This is exactly how machine learning works

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife

And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

A: Drugs

Letting the days go by...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

The real dangers of drugs!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Wait what about the house?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I'm halfway to success!

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Whenever I hear these braggarts looking for praise, I say something smartass like "Hey me too! I've been clean since the day I was born and never even wound up harming others or in jail. Interesting!"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but that just makes you sound like a dick who has no idea what kind of mammoth struggle it is to get off drugs that are designed to be as addictive as possible.

Recommendation for future: either say nothing, or join in with those who congratulate them for their achievement.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You spend enough time around family and other friends who have time and time again endlessly thrown in everyone's faces how Jesus Christ they are now that they are clean, and that YOU just don't get it. They're the dickheads. Most of them fall back into it.

I am not against encouraging people improving their lives. I am also not standing outside prison clapping for the releases.

If you've been exhausted and used enough by enough repeat addicts, you just get tired of it and believe it less.

I will not go nuts celebrating someone finally deciding to stop destroying their life and the lives of those around them. I will not overly celebrate people recognizing their own selfishness.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

So you don’t support change in others?

What a weird take. Dude improves himself and you think to shit on them. That says a lot about YOUR mentality.

Edit: You see looking for praise, I see being a potential role model for others in a similar situation.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

As I said to the other person, you spend enough time around family and other friends who have time and time again endlessly thrown in everyone's faces how Jesus Christ they are now that they are clean, and that YOU just don't get it. They're the dickheads. Most of them fall back into it. It gets old how much they seek being on a pedestal.

I am not against encouraging people improving their lives AND then moving on. I am also not standing outside prison clapping for the releases simply for having accomplished the bare minimum.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You clearly don’t understand struggle, addiction, and even empathy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yep. You're 100% right. I've never struggled and I lack any empathy whatsoever, merely because I will not overly celebrate a repeat offender no longer offending.

Nuance never works on the internet. The irony in how you so easily judge me, by the way. Have fun with your assumptions of people. You're no better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It’s hardly an assumption when you literally write it out my friend.

Anyway, no hard feelings. You do you my guy and I support you in your opinion.

Plot twist they all live in the car

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

And his job is dealing drugs.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He used to be addicted to drugs. He still is, but he used to be too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

In the cereal business its all about who you know. And I know crackle.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

Sometimes, some people need to experience the worst in order to be convinced of pursuing the better.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I have a wife, family, car, and great job, and I'm also addicted to drugs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

And they say you a can't have it all...

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago (2 children)

i too drink coffee in the morning

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

No poison for me thanks, I get energized in the morning by thinking about that thing I said in middle school and everyone got all quiet

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

Yeah, coffee...Umm, that's what I meant.
