I was gonna upvote this post, but it’s at 666 currently so I couldn’t.
Man, I miss the time that this is what bots meant
At least the comment was an overall happy one. Luckynumber bot could have done this to a comment about someone dying to the drugs.
Had the “dadjokebot” jump in a tread about not having children in a subreddit for folks with a genetic disorder. The novelty of those bots wore out in 2013.
Nah, the bots showing up in inappropriate contexts never got old.
!nwordcount was my favorite
I have massive respect for anyone who’s been addicted, done the work, and overcome it. It shows a level of determination, maturity, and self awareness that many people don’t have.
Hey, I am a anyone. Got a job, family is stable, haven’t died in a puddle of something gross in years.
Good on you, mate. A random internet stranger is proud of you. Genuinely!
And one more here, so at least two now.
Ditto. I’ll hear people disparage because “why did they get addicted in the first place” and it frustrates me - I used to work IT for a company with a dedicated facility for people with criminal records. I met many recovered addicts and the most common cause of their addiction was being prescribed opioids.
But I don’t think people need an excuse anyway. Life isn’t perfect, far from it.
can i offer a minor correction? everyone (besides me) i know who has struggled with opioid addiction, the cause for their addiction wasn’t being prescribed opioids. the problem was their doctor removed the access to legal opioids while they were still in enough pain that they required opioids, so they were forced onto the illegal market and the cheapest thing they could get was some mix of heroin and fentanyl. by the time they no longer required opioids, they had gotten addicted to the illegal drugs.
without going into too much detail of my personal experience, i’ll just say for the love of whatever gods you don’t worship do not fuck around with opioids. take them as exactly as your MD prescribes if you can. if everything goes wrong you run the risk of waking up every morning with a deep, craving instinctual in your veins.
I mean, the other way you could interpret this is that they were prescribed opioids, got addicted to them, and then (because they were addicted) convinced themselves that their only option was the black market.
yes, that is what the doctors keep telling themselves, that the book says oh no you should have healed by now. oh yes i promise that we didn’t screw up. i promise that you recovered properly we didn’t completely ruin your body.
ask me how i know.
c/cursedcomments
!the sub never took off, i tried!<
Can someone recommend me a mobile app that turns c/ into links like on Reddit?
Uh, not jerboa. I think you have to do something with exclamations but I haven’t looked into it too close. Give me a minute to test?
I’m on boost. When i write ! And something immeditely after, it suggests me to conver it into a link. It is actually a normal link
The same with @, which is used for users.
I can the normal links with the brackets and parens, I just can’t seem to get the exclamation or /c/ shortcuts work the way the faq says and I think that might be jerboa.
We need bots like those on Lemmy, those are the things I mostly miss from Reddit.
