I was given this once after surgery a few years ago and holy fucking shit. Basically was floating above my bed for an hour, and every time I closed my eyes, all of my thoughts were animated cartoons.

Later found out its basically synthetic heroin. Came down and was immediately like "Well now I can totally see how that can completely destroy people." And you know, every time after that would never be as good as the first time.
Damn it, I had surgery in Germany last December had to go completely under with three huge scars on my abdomen and a 6 week recovery period, I thought to myself “Hell yeah, they’re about to give me morphine I was always curious how it feels like!”. Woke up, had pain, the nurse said “I gotchu(with a German accent)”, she came back with a 600mg Ibu lmao

He served time in a prison in Virginia so he has interesting takes since he’s been through the system.
BTW great site. I just played 6-7 vids in a row as I surfed the net. Amazing how every crook looks like slobs. Stereotype fits. Although one chick in a recent video (a drunk who kept drinking while on probation looked hot. Dark haired with big tits vs. this nerdy looking judge with big glasses).

so.. his not some mastermind? this was just a fluke??
I cant believe that the guy who allegedly did not want to eat in front of others in the hostel is now picking up mac Donald's and cheesing with the ham burglar..
Left monopoly $$$ behind as a call card.
Now this guy got caught with a manifesto... same gun .. and fake ids?????
This sound like they found a mimic and planted that shit on him.

No one shall be brought before our LORD David Bowie without the true and secret knowledge of the Photoshop. For in that time, so shall He appear.
Dude legit wanted to be caught. Maintaining the performance every step of the way.
I mean, you saw that YouTube video premiere thing right? Forget making a meal out of this, dude is gonna bring the buffet. I bet his entire manifesto releases on Dec 11th, along with some kind of pre-recorded and decently edited YouTube video.

I wonder what he’ll have to say, and how that’ll affect public opinion. Really wild times right now.

Seems likely to me anyone talking about how bad atheism is on Xitter is likely on the religious side of things.
He wasn’t wrong. There is a direct link from the New Atheism movement to current wacky ideologies, and this has been discussed at length in secular circles. New Atheism had clearly gone off the rails by the time Richard Dawkins was cancelled for criticizing Rebecca Watson (see: elevatorgate).

Ugh. It's extremely annoying. Getting lumped in with that collection of idiots is a nightmare. Especially when other people use it as a rod to beat atheism in general with. The whole 'there is no god, but there are seventeen genders' thing is laughable.
 
I don’t side with his actions, but he does
Make some rather true arguments. Something tells me he anticipated getting caught due to the YouTube account, but maybe he wasn’t expecting it to be so soon. But possibly, only two pages were written and he didn’t get to finish it.

I dont follow religion, but I thought all Atheism is (I guess that includes me since I'm not religious or believe in god) that you dont believe in any higher power, dont give a shit about it, never will and just focus on life without any religious undertones. That's kind of it.... I think.

If other people want to be religious go ahead.

New Atheism became a movement to organize atheists into a cohesive group with a shared worldview. I thought it was ridiculous, since the whole point of not being religious is not being religious, but they decided it was a weakness of atheism to be solved, not a feature. They effectively created a new, retarded religion in the process.

Clowns that most people who are atheists never followed lol

Maybe early on ~25 years ago when it started becoming slightly more common to say you were an atheist they seemed like a significant portion, but more and more people starred calling themselves atheists and these guys got less relevant not more relevant.

(not saying you are saying otherwise, but it's not shocking that in 2024 many people aren't particularly aware of New Atheism)

This is the first time I've heard of New Atheism, but I totally see it now that it's been labeled and defined. Like, it's literally your average Reddit user. Fascinating. Definitely going down a rabbit hole tonight.

I was given morphine and dilaudid for when I was hospitalized for a kidney stone and I felt next to nothing. It didn't take away the pain and I didn't "feel high." I just felt slightly drowsy, but I was also in a ton of pain and was awakened out of a deep sleep in the middle of the night, so that could've been why I was tired too. I don't know if I just didn't get a strong enough dose or whatever, but I remember asking the nurse if they have something stronger and she was like no dilaudid is the strongest thing we've got, and me telling her I'm in agony, it's not working.

The only thing it did do was I didn't shit for 5 days after I got home. I know pain meds can make you constipated and boy was I ever.
I had acute pancreatitis after a car accident (I'm not a big drinker so it wasn't that) and I just thought it was gas or something... Like the trauma of the accident gave me severe internal gas ... But it went on for weeks! The pain got so bad until I finally had to go to the hospital. I stayed for about 3 days and was put on morphine. It helped for the FIRST couple of hours and then it just never stopped the pain the rest of the time. When I was discharged after the 3rd day, they just gave me 600mg ibuprofen. I was still in that chronic pain for a month afterwards until it finally subsided... I occasionally still have acute pain in the same spot especially if I eat or drink something ICE cold.
 
I see him chumming it up with a lot of other privileged white boys in that yearbook. The question is, does whacking a CEO give him enough street cred with the commies to overcome this breaking development?

Pancreatitis is no joke. I get it sometimes due to an autoimmune condition that I have but I know what to look for and I usually get ahead of it. But I know what the pain is like and ibuprofen just doesn't touch it. Years ago I would get demerol at the hospital and while it didn't stop the pain, it made me not care that it hurt. Then they would send me home with codeine to ride out a few days. Ever since the opioid epidemic got out of hand I pretty much just have to deal with the pain now. Going to the doctor just ends up with being sent home to deal with it because insurance won't cover the meds unless I'm admitted to the hospital, which they don't want to do, and doctors are scared to prescribe them anyway.
