That's not a prediction, that's an offer you can't refuse.

Stanford Digital Economy Lab and Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. So effectively yes.

In situations like this, CPS can actually be a good resource to help her make a change if other options fail. It's a really tough call to make but know that nobody else may do it and the responsibility can be on you. If the safety of the child is at risk (and it seems like it could be), and she can't get sober through other means, then it's the right call to make. They won't just 'take custody of the child' unless the situation is truly dire, and they can get her the help she needs.

If she's having bad withdrawals then she should not quit without assistance since it can be deadly. She should enroll in an alcohol use disorder treatment program. There are a lot of treatment programs possible, both inpatient and outpatient. She can start with a family doctor or reach out to a treatment facility directly. You can call the SAMHSA National Helpline if you need help navigating anything.

I have two situations that are related. One is a friend, his mother had a really bad drinking problem when he was in high school and she refused to get help. His family worked through CPS to help her get treatment. The other is more personal, my sister is currently going through a psychosis where she hears the voice of god and it tells her to do things. She thinks her child is part of some divine plan. She refuses to get any treatment. Practically speaking, I don't have any power to coerce her into getting treatment. I'm closely monitoring the situation and if I feel like things have gone too far then my plan is to call CPS. Since it will damage the relationship with my sister, I've giving her a lot of leeway, but if I ever feel like her child is unsafe then I'm calling immediately.

hexbear.net is on the list. It knows about benis.

Even more LLMs. It's a carrot on a stick for businesses.

Louis Vuitton had to close its US site because of quality issues lamo.

There is a paper on the DEA's website that describes the procedure for extracting pure cocaine from the adulterated form because they will do it for criminal sentencing reasons. The intermediate form is crack.

fwiw, I hear kratom hits different if you've never been on dope

I definitely think it should be legal and accessible because it's a valuable tool for people on opioids. I don't think we have a kratom epidemic. But in a conversation about alcohol alternatives with people who aren't as informed about drug experimentation, I'd voice that kratom as a lot more potential consequences from say kava, cannabis, etc.

Not kratom in isolation. But if there is one drug that I'd say to not fuck around with it's opioid and opioid-like analgesics. I have some friends who have been struggling for the past 15 years to get off of opioids, and many who didn't make it. No other drug category has contributed more to decimating my friend group.

kratom

I don't know how to say this nicely. Don't do kratom unless you're already an opioid addict and you need to come off. It's not a safe drug to experiment with recreationally because it's so easy to get addicted to. I'm a heavy drug user and promote experimenting with drugs except for opioids (and kratom) because of how many people I've seen absolutely ruin their lives on it.
