Maybe the next time your neighbors smoke and do meth don’t report it because that’s a snitch move I don’t care if you don’t like the smell it’s not going to kill your gosh!

If you can smell it, youre inhaling it. Close your windows or get some drafting going.

It's always best not to upset tweakers. They don't need to sleep. You do.

[–] liberaldeathsquads@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Tweakers are our comrades comrade

Maybe based on pure class analysis, but there's nothing about smoking meth that makes you anti-capitalist, or anti-white supremacy.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 8 months ago

In fact, in my area, meth is the drug of choice for white supremacists.

Calling the cops is for moments that you are sure the situation would be made better by someone being shot.

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago

Yeah my bar for calling the cops is “Would this situation be improved by adding an easily frightened maniac with a gun?” which is very few situations.

"Hello, police? I'd like to report a landlord."

I wouldn’t want their kids to lose a parent because I called the cops on their parents for smoking meth. I’m not evil. I’m a good person. I’m helping those children by not reporting it.

I really feel like this is going too far on the contrarian end.

Yes foster care and care homes are bad, but I don't think one should pretend that a child growing up in a dual meth-parent household is growing up in a safe and healthy environment.

The kid could be a lot better off with a grandparent, aunt, or uncle. The shit part is you don't know until things are in motion.

That child is not in a good position and i think pretending like they are is the "own the chuds" equivalent to burning your shoes because a gay person wore a similar pair.

Kids in homes with meth use are substantially more likely to be sexually abused, physically abused, get diseases, burns and other physical damage. Being in a meth house is not a conducive environment for being a child. Plus secondhand exposure to meth as a child is not healthy and will often result in preteens with severe liver damage.

This is a good heuristic

We've discovered the only time you can humanely call cops: when you live next door to one and you need that issue taken care of

get them an air purifier /s

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Why did this come up? Has another neighbor reported them in the past?

[–] allthetimesivedied@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

Someone PING ME next time there’s a thread like this lol.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

meth labs can explode and cause fires; get insured

[–] allthetimesivedied@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

Cooking meth requires some knowledge of chemistry, and thousands of dollars worth of lab equipment and “ingredients.” Unless you can get your hands on some pseudoephedrine. Then you can make that shit in a fucking Gatorade bottle.

[–] allthetimesivedied@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Drugs don’t kill people—it’s the stigma that kills. You can get kicked out of college, lose your job, lose your housing just because you happen to be on drugs—you don’t have to do anything wrong. And then you become an unperson—you can do absolutely nothing wrong and still people spit in your face and call you a piece of shit, and somehow that’s OK.

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

I'm sorry, but I know tons of people who have died after years of alcohol abuse. The human body is not capable of sustaining years of drug abuse and drugs are 100% capable of blowing your liver out. The stigma doesn't help anyone but that doesn't make humans able to sustain years of drug abuse.
