    according to those who have chronic pain and have used both, heroin is a much more reliable and safer to dose pain management tool than fentanyl. a lot of the dangers come from the illegality like dealers cutting with toxic chemicals to maximize profit and stigma keeping users alone and in the dark away from doctor supervision and advise.

    of course it has plenty of abuse, but so does everything. the abuse could be much better managed if it weren’t a back alley secret joy and were instead a socially accepted and legal pain medication with education on the risk and standards for purity.

    btw everyone should get some narcan, you could save a life some day.



  • the difference between the lockdowns where there was understandably a drastic drop in crime to after lockdowns were lifted does not a trend make; it’s an externality, and the only rise i referenced. comparing pre lockdown to post lockdown there is a clear continued drop in crime overall. i referenced this lockdown ‘rise’ particularly because it’s what media and fascists have used to pursue greater police budgets and stricter laws and campaigning, and it is misleading at best to parrot their fear mongering over ‘rising crime’ especially without any data to back it up.





  • awesome!

    fyi: i used garuda for a few months and while i loved it, i did have some stability problems and couldn’t solve it and also found some garuda team on their forums to be fairly rude in some cases so i switched to endeavourOS. it’s very very similar to garuda, also arch based, except i’ve had no stability issues and found their website faq and articles and forum much more helpful and kind to noobs than most distros and i liked that a lot.

    this isn’t to say don’t use garuda or anything but that if you do have issues then endeavourOS is an easy sidestep with also great gaming performance and similarly solid theming.

    also if you need to use EA app i recommend installing through heroic games launcher; the lutris script seems fucked for now.

    also also look up setting up a single gpu passthrough windows vm and how to hide hypervisor for any games that flat out don’t work on proton like fortnite or in my weird case sniper elite v2, and i think also pubg is borked still. some anticheat games are working but sadly some are still being stubborn. this solves that without dual booting or windows getting it’s own partition.


  • uh 1.458333, 3’s repeating of course

    so that’s 1:27:30 when accounting for minutes instead of fractional ten-hours.

    that is, of course if it’s a 10 hour DAY clock; if it’s a 10 hour am/pm clock then it’s 2.91666 6’s repeating fractional ten-am/pm-hours which is 2:54:59 am.

    i think. i’m not super good at math, but i tried.
