  That depends on two things.

  The dosage and the person’s tolerance.

  Drugs that are ranked higher for drug addiction typically have strong fast effects and fast loss of the high.

  But all drugs have addiction capabilities because of how tolerance in the body works. Tolerance, withdrawal, addiction. All part of the same process.

  So back to addiction.

  Cocaine. Immediate and intense high. But doesnt last that long. Same for the heroine.

  Drugs like meth and adderall are basically exactly like cocaine in many ways except the high is actually more mild (per dose) and lasts longer.

  Opiate medications can be seen as similar to heroine but. Last longer and not as strong.

  Of course you can take larger doses of either of those two and get a stronger effect.

  Even if you don’t tho, people still get addicted to both of these more milder forms of cocaine and heroine. My just not at the same risk level.

  And the risk declined drastically if taken at therapeutic levels (like following prescription drug directions).

  Another thing you have to consider is genetics in brain receptors.

  Some people’s brain responds strongly in eurphoria to a drug while someone else’s does not.

  For example. Opiates. I personally do not get euphoria from opiates. I instead get a bad headache and extreme nausea. I had an injection of morphine about a year ago for a ER visit. Not only did it not help the pain at all, I had unpleasant effects from the drug. I was not high. But I was woozy. It was incredibly awful.

  I actually told them not to give me optiates because I already knew I didn’t tolerate them but that’s what I get for going to a 1 star ER.

  So how is it possible that a drug like an opiate wouldn’t make me high or at the very least block the pain I was having ?

  Genetics. My mother is the same. The part of other peoples brain that the opiate drugs bind to, will not accept the drug in my brain. Instead the drug is binding to some other receptors. Starting a cascade of signals that give me delirium, nausea, and a headache.

  They are different enough to make a drug have a completely different effect in two animals of the same species.

  It’s things like that, that make designing drug therapies incredibly difficult.

  So even when we try to give a basis run down of what drugs are highest risk, we can’t say that’s true for everyone.

  There is zero chance I could become addicted to opiate based drugs. They literally are aversive to me.

  It also means if I get injured and I’m in severe pain, there isn’t much that can be done (so pretty big trade off. Here’s hoping I don’t get a painful terminal cancer).

  So at present. Schedule 1 drugs have a specific definition. And that definition indicates a high risk of dependency.

  You can read up more about how a drug qualifies for schedule 1. And schedule 2. I think that will help you understand the system better.

  I kept dying. And I couldn’t figure out how anyone dies in a narrative game. I couldn’t really figure out how to play the game and gave up after dying 2x in the same conversation.

  I’m still so confused how one dies from conversation.

  Instead I watched a video about the game.

  I play a lot of games but nothing like this one. I wanted to like it but I’m too dumb to figure out the mechanics. And I even tried watching videos and found them convoluted and confusing.

  Meh.

  Loved the art style tho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I really liked and the story. But after taking a year break and then playing the dlc phantom liberty. I kinda was over it. Just felt like work. Not really fun.

  So idk. Maybe you just have to be in the right mood for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well just fyi. The end missions are currently, still today, broke. So only one ending available that is regardless of whatever choices you made.

  I loved the first one. I like this one but they made some bad changes.

  But mostly they need to fix the mission bugs.

  First one you could change the armor and weapons on the companions.

  Also I really liked the vicar and Parvati. Vicar was like a snarky gay guy and I loved it. I will admit the other 3 were blah. But the new companions on OW2 are kinda bland.

  I don’t really like any of them. Niles and inza had potential but wasn’t developed.

  And I straight up dislike Tristan’s personality. He’s just awful.

  Aza can be entertaining. If they made her more impulsive I think that could have been fun.
  For instance if you take too long in negotiations and shes present. She just starts attacking people after some time limit.

  Or randomly attacks strangers she doesn’t like the look of.

  They could have done something interesting with her.

  But mostly they need to fix the damn quest bugs so I can finish the game.

  Well maybe have that info in the screen shot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good way to relate to your school teacher⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a woman. I don’t wear makeup and I’ll tell you why. I have a lot of reasons.

  1. I’m too lazy. (Meme applies). This is infact my number 1 reason. To be honest.

  2. I don’t feel other people deserve for me to get dolled up for them. (I occasionally wear eye makeup when meeting up with my bestie gals, even just hanging out at their house and I loudly proclaim I got dolled up and shaved my legs for them).

  3. As I’m getting older, I suspect that if people get used to seeing me with makeup, then when I don’t wear it, they will think I look like shit that day. And I want people to know this is what I look like all the time. So no better face to downward compare my regular face to.

  4. I seem to have built up a mild allergy to foundation makeup over the years without realizing it (since I don’t wear makeup) and now I can’t really wear it. At least not the kind I have. I do occasionally wear makeup to comic con for a costume or a rocky horror show. So that’s how I realized I’m now allergic to foundation. But again those are special situations. Probably some out there I’m not allergic too but refer back to reason #1 as to why I haven’t sought it out.

