Also, the abuse/personal hygiene stuff is pretty important to discuss with your therapist, and preferably with the therapist you see in the mental hospital. Admitting it here is an important first step towards this, though, and thank-you for sharing.

Your toe story reminded me of the weirdest hospital experience of my life, which was when I got stung by a sea urchin in Taiwan while snorkeling. They didn't have any water shoes that fit my big dumb American feet so they said to go barefoot and that I'd be fine. Turns out the whole bottom was covered in sharp rocks and urchins, hence the shoes. Because I was a foreigner and they wanted to show their hospitality, they called me an ambulance despite my protests. Chances are, I'd have a few stinger points in my heel and toes for a week and then they'd get pushed out. But the guide was having none of it. So off to the rural hospital I went.

We were nearly run off the road by a semi when merging onto the highway. The EMT couldn't believe that the driver wouldn't let an ambulance with lights flashing onto the road. We stopped inches from the barrels marking the divide. Nothing in the back of the ambulance was held down and everything went flying.

Once we arrived at the hospital, a crowd had gathered because the locals had nothing better to do than gawk at the one ambulance. I casually walked into the hospital under a few dozen stares and took my seat in the waiting room. Even though I arrived in an ambulance, albeit unnecessarily, I still had to wait in the queue.

They gave me a tetanus shot and then numbed my feet. They tried pulling out the stingers with tweezers, but after they break off from the urchin they go limp like a noodle. So they got out the surgical spoon and scooped out chunks of my foot. While cauterizing the wounds closed, the nurse began asking the doctor something in Chinese. I spoke just enough to make out that he was ordering his dinner and that he wanted a chicken steak and that it had to be extra spicy.

I spent the next week visiting a clinic by my apartment every other day having grains of dirt picked out of the healing wounds. Fun times.

:buddy: GAY 4 ORGANS :buddy:
I honestly didn't expect that some goons would actually white knight me after what I've said. I think that people have actually realized that I've been pulling a borat, albeit really clumsily since I was extremely drunk at the time of my post (drunkposting appears to result in bad posts while dopeposting results in legendary posts.)

I know what you're gonna say now; my grammar and typing was way too good to expect from someone who just consumed a liter of vodka. I'm not telling you about a seriously big thing though. I can post pretty well while drunk and/or high, and it's just that it takes me up to three and a half hours to type up one single coherent paragraph and that I'm spellchecking my poo poo for like 170 times before posting. :ughh:

Tell you something else I realized the other day. Croatia was an openly Nazi country during WWII. We had our own concentration camps and poo poo, the thing is that when Mr. H. came over here to check if everything is being cooked properly, he was personally horrified and asked our mini-dictator, Ante Pavelić, to treat the prisoners more humanely.

You know, being literally worse than Adolf Hitler is an incredible thing, doesn't matter how you look at it. But is it something to be proud of? I mean, seriously?

I know I'm doing some major blameshifting here. But still, Croatia is one of those few seriously hosed up places on Earth where your average guy has to completely go out of his way simply not to be racist. You know that Thompson guy who became a meme after singing about slaying Serbs? These days he's openly singing about the superiority of the white race and the genetic purity of the Croats. The scary thing is that he's actually a very talented musician and he can sell out a stadium in a matter of minutes. I know that these kind of concerts happen in the U.S. as well, but as a rule, the audience consists of six and a half village idiots, the VIP guest being Biff's pet duck. Thompson, on the other hand, will sell out a whole stadium and send 50,000 people into a borderline-murderous Nazi frenzy. After all is said and done, I'm not sure I want to live in this country anymore. :smith:

You know that in 1987 I pulled a stunt that landed me in the newspapers? I think I already talked somewhere about it, I basically eloped from the kindergarten, took a hostage and went to the airport where we were v&. I was five years old at the time. Everybody treated me like a criminal (especially my court-appointed psychiatrist) and then I realized that yes, I was really born to be a criminal of the worst kind. But I also decided that I would not let that happen.
But I still wanted to wreck poo poo and stuff, and then I said to myself that yes, I will wreck some major poo poo, but the only person whom I'm allowed to hurt would be my own self.

I think that goons would agree that I've been doing a spectacularly good job out of this.

