Why sad? You got a better idea? Smoking, drinking and fucking... why not?

reply

[–] chilone (17262) 4 years ago

Lots of way better, more productive things to do. Behaving like an animal will get you nowhere.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Oh it’s got me plenty of places! Don’t knock it til you try it “chilone”.

reply

[–] chilone (17262) 4 years ago

I've done it quite extensively and you know where it got me and all the alcoholics and drug addicts I did it with, without fail? Exactly nowhere (at best). Some of them didn't survive

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

True that. Lots of dead friends myself. But I’m still kickin and it’s been a fun fucking ride!

reply

[–] chilone (17262) 4 years ago

Well good luck and be careful. Look down the long road.

Thanks bud

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I guess it comes down to s it better to burn out or fade away?

reply

[–] chilone (17262) 4 years ago

The older one gets, fading away becomes more and more attractive.

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Maybe someday. I still got that lust for life in me.

reply

[–] chilone (17262) 4 years ago

Dude! I totally have a lust for life. I'm not super old, btw. The truth is, after I gave up all the bad shit in my life, my lust for life increased dramatically which is why I said fading away is cool. To me burning out is dying young. No thanks. Imma milk this cow for all she's got!!

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I like your philosophy. That works too!

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Admittedly have dabbled in shit that has put me on a dark path, but managed to acknowledge it and get out. But smoking some herb?Its just good for my soul.

reply

[–] chilone (17262) 4 years ago

I try not to generalize too much but pretty much all of the pot heads I know have little to no ambition and are for the most part, at a stand still in life.

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Dude, you know all the wrong potheads. We’re a fun and peaceful bunch! Ambition for what?

reply

[–] chilone (17262) 4 years ago

Lol. Talking to people who are high or drunk is like talking to a bunch of chimpanzees! If you're drunk or high it can be '"fun", I guess but you're literally shutting down your higher brain functions which make even stupidity "fun". People who are not in this state, generally don't enjoy herding cats.

Ambition? I dunno. To be a productive, self sufficient member of society?

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Whosays I’m not?Also, I hate cats.

reply

[–] chilone (17262) 4 years ago

I didn't say you're not. Are you? Cats are kick ass little savages, by the way!

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Definitely savage. I like my chill dog.

There's videos of chimps smoking and animals in Africa getting drunk on fallen, fermented fruit.

You seen the videos of deer tripping on shrooms? They love um!

Alcohol is too strong of drug.

It just dehydrates me and the hang overs are deadly

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Naturally.

The number of people smoking and drinking hasn't increased, just the time that the existing smokers and drinkers have to partake.

To me it's sadder that people choose to look down their noses at others during such a hard time. I hope everyone does anything they can to prevent themselves from going completely around the bend with so many restrictions on their personal liberties. Anything that keeps people mellow in a situation that breeds such frustration is not something I would choose to condemn right now.

So you feel that intoxicating yourself is the way to go? Oy... And by the way, smoking has become more dangerous than ever. It will increase the risk of you becoming really sick, if you catch the virus.

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

If that's what I felt I would have said that.

To rephrase so you might understand, I choose not to judge how others cope with isolation.

You're right, smoking will likely impede your recovery if you contract the virus. At this stage there is only limited data to suggest that smokers have worse outcomes from COVID-19, but smokers suffer worse from all forms of respiratory disease so it's logical to assume it would be no different.

[–] chilone (17262) 4 years ago

Alcohol also compromises your immune system.

[–] sslssg (27651) 4 years ago

I rarely, and I mean rarely drink, but the last couple of saturdays while partaking on our weekly zoom pub quiz /party game sessions I've been having a couple. I'm not going anywhere, why not have a drink?
