it's so funny when things just pop up over and over again - I recently saw a video of t-pain doing a surprisingly good job at War Pigs, and then heard it on a rewatch of Fargo season 2 last night and thought "I should learn this".

Shane Gillis set to host. I’m sure he’ll be good, going to try my best to avoid the dialog from the stupidest of his fanbase this week.

Stop fighting and give up completely. I promise you that you can be the smartest asshole in the room again, you will get to do that and you will be the same version of yourself that you like to be. but for now and for a while you need to take a break and spend some time listening and saying “OK” to whatever the sober people tell you. It’s not going to get better on its own and you’re not the kind of drinker who is going to just set it down all on your own.

I unapologetically enjoy Phoebe Bridgers - I know her from Better Oblivion Community Center (which, as an old emo kid I know because of Bright Eyes) and her Manchester Orchestra cover. Stranger In the Alps is a good album. She’s obnoxious but talented. I haven’t dug into Boygenius and they are probably overhyped within the crowd where they are hyped, but they are for sure talented and I love anything getting girls excited about playing rock music. Small hollow (/semihollow, not sure) is cool, although as with almost any signature model I agree about not loving the little custom details.

I would certainly welcome your perspective.

I don’t know precisely where in this thread that spiritual came in, might have been me talking about how the moralists have lost their morality. But in the context of addiction that adjective is used in a different way than the religious right imploring America to hate harder.
-
I’d probably reexamine how funny I think the cart narc is if I could come up with the person who is able to push the cart all around the store but not back to where it goes (multiple kid parents excluded).
-
Running policy through a morality test before judging it pragmatically could potentially be positive if the this exact base sinful instinct had not already been exploited by evil to remove all of the good from our national morality. It doesn’t work now that our guiding light is entitlement and contempt.
-
People afflicted with that particular malady are easy marks, and we’ve seen how that has contributed to the rise of the ugliest political movements in history. But yeah I think the conversation about that is meta commentary on some of our contributors here and less about the wisdom of decriminalization.
-
That is I guess readable to mean “homelessness and addiction is caused by people who are crushing those below them” but I read it as a general commentary on the pervasive spiritual sickness in our society where people are only able to understand themselves as successful if they have others to hold in contempt. And thus the sickness you see here.

I’m not sure anyone has said this.

it’s a shortcut to self worth for people who lack character and goodness

You can’t really misunderstand addiction hard enough to cause people to get better.

difficult problem, but it's goddamn near impossible to crawl out of addiction if you have no path towards redemption. If you were a good guy before you hurt your back and got hooked on opiates but now you're a felon, all the more difficult to see your way out of your situation. Obviously complete decriminalization is not a nice tidy solution but throwing them in jail doesn't make them go away and underneath the disease are people a lot more like you than you probably realize.
-
it's an impossible problem and there are no good answers. but fyi good people both fall prey to and recover from addiction. basically every addict is a piece of shit (because of the nature of addiction), but they are also redeemable.
-
I'm not necessarily pro decriminalizing drugs. I don't really have a hard stance on that, just stating that here. The article in OP connects a state of emergency in Portland and the rising number of drug overdoses to the decriminalization of drugs in the state. My suspicion is that the growing prevalence of Fentanyl is the primary cause of the increase in drug deaths. Changes in law reacting to the prevalence of fentanyl is not an indicator that the laws themselves caused fentanyl to become prevalent.
-
Portland bad 😉 but yeah, is this law responsible for fentanyl? did portland kill sam's brother?