I have since been v& twice, at the age 10 for vagrancy and theft, and at the age of 14 for robbery that nearly got me kicked out of school. :ughh:

The most amazing thing is that the cops always let my poo poo slide since they know that I'm legally insane and such a tremendous fuckup that actually prosecuting me for my poo poo is pointless. AND THAT'S REALLY loving SAD. :ughh:

A goon said that I was about to kick Waldo out out of opportunism. You know what actually happened? I got a wad of money and finally felt empowered to take charge of my own life. Thus, I did what I always do in these situations, I start talking poo poo and making threats, not really doing anything, realizing that I've made an rear end out of myself and then regretting the whole thing. It's the same thing over and over and over again. :smith:
Not only that I did not kick Waldo out, he and I struck a deal on how he's going to repaint the walls in my apartment (property B) and that I'm going to forego all the arrears he had towards me. I've done it before and I did it again. He's gonna do it this Tuesday - - which is when he's gonna have a day off from his brand new job which finally pays regularly. I could say that I believed in him all this time, but that would've been such a self-congratulatory, smarmy and a masturbatory statement that I'm not gonna say it at all.

Let's talk about refugees a bit.

Two days ago, a random refugee smashed up twenty cars and took everything that could be stolen from them and this took place, like, five minutes on foot from the Roach Tower. I probably should have been mad about this, but in the end the whole thing left me confused. At the end, the only thing I can positively say about it is that the guy was incredibly lucky that the cops got to him before the hooligans did - the same kind of people who live and breathe Thompson's outlook on life.

I'm a rowdy alcoholic nerd, not a hooligan. Hooligans don't tend to keep half a dozen, twenty year old AT power supplies "in case someone has to have their 486 repaired."

At one point, it seemed that I implied that the refugees are unworthy of charity. I stopped and did some thinking, only to come to a crushing realization that I have no business telling that Person A is deserving of charity while Person B is not, as someone who repeatedly took charity in the past. Who the gently caress am I to say such things?
You know, the official policy of my country is that if you're willing to work and if you're going to behave like a normal, civilized person, you're more than welcome to come here and start life anew. That was Josip Broz Tito's stance and Tito was literally Chuck Norris and a GOD. This is common sense, but even that is well beyond of what I'm allowed to say.
You see, I'm coming from a long line of antifascists and communists. These people fought for freedom and equality. My grandpa was captured and taken to Stalag 13 from which he escaped and then did some Chuck Norris poo poo across half the Europe before getting pwned once again. My great-grandfather was tortured by the Italians so he'd tell them where the Partisans are hiding but he told them nothing, despite the fact that they were pulling his toenails out with plumber's pliers.
I have failed literally everybody. This is nothing new, as everybody had already given up hope for me a long time ago, but holy poo poo I don't know if I can live with this. :ughh:



***


I haven't been committed due to a series of rather unfortunate events. I went to the psychiatric hospital A where I've been treated before (Vrapče) but they blew me off and told me three things:
1) You're at the wrong hospital. Patients are assigned hospitals relative to their place of residence, in order to even out the number of patients treated. I have moved in 2013 and don't belong in Vrapče anymore, I belong in Jankomir, which is a hospital further south from Vrapče and, to be honest, it's in the boonies. Whatever.

2) You don't have a letter of recommendation from your assigned psychiatrist and your GP can't write you that. Bureaucracy strikes again.

3) If you're not sticking your finger up your rear end in a top hat and then licking it, you're not really looneybin material dude.

I still wouldn't quit though. I said okay, I'm going to Jankomir and I'm gonna do something to make them take me in. Unfortunately, Judas (nickname of my rear end in a top hat) betrayed me once again and I sharted myself on the bus like three stations away from my house and I was so embarrassed that I got off and walked home to clean up. After that I was so tired and discouraged that I simply bought vodka in order to drink my problems away.

That's not to say that I've been sitting on my rear end and doing gently caress all.

I realized that Mr. Weed is one of the best friends I've ever had - making me wonder if I really deserve his friendship, but that's a different matter altogether. Anyways, he'd supply the weed and I'd supply the booze. We both like the same kind of music - we'd get absolutely hammered and cry together upon hearing Balašević's songs about trees. Who the hell is that I hear you say? Đorđe Balašević is a legendary Yugoslav emo singer-songwriter, not only that he did the impossible by making emo music that decidedly does NOT suck, not only that his music stood the test of time, but today, as a little old man, he can fill any concert hall within the former Yugoslavia with people who are quarter as old as most of his songs, bringing the universal goodness in people to surface. If anyone is interested, I can provide a pretty decent translation of some of his songs.
Basically we drank together and cried together until both of us passed out on the floor.

