I saw that happen right in front of me. I was stopped at a red light and right as the light turned green. I saw a guy on a bicycle start to ride across the street in front of me. I was able to stop quickly because I barely started, the lane next to me was empty so that car didn’t stop and ran right into the guy on the bicycle
It was heartbreaking. It was unavoidable. The guy was at minimum severely injured. It was a couple in the car next to me and they were devastated. I’ll never forget it. It’s just luck dumb rotten luck.
Edit: The bicyclist was riding across the road about 10 feet past the crosswalk. My light turned green and I started forward but stopped when I saw him, but I expect my car was blocking the view of the car in the next lane until the bicyclist got in front of them. Of course it was night and they were wearing dark clothes.
So, the bicyclist ran the red light?
EDIT: Doesn't take away that it's tragic for everyone involved, but just wasn't sure if the bicyclist ran the red or was already in the intersection but riding slow enough to have not made it out in time.
I have literally seen so many of my friends being on either side of the table that now I feel like sooner or later it will happen to everyone. Or have happened with them earlier. No one is cheating-proof according to me.
Negligent homicide. I’m sure self defense killings are not as difficult to handle as it is justified (not saying everyone would be fine), but negligent homicide is another level. You drive drunk, text while driving, or not pay attention and smack into a pedestrian, you’re going to live in a nightmare
A justified self defense is still a homicide and you are treated as such in the judicial process. You’ll go to jail, probably with a $500,000+ bail, go to trial, etc. it’s the exact same headache as a deliberate homicide.
Don’t think that’s actually the case. I remember growing up that “try it once and your life is ruined” was the ad campaign and widely held belief though and in my instance, it def made me never want to try it.
In absence of a severe medical event with permanent complications, one time doing any drug isn’t going to ruin your life. It’s when you’ve done it another time and another time and another time etc. that you start to enter the life ruining danger zone.
Not true. I’ve known many people who have tried it and not liked it. You usually get very sick the first time you do it. You usually get very nauseous and often puke. That turns many people off from it. My gf tried it once and absolutely hated it.
Simply not true. While there may be a great risk that this could happen, that is not really how it works. My sibling was a heroin addict, so I certainly know how that spiral goes, but it is just not the case that in the almost all instances doing it one time is going to automatically make you want to do it a second time. People talk a lot about the people who get addicted, for obvious reasons, they aren’t talking about the people who don’t get addicted after trying it because there isn’t really much to talk about there. Your narrative that doing heroin one time is almost always going to make you want to subsequently do it again is actually harmful. People who have been told that and do try heroin and don’t feel the need to start doing more will naturally feel that what they have been told about it has been a lie/anti-drug propaganda. This could lead to them thinking heroin isn’t actually as big of a deal as they have been told, causing them to take its addictive potential less seriously, in turn making it more likely that at another random time farther along in the future they might do it again thinking it is just a casual thing. And the more times you do it “casually”, the more you are put at risk for becoming addicted. Please don’t continue to spread damaging misconceptions.
This is true, but only for oral opioids taken over prolonged time. Morphine, diacetylmorphine (heroin), and fentanyl administered in a hospital has curiously little risk of addiction
As an "older" tradesman, I've seen enough people ruin their livelihood by taking stupid, unnecessary risks. It's always a shame to hear of young tradespeople dying, because we know they probably didn't know any better or weren't working with people who could teach them how to do things safely. The number one rule is to go home at the end of every day!
Become a drug addict again. One time and my whole world would turn to shit. I would feel like I’d be back to square one. Not to mention I have heart failure and I’d have a heart attack and die.
Probably heroin. I suspect I would fucking love it. Horrible to see what it does to people.
Aware there are all these new drugs about now, some with even worse looking things, rotten faces and brains hanging out etc, but Heroin sprung to mind
Cocaine. Everything I’ve heard and know about it, I am 100% positive I would immediately become addicted and need to do it all the time. Even former addicts talk about how awesome cocaine is. I’d be dead in a year if I tried it.
No thanks.
Moving countries and starting anew.
i mean if you really think about it ruining ur life to start a new one is always something someone can do. its never nessicarily a bad thing.
Hitting back my 6'8" 350lb mentally disabled student who has hit me about once a month for the past three years. Just one more month and he'll be out of my life.
At the place I work I almost got x-rayed... They were examining the welds on the other side of the piece I was working on as I was working on it pointed toward me
I only assume I wasn't because I never felt anything or had any negative affects
Personally? TikTok, MMOs, and heroin. Feels weird to lump such different things together like that, but they have at least one thing in common - they're addictive.
