In situations like this, CPS can actually be a good resource to help her make a change if other options fail. It’s a really tough call to make but know that nobody else may do it and the responsibility can be on you. If the safety of the child is at risk (and it seems like it could be), and she can’t get sober through other means, then it’s the right call to make. They won’t just ‘take custody of the child’ unless the situation is truly dire, and they can get her the help she needs.

If she’s having bad withdrawals then she should not quit without assistance since it can be deadly. She should enroll in an alcohol use disorder treatment program. There are a lot of treatment programs possible, both inpatient and outpatient. She can start with a family doctor or reach out to a treatment facility directly. You can call the SAMHSA National Helpline if you need help navigating anything.

I have two situations that are related. One is a friend, his mother had a really bad drinking problem when he was in high school and she refused to get help. His family worked through CPS to help her get treatment. The other is more personal, my sister is currently going through a psychosis where she hears the voice of god and it tells her to do things. She thinks her child is part of some divine plan. She refuses to get any treatment. Practically speaking, I don’t have any power to coerce her into getting treatment. I’m closely monitoring the situation and if I feel like things have gone too far then my plan is to call CPS. Since it will damage the relationship with my sister, I’ve giving her a lot of leeway, but if I ever feel like her child is unsafe then I’m calling immediately.

Burritos. They have the added benefit of being easy to distribute and require no additional utensils. It’s a bit more labor intensive than the other suggestions but still a cost effective option.

hexbear.net is on the list. It knows about benis.

Just re-rack your weights, don’t hog the equipment, and wipe it down after you use it. If you do that then you’re doing better than most people.

You can stay as long as you need to finish your set. If you feel like you need an excessively long rest, you can re-rack your weights, wipe it down, and come back to it later.

I actually set timers for my rest time so I can find the best time to keep intensity up and not hit the next set too early.

Even more LLMs. It’s a carrot on a stick for businesses.

There is a paper on the DEA’s website that describes the procedure for extracting pure cocaine from the adulterated form because they will do it for criminal sentencing reasons. The intermediate form is crack.

I quit my tech job 8 months ago due to burnout and I’ve only recently felt well enough to start looking for another job. The job market is rough out there so just apply to stuff you think you might like. I think it’s fine to take a pay cut, the high tech salaries are going to come down regardless due to more entrants in the software market because of AI tools.

fwiw, I hear kratom hits different if you’ve never been on dope

I definitely think it should be legal and accessible because it’s a valuable tool for people on opioids. I don’t think we have a kratom epidemic. But in a conversation about alcohol alternatives with people who aren’t as informed about drug experimentation, I’d voice that kratom as a lot more potential consequences from say kava, cannabis, etc.

Not kratom in isolation. But if there is one drug that I’d say to not fuck around with it’s opioid and opioid-like analgesics. I have some friends who have been struggling for the past 15 years to get off of opioids, and many who didn’t make it. No other drug category has contributed more to decimating my friend group.

kratom

I don’t know how to say this nicely. Don’t do kratom unless you’re already an opioid addict and you need to come off. It’s not a safe drug to experiment with recreationally because it’s so easy to get addicted to. I’m a heavy drug user and promote experimenting with drugs except for opioids (and kratom) because of how many people I’ve seen absolutely ruin their lives on it.

The one down there is the boot. Then there’s the thimble, and the tophat.

You’ll have to pay the duty fee for your package to be released to you. Shippers usually want to cover this for you on your behalf, which will be offered as DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), in contrast to DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid). If the package needs to be inspected, the carrier might charge $80-$200 (as per the image). If you got your package DDP then the shipper will cover this for you and shippers will generally amortize this cost over many customers so you’ll see the cost of shipping go up depending on how often these fees are levied.

That cost is also borne by purchaser

This company has the scariest labor system. There are no managers or product people, everyone is expected to contribute as if they are founders, which is why they have the most insane feature spread. You are constantly fearing for your job and they’ll do shit like send you to mexico for a “hackathon”. They have random rounds of layoffs to trim people who aren’t preforming at the top. They really figured out how to work people to the bone.

I paid out of pocket $300 for a 3 month supply of the injectable

It can be a consumption disorder, just like food. It really helps regulating the desire to drink. Also, hangovers are also much worse and recreational drinking is unpredictable because of delayed stomach emptying (you can get drunk all of a sudden).

I’ve been on it for about a year! It’s great! It really help me quit alcohol too. I microdose on it now to keep the addictive behaviors at bay.
