This is not the way

Add a fourth TIE fighter in there called "your life"

I think climate change is gonna do everyone in sooner.

[-] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago

Well, pass the heroin then.

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago

"The world today" but it's the fucking death star.

[-] dabu@lemmy.world 81 points 2 years ago

Men will do anything including hard drugs instead of going to the therapy and/or trying perscribed meds.

Hey, that’s a gender neutral activity!

Funny, most of the women I've known in the last decade with pre existing diagnosed mental disorders refuse to go to therapy and self medicate with booze or weed, and pressure me into doing the same.

Hey, maybe you should try thera... Are you saying I'm nuts , that I'm psycho or some shit?! Fuck you!

...

Anyway, yep, therapy is great if you can afford it.

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

My ex went to therapy, and still self medicated with booze and weed...

[-] tyler@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

If you’re buying heroin you can afford therapy.

Weed is dirt cheap compared to therapy and prescriptions though, and much safer than heroin

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

Affording therapy doesn't mean access to competent therapy. There are plenty of therapists who got into it because depressed, anxious people are everywhere and it's super easy to charge upper middle class people $150/session to give them the most basic mental health care advice in existence.

And for some people that's all they need, and that's fine. But if you have an eating disorder, or you're LGBT, or you're a minority, or you have PTSD or trauma you need to work through, or basically any "complex" mental health care need, it is HARD if not impossible to find a competent therapist that is in network, near you, and affordable. And there's no way to know if the therapist you're thinking of seeing is competent in those things at all until you go there, open yourself up, and suddenly maybe they say something extremely shitty that sours the whole experience and you have to start over again.

If I hadn't been able to go to my local LGBT center to get therapy, I don't know what would have happened with me. And it still wasn't cheap! You can't just go to therapy a couple of times and be done with it, I was prescribed 16 sessions (which is like, the basic default amount and they will extend it further if you need it), and if your copay is even $10 or $20 that is a lot of money to drop on something you're not positive is even going to help you.

Which like, isn't to say that heroin is a good alternative. It's just that when someone has a $20 in their pocket and they can either spend it on a single therapy session that may or may not be beneficial to them (or can even be retraumatizing) or they can spend it on a bag of heroin that will for sure get them high and make them feel better right now, it's not hard to see why some people are going to choose the latter.

Lol homie people do heroin because they can't afford oxys and percs anymore. It's only expensive if you are afraid to main vein and rely on snorting it.

I'll have you know that I went to therapy... Eventually.

I unfortunately tried to find solace at the bottom of a bottle first.

Didn't work. All I found where the demons of my own mind and the bottles took away my ability to fight them.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

Oddly enough, booze have me the courage to face my demons. The problem was in that I could never remember the resolution of those encounters, so I kept going in circles.

Talk about your shit to someone, folks

[-] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hookers. They're cheaper than a shrink, have access to all the pharmaceuticals your heart desires and if all else fails... they are almost always super good at... listening to how your day went. Hell most even prefer it to sucking on a soft chub for an hour just for you to come to the same conclusion that depression fucks with your libido.

[-] Beastlygr@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Why not both?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 31 points 2 years ago

The only dragon I wanna ride is Falcor from Neverending Story.

[-] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago
[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Like as transportation.

The number of dragons I'd ride in the other sense is pretty much any except Bayle the Dread because he's an asshole. He probably lost his dick to Placidusax anyway (and why he's so mad).

I will never not see him as a dog

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

Man, if I had enemies I’d get them addicted to hard drugs. They’d stop chasing me, and just chase that high

Incidentally, that’s the supposed plot line about fentanyl coming from china

[-] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 2 years ago

I mean if China were actually doing this, they'd only be taking from the same playbook the British used against them with opium ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Idk if it's coming from a Chinese government conspiracy but I've definitely only ever seen it come in from China.

There’s a good Vice documentary where they meet with both cartel in Sinaloa and Chinese suppliers who also are now handling money laundering for them

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sounds good. Where can I find this heroin You speak of?

[-] LANIK2000@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Is the heroin/heroine pun intentional? Cus god damn, it made me spit out xD

[-] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

I hope so. It works both ways, but totally different. Nice.

[-] Entropywins@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Your missing the last picture where I'm giving out handies for 10 a pop and looking ragged as fuck...

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Only $10?

Then constipation blasts her

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Heroin should fix anxiety and stress. Depression, I doubt. A lot like booze that way really. Unfortunately heroin will also make you constipated.

[-] saigot@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Heroin is a cure for depression like a nuke is a cure for a famime.