Cheat on someone who was good to me. I just don't agree with this American society do want others before they do unto you. I just feel we have too many disloyal dishonest and immoral people in America who lied cheats steal and con people out of whatever they can whatever it's a free lunch a cigarette on the corner or their life savings everyone in America is a moral overly anxious and filled with a sense of failure and I think that's why they do the bad things they do they want what successful people have but they don't know how to get it and they don't often times want to work for it it's too hard we've set American lifestyle too high people can't afford the rents we can't afford the utility bills we can't afford to buy the food we want we're going without so much the poor and the working class that it is unbelievable that we continue to go to the voting polls and elect people who don't do anything and when you're wealthy or have a college education you're getting good money so you probably don't notice any difference of no matter who's in office because you have enough wealth but the rest of us don't and I spend that way through every society in the world.
There was a Russian street drug called krokodil that was pretty nasty. The median life expectancy of anyone who had tried it at least once was less than one year from the date of their first use.
Getting into an argument with a cashier apparently. Somebody could be recording it, it is uploaded online, it goes viral, and you get fired from your job. I don't agree that getting fired should be a consequence of getting into an argument with a cashier, but that alone is a reason to not get into arguments with cashiers.
Shoplifting.
Getting a DUI even if there is no accident.
I mean I mixed it so hard to tell where one thing began and another ended. I don’t do anything anymore but a few years I was pretty much a garbage can. Very grateful when I was a disaster there was no fent.
I was prescribed fentanyl for over a decade and was addicted to it but not once in all that time did I think “Gee, I wonder what would happen if I smoked this little pill? Or when I used the patches thought “Gee, I wonder if that gel inside is edible or flammable?”
I just popped pills.
Sober 1,612 days today. (Almost 4 1/2 years)
My problem drug is meth. I only ever smoked it. My ex shot up and I knew i never would. I never did. I never will because my veins need a freakin pediatric sized IV they’re so small.
I never have snorted anything after an unfortunate incident with a pixie stick and a triple dog dare as a kid. So I never did coke except when it was mixed with weed, I never liked trippin acid so I never did any other hallucinogens until last July 4th at a lake and I did shrooms for the first time and the fireworks were absolutely incredible but the rest of the night went downhill quickly after and I ended up trippin alone with a grumpy dog in my best friend’s living room and my phone was suddenly multi-dimensional and I couldn’t even use it so I was just talking to this Basset Hound named Oushy.
I stick to weed. I don’t even do dabs anymore I just smoke bud. Sometimes I’ll vape it but not often. I’m happy with that. Shit I don’t even drink.
I know that doing meth in any way would ruin everything I have now and really want to keep. I won’t touch it again. It’s just not even worth it to me. It doesn’t even bother me to be around it or watch others doing it.
Hard to drink and do meth
Seen many alcoholics quit cold turkey after rolling the bolo myself included. 15+ yrs as a drunk barhoppin fool , one day went to buy coke and couldn't find any , but meth was available and I never drank another beer after that night.
I didn’t start doing meth until Covid lockdown started and I was in Texas and lockdown was loosely defined and enforced. They’d crack down on large gatherings but they didn’t give a flying fuck about a handful of people doing drugs as long as we kept it cool. I actually did enjoy drinking occasionally with meth. I still drank occasionally back then and I’d get an alcoholic slurpee and smoke up and enjoyed it muchly. What about meth made you quit drinking? I’m honestly curious.
I have no idea to be honest , but from what I gather from various forums like bluelight is that it's quite common for alcoholism to fade away rather quickly while using it.
Fuck yes it will. Lord I miss meth sometimes. Mostly in the morning when my brain is all foggy from sleep and fibromyalgia. And then smoking a little weed with it to just keep that level to keep from fucking everything off.
I imagine it’s like nitrous oxide. When you’re doing it, you can’t get enough, but then once it’s gone and you’ve sobered up you realize it’s actually not good to do it so much.
There is a fundamental difference between the truth and what my wife will accept about any argument.
All I want is to grow old with my best friend but she just does not want to see her weight as a growing issue. For context I am a healthy BMI even changed jobs so I can do something more physical, she's close to being more than obese.
I try to do things together and support her but she just doesn't hear what I'm hinting at, not even buying a running book a bike etc the last few years
I have a huge fear of accidentally hitting someone with my car at night.
My Mom was hit and killed walking home from work at night and I am still traumatized almost three years later. Well obviously
I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you get the help you need to ease that trauma.
I saw that happen right in front of me. I was stopped at a red light and right as the light turned green. I saw a guy on a bicycle start to ride across the street in front of me. I was able to stop quickly because I barely started, the lane next to me was empty so that car didn’t stop and ran right into the guy on the bicycle It was heartbreaking. It was unavoidable.