Mr. Weed has been impressed by my choice of music (remember that the guy is like 40 years old) and has asked me to share my favorite songs with him. This is a massive compliment, but I'm doubting whether I should really go ahead with this, because my choice of music, apart from popular stuff, is decidedly comical and bizarre. Like this 1976 recording of a Japanese man singing a classic Croatian song (first in Japanese and then in Croatian), or this catchy rock&roll track from North Korea. And don't let me get started on all the weeaboo poo poo.


After all is said and done, I just don't know anymore. Maybe this post will reflect poorly upon me. Maybe there's someone out there who's still so angry at me that they'll try to troll me at any cost. I don't know.

Fire away. :ughh:

To be honest it sounds like you're embarrassed pretty much all the time for basically... doing whatever it is you do? Hence all the facepalms.jpg -- it might be a good idea to kick that habit (not that I'd know to do that) cause you don't actually come across as a socially inept weirdo in the way you write poo poo down online. Maybe some of your irl antics are a bit more out there, still, somehow you should get to a point where you can deal with living with yourself. Maybe seeing a different therapist or something can help with that.

Sorry about the sharts buddy. Never trust a fart, especially if you aren't feeling that great. Also consider keeping some loperamide on hand, it can be a lifesaver. Also have you ever considered that maybe your bowel problems are due to the drinking? If you are drinking beer and liquor on a daily or near daily basis it's a pretty well known fact that you're going to be making GBS threads liquid most of the time.

I guess all I really have to contribute is that you seem like a pretty chill dude and I hope your renegade rear end in a top hat doesn't prevent you from getting to rehab if thats what you feel is best for you. Also I'm super impressed you can even smoke weed, since as an alcoholic myself I have close calls with coughing on an almost daily basis.

I'm in a good mood.

Took 20 xannies, drank a mug of (good) beer and smoked two blunts.

I decided to be a decent human being for once and to forego everything Waldo owes me since it's mathematically impossible for him to repay everything he owes me - and he owes me a lot in unpaid rents and utilities; about $1400 in rent and lord knows how much in back utilities, but it doesn't matter anymore. I see that he's working his rear end off for nothing, and I'd feel like a tremendous piece of poo poo for kicking him out after all we've been through together.

The only bad thing about all of this is that Waldo tends to leave food scraps everywhere and now he's having a pretty serious roach infestation. He seems to be fine with that, and while he's in there, I won't make an effort to exterminate the roaches (as I did in Property B where I'm living) because it likely would have been a wasted effort.

Yep, just cancel the rent the guy who leaves rotting food area and attracts pest to you property gives you instead of kicking him out and getting a tenant who will actually pay and not attract disgusting insects to your building.

Also, after swearing not to buy drugs with your financial windfall, take 20 xannies with alcohol.

As someone that genuinely gets prescribed morphine and diazepam for a chronic pain condition, i can attest to this.

I doubt i'd hold down a job if i still worked for others and didn't run my own business. I still technically function when on both pills, but about 24hrs later if anyone asked me what i did the day before my mind would just go to a black hole of time, like i 'know' i was doing something but i literally couldn't tell you what i had done in that time.

Sure it sounds fun to try once in your life, but doing it on the regular out of necessity makes me boggle at those that choose to do it recreationally multiple times. poo poo is drat right scary.

Another thing, why is it that every time something interesting happens outside, I don't have a camera along with me? I witnessed a police raid in which a 20L plastic drum of something was seized, and an enormous 155mm howitzer shell. The shell was so heavy that a burly fella could barely pick it up and load it in the police jeep. Fortunately for everyone that the shell was defused, but I definitely wouldn't want to drop that thing, defused or not.

The leftover ammo/weapons is a major problem in Croatia. You can hand over your loot to the police and you won't be charged with anything. This was instated after people started throwing their bombs and mines in the trash or by the roadside, where anyone could find and pick them up (mostly by children.)

Hell, this isn't even news anymore. I'm reading the Croatian portals right now and they don't even mention finding an enormous bomb in Zagreb. News crews these days react only when there's something absolutely extraordinary found - such as that time last year, when the police found a complete and working AA cannon in some old guy's garage.

It's amazing how quickly a good thread can turn to poo poo. Please guys, let's not talk about my racist escapade anymore. I love to talk poo poo and internet slang tickles a funny bone in me - had no idea that some people were going to take it to heart so much. Once again, I apologize.

Here's a quick Q & A:



lohli posted:

The Jew thing was pretty hosed up, you explained it reasonably well though, and it would be interesting to hear about whether or not you had made any progress on it or whether it got pushed to the side to focus on more serious poo poo, or whether treating other poo poo that had you prone to paranoia fixed it.

