Your Character Flaws

[woops]

Luka have you ever considered becoming a luxury street poet, a kind of high society curio item that you need special instructions to get too like an elite cocktail lounge that only sells straight vodka imported from the caucuses for $100 a shot?

We are working on this constantly

 

[Clinamenic]

Maybe there is an elite, clandestine coterie of fellow sigmas in London who will appreciate his demeanor and/or physique.

Luka and Woops could get invited to Davos for private after-hours sessions with the global elites, $10,000 a pop (the elites, of course, would then mint the poems into NFTs and quadruple their investment).

No he really has been at work all day.

And he rallies the other elders to support his story... a generational suppression

i met some shot to bits hippy woman that was claiming a friend of hers followed that trajectory. i feel that i am so banal looking that this will never happen to me. you need to be able to fit into those environments, if not by being good looking then by being a real oddity, a genuine grotesque

It's varied over the years. Morphine for a bit in college (random chance, stumbled upon a large amount getting dealer-dumped to leave the business; was a friend/student or wouldn't have trusted). Had a bad dependence for about three months, to the point I'd wake up 4am withdrawing have to redose. Then went cold turkey, partly out of an adventurer's spirit—I'd heard H withdrawals were about as bad as it gets, seen the depictions in e.g. Trainspotting of hallucinations. Well, didn't get any visual or auditory distortion, but the emotional distortion, the altered perception of the world, very severe. This speaks to Luka's thread about Factory Settings, actually. All the sudden I thought my whole world was falling apart, for the life of me I can't say why, but the smallest thing would set me off, a hellish three works, I thought maybe I'd never be happy again, and then maybe 1-2 months of turbulence afterwards, going on runs, eating chocolate, anything to give me anything, anything to get me to bed. Hell but I learned a lot about how colored your perception of things are by brain chems.

But things have been more sustainable the half-decade since. Small doses of tramadol pretty regularly, tramadol being an odd opiate. Hits a strange mix of receptors I think. Can be very stimulating. Helps me believe in myself. Etc. Haven't ever raised my (let's say, rolling weekly average) dose, and have tapered off a few times, find that 7 days of weaning gets me to ground-level without any bumps. So I'm not too concerned, things feel managed, but sometimes I wonder why I need it to begin with.

Suppose I had a short poppyseed period in there, when you could still find unwashed seeds in the States. I've seen gas station kratom like you say, and there are some kava bars in Brooklyn, but I've never messed with scripts/trying to get them. Don't have it constitutionally in me I don't think, going into a doctor and selling them a story. Too sincere for my own good.

Prolonged erections produced by dihydrocodeine and sildenafil

At least 100 million tablets of sildenafil have been prescribed worldwide (Pfizer's data; personal communication). The use of sildenafil has only rarely been associated with priapism, 1 2 although one such case was also associated with sickle cell trait.2 We report two cases of interaction...

Impossible to tell whether this is a warning or a recommendation

Now that Luka's started liking my posts again, I find that I don't want the likes, all desire for them has vanished

Kinda on topic...I hurt my back a little over the first lockdown period in spring 2020. Usual shit of working in bed, bad posture, must have been millions who fucked their back at the same time.

Anyway obviously doctors weren't taking face to face appointments then so I had a phone consultation. It went like this;

Me: hi, yeah I've hurt my back. It hurts to bend down.

Doctor: ok, sounds like you've strained it. Do you want codeine or tramadol?

Me: errr, codeine?


And at the time I was like fucking hell this is a disaster waiting to happen here. They're dishing out tramadol pretty much no questions asked to anyone who phones in and says that they've got a bad back. It was pretty scary.

Codeine fucked me up bad enough. Stopped eating, falling asleep looking after my daughter in the daytime. Everything a nauseous daze A very small window into another hell

Fat Jim got badly addicted recently too, he absolutely loved it but coming off he didn't love even a little bit. curled up in a ball screaming and sobbing

 

[luka]

 

[vimothy]

you should do yoga every day like me and luka, then you can treat codiene as the optional recreational drug it was meant to be

 

[luka]

tbh i havent done any yoga since i smashed my ankle in the summer. haven't done any form of exercise since then in fact. need to address this situation urgently.

 

[vimothy]

got to stay on it when you're injured it massively reduces your recovery time

 

[luka]

i couldnt put weight on my ankle how the fuck was i supposed to do yoga are you mad

 

[vimothy]

you make the necessary adjustments depending on your condition. I fell asleep pissed the other day and woke up with saturday night palsy. I reckon regular exercise has meant I've gotten over it in a couple of weeks instead of months

 

[luka]

wha'ts saturday night palsy?

 

[luka]

im naturally much more robust and vigourous than you anyway so i don't need to exercise as much

 

[IdleRich]

H

The efficacy of such programs is precluded entirely if you convey an unflinching sense of superiority, or as Luka once aptly described it from the receiving end, if you "loftily ignore" it.

Gotta say I wouldn't notice

 

[vimothy]

wha'ts saturday night palsy?

when you fall asleep on your arm weird, trap a nerve and then can't extend your wrist (i.e., can't bend it backwards so that your fingers move towards your forearm)