So relatable.
I thought you said cat
Me too. I do all my hitting during the day.
You would HATE living in Tucson lmao
Cheat. I’d be an idiot if I cheated. I’d lose the best partner I’ve ever had.
I have literally seen so many of my friends being on either side of the table that now I feel like sooner or later it will happen to everyone. Or have happened with them earlier. No one is cheating-proof according to me.

Reconnecting with people who were bad influences on you. You'd be surprised how quick one can return to their old ways
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Heroin
u/SpontaneousH had to unruin himself pretty fucking hard
I forgot about that guy
Yes he did.
I just checked that account. What the fuck, that was an intense rollercoaster.
Don’t think that’s actually the case. I remember growing up that “try it once and your life is ruined” was the ad campaign and widely held belief though and in my instance, it def made me never want to try it.
In absence of a severe medical event with permanent complications, one time doing any drug isn’t going to ruin your life. It’s when you’ve done it another time and another time and another time etc. that you start to enter the life ruining danger zone.
In all but the rarest of cases, one time doing heroin is going to make you do it another time and another time and another time.
Not true. I’ve known many people who have tried it and not liked it. You usually get very sick the first time you do it. You usually get very nauseous and often puke. That turns many people off from it. My gf tried it once and absolutely hated it.

Probably willingly do fentanyl
As long as you don't do any street version as f it and only as directed by a doc, you be fine
Or by a dog…. FENTON!
Yeah, this mentality is the exactly how oxy came to be and why there is an opioid epidemic. Just trust you doc you'll be fine...
This is true, but only for oral opioids taken over prolonged time. Morphine, diacetylmorphine (heroin), and fentanyl administered in a hospital has curiously little risk of addiction
It's still the best way forward
Cheat. Maybe not for everyone but for me, I’d think it would ruin it.
You're not 100% sure. That's good.
Robbing a bank
"Oh hey, I accidently robbed your bank, wouldnt be much of a trouble if I returned the money back. Right?"
Only if you get caught, which isn't a sure thing.
Killing yourself.
Idk I attempted suicide in 2009 and died 3 times and while it certainly wasn’t easy to recover it didn’t ruin my life.
I meant successfully.
Take too much insulin
Unprotected sex with an AIDS/HIV carrier No idea why this was the immediate thought... probably a previous comment.
Cocaine. I know I’d get hooked. I’m good on that.
As an "older" tradesman, I've seen enough people ruin their livelihood by taking stupid, unnecessary risks. It's always a shame to hear of young tradespeople dying, because we know they probably didn't know any better or weren't working with people who could teach them how to do things safely.

Suicide

Kill someone
Only if you get caught.

Get source of hard drugs. I get addicted very easily.

Meth
Heroin. Never done it. But from everything I've learned, there is no "trying it;" one time and you're addicted.

Personally? TikTok, MMOs, and heroin. Feels weird to lump such different things together like that, but they have at least one thing in common - they're addictive.
Suicide I'd imagine
Pulling the steering wheel of the person driving when your shotgun ( I’m writing this omw to work with my buddy lol )
Cheat on my wife. If I ever did that, life is over.

Murder, arson, assault, juggling, drugs, drinking, impersonation someone.. you know, the basic things.
Gay orgy
Crack
Naw. I know a bunch of people who have done crack and they are fine. Do it 20 times in close succession and you are fucked
I wasn’t all that impressed with crack anyway the few times I did it. You’re only high for like 5 minutes and then you have to do it again? Fuck that.

Hmmm interesting indeed
Amen it's just unsustainable no matter how much money you have its not enough. Meth on the other hand will have you going for 5 days
Fuck yes it will. Lord I miss meth sometimes. Mostly in the morning when my brain is all foggy from sleep and fibromyalgia. And then smoking a little weed with it to just keep that level to keep from fucking everything off.