I never had an ounce of hatred towards Jews. It was more of a "please don't steal my soul mr. Jew" kind of sentiment. I have since regained control over my life and would you believe it, my judeophobia has disappeared as well (and that's probably a good thing.)

Saros posted:

Aaannnyway this is a bit off topic, fatbeard consume more biperiden and attempt more non-racist schemes or something. Alternatively more crazy warehouse stories.

Here's a quickie. About a month ago I swallowed a fistful of biperiden and went out because I was bored at home (this is never a good idea especially if you tend to drop things out your pockets such as wallets, like it happened to me). I then saw a city bus full of people, and that confused me to no end. See, when you're in delirium, nothing around you makes any sense. I thought that the bus was some sort of elephant-type animal and I was baffled that the people were on the INSIDE of the bus. They should have rode the bus on its back (ie on the roof) or OMG the bus swallowed those innocent people and I must rescue them somehow! Fortunately the bus was faster than I could run after it.

I've been spending the past few weeks drinking to no end - 1L of vodka per day, combined with three packs of smokes per day. My lungs and liver LOVE ME, I know. :ughh:
Fortunately I decided that what's too much really is too much and I stopped drinking liquor, save for an occasional beer, and I've cut back on the smokes as well.

TearsOfPirates posted:

Also what's with Zagreb wanting our loving coast? Give us Slovenians some breathing room sheesh.

I wouldn't mind giving you guys the full control of Piranski zaliv. After all, I'm 25% slovene (my grandpa was a ski-jump champion of the country back in 1934, before he badly broke (crushed even) his shin which kept him away from competitive skiing.) The devil wouldn't let him sit still though, so he bought himself a motorcycle in early 1950s. :)
Amazingly, that bike is still alive and kicking, I sold it for good money to a collector from Zadar - the guy came with a truck to pick up my bike, and I got around $100 for it.

Poldarn posted:

Now a whole thread of internet strangers knows, so tell your therapist so they can help you work through it!

Not sarcasm, I really recommend you tell your therapist about your abuse.

Will do so. I'm seeing my doc early November and I'mma spill the beans to her. I think I already said this somewhere in this thread, but physical abuse is the reason that every time someone attempts a physical contact with me (such as a hug for example), my mind flicks into murder mode and I have to mentally sit on my hands so as not to punch the other person in defense. That's pretty sad, don't you think?

Are you doing it because somehow it feels like that way it's a choice of yours instead of something you can't help?

I honestly don't know the answer to this. It's my subconscious playing with my conscious thought process, and it often makes no sense whatsoever, and the results can be really strange.

Millow posted:

Another great thing about loperamide is that it can work as a small cheat when you're kicking H. Loperamide won't get you high, but it'll let you catch a wink of sleep for an hour or two, which is incredibly important when you're kicking dope and you can't sleep for days on end while akathisia is wrecking your poo poo. It's chemical torture. If you're kicking subs for example, I'd recommend you take around ten capsules of Imodium (20mg) once every two to three days and you'll be rewarded with around an hour of IMPOSSIBLY precious sleep.

Millow posted:

Also have you ever considered that maybe your bowel problems are due to the drinking? If you are drinking beer and liquor on a daily or near daily basis it's a pretty well known fact that you're going to be making GBS threads liquid most of the time.

This year I'm celebrating the tenth anniversary of my diarrhea. Now imagine yourself with horrible runs, working at the assembly line in a stove factory, and the only toilet that isn't bunged up and overflowing with poo poo water is a single squat-shitter ("hole in the ground"), caked with decades old poo poo and trash - apparently nobody was in charge of keeping the drat thing clean. Gross. I didn't drink back then, so we can rule out alcohol as a cause of my runs.

I have one golden rule: I never mix downers because back in the crackden apartment, the guy next door used to throw heroin parties and one night one of them overdosed and he couldn't be rescuciated; now instead of calling the ambulance, other junkies simply picked up his body and threw it in the dumpster in the alley. It took police around 0.31 seconds to guess what had happened, and all the people involved are currently enjoying a long, government-sponsored holiday.

The funny part being that there are no jobs in Croatia.

The principal export of Croatia are poor, unemployed people with PhDs. :ughh:

Gotta tell you one thing - Waldo recently found a new job and his boss gave him money in advance since Waldo was doing a seriously good job and was obviously going to stay working there. Waldo BANZAI!!!!! :)

but about 24hrs later if anyone asked me what i did the day before my mind would just go to a black hole of time, like i 'know' i was doing something but i literally couldn't tell you what i had done in that time.

