Dude is a scientist who is doing this channel as his retirement project. High quality production value and science based.
More realistic might be the addict does something stupid out of desperation like try to rob his dealer and is killed in the process.
It is never a good idea to put yourself in a position where you have legal liability and could be sued. Damages and even just the cost of hiring a lawyer could bankrupt you.
It is disturbing when people take this kind of mysticism seriously. I could say a lot about this but it may be best just to refer to the words of Carl Sagan:
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

“Without the option of “clean” natural gas, Sweden turned to district heating – an idea which had originated in New York in the 19th century. But Sweden committed to it in a big way during the 1960s and ‘70s, deciding it was the best way to meet the heating needs of the 1 million homes now being built. This decision shaped the way homes in Sweden are heated: today, some 90% of its multi-family apartment blocks are connected to district heating systems – with heat distributed from power plants (usually on the edge of cities) as hot water via a network of pipes.”
Get some boxes. Mark them as trash. Start putting stuff in those boxes. After a sufficient amount of time has passed where everyone has had time to know what is in the boxes, dispose of them.
My daughters got super excited to hear I was watching anime. I was like what, the D&D cooking show? I had not even realized it was anime. It is intensely odd, and I find that delightful.
Have a look at this site, there are some good visualizations: https://usafacts.org/government-spending/
Bike riding, video games, wildlife photography, tech tinkering, cooking, baking, reading. Basically keep myself busy with stuff that is broadly non-self destructive.

Food from thousands of miles away in abundant quantities.
I transitioned to an ebike.
I enjoy watching sports, but I do not obsess over it. I have a MythTV DVR setup to record OTA broadcasts. It records some matches, I watch those matches. I skip all the commercials and a lot of the boring bits TBH. Sometimes I go watch highlights on Youtube of my favorite teams.
You’re half right. The way companies expect people to use passwords is unsustainable. People can remember a password. No one can remember a unique, hard-to-guess password for every login they have. So they re-use passwords. Password re-use is so common and unavoidable that losing a single password is disastrous. It should not be. This is one of the promises of FIDO and passkey, not relying on a password that can be stolen, guessed and re-used.
