I presume it has something to do with not being dependent on substances
I personally don't buy the woke new age 'disease substance abuse' nonsense. Especially beyond anything smoking/booze. The rest, mostly just stop. It'll take some will power, but it seems it's easier for some to just be that way. If that guy wanted to stop, he would. But like a pothead, there will be a million excuses why they could, but won't.

Mental children.

I imagine even Joseph Smith, who was probably a meth head wonky idiot, could've come up with something about 'hey, listen to God and not be addicted to bad shit even if your doctor as a kid forced you into it'. It's like troonery in the end, addicts caused by quacks. Don't be a quackery victim.
 
SSRI's in some forms, aren't bad for severe depression. It's probably better than ECT. (active drugs like stims for being an autist spaz are 10^100 times worse than SSRIs)

But probably later on we'll find out that all the psych meds are what L Ron Hubbard and Scientology warned us about. Think about that btw..
They were absolutely correct about SSRIs and assorted "head meds" It's horrific to understand how the ssris work, and how, in some way, rewire brains. When you go off them you're in this sort of brain fog that never really goes away. We allow doctors to give them to fucking children, who's brains aren't even done cooking yet.

I'm sure in some very rare cases they do help, but the numbers point to 1 in 4 either using or have used them. I think like 15ish percent of the generation public are actively on some sort of ssri/head med. It's fucking sick.
 
You guys don't drink booze either right? that's good, i'm a teetotaler myself.
There is one provision for alcohol, and its the sacrament. You have to make the alcohol yourself though, so generally it is not done and water is used. Other than that, no. Not for recreation or anything of the sort.
 
I haven't played eve in a really long fuckin time, like a decade before it went f2p. The days of excitement, adventure, and really wild things. The halcyon days of BoB vs GS. So I'm not exactly up-to-date, but I always found it best to play eve sober.

Mistakes could be wayyyy too fucking expensive in eve. And that guy offering to give you 10 million isk if you send him 100k isk in Jita is totally legit!
Yeah, I've whiffed a dreadnought drunk as fuck. That shit sucks.
 
I actually do wonder if coffee has gotten stronger over time with selective breeding, kind of like how they say weed in the 60s and such was bad but now it's so fucking bad from selective breeding it gives people psychosis in unprecedented levels
I imagine it has, selective breeding is in all agriculture. The weed thing is very true, weed back then was the equivalent of drinking a beer, now it's like a shot of grain alcohol.
 
Are... are you just jealous that I had a legit prescription? And you would have abused it if you were in my shoes? Nigga, I have spent my life getting off medications. I cannot help what doctors put me on as a child. I can help what I'm taking now. I have done something harder than you ever could, which was putting all that shit away that those quacks inflicted on me. Fuck you.
I think he's more pointing to you shitting on someone else for something you do, and hiding behind your faith when you take something far worse.

I don't run a notepad with what drugs (prescribed or elsewise) so i don't know when you stopped taking adderal. Your ire towards folks that have gotten hooked on pills is pretty clear though, you forget it's not some moral failing to be addicted. It's hard as fuck to get off pills.

Methodists are similar to that, goofy. Outside of the sacrimate stuff they mostly get wined up.

As someone who doesn't know booze for jack shit, what do you mean by grain alcohol?
 
EvE PvP is definitely something else. Even just having a T1 frigate with T2/Meta equipment on the line is a legitimate rush I haven't felt from any other game. I don't think I'd be able to handle PvPing in a Pirate faction ship with pirate/officer equipment. The most I ever risked was a Bomber (T2 Frigate) with some low end officer equipment, and that was just knocking out abandoned structure's in my alliance's space

Ratting/mining 16 hours a day to play for 'free' I can't imagine doing though, and I actually enjoy both of those activities in moderation
Shame CCP bitched it up so badly. I was out of it for a few years by the time F2P dropped.

Really was one of the best, most aesthetic space games. And still #1 for me on space game soundtracks. The EVE OST mod for Rimworld is essential, in my book. Had a nice comfy nullsec indy corp and everyone in the corp was dualboxing with indys (miners and haulers) on one account, overwatch on another for beltrats and gankers. I really miss it, sometimes, even now. But I know its not the same anymore, and I don't see a reason to go back, even if I still had the time for MMOs. It would spoil the memories, I fear.

Getting off pills is as easy as saying 'don't prescribe these as much' an ween off them. 'folks' (I hate that word) don't need to do this, it's easy aa hell to tell your doctor to ween you of

These people will bash anything the aren't on. Look at all the weed card insane nonsense,.. wtf was weed ever for medical? That was just the ol came nose under the tent for all out getting high all over like Soma that it is.. Most people are just too goddamn stupid to deal with.

I feel like you're severely underestimating how bad addiction can be to people who are already in struggling situations and how it changes your brain.
 
Teacher's are just a complete plague, along with the entire public education system
Once had a teacher in online HS accuse me of cheating because I did too well on a project, literally no proof. I was actually interested in their bullshit for once, and wow look kids will actually research and write well if it's something that they enjoy. I got genuinely upset so my Dad came in, showed her (female teacher of course lmao) all my other papers from my other classes, and then didn't even warn her and went directly to her boss anyways. It was said before but I'll say it again, female teachers have no idea how boys show interest in something, get offended if you don't give their class attention, and there is no winning with them unless you decide to threaten the fuck out of them. Got my A+ though, fun times.

Also one time a (female) principal tried to keep me from my parents in elementary school because I retaliated after being bullied. She called a deputy she knew on their personal number to try and intimidate my parents and have plausible deniability. Parents told them off and got me anyways. Mom pulled us from school and began online/home schooling schooling when the year was done. Parents still tried to be nice and basically let the situation be since it was either lawyer fees for a battle they didn't know to fight, or having a summer vacation. Honestly, in retrospect, should have sued everyone involved for their corrupt bullshit because there is no goddamn way an educator should be able to prevent parents from custody of their child.

The education system is full of people throwing around their limited power and too many people with fragile egos working with children. If you're a parent, always let teachers know that's your kid and that you may like them, but NEVER trust them.

Addiction is sad. Its also a responsiblity. If you (general you, not you) don't quit, it will consume you. I had to make that choice. You can go on cruise control for a while. But eventually you got to figure that shit out before its too late. That is why i feel the way i do. I've been there.
