there's good evidence to suggest "susceptability to substance abuse" is a heritable trait

and generally substance abusers come from broken homes, have had catastrophic life failures, health problems and so on

I'd argue they have a fucked dopamine system and possibly a genetic predisposition

yes, this is true, it also correlates with certain autism spectrum traits

also, chronic pain sufferers

there's no tidy grouping, but a range

They just need to eat better then

When I was fully governed by substances it was because there was literally nothing else to do

a lot of it comes back to unfucking parenthood

And you gotta do something

and treating people with these conditions properly

i can even fund it for you with a policy change that won't put your taxes up

I dealt with it by moving out of the country lol and I am productive taking substances as reward for productivity not a thing to do because what else

My friend is researching the gut microbiome and he was on about how a bad one is correlated with autism

In short the access to things other than drugs is helpful

It affects your whole mental state

I heard of that

Stop eating chips and baked beans

i like chips and baked beans, and they're cheap

good source of protein, too

Not too bad from the household economy perspective

might have a toasted ham and cheese sandwich with beans and coleslaw for my lunch

since i have a ton of coleslaw to eat up before it goes off

the ham is terrible as it's pumped full of chemicals, but what are you going to do?

Ppl find it weird I'd rather eat fresh meat than get a new iPhone lmao

Who eats an iphone?

Dunno

my daily driver is a nokia 1110, i win

But I know ppl who save on food to afford accessories

Mine is a 3 wood

Right down the fairway

What you wanna do is go down to Aldi and get yourself some turkey mince 7% fat for like 1.70 and some pepers and onions for like 1.10 and some chopped tomatoes garlic kidney beans and pasta.
In total it's like 4.50

ahh, but do you have the shit jumper, ma?

Of course; pitching wedge

That's how I rolled lol

That'll do you three days spag bol

on occasion i'll do something like that and make a batch and freeze, ndm, but there's time preference involved

Swapping meat and vegetables

most of the time i'm using up what i have

And diversifying the carb with rice and groats
