It is designed to make us #addicted
Our #society is not a cosy place
#capitalism is not cuddly
But with #digitalization & #gamification it developed tools to let us forget our dreadful situations
And find good feelings, wonderful hormone kicks provided by machines
We are a society #addicts
Addicted to machines
#cybernetics works with the myth of "machines full of grace" & its theoretical offsprings like #transhumanism are deeply #religious
#Addicts blame everything but their #addiction as they pull the roof down on top of their heads.
Anyone still capable of denying our #capitalist consumer culture is destroying the habitability of our #childrens' #planet is, in short, an addict incapable of admitting to their #disease.

Dear Sec. Kennedy: the same #addiction #recovery program that saved your life, saved my life. I believe it works for #addicts like you & me #addicted to #addictive substances. You know what else saved my life? #SSRI. Study after study shows they are not addictive & have prevented countless deaths.
I've never seen #religion be a good thing when helping #addicts and those struggling with #mentalhealth.
A mental hospital sent me to a transitional living home that was religious cuz I had no where else, and neither did they, and this place took ALL of my #foodstamps and GR money as rent, fed me PB&Js, then kicked me out for 3 days when I forgot to go to #church Sunday.
The preacher sure did have a nice BMW. Very #godly to have while 20 men in your house starve.

#Drugcrisis deepens our #economic woes
"urine testing suggests tt actual number of #amphetamine users cld exceed 5 million, or 7.6% of population. With the cost of an amphetamine tablet ~30 baht, drugs hv become increasingly accessible to low-income earners, driving the # of users even higher. >95% of #drugaddicts in #Thailand r btw 15-59 yrs old.. Alarmingly, #government lacks baseline data on number of #drug #addicts, as no statistics r available fr any official agency"

No #government agency — despite many spending billions and billions of dollars — has changed any aspect of the illegal drug trade besides punishing #addicts or shifting distribution to #cartels.
And yet, they keep the same enforcement process, still spend #taxpayer dollars, and celebrate the most low level busts — it’s comical.
What a waste of taxpayer #money.
Money which would better spent helping people who suffer from #addiction.
Fantastic. Inspirational, that MD introduced a bill to make this easier. Cautionary, that insurance companies haven't heard of these. GOOD NEWS STORY will send you into the weekend w/ a smile.

It is basically a very sophisticated version of an AA #support #group without god or guilt.
For whom?
Artists, atheists, sex workers, everyone who has any kind of #addiction issues and especially those who don’t find traditional support groups helpful for them.
The main goal is to put an end to the hopeless cycle of making money with money for money’s sake, but this is a long-term endeavor.
So we can start by #supporting the most #vulnerable ones: #artists and #addicts. Sometimes these groups intersect for whatever reason.

Half past midnight. She enters work at 9. I wonder where she is. Who she is with - probably other #addicts, or just enablers. They know she is always at the bar. They must have noticed she has a #drinking problem, but they continue drinking with her. I'm angry and sad. She hasn't even had dinner, even though I cooked before she arrived. This neighborhood is dangerous at night. I can't stop worrying.
