I agree haha (referring To you’re pretty blue poppy pod)
personally, I’ve heard the same thing your saying about swasticas from friends in jail, if you meant it to mean something else, I get your point, apparently it was present in history long before hitler. Who am I to judge. But you gotta assume that people are going to take it to mean that your a nazi or something because that’s the most known use of a swastica. Not saying your a nazi or anything
Personally, I think some of those friends in jails probs were nazis, I mean I was in jail, but i didn’t need care, as long as they treated me with kindness And respect, their personally beliefs are none of my business.
Nah I understand.
I am an underground musician and I've been collecting music from crazy underground genres for most of my life. Mostly stuff like Power Electronics, Harsh Noise, Industrial, Experimental, Black Metal & even stuff like Synth Pop, New Wave, etc.. A lot of it from the 80s' (totally different period).
A lot of these artists also used swastikas, runes & subversive symbolism in their music, but in reality, as actual individuals and people, they were pretty open minded and weren't actually racist or anything at all. And that style, culture and way of thinking became a part of my personality as well.
Like you said, you treat some one with respect and they do the same. We all have to respect each others differences, so that should include even ones we are uncomfortable with. We also always need to remember our history and pay attention to current events and make sure we don't repeat things.
There use to be a time where people could have different opinions, beliefs, ideas, etc.. but we all still got a long and were civil. Hell even friends!
My old heroin dealer was a black man from Chicago. The guy had done time for murder. And him and I became incredibly good friends. He would always come over and of course he would see "symbols" at my place that people today would have a fit over, but it didn't bother him. He asked about it once, I explained myself and why I was into what I was into and he understood and we never spoke of it again, except for when we would crack jokes about it.
I got to know a lot of other black people through him and all of them were the same. None of us were bickering or judging each other. It was just common sense that if you're respectful to me, I'll be respectful to you and it was as simple as that. I don't care what color a person is when it comes down to it.
I always laugh when people call me a nazi. Being a gay drug addict, who use to run with a black gangbanger makes it truly ironic.
But it also makes me sad that humanity has come down to this. If I am a nazi, i'm pretty damn open minded compared to those who claim not to be! LOL
I changed my pic out of respect for a mod. Plus BL is a great place for people to learn. I've lost a lot of friends to drug overdoses & seen people get themselves into situations because they didn't know any better not to mix certain drugs or what the side effects of something they're taking are. I appreciate this site & the people here very much. Many have taught me a great deal and I've even made friends here.
As for the activated charcoal, they claim it can help kidney function. A few years ago I accidentally gave myself rhabdomyolysis, so I thought I could use something to get my kidneys working better just in case. It's also purported to reduce cholesterol, which some blood work I've had done a few times said my cholesterol was getting high. I also figured that since it's suppose to draw toxins and bad shit out of your body that maybe after all years & years of meth & heroin use & all the chemicals we get pumped into us by our overlords that maybe it might help me out with feeling fatigued and achy all the time. Maybe give me my energy back as well.
I've decided that if I do try to take it, I will try it at bed time, in case it affects any of the medicines I take. And yeah like you mentioned, I think if I take it late enough after taking my meds that I should be fine. Was just curious too if anyone had tried AC and felt any benefits, but was told to go to Stormfront. lol The funny thing is, is I probably would have gotten a kinder response about it over there! lol
Anyways, thanks for understanding polarthedog! I enjoy good conversation. Good conversation and learning is a form of harm reduction on it's own. So thanks for the responses!
Cheers friend!
