  • Yes the way the product is made has changed. From the synthesis, to the facilities, scale and locations.

    Meth cooking has moved from sporadic, scattered psuedoephedrine based small batch cooks in the United States to MASSIVE scale superlabs in Mexico.

    The formula has changed though as well, psuedoephedrine is too difficult to obtain at the scale that it is needed to produce this much meth. So these new meth factories use the P2P (phenyl-2-propanone) method. This is the one they use in breaking bad for the same reason essentially once they get big enough.

    What has changed with this method is that the meth comes out as a racemic mixture and must be cleaned up to get a pure D-Methamphetamine product, or mostly cleaned up. The remain L-Methamphetamine makes the high less mentally euphoric and more physically stimulating.

    (Essentially less potent mg for mg.)

    More product is needed to get the same effect compared to pure D-Meth which is what psuedoephedrine synthesis produces.

    This new super lab product is also usually less clean in general. It often is more likely to contain potential leftover contaminants simply because it’s made in huge batches by a group that has only recently decided to go all in on meth.

    They also aren’t like… taste testing their products. Often, small batch cooks would do this, they were addicts too lol

    Superlabs just make tons of this new more “commercial grade” stuff and hope it turns out well after it’s refined a couple times.

    It’s often cheaper for the end user and the price speaks for itself. It sells itself, a small dip in potency for a huge price break is a no brainer.






  • Yeah there’s nooooo way it also could have just been your garden variety stimulant/amphetamine psychosis

    I have a sneaking suspicion his buddy was doing meth/adderall/other stimulants to stay lean.

    Amphetamines combined with lack of sleep can fuck with your head. (Especially if you’re already an idiot.)

    For the record everyone: Methamphetamine is growing rapidly in terms of popularity, all over the world.

    Crystal meth can absolutely destabilize one’s mental health to the point it is scary.

    Yes it can make you lose weight and concentrate on boring tasks but you HAVE to fucking sleep and eat. (A lot of people just stop taking care of themselves cause the physiological cues for hunger and rest don’t happen on these drugs)

    Don’t use meth every day. Duh.

    If you begin to feel like you’re experiencing things that are outside the realm of normal possibility you might want to put it down and take a Valium and just go to fucking bed.

    Thank you this has been my meth TED talk.

    (2 years clean this November.)




  • Cyberpunk is a genre of science fiction (mostly literature) often credited with being sparked by William Gibson’s “Neuromancer”

    It is a far larger and more influential piece of contemporary science fiction and pop culture than simply being an open world video game

    The title of the video game is in reference to the genre that has existed since the 1980s, and honestly the game is more of a retro future 1980s style sci Fi action/crime thriller game than a genuine “Cyberpunk” work of fiction, at least thematically speaking. Uh weirdly Deus Ex (1) is sort of more Cyberpunk in essence than “Cyberpunk 2077”

    (William Gibson himself has stated that the cyberpunk 2077 game essentially only shares an aesthetic theme with the genre. A retro future 1980s aesthetic essentially being all that it shares with some cyberpunk fiction. Cyberpunk fiction has nothing to do necessarily with the 1980s vibe, Neuromancer and other early works simply happened to have been written during that time period.)




  • Honestly a lot of his earlier stuff is serviceable if somewhat forgettable rap rock (He likely was inspired somewhere along the line by the early work of the beastie boys)

    Once he decided he was also country fusion it really started to be very very crappy. His attitude is also awful since the early 2000s.

    I do recall a song of his called “New York’s not My Home” or somthing (this would be probably late 80s, early 90s) in which he essentially states that the wild stuff he encounters in New York doesn’t bother him because he understands that there are cultural differences between places

    It’s a pretty far cry from the weapons level MAGA idiocy he now feeds on, though it seems to be slowly losing wind in his sails so to speak. (No one going to his shows lol)

    That being said his best song is “Bawitaba” (sp?) which while fun sometimes isn’t exactly an intellectually rich piece of artwork.

    Whoa

    They pound beers a lot more effectively now I’ve been told

    I heard Kash can put back a whole case before he starts to lose significant control of his motor coordination

    Then again apparently he also has shaky hands before his first morning beer

    Ya gotta make some sacrifices to crush brews at what is essentially an Olympic level
