Keep defending being a recovering gas station meth addict, dude

We are all proud of you!

quote:

I would repeat myself for a 4th time to you but you're either so incomprehensibly dense that it isn't getting through, or you're willfully ignoring me, so I'll just leave it be.




You admitted you used to do Kratom, dumbass

An addict can be in recovery and still be an addict.

I hope you continue in your recovery, though.

Stay away from the gas station meth!


ETA: The only thing trashier than actual meth is gas station meth
quote:

guess mountain dew and donuts shoudl be outlawed as well too since they'are also addicting



Spoken like a true addict defending his drug of choice


It's so pointless to argue with addicts. Thanks for the reminder


Louisiana banned Kratom last year so not sure how these scumbags were still selling it

quote:

The state passed Senate Bill 154 (Act No. 41), which officially went into effect on August 1, 2025. The law added kratom's primary active alkaloids (mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine) to the state's Schedule I controlled substances list, making it entirely illegal to produce, distribute, or possess anywhere in the state.



quote:

The law also prohibits any businesses licensed by the Louisiana Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) from selling or even storing kratom products on their premises.
quote:

There are real, actual companies that sell it. Buy their product.



Have you tried not being an addict?
quote:

People have zero clue whatsoever what kratom is until they first heard about it 3 weeks ago,



No one just heard of it 3 weeks ago. Its been around forever

quote:

now all of a sudden it's a killer and a plague on society and should be outlawed.


You think it's a safe product? lol.

You should get help with your addiction

quote:

In reality the real issue is these foreign gas station fricks that are making up their own product and selling it illegally. Kratom's got nothing to do with it. Like if I invented my own whiskey in my bathtub and someone drank it and got alcohol poisoning i doubt anyone on this board would be trying to outlaw woodford reserve.



What a horrible comparison. Kratom is an addictive product the same as an opioid no matter who manufactures it

When you get that fresh zip locked bag and scoop a big scoop into your morning water, does it matter if it was made by Muhammed or some sketchy factory like all gas station meth is made by? No. You're still an addict looking for your fix, defending what is a poor man's meth then have the nerve to act like you are the sophisticated one vs those of us pointing out you are an addict.
quote:

But kratom is a real, actual plant that is manuractured/packaged/sold by reputable known companies all over the country.



So because it comes from a plant, it can't be addictive or bad for you

Source...Opium Poppy, Coca plant, Peyote cactus, etc

There's a reason Kratom is called gas station meth. It acts on the opioid receptors in your brain and has the same addictive traits as opioids including cravings, dependence, etc

Stop defending it and acting like its a safe over the counter drug like Aspirin or something.
quote:

do you know anything at all about kratom?


I always lol seeing Kratom addicts defend it
I got the flu last week on vacation. Started Saturday and the worst day was Sunday when we got home. Outside of not being able to eat unitl today, I could still halfway function after about day 4 but I was very weak from no food. Today I am still weak and am finally able to eat

Perhaps the worst flu I have ever had and it still only lasted 7 days

My wife got it a day after me and she went and got a steroid shot and recovered quicker than I did. I will be doing that next time.

What a stunning set of mistakes by ABC News.

They confused the total size of an investment round in Anduril with a small level of secondary participation in that round by the venture capital fund in which Donald Trump Jr. is a partner (1789 Capital).

Further, they created a false quid pro quo narrative that somehow that investment by 1789 Capital has directly resulted in DoW contracts for Anduril.

Anduril has been around since 2017 and is a global leader in defense autonomous systems. It has been receiving significant defense contracts under both the Biden and Trump Administrations for quite some time now.

As a Silicon Valley VC attorney myself, I assure you that the only way to make such mistakes is deliberate sloppiness through a prism of TDS hate. The facts here could have been easily checked both through public securities law filings and by just asking Anduril!

A rational reporter with rational editors would never have made such grievous errors.

Were they intentional errors? Perhaps.

OP wont be back to this thread

@ABC
is refusing to correct this lie. @ByNathanLee's "analysis" is totally bogus, and he knows it, because Anduril provided him with the actual numbers - 1789 Capital has only invested a total of $50M in Anduril, and this so-called "major stake" is about 1/1000th of the company.

The claim of $6B+ in "active or promised government contracts" is also a lie. Most of that amount is in hypothetical contract ceilings, which are (by design) larger than the government or the contractor expect to transact.

The problem for Nathan and ABC, which they also know, is that a bunch of people, including the Governor, assumed they were telling the truth and acted on it. Admitting they got this wrong would make a legal judgement against them trivially easy. And so they lie.

"While some homeowners are still facing financial challenges, overall foreclosure volumes remain well below historical norms and the broader housing market continues to demonstrate resilience."



ATTOM is very good but this statement is sort of laughable when you realize that they only started tracking foreclosure data the way they do in 2005 so his historical norms are 21 years worth of data

The other big one, Cotality formerly named CoreLogic, started in 1997 so 29 years of data

Data prior to that is largely estimates

how close are we to 2008?



Completely different circumstances

2008 was a complete crash 30 years in the making

2026 is a frozen market that will catch some people who have fallen behind, gotten divorced, etc who need a quick sale but have no equity to come down on their asking price

It was like a 40-year-old trailer set up in a park

Pj had a sapling fall on his trailer and years later he describes it as a huge tree falling through his house



He posted pics. It destroyed his house and he lost everything

It was also confirmed by other TD members

Pretty shitty of you to lie about that
