Take Two strikes again

The games industry as a whole is collapsing.

It allows scammers to scam people.

I haven't seen him post on CE since he is no longer suspended.

Casted?

@monolith1676

How do you feel about the Sackler family?

Not good people.

From what I understand when you get suspended you lose access to the board.

Final bump

The game industry is just falling apart at the seams.

You can decriminalize possession for personal use while still banning supply, and in the case of hard drugs like fentanyl I'd say that's the way to go. (Softer shit like weed should just be straight up legalized.)

Oregon tried and are now having to backpedal on that decision.

The weirdest part is I never said anything about decriminalization.

I said when people started going soft on drug crimes deaths went upwards and you asked for proof. So when going soft on drugs and decriminalization hit their stride I provided you proof.

Narcan is effective for fentanyl overdoses, it's the best option.

No no, bad user.

Get some actual stats or find a better gimmick, nobody cares about your anecdotal correlation.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db457.htm

People started pushing for decriminalization towards the beginning of the decade and decriminalization started happening in 2021 when death rates started to climb even higher.

decriminalization is needed. Addicts often are working people, who cant stop because they are holding family together.

fent is the new crack.

That doesn't work as Oregon has experienced.

DrizztLink posted...

Looks like we need to expand Narcan training and get some harm reduction in place.

Wouldn't you agree, @Monolith1676 ?

You've spent so much time posting about drugs, surely you're familiar with the literature showing how much more effective harm reduction is compared to the punitive system.

We can try it that way but it seems since laws have softened up on drugs the deaths started to spiral upwards.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/injury.htm

Something needs to be done about all three. Overdose deaths seem to be on the rise and only seems to be getting worse.

Floridas is worse man

They are both the bad parts of their respective coasts.

Technically GFaqs has historically been worth much more than 2 mil, but I doubt it has a growing revenue. They get a lot more from ads, if some revenue tracking sites are to be believed.

But there's probably a reason SBAllen stuck around with it for so long, and he's probably quit out of not wanting to manage it anymore, not because the site was a money sink.

Anyways, the best owner has to be SBAllen. They rolled back on a lot of nonsense during his reign

SBAllen wasn't an owner, he just managed the site.

Smaller companies but two more to add to the growing exodus of insurance companies.

Also known as a Tesla fire.

If they are expecting huge tax revenue they should think again.

Of course. You must follow your program

Then you and others will follow yours and complain about the topic and we will go in the cyclical nature of the board.

Here in the Golden State.

We are not even into summer yet and gas is on the verge of $6/gal.

Because the lunatic who shot the woman with easy access to guns was.

The scammer was bad. The gun nut was worse.

How is he a lunatic? He is an 85 year old man who was just told someone was going to his house to kill him. The scammer who set all these events into motion is the scum in this situation. Hopefully they can find the person and charge them.

Aloc posted...

You know the scammer wasn't the main problem.

How is the scammer who caused this not the main problem?

I absolutely detest scammers. RIP to the lady.

Sorry for your loss.

It's Fentanyl, and should be banned permanently.

It is MUCH more powerful, can be laced with any other powder (IE:Coke) and the end user would not even know it was in there.

Even worse, it CAN be absorbed through the skin.

Yea it is not something to be taken lightly at all.

Bump

Damn this game gonna bring back Hella memories. Last one I played was Brotherhood. But %100 completed first original 2.

Since the game is so different than it used to be, it won't bring back many memories.

I believe this is the first time ever that overdose deaths happened more than gun deaths and car accidents combined.

I am seeing a ton of expensive haircuts.

I didn't have WW3 on my 2024 bingo card.

AEW is a sloppy shop with wrestlers getting injured, a pin occurring but the ref messing up the pin, the wrestler doing another move on the injured wrestler then the ref counting the pin.

PerseusRad posted...

Im kind of curious what the numbers are of people who were taking things that are/were inherently risky, versus those taking safe drugs that were laced with something else.

That would be very interesting.

https://www.npr.org/2023/12/28/1220881380/overdose-fentanyl-drugs-addiction

That is an insane number. I am afraid of what this years number will be.

The Supercuts I go to is $27. I have gone there for 14 years and when I started going here the price was $15.

I was never hugely into GT, but I remember one had Oh Yeah by Yello and Turbo Lover by Judas Priest and I was happy with that.

That was 3.

Gran Turismo never had a really good soundtrack IMO.
The menu themes are fine, but I always have the in-race music disabled because I'm not a fan of remixes of 70s funk being followed by lame 2000s mainstream alt-rock being followed by leisurely classical music being followed by 1980s hair metal.

I always loved 2 and 3's the best.

Great game but that soundtrack is just beyond weak.

I went to a small chain here, Super Duper Burgers, figuring if I'm going to pay a lot for fast food it might as well be high quality.

It was, but I wasn't expecting it to be expensive AND small. The burger was puny and I wasn't full after the burger and garlic fries.

Heard the same thing about Big Macs, that they're tiny now.

Sizes have gone down across the board. Carls Jr/Hardees larges are now the size of what mediums used to be.

There isn't a nationwide Fast Food Company that raises prices for everybody. Maybe Starbucks did but that is just one company.

It was the minimum wage increase in California.

Gwynevere posted...

Shit's been expensive for years now, even in bumfuck nowhere. Where have you been?

Yeah it has been but there was another increase in price on April 1st.

Sushi is a HUGE no go during pregnancy.

I go to Starbucks once a week and get the same drink and before the 1st it was $6.45 and now it is $6.95. Haven't gone anywhere else to notice a difference.

$5.89 for premium here in Sacramento.

$6.05 now.
