Yes the way the product is made has changed. From the synthesis, to the facilities, scale and locations.

Meth cooking has moved from sporadic, scattered psuedoephedrine based small batch cooks in the United States to MASSIVE scale superlabs in Mexico.

The formula has changed though as well, psuedoephedrine is too difficult to obtain at the scale that it is needed to produce this much meth. So these new meth factories use the P2P (phenyl-2-propanone) method. This is the one they use in breaking bad for the same reason essentially once they get big enough.

What has changed with this method is that the meth comes out as a racemic mixture and must be cleaned up to get a pure D-Methamphetamine product, or mostly cleaned up. The remain L-Methamphetamine makes the high less mentally euphoric and more physically stimulating.

(Essentially less potent mg for mg.)

More product is needed to get the same effect compared to pure D-Meth which is what psuedoephedrine synthesis produces.

This new super lab product is also usually less clean in general. It often is more likely to contain potential leftover contaminants simply because it's made in huge batches by a group that has only recently decided to go all in on meth.

They also aren't like... taste testing their products. Often, small batch cooks would do this, they were addicts too lol

Superlabs just make tons of this new more "commercial grade" stuff and hope it turns out well after it's refined a couple times.

It's often cheaper for the end user and the price speaks for itself. It sells itself, a small dip in potency for a huge price break is a no brainer.

Call your penis a pecker or a schlong

Call your nose your beak obviously that ones great

Fingers/hands can be called paws, mits, grippers or grabbers, possibly claws or talons

You can call your knees and elbows "the ol hinges"

Obviously your feet should be called hooves or roots

Your belly can be called the incenerator or the disposall

Your hair is a mane

Your eyes are peepers

Your job sounds like it was awesome

What did y'all do, like what kind of company was it if you don't mind me asking

Sometimes reality syncs up really nicely for us, that's awesome lol

Holy shit I just watched this on Tubi the other week

I enjoyed it, it was pretty cheesy and not necessarily the best flick, I suppose I just liked it because I like Danny Devito and of course Martin Lawrence.

Yeah there's nooooo way it also could have just been your garden variety stimulant/amphetamine psychosis

I have a sneaking suspicion his buddy was doing meth/adderall/other stimulants to stay lean.

Amphetamines combined with lack of sleep can fuck with your head. (Especially if you're already an idiot.)

For the record everyone: Methamphetamine is growing rapidly in terms of popularity, all over the world.

Crystal meth can absolutely destabilize one's mental health to the point it is scary.

Yes it can make you lose weight and concentrate on boring tasks but you HAVE to fucking sleep and eat. (A lot of people just stop taking care of themselves cause the physiological cues for hunger and rest don't happen on these drugs)

Don't use meth every day. Duh.

If you begin to feel like you're experiencing things that are outside the realm of normal possibility you might want to put it down and take a Valium and just go to fucking bed.

Thank you this has been my meth TED talk.

(2 years clean this November.)

I agree with you about India and the Caribbean etc. being considered their own "continents"

Ay that makes sense it's grounded in a pen and paper game

Cyberpunk is a genre of science fiction (mostly literature) often credited with being sparked by William Gibson's "Neuromancer"

It is a far larger and more influential piece of contemporary science fiction and pop culture than simply being an open world video game

The title of the video game is in reference to the genre that has existed since the 1980s, and honestly the game is more of a retro future 1980s style sci Fi action/crime thriller game than a genuine "Cyberpunk" work of fiction, at least thematically speaking. Uh weirdly Deus Ex (1) is sort of more Cyberpunk in essence than "Cyberpunk 2077"

(William Gibson himself has stated that the cyberpunk 2077 game essentially only shares an aesthetic theme with the genre. A retro future 1980s aesthetic essentially being all that it shares with some cyberpunk fiction. Cyberpunk fiction has nothing to do necessarily with the 1980s vibe, Neuromancer and other early works simply happened to have been written during that time period.)

Morrowind goose is vibing

Yes

I've honestly thought that taking the visible impact of copyright infringement

(and turning it up to eleven and keeping it there,)

might eventually create pressure from corporations on governments for the regulation of unrestricted use of AI to generate images

Honestly a lot of his earlier stuff is serviceable if somewhat forgettable rap rock (He likely was inspired somewhere along the line by the early work of the beastie boys)

Once he decided he was also country fusion it really started to be very very crappy. His attitude is also awful since the early 2000s.

I do recall a song of his called "New York's not My Home" or somthing (this would be probably late 80s, early 90s) in which he essentially states that the wild stuff he encounters in New York doesn't bother him because he understands that there are cultural differences between places

It's a pretty far cry from the weapons level MAGA idiocy he now feeds on, though it seems to be slowly losing wind in his sails so to speak. (No one going to his shows lol)

That being said his best song is "Bawitaba" (sp?) which while fun sometimes isn't exactly an intellectually rich piece of artwork.
