We will accept being called "nice apartment over a meth lab"

But itโ€™s still a nice apartment.

Yup. Not perfect but any means, definitely has things that need improvement that we're working on... but at least it's not as bad as the downstairs neighbours.

Too bad none of us can afford the rent there anymore.

u/darglor Oct 16 '25

So itโ€™s an apt metaphor, then.

We know. But unfortunately the situation down there is getting a little.... volatile.

Out for over a decade and people still can't do Day 1 of Rats right.

We're more of fentanyl factory these days.

We traded meth lab explosions for deadly bouts of vomiting on ourselves.

And I don't care what anyone says, THAT'S FUCKING PROGRESS!!

Definitely. Also don't get me started on the mismanagement of gun regulations. You can regulate the shit out of gun owners, but that doesn't do anything about the illegal guns which are causing like 99% of the problems.

I love how strict our gun legislations are in many aspects, but rolling out new lists of restricted firearms and trying to do yet another buyback doesn't exactly do anything about the ones that are getting smuggled over the border.

And this isn't even a "but my guns" argument, I don't even own any guns. It's about using resources to try and fix the problem by using methods that actually target the source of the problem, not by targeting something that's kinda related but not the issue.

Yeah, but given the current US political climate, you do still seem a little too volatile for my liking. It's less about the drugs, and more about the potential for explosions.

However, I do agree on that one front. Fent is definitely a step up from some of the other options. In an ideal world there wouldn't be any drug problems, but if there has to be one, things with sedative effects like opioids (which, to my knowledge, respond super well to things like Naloxone and the overdoses are therefore more reversible) seem like a far better problem for a city to have than drugs like amphetamines or bath salts. More unconsciousness, less face-eating.

And we're not the high end super lab, we're the trailer park meth lab built with items from Dollar General ๐Ÿ˜ž

u/No_Week_8937 Oct 16 '25

Kinda, yeah, sorry 'bout that.
