🤝 Cultural 🤝 What is your response when somebody asks you " Why do you abuse substances? " ?

How bad is Xenporta ?

As forum software it seems pretty good to me as a forum user, then again I've not really used forums that much since the days of vBulletin.

So i actually might have responded to a processor and it talked back.

yep might just be that.

I wonder if something like this would work on here, people are able to interact with the AI and give it new instructions, it's pretty funny, would only work on here though if they are fully autonomous....

To the occasional Empathogenic or Psych users, this question may not apply to you

As for the rest, what actually goes through your mind when somebody asks you the classic " Why do you abuse drugs? " question, and what would your response be? Be it from family, a new friend, or an acquaintance, etc.

Especially if you are functional - financially and socially. The seemingly obvious answer to such a complex question that comes to mind is "I'm addicted." However, I personally find that response not very productive in a discussion and leads the conversation nowhere; I get brain-jammed and find myself struggling to justify or explain to somebody why I choose to crush up and snort Ritalin or Midazolam every other day, for instance. I know I am addicted to a large extent, but there is so much nuance to it.

What about You? I am very keen to hear your personal experience!

Why do you substantiate abuse?

@placebonaut had a iPhone and did that exact thing. Try to fuck it up which it greatly succeeded in.

You have a way in turning bad in funny.

I look them dead in the eye. place a hand on a weapon and say "You look alot like a substance to me" --- they laugh nervously. I do not and continue to stare daggers into them. They move on or we go outside

^Depends on the person and the context. It feels confrontational in anyway or I feel like its meant as a dig .... yup

if not I probably do not dignify that question with an answer at all.

If I do its either none of your business or why would you not want to feel better than you do. (Which answers the question with "Because they make you feel better" while still answering with a question that puts them in the place of explanation rather than me)

Machiavelli would be proud

In Nl its AI voice over how serious should we take this. Via browser not YT

Surely AI or trolls for whatever went beyond this what was weirder,
At 5:00 voice over goes to ~ live [English]. Clearly edited is there a authentic
One stream would be nice. Anyone tried this tactic ?

I don’t abuse them. I treat them with utmost care and love.
