Josh is a man who will literally go to the ends of the Earth (Sao Tome) rather than give up. Once he's set his mind to something, he will either get it or get a satisfactory alternative, come hell or high water.
Even when he loses, he wins.
An Ooperator of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking sneed.
Small town sheriff's and judges often think very highly of themselves.
Useless boomer fucks, if you ask me. Sue them until they cry.
For sure, especially when they are in the good graces of rich families like the Rekieta Crime Family and want to remain in those good graces. The web of interconnected corruption makes all parties feel invincible because as long as they do not draw federal ire they can usually obfuscate and bullshit through almost anything and harass any families that not cooperate out of the community.
Given the expense and criminal risk associated with it, how fast it wears off really calls into question the appeal. I find it hard to understand why it is worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars and the violation of serious laws for a brief moment of being twitchy/hyper. Not to mention the crash out that follows.
Is there some other enticing effect I'm not aware of or is it really that fucking retarded?
The sheer euphoria many describe when doing various drugs is only part of the equation that leads to repeated and ruinous drug use. In the case of people like Nicholas he is also not just doing one drug but constantly runs around with a cocktail of legal and illegal substances in his system and up until recently a large helping of alcohol to boot, which makes it even worse for what I am about to bring up.
Nicholas and his band of degenerates are not only doing one or two sensory enhancing substances which on their own can fry the reward system permanently of someone just laying on a couch tripping balls, but they are doing untold multiples of substances
for entire DAYS, paired with extreme sexual acts which again on its own can fry your dopamine receptors.
Combining all of this ends up with people so used to experiencing extreme stimulation that things like the best meal they ever had, the finest whiskey money can buy, deeply romantic intercourse with the love of their life, the first steps of their child, any of these do not even register to such people anymore.
They genuinely become unable to experience satisfaction, joy, or pleasure, from anything unless they do those things while also high as a kite and as they do so they continuously further dull their brains to any and all pleasurable sensations. This is how people end up living their entire lives with their only motivation being the next high as they chase that ever elusive dragon which gets further and further away with every high. They end up with only 2 things taking up their entire being, the first being the next high, and the second being the fear of withdrawal as after so long in the throes of drug fueled pleasure this becomes a terrifying experience more painful than anything they have ever experienced.