  5. As a feminist. Who has 3 nieces. I want them to see that it’s normal for a woman to not wear makeup. Idk if they get it.

  6. I think I’m decent looking and I don’t need it anyway. As I’m getting older I still think that. My face is mine. It’s not a bad face. It changes with time. As it should. I don’t think aging makes someone ugly. Just different. And ive had that opinion for as long as I can remember so as a woman and aging, I’m not as anxious about “losing my looks”.

  These drugs release endorphins not dopamine.

  Dopamine is not a feel-good neurotransmitter.

  It’s widely misunderstood and misapplied.

  Yeah I had a dental implant I paid almost 3k for, with insurance, about 10 years ago. It recently came loose. I don’t have dental insurance, only medical.

  I had to pay 2k to have it removed.

  5k for a temporary tooth.

  Welp.

  Idk I think it was just some archeologist. I have a DVD of the series becoming human. You can’t find it online anymore. I’ll have to give it a fresh watch and see if it’s from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3D design software for 3d printing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hadn’t heard of this. I’ll check it out. Fusion has been a bit intimidating. Ive made a few things in it but found it confusing and but intuitive like tinkercad.

  I think Ive spent all my energy on learning Blender and not much left to dedicate to a better CAD program.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3D design software for 3d printing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sculpting. Yeah that requires a high end PC.

  I have a 12g GPU. 64gb ram. Ddr5. Ryzen 7 CPU.

  And it still struggles some times, mostly when using the bolean modifer (the one that combines parts or makes cutouts). Which is something you will use a lot for 3d printing model design.

  If you aren’t sculpting, but just cad stuff. You should use a different program.

  Blender can do some of that but why not use a software designed for cad. ?

  Blender isn’t a cad program.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meanwhile, on Facebook⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk I watched some documentary about human history. one thing I recall was that they talked about how people used to die a lot from dental issues. They had old like 5000 year old skulls and was pointing out how some teenager likely died from a bad molar due to the damage on the jaw.

  They thing I remember mostly is that they said that modern dentistry had done more to extend human life span than general modern medicine. Because of teeth being so close to the brain, blood infections and abscesses could potentially get through the sinuses and kill people.

  Wish I could remember the source material better.

  It’s possible it was from the PBS series “becoming human”.

  That’s my best guess. But yeah. Dental stuff. Dangerous.

  Start with tinkercad. Upgrade to fusion 360. For sculpting , blender.

  To use blender you need a high end PC. Like a gaming PC.

  Fusion and blender are both incredibly complex softwares that do a lot of things and take a lot of invested time to learn but there are tons of tutorial videos and online communities for both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is inssein⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe endorsement a felon who has bankrupted 8 companies and helping to put him in charge of a country’s economic system was a bad play.

  Who could have guessed?

  I mean. Cause you know. Unions. Way worse.
  Can’t be having workers petition for their own value.
  Nope.

  Best to have a president who will help eliminate unions. Even if that means the company disappears.

  Okay so similar. Apartment complex. Beep was coming from somewhere outside. Me and a few other tenants could never figure it out. Walked around parking lot.

  Sounded like it was elevated .but maybe the sound was just bouncing around between buildings.

  Yeah it would beep like once every 30 min.
  Insane in the summer when you wanted to have the window open.

  I did eventually learn a manual.

  Pretty sure fake cheese is made with vegetable oil, no?

  Also the other day I bought a small block of kraft brand Colby cheese. A little treat for myself.

  I always buy whichever brand is on sale. I’m not a cheese snob or anything.

  Anywho. I got it out to eat it.

  It’s super soft. Like. … well like fake cheese. Just like their kraft singles.

  Floppy oily yellow cheese.

  I got swindled. It says it’s Colby. But it’s not ! It’s the fake cheese !

  Not happy. Won’t ever buy it ever again.

  They just started doing this. It was real cheese not that long ago. I suspect it’s been “cut,” with fake cheese.

  Like it’s not 100% fake cheese. But like 60% fake cheese.

  I checked packaging to make sure I just didn’t buy the wrong stuff. Nope. It definitely says Colby cheese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great Depression: Part Deux⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A box meal. Like a cake mix. It comes with parts of the meal, the pasta and the sauce, and you add the meat and milk, water, butter. Whatever else it calls for. These are cheap. And don’t take very long to make.

  They are mostly eaten by poor people and kids. They have very little nutritional value and are high in carbs, sugar, and salt.

  The high carbs and protein (if you are rich enough to add meat) make the food very filling though. Some people call this type of food “comfort food”. It definitely will make your stomach feel full and content.

  But it’s not good food for you.
