    Magic, cause I'm so mature and cool /7thgrade.

    I'd play Pokemon if I knew anyone else who played. Hell, I play Yugioh on occasion, and that game's broke as hell.

    Shoulda bought a double AC, then!

    VickySmugEating_zps154fd12c.png


    For reals tho, a double is kind of an expensive impulse buy, and a regular 12 hole is a good way to see if you really like the instrument or if it's not really for you. If you have a lot of fun with it, then definitely get a double.

    Hell, a triple is pretty good if you can afford it.

    I can't... :(

    edit: just realized i misread what you were saying. :P

    Just spent $200 for a groupon of 3 laser hair removal sessions. Probably should have waited till the end of the month and I have more money but ehh. Need to get rid of the gross boy hair. Luckily I'm mostly hairless and smooth.

    I "spent" $6,500 on classes earlier this week when I enrolled

    But its ok! My pell grant for next year increased by $1,500!

    Thanks Obama

    Soon as my taxes are in I'm putting almost all of it straight into the personal loan for the truck I bought from the folks. It'll leave me with like 200 dollars left to pay, which even with my terrible hours will be feasible in one or two months. Going to be fucking amazing not to have to drive 40 minutes every month to pay a bill. Credit unions can be amazing but not when their website is unable to link two bank accounts together.

    And a small portion of my taxes is going to gas for a trip to see out of town friends, for the first time in over a year! Can't waaaait.

    I was going to spend 560 dollars on a 2560x1440 monitor.
    There is this place in town that you go up some escalators and then there are probably 30 different claw machines. Then a maze of little alleyways in the mall that are only computer parts stores.
    The only one with the model I want was closed. It was the only closed store.

    Well I haven't really spent that much lately because I've been too busy trying not to die in my first semester of university

    I did buy a mouse at a retail store today instead of from the internet because I broke the buttons in my old one.
    Found out they use shitty switches in all of the buttons on the old one, most people at least use good ones for m1/m2. Broke m2. Gonna tear it apart and maybe replace the switches with nicer ones because I prefer the mouse overall.

    I spent 1800 on two weeks accommodation for my parents and brother fit when they're here for the wedding. Plus 200 on securing the catering. And then about 300 on random clothes and new shoes.

    I rarely buy new clothing for myself. The newest piece I have I'm currently wearing, actually; a MUSE hoody from when they came to town this year. It was p expensive, but makes up for it by being super comfy.

    Could wear this every day not even joking.

    Looking up that post i discovered 3 things

    1. Dare's kid's website hasnt been updated since 1996

    2. The material you learn is rather confusing, and I remember this as a 10 year old. I was confused most of the time during dare.

    Little did i know how fucking awesome hallucinogenics are

    3. Dare trains you to act like a guy who could really use a bowl

    ShortyRuby RhodAntimatterT4CT
  • cabsycabsy the fattest rainbow unicorn Registered User regular
    On the bright side DARE also trained you to know what a bowl looks like, where you can find one, and failing that how to find other, more interesting drugs which is why DARE is no longer a thing

  • Drew-BDrew-B Registered User regular
    Wait, what was confusing about dare? I just remember it was basically, "Don't take drugs. If people ask you to take drugs, don't."

    Wait, what was confusing about dare? I just remember it was basically, "Don't take drugs. If people ask you to take drugs, don't."

    What was confusing to me was I knew literally no person my age that smoked or did drugs as a 5th grader, so it did not make sense yet to me why anyone would do these things

    The "just say no" part was pretty straight forward, if not poorly written by some parent. But then they started in on all the types of drugs and those were some pretty big words to digest
    MDMA: - methlenedioxymethamphetamine - Ecstasy, X, XTC, Adam, Clarity, Peace, Lover's Speed, Eve
    Similar to the stimulant methamphetamine and the hallucinogen mescaline, MDMA is usually taken orally as a tablet. It causes increased heart rate and blood pressure, and may lead to an elevation of body temperature that causes kidney and cardiovascular failure. When combined with alcohol, MDMA can be extremely dangerous, sometimes fatal. MDMA may lead to dehydration, hypertension, heart or kidney failure, seizures, stroke, memory impairment, and produce long-lasting neurotoxic effects in the brain.

    • GHB: - gamma-hydroxbutyrate - Liquid Ecstasy, Georgia Home Boy, G, Grievous Bodily Harm
    A clear odorless liquid, GHB is a central nervous system depressant and has been associated with poisonings, overdoses, and date rape. It can slow breathing and heart rate to dangerous levels. GHB overdose can occur rather quickly and lead rapidly to loss of consciousness, coma, and death. The purity and strength of individual doses of the drug can vary greatly, making overdoses likely.

    • Ketamine: - K, Special K, Vitamin K, Cat Valium
    Karamine is primarily a veterinary anesthetic that produces dissociative dream-like or hallucinatory effects similar to phencyclidine (PCP). The drug is used as a liquid applied to marijuana or tobacco products, or as a white powder that is snorted like cocaine, or it can be injected. Ketamine can produce delirium, amnesia, impaired motor function, high blood pressure, depression, and potentially fatal respiratory effects. It can also result in impaired attention, learning ability and memory.

    • Rohypnol: - flunitrazepam - Roofies, Rophie, Roche, Forget-me
    benzodiazepine sedative similar to Valium and Xanax, flunitrazepam is not approved for prescription use in the US. The drug is taken orally in tablet form, dissolved in beverage, or ground up and snorted. Because the drug is odorless and tasteless and produces profound "anterograde amnesia," it can be administered to a person without his or her knowledge and has been associated with date rape and other sexual assaults. Other effects include decreased blood pressure, drowsiness, visual disturbances, dizziness, confusion, gastrointestinal disturbances and urinary retention.

    • Methamphetamine: - Meth, Speed, Ice, Glass, Crystal, Crank, GoFast, Chalk, Fire
    Methamphetamine, an odorless white crystalline powder, affects many areas of the central nervous system. It is a highly addictive stimulant that can be snorted, smoked, injected, taken orally, or dissolved in beverages. The drug produces increased levels of activity, agitation, excited speech, and decreased appetite. Methamphetamine is a neurotoxin associated with serious long-lasting effects on the dopamine transporter system as well as with other dangerous health effects including aggression, violence, memory loss, psychotic behavior and cardiac damage.

    • Lysergic Acid Diethylamide: - LSD, Acid, Blotter, Cubes, Dots, L, Microdot, Sugar, Yellow Sunshines, Boomers
    LSD is a powerful hallucinogen that is taken orally, usually on squares of blotter paper, sugar cubes, or pills that have absorbed the liquid drug. The drug produces profound and unpredictable abnormalities in sensory perception, including distortions of sound and sight, and emotional effects that create rapid mood swings ranging from intense fear to euphoria. Physical effects include higher body temperature, increased heart rate and blood pressure, sweating, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, dry mouth, tremors, nausea, numbness and weakness. Long-term disorders associated with LSD are persistent psychosis and hallucinogen persisting perception disorder ("flashbacks").

    That's directly from their website, and for a 5th grader thats some pretty high level vocabulary

    When you present a 10 year old tugboat just the bad parts of drugs to when I have no idea of the concept of being high, it confused me because I saw no reason for anyone to do drugs, yet they still did. It sort of piqued my interest, but I did not do drugs or even drink until my senior year of high school, and even then it was rare.
