I had 3 coworkers who were chased and threatened on different occasions, luckily nobody was harmed. One barely made it into the building before the guy chasing him could reach him. He quit like a month later, sucks. It is a sanitary and public safety hazard for sure. Everyone on all sides here just loses. Except for the dealers and manufacturers I guess?
Yeah that’s another part of it. It seems like their higher mind is basically gone and the body is just on some sort of crippled autopilot. Basically zombies. I’ve called the city’s crisis response team numerous times for the ones that start going into traffic. They’re pretty effective at least for helping the ones that are in immediate physical danger.
It is most likely Fentanyl, or some other form of opiate. Prolonged abuse causes them to lose control of their muscles around their core and this is the result.
I used to work near a hot spot for homelessness and drug use in San Francisco and witnessed it everyday. The things these people go through with that addiction are downright horrendous and the “Fentanyl Fold” or “Fent Bent” is actually one of the lesser symptoms. The skin infections, kidney problems, and digestive issues can become pretty severe. I’ve seen quite a few screaming in agony because their kidneys are messed up and they can’t urinate. People with infected swollen hands or feet. You can literally smell them rotting. Too much to list here honestly. It is a terrible drug that does permanent damage to people at best, and is just a slow agonizing death at worst.
A fine rustling indeed. Your name reminds me of a certain type of flatulence from a certain ruler of hell.
All of a sudden we care about Christians in Nigeria. Oh wait, they have oil.
1960s Conservative White Man Admits He’s “Scared” to Go to Movies Because of Black Representation
“Papa, how did those people vote? They black!”
“1960s Conservative White Man then insinuated that non-slave black characters may not be appropriate in children’s movies.”
This is a truly cursed sentence and it makes my brain hurt.
Great idea with the kielbasa! Gonna try that myself. I do this almost anytime I get frozen pizza as well, which is a bit of a nostalgic comfort food thing for me I guess (Red Baron or Tombstone on a Friday night for max nostalgia). I almost always end up adding more cheese, as the mfrs seem to skimp nowadays.
Sorry to see you got injured. How did it happen?
As an American, I can ride my mobility scooter for 74 hours and still be in Walmart. Comprend that.
Looks like he’s been in and out of prison for much of his life. It says he received an 8 year sentence in 2018. https://tucson.com/news/local/tucsonan-gets-nearly-years-used-stolen-credit-card-numbers-to/article_35fd069b-8869-51ac-b65f-725e27f07ba7.html
Also, why do we assume that them having sex with a sex worker will magically fix the serious mental issues they’re facing? Will they suddenly become likeable dudes that women want to be with after that sex worker experience? I’m pretty sure Elon has had sex with a few sex workers. Let’s ask him…
It seems they convinced him that NATO and Ukraine are Nazis. Typical stuff from the play book. Dude just went all in on it. Pretty sad, he had his whole life ahead of him.
https://www.newsweek.com/trump-voter-bachir-atallah-detained-border-agents-2060893 and he voted for Trump apparently… 🤦♂️
And this is how little Timmy, err, Bachir, learned that voting for faschists is bad. Sigh. Okay, maybe he learned…
Yes. Sometimes it is required to have your camera on. Even when it isn’t required, there are always some people who prefer to have theirs on for whatever reason.
We should all just collectively aggree to boycott the products of whatever ads we see. Make it known to advertisers that this is our stance. “Next product that I see in an ad that interrupts my video today gets a 3 month boycott”, etc.
Agreed with everything here but be careful about which protein powder you choose as some plant based powders have been found to contain higher levels of toxic metals.

Empathy as a weakness is exactly what I’d expect to hear from a sociopath. If everybody thought this way, we’d have no civilized society.
So basically he’d rather they just die than live with “stuff we don’t trust”. If “everybody has to die”, then why care about what’s in a vaccine in the first place? Extreme cognitive dissonance to support an ideology.
I don’t know about other cities, but here in San Francisco it is mostly treated as a public health issue. Users are not arrested or penalized. There are many treatment centers, shelters, clean injection sites etc. The help and support is definitely available but the public nuisance definitely does not just drop right off.
The problem that I see here is that there are people who are just too far gone to help due to the destruction Fentanyl causes. They will likely require fulltime care or stwardship for the rest of their lives. Many outright just refuse any help. Many go right back to using again after treatment because it’s all they know. I’ve spoken with a few that straight up told me they don’t care if they die doing this. While sad, it is their right to slowly kill themselves if they want I guess, but meanwhile they’re sprawled out on the sidewalk covered in their own diarrhea with everyone one else having to walk in the bike lane to avoid them. Society as a whole is losing here. Since 2023 about 1.5 people are known to die from Fentanyl per day in this city.
San Francisco deals with more than its fair share because people come here from across the country due to the mild climate and many services available, so maybe all of our facilities are just overloaded. Perhaps they are also I’ll equipped to deal with something like this because the physical and mental destruction that Fentanyl causes is just so severe. It’s not like the common drugs of the past.
