In the most literal sense possible, there’s nothing empathetic about being unable to understand or relate to experiences distant from your own. I’m not going to join in trying to share insight into the interplay of poverty, escapism, and addiction when you so clearly don’t give a shit. Happy new year man.

I would go as far as to say no single chemical is “the problem” and that entire perspective is brutally reductionist. There are so many problems with the way we’re living, pinning the blame on the existence of temporary escape is so backwards and cruel it’s hard for me to imagine what makes someone think that way. “TrickDacy” is really showing their whole ass here

Just wanted to say this was an insightful and empathetic post from someone who clearly has a lot more direct experience than the guy going off about heroin itself chemically ruining lives

I’ve never seen a glass bottle of milk outside of old movies, around here it’s plastic jugs and the “fancy” stuff comes in cartons

So this is how I find out I’m poor…
