You strike mas more like a Bill to be fair.

That feels deeply insulting, Greg

Gregory Olian! Apologize!

I think both @BEER and @Anung Un Rama have their hearts in the right place.

Well tbf, you DID post that one pic on Twitter that's the only reason I went there lol.



He is one of the better characters in the show though given how just... normal he is.

I think that post is pretty solid, so you've got a point. I'll allow it.

@Anung Un Rama is Lenin.

Either way, the factual dispute is irrelevant. Beer isn't necessarily an addict, but frequent recreational users of narcotics are lower than addicts imo.

Someone broke down the court case a while back. Whole situation was fucked. The dad had picked up the three of them after they all went to the movies. Pretty sure the dad only confessed because the brother was facing the death penalty. Otherwise, he'd probably never would have been arrested for it.

this is Ender's family we're talking about? never heard this story before.

no idea how to take this but I lol'd pretty hard just the same

This is probably true, due to the nature of opiate addiction in general, but I'm also fairly certain that recreational, non-addictive use is higher than we generally believe it to be.

Opiate users are almost always portrayed as "junkies", but plenty of people will use Oxy on occasion without ever turning it into a daily thing. I've always used it sparingly because if you use it for a few days in a row, you're not even really getting high anymore. It's a waste of money and a slippery slope to addiction.

Are you that judgemental?

I didn't realize that was an actual picture of Ender.... just thought it was a meme

How do you mean? Think I have a good idea where you're going with this, but need clarification. Out of curiosity, not in an effort to start a debate.

Respect what @Anung Un Rama is doing here but he's also on notice for voting incorrectly in the pillow poll.

We have other great dishes too. Please

Oh wow a bowl of shit

Don't see the appeal personally, I hate the stuff.
Probably why I've never had any problems stopping cold as soon as I can sleep without them.
Although it's a good thing painkillers aren't uppers, or I might have had addiction issues.

It feels good, but it's nowhere near my favorite.

Last time I had a prescription, I ended up flushing them after day 2.

Boy, ain't that the truth. Except for people in law enforcement or around that life, the general public hasn't a clue how wide spread recreational drug use is. Not just opiates, but everything from pharmaceuticals on down the line.

Oh yeah. People are just out here straight up getting their feel-good on.

I'm speaking in terms of my opinion. People who choose to abuse drugs because it's fun or cool are more worthy of judgment to me than those who do it self-medicate or satisfy a physical addiction. It's a group largely, in my experience, made up of emotionally shallow pleasure-seeking dopes. With horrible taste in music.

Beer doesn't fit that bill, at least fully, which is cause for speculation as to how purely recreational it is.

Lenin (and Khruschev actually) despised drug use as selfish, wasteful, and a moral failing to direct oneself toward the betterment of self and society.