I was surprised this morning when I got up and realized that it's Wednesday. I have absolutely no idea what I did on Tuesday. Overdid the xannies, yeah, that's for sure. :ughh:

Also realized another thing. I'm getting sued more often than I shaving my beard. And that's quite an accomplishment, don't you think? I'm actually training for Octobeard. :getin:

It's around 4AM over here and I'm waiting for daybreak, gotta go to the clinic to have my bloodwork done. Yesterday I had an ultrasound of my remaining (left) nut, and it was completely healthy! :toot:

Not everything is bad, I guess. :)

Here's a quickie. About a month ago I swallowed a fistful of biperiden and went out because I was bored at home (this is never a good idea especially if you tend to drop things out your pockets such as wallets, like it happened to me). I then saw a city bus full of people, and that confused me to no end. See, when you're in delirium, nothing around you makes any sense. I thought that the bus was some sort of elephant-type animal and I was baffled that the people were on the INSIDE of the bus. They should have rode the bus on its back (ie on the roof) or OMG the bus swallowed those innocent people and I must rescue them somehow! Fortunately the bus was faster than I could run after it.

So you did not end up figuring out how to get to a mental hospital.

And although I don't think anyone would take drug advice from you, it seems worth it to say please do NOT take 10 capsules of Immodium.

Its almost like we're a Bureaucracy, in space!

I set sail for the Planet of Lab Requisitions!!

Wasn't there a thread a while back here where a guy OD'd on Immodium and died. I forget what he was trying to mix it with but please take care fatbeard.

I think ASF's junk days are behind him so you don't really need to worry about him ODing on Imodium. He knows what he's talking about as using it for some H withdrawal relief. You can probably take 10 pills of Imodium and be fine. Here's a video of a dude taking 100 of them (out of a daily dose of 400???). This guy is dead by the way, he had tons of health problems though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFavmKiGiNs

I've been spending the past few weeks drinking to no end - 1L of vodka per day, combined with three packs of smokes per day. My lungs and liver LOVE ME, I know. :ughh:
Fortunately I decided that what's too much really is too much and I stopped drinking liquor, save for an occasional beer, and I've cut back on the smokes as well.


That doesn't really add up. You're drinking a liter of vodka a day for a few weeks (that's a hellacious bender dude, you must feel like garbage) and then you can just quit cold turkey when you feel like it without having DT's or at the very least severe alcohol withdrawal? Whatever, I think you should probably avoid vodka all together and just stick to beer from now on, especially if you're consistently eating handfuls of biperiden and Xanax.

I stopped drinking vodka when I started making GBS threads runny black paste - which means that my small intestine was bleeding bigtime. I kicked vodka and tapered down with beer (a LOT of beer, actually), it's true that I felt like poo poo for a week or so but fortunately I didn't get hooked on ethanol too much and now I'm back to my good ol' pill popping self.

Waldo still owes me $80 in rent, he told me that he's gonna pay the remainder the following week when he gets the remainder of his salary at his new job. Everybody is optimistic!

And not only that, but after all the cancer screenings I've recently been through, it turned out that :siren:I'm completely cured of cancer!:siren:

Now how do I restart my life after this cancer fiasco? I don't even know where to begin!

Being cancer-free is great, but try not to celebrate the good news by destroying your liver with pills and drink.

If you're looking for a way to "restart" your life now, maybe consider starting with sobriety.

Will you talk about other random weapons/explosives found around the city? I.e. more stories like the authorities finding an AA gun in his garage?

What weapons can you buy? Full auto?

Will you take some more pics of the inside of bomb shelters?

The gun laws are very strict in Croatia. It's difficult to get a permit to own a firearm and impossible to get a license to carry, unless you're law enforcement, working as a security guard or had credible threats issued against you. The background check is very thorough and includes police interviews with your neighbors and family. It's enough for a neighbor to claim he'd heard a loud dispute in your house for the permit to be denied. No selling or buying without permit. All guns must be transported unloaded, and you can only do that if you're on your way to the range or back. Police will drop by and check whether your gun is under lock and key. If your gun safe happens to be unlocked when they check it, you lose the gun.

That being said, there is a lot of left over crap from the war, PKMs buried beneath barns and the like, but gun crime is low and you're unlikely to be killed by anyone that isn't an alcoholic member of your own family.

There was an interesting case a few years ago when a war hero veteran general went nuts and had a rampage during which he killed five people in a rural area, among them a SWAT dude. The only man that faced him and lived was one Vlado Knok, who was so drunk the general thought he was already dead.

Have a photo of the general:
