As a nurse for many years I still don't get how Heroin addicts or any other street injectable can be done by first time users? Hell there has been a couple time where a vein moves or it blown.

  • No personal experience here at all, but to anyone who finds this fascinating/crazy, I absolutely recommend a read of "Sing Backwards & Weep" by Mark Lanegan. It's a personal account of his struggles as an addict while being the lead singer of "Screaming Trees" during the late 80s - 90s "grunge" era. He doesn't hold back at all. Couldn't put it down.

    • Iran will face new sanctions for supplying missiles to Russia, Blinken says

    Jump

  • Totally agree with this. That being said, it also seems a bit hypocritical...

    • Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?

    Jump

  • Ahh gotcha. The Anno series is great (same with Linux!) so keep at it - best of luck!

    Jump

  • Have you enabled Steam Play in the game options? Might be an easy step to miss/forget. Usually if a game won't run for me it ends up being something simple like that!

    • What instances do you block and/or contain the most trolls?

    Jump

  • That's probably it - I've only browsed All once or twice when I've run out of new Subscribed posts...I must be missing the drama from other random communities.

    • What instances do you block and/or contain the most trolls?

    Jump

  • Makes sense - appreciate the response! Regarding your last point, one look at my comment history shows I'm clearly not a troll, but totally get it...I just keep seeing all these posts/comments hating on .ml and having not seen anything myself, it makes me wonder if I'm missing something or if I should think about even switching instances...

    • What instances do you block and/or contain the most trolls?

    Jump

  • Can someone please explain all the .ml hate? From what I've seen, it's mostly a tech (i.e., not tank!) instance and I haven't experienced any drama at all aside from other instances hating on us. It seems WAY too overblown and generalized from my experience. If the OP blocked .ml are they even able to see my response here?

    • After a death, do you delete the contact? Or let it sit in address book?

    Jump

  • I leave them. I've even dialed the super close ones a couple of times over the years on purpose just to (anxiously) see if their numbers have been taken 😅

    • Why are so many leaders in tech evil?

    Jump

  • Tom from MySpace really is the nicest guy on this list...he was my first friend on there! 😎

    • Neil Young gives Tim Walz permission for his song – after he sued Trump for using it

    Jump

  • Which is also a song by a Canadian band 😅

    • Teen girl sues Detroit judge who detained her after she fell asleep in courtroom

    Jump

  • This girl is also temporarily homeless, which is why she was so tired. Adds a whole extra level to this...

    • What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?

    Jump

  • Baldur's Gate 1 & 2...the exploration of the wilds while so vulnerable in the first game is something I'll never get bored of while the second game just takes it to a whole other level with your power growing so immense. They still totally hold up with the extended editions!

    • What were your (now retro, but not at the time) gaming wow moments?

    Jump

  • Beating the first Baldur's Gate after numerous (hundreds?) attempts over the years when I was 19-ish (ca. 2009). I recall actually tearing up quite heavily 😂. Even after all these years, still my absolute favourite game for replay (when I get the chance!).

    • Can you hear this?

    Jump

  • As a kid, I thought this was meant to test your sound system for the movie (aka lone CRT) and would blast it as loud as I could.

    • Classic paladin

    Jump

  • ...and from a single meme we see the great divide between Gen X/Millenials and Gen Z. Poor Toto!

    • What is your favorite Audiobook?

    Jump

  • Best version by far -it's almost like Tolkien reading it himself!

    • Thanks to a $1 billion gift, most Johns Hopkins medical students will no longer pay tuition

    Jump

  • Totally agree, it's wild, just wanted to give some perspective from the other side 😊

    • Thanks to a $1 billion gift, most Johns Hopkins medical students will no longer pay tuition

    Jump

  • After all that school, I hear you 😅. But physicians in Canada, for instance, make substantially less than our friends to the south...for some specialties, even getting to $200,000 doesn't mean much when you have so much debt, fees, and other business costs. It makes a difference given the huge need for physicians all around...such a sacrifice on so many levels with little payoff untill so much later. Couldn't imagine the impact a donation like this would have anywhere, let alone Canada.

    • Thanks to a $1 billion gift, most Johns Hopkins medical students will no longer pay tuition

    Jump

  • I get the hate, but as someone with some experience here, the amount of debt from a normal BA/BSc is miniscule compared to med school...like doesn't even come remotely close. The amount of time spent paying that back for someone that doesn't come from wealth is sometimes longer than they live...

    • Just realized that "upside down" means "the up side is down", making it upside down

    Jump

  • Yes! So glad someone else though of this 😎
