Illness. It has to be assumed to be madness … like cut snake, madness….

    Some ‘socialist plant within the Republican Party DID this and yet NOBODY has the balls of wicked intent to find this individual and make him pay for the rest of his life. Yet I will guarantee the RNC for reasons … like what do you expect … we’re the stupid party…. will yet again prevail and this latest attack by covert enemies will be disappeared down the nearest ‘memory hole’.

    If there was any rationality within the RNC the covert little fascist socialist bastard would get physically and publicly tossed out of CPAC and publicly shamed. Before that however a short period should be given to allow the covert ‘traitors to expose themselves , trying to shove this down a memory hole. They too should be tossed out of the RNC and publicly shamed.

    But nothing like that will happen. After all the RNC has so many self obsessed ‘go along to get along’ traitors in the ranks that most State RNC officers would collapse without them, and the manufacturers of smoke filled rooms would go broke!

    @ AZfederalist:

    Well, for any raspberry you need a power supply. Then you need something to put the board in. Also you need some medium to boot it from. Yes I know all you need is a tiny SD card that plugs in. But they go faster with an image on a USB flash drive.

    Even faster is a real hard drive with a USB 3 interface but then you have a power problem so you need to attach the hard drive to a powered USB hub that is connected to the Pi

    You end up with a mess that does a great job for what it is but it is sprawled all over your desk.

    As to Arduino it is a different beast. A very slow computationally wise platform but ideal for real time control of relatively slow things like motors.

    I don’t agree w/everything in this piece, but alot of it is quite good. It’s about how The Stupid Party should fight back

    So here’s my recommendation: use the word “class”. Pivot from mindless populist rage to a thoughtful campaign to fight classism.

    Yeah, yeah, “class” sounds Marxist, class warfare and all that, you’re supposed to be against that kind of thing, right? Wrong. Economic class warfare is Marxist, but here in the US class isn’t a purely economic concept. Class is also about culture. You’re already doing class warfare, you’re just doing it blindly and confusedly. Instead, do it openly, while using the words “class” and “classism”.

    Ah, got it; I see where you are coming from. As far as power supply and enclosure, I had to to the same thing for the Arduino — that is where the 3D printer really came to play; I was able to design enclosures for that and the controller boards and then put together interconnects for everything I needed. Having to have a drive capability would have added more complexity, and, as you said, more power requirements.

    I saw the comparison of the Nazi symbol to the stage. I guess my question is why turn these nazi symbols into god like universal order that can be seem in every cloud passing by?

    The psychology of the Alyssa Milanos who get sick at the picture of the stage. call out regular people as Nazis, and then ask the hotel to kick them out?

    Her psychology is an exact carbon copy of hitlers. She put so much hate into herself that she became that. Why in the world would I want her anywhere near my kids. Or giving an opinion on any politics I participate in?

    I think the GoP needs to make an official definition of the Nazi-Left with a bimbo and a bozo and bongo set of pronouns. Just so they understand. Then in the monthly GoP newsletter label the actual Nazi-Left. Be Specific. Not overly broad. Single them out. Color them as they wish to be colored. Not safe for kids.
