this chart is exhibit one in the bullshit

see that blue line: that's from prescription meds, the ones they're cracking down on, notice how fuckin stable that line is. it hasnt become any more dangerous to take them and the level of death is managed

is that a 'beginner' opera? I went to two opera shows in my life.. I loved one and I hated the other.

But I sort of want to learn to appreciate it. But I guess its an acquired taste. where2start


inb4 'look at that bougie dog'

barber of seville and abduction from the seraglio are real real good beginner operas imo

best opera i ever saw was contes d'hoffmann tho i would not recommend it w/o first understanding that germans have been real hosed in the brain for centuries

that's the exact opposite of what the chart actually shows

it's the heroin and chinese fentanyl that are skyrocketing, the prescribed ones are holding steady

I am v glad that Pratchett demanded that all his laptops and hard drives be crushed with a literal steamroller upon his death, so we don't have to deal with a Tolkien-style release of half baked garbage 100 years after his death

hell yes

My mind was definitely blown when I read an article last week about a woman who was addicted to straight fent. I thought that poo poo would kill you pretty quickly, but I guess if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything?

Driving to work in the morning Fox News made sure to mention he was from Sudan about 15 times.

On the drive home they didn't mention it once.

I assume it came out that he wasn't muslim?

I read them out of duty...Raising Steam felt like a true send-off and was very sad for me for that reason. All the old characters come back for another chance to shine in a plotline focused on building a nebulous future

A lot of them were co-written. The only one I can remember that was really genuinely bad was Unseen Academicals tho

We live in a world that took Pratchett early but Trump is still chugging along.

same but I used wooden discs I cut down XD

I actually took an 8-cubby kallax shelf, turned onto its side and added a linnmon kitchen table top to the side of the kallax with some metal brackets from home depot, and attached two table legs under the other side of the table, so now I have a neat corner office-style desk with eight cubbies for books and shittons of table space



Wires all hosed up right now tho cuz having trouble with outlets in the room so have to run PC and poo poo to a cord in other room.

Opera talk: I like Tales of Hoffman ok, olympia's song is an excellent aria
