the only reason to browse hackernews is to find stories like "Effective Altruists get addicted to opiates" and "Indian food is disgusting, europeans just pretend to like it because they want to look woke. I am a michelin star restaurant chef."

They're putting medetomidine in the opiates now? I've been given medetomidine before....not exactly a relaxing sleep. Hang in there, folks who use opiates. Get your drugs tested if that option is available to you.

the only people who can fuck with opiates "responsibly" have bodies that do not respond to opiates very well :^)

While it's nice to be home, I'm going to miss being woken at 6am by Funke (she'd heard it all before) demanding to know what I would like for supper followed by Shubhankar taking my blood pressure and handing me opiates

I also feel *obligated* to mention a controversy: Falloppio made his observations largely on criminals to whom he had given purportedly-fatal doses of opiates.
There is the possibility that some of his observations were made via vivisection, unintentionally or not.
A bit icky to talk about. 😔

Opiates are still having a nice run. But yeah, 👍🏽

This, and recall, one of the major reasons for the spike in opiates consumption starting in the 90s in the Rust Belt/Ohio River watershed was a 1-2 punch of factories closing & abandoning a workforce with decades of repetitive stress injuries AND no access to rehab/health care until Medicare.
“Humans can just go get manual labor jobs if desk jobs are repaired with AI” is both not going to suffice to provide enough jobs and is also going to result in massive societal anger because manual labor jobs often *are terrible*, which is why people have worked hard to avoid them for generations.
Even if society provided the food/shelter level needs for everyone, humans also need to perform useful work just for basic fulfillment. The vast majority of people cannot sit around all day letting AI and robots do everything.
(The definition of “useful work” here is malleable but still essential)

I appreciate that, good sir. So much respect to anyone who has managed to get themselves off opiates. I still have a ways to go (to be completely clean), but trying to focus on baby steps.

I mean they're definitely also doctors willing to prescribe them unnecessarily huge doses of amphetamines and opiates so it's not like they're being picked for morality.

idea for an alternate history show: British imperialism never changed or fell. the East India Company remains mighty today. they created the first powerful processed opiates and use them to maintain control over their far flung colonies

That was usually a decade+ away, and in the pre-ACA, a knee replacement was $30K out of pocket and as attainable as the moon. The only treatment was pain meds, and surviving long enough to make it to Medicare. Orthopedic injuries get worse. Then add in the genetic variant in opiates processing —

Opiates, asbestos, and nuclear power are all normal technologies in the sense of this essay! They are all good examples of the risks of normal technology!

I remember some qualitative research in rural Oregon. Opiate use for repeated stress injuries or after needing it for an acute injury, couldn't take the time needed to actually heal because of finances. So more opiates to get thru work. And then meth to stay awake for the second job in the evening.

Or insurance won't cover the testing, because they'd rather spend the big bucks on brand name "non-addictive" opiates (ask me how I know!)

Y'know, I think the way to educate kids about opiates is to emphasise that:
1. Received wisdom will be that only soft lads get addicted. Strong lads can dabble. This is not true.
2. One day, you will probably medically need these drugs for terrible pain; don't close that option off for yourself.

Having “the talk” with Vanderbilt this morning; they keep saying pain clinic & I continue to ask what they provide which does not involve opiates
That’s not going to solve anything, I’m looking to retrain my brain
Physical therapy, biofeedback, etc, put your script away & listen to what I’m saying
