I go to the doctor a lot. I'm not young but most of the patients my doctor sees are probably around twice my age ... And they love to gossip. As I live in a small town, they all seem to know each other, too. The most recent time I went there, a small gaggle of seniors were gathered in the room bragging to each other about their stereotypical old person injuries.

One of the first times I was at the office of the particular doctor in question, there were three older ladies chatting in the waiting area. They were specifically discussing their plans once their (presumably similarly aged) husbands died.

I don't remember what the other two said, but one of the women declared that she had a cache of drugs stashed and planned to take all of them.

Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?

Are drug dealers actually colouring meth blue to cash in on the popularity of Breaking Bad? As far as I know the show just made it up and real meth is never blue.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 28 points 1 day ago

rich white kids expect street drugs to look how they saw it on TV. it's easier to add food coloring and close a sale than to explain you're not shorting them, they just don't know shit about fuck.

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 14 points 1 day ago

The show has an explanation for the color tbh, it's because they can't get their hands on the perfect ingredients and what they manage to get has dye on it. Becomes branding later on

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I know, what I'm saying is that explanation is fictional. It wouldn't be blue anyway in real life. The ingredient they used wasn't claimed to be dyed, the show just invented fictional chemistry that makes it blue.

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

You are claiming breaking bad made up that old school biker meth bit?

Because their other stuff is all real. The mylar baloons, the battery with an aluminum wiper across the terminals.

Maybe you just are not familiar with the chemistry in that old school formulation where the ingredient became controlled so it was no longer used?

I would remind you as to the enshitiffication of the internet, and bad results being put forward on search engines. Google is not the arbiter of knowledge.

I'm pretty sure that they purposely explained their synthesis wrong so as to not give everyone watching a step by step process for creating meth.

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 hours ago

They never gave the full process, and other dangerous things were real, as is typical, even in like Burn Notice, they just didn't give a full picture, but they didn't lie.

Like the Mylar Balloons Mike releases that drift into the power lines and short out the wires, that's real. That is when the cartel sends dudes to kill gus and mike kills them in one of the later seasons.

The blue color part of it, yes.

Because their other stuff is all real.

Yeah, not sure how that connects to the blue color, what do you mean?

Maybe you just are not familiar with the chemistry in that old school formulation where the ingredient became controlled so it was no longer used?

I sure aren't, I'm just repeating what the showrunners said, the show creators said they made it up as a plot device.

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Huh I will have to look it up I don't disbelieve you I suppose I don't know much about cooking meth admittedly.

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Is metal health by buckethead and bootsy a cover?! Ill hafta check that song out.

[-] CPMSP@midwest.social 3 points 23 hours ago

Bang your head!

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Well, bootsy and bucket def just named their song the same thing, not a cover lol

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 27 points 1 day ago

my goal is to do this but with LSD instead :)

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

It was the same idea of Aldous Huxley, writer of 'brave new world' and 'doors of perception'.

Huxley made a written request to his wife Laura for "LSD, 100 μg, intramuscular." According to her account of his death[107] in This Timeless Moment, she obliged with an injection at 11:20 am and a second dose an hour later; Huxley died aged 69, at 5:20 pm PST on 22 November 1963.[108]

Basically no one remembers his passing, though, look at the date. JFK was assassinated on the same day Huxley left the mortal plane on a trip, so the news was completely snowed under.

[-] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Never knew they died on the same day. That's interesting enough as a standalone fact, but also given the JFK and Timothy Leary connection.

We always hear about Marilyn and JFK, but it seems like Mary Pinchot tends to get swept under the rug.

She was an artist and the ex-wife of a CIA big wig who had an affair with JFK. She almost certainly smoked weed with him at the White House, and her friend Timothy Leary (along with the CIA's counterintelligence chief, James Angleton) claimed she also got JFK to take acid at one point.

JFK actually taking acid is unverified, but Leary alleged that Pinchot's influence on JFK was making him less willing to back war hungry policies of some very powerful men in the U.S. government, and that as a result, he became a bit of a thorn in their side. He also claimed that the day JFK was assassinated, Pinchot called him and said "he was changing too quickly."

About a year after JFK's assassination, Pinchot was killed in a still unsolved murder, and shortly after her murder, her sister and brother in law claimed they found James Angleton breaking into her home to steal her diary.

Are you saying that Aldous Huxley killed JFK?

Finally, I've been vindicated!

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 2 hours ago

It’s not a conspiracy if it’s true yo

[-] egrets@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

if ever by some unlucky chance such a crevice of time should yawn in the solid substance of their distractions, there is always soma, delicious soma, half a gramme for a half-holiday, a gramme for a week-end, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon.

[-] Lag@piefed.world 8 points 1 day ago

Sounds too stressful and too thoughtful. Smooth brain happy.

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ok, so anyone terminal, why not do some good on your way out? There are a lot of, uh, wrongs, that could be avenged. Obviously you would have to be smart enough not to be tooled by a malicious person to target the wrong things.

But think about all of these, can I say, uh, mario brothers type targets? Can't go wrong there.

Go out in a blaze of glory, you will be remembered as a saint and hero.

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 4 points 12 hours ago

I don't know anyone terminal currently, but the guaranteed imminently terminal patients I've known were pretty much unable to leave their beds, regardless of how they may or may not have acted if they were ambulatory.

[-] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago

A nice way to go.

My way of doing it: build a large catapult at the edge of a cliff to the ocean. Take loads of heroin just so I don’t overdose. Get on the catapult and shoot myself into the ocean.

[-] Themosthighstrange@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Sounds good until you find out both are in their thirties

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

If she was terminally ill as the titles says, sounds good no matter 30 or 80

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Little known fact: the music was GWAR.

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

The hardest part would be deciding which gwar songs. Probably just put Scumbdogs of the Universe and America Must be Destroyed on repeat.

[-] ferrule@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

What, not their cover of Pink Pony Club??? 😈

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

It's absolutely a solid cover as are their others, but I wouldn't want to be blasting it on my deathbed.
