    He obviously was not down the best path, but man that's too bad. Too many child "stars" not having very awesome futures.
    It's a shame that these child stars don't have more people protecting them as they're going through the process of growing up famous. But at the same time, a lot of the people going through this process with the kids (family, friend, etc.) have probably never been through the process and have no idea what they're doing. You'd think with his family being in the spotlight because of Nick that he'd have had a better chance, but you just never know.

        Hey are any of you guys chemists or proficient with chemistry? I am debating trying to acquire some Dicyanin Dye but it is illegal and highly restricted despite not being a drug, toxic, or dangerous. Honestly, I'd probably be too much of a chickendick to use it as intended anyway, but it has me quite curious, although my gut tells me not to mess with it and see something I can't unsee.

        Anyway, any of you guys chemists or proficient with chemistry?

          near as I can tell that dye isn't illegal

          but chemistry is one step related to alchemy, alchemy is another hop skip and jump from Freemasonry,
          so I'd personally steer clear of all dye's lol
          also, I wouldn't want to be associated with chemistry for fear of being associated with being the next Heisenberg

            There was actually a woman here in California who started a huge fire last year, she was/is completely nuts, but it turned out she had a master's degree in chemistry. I suspect she might have gotten high on her own supply or something.

              I keep finding conflicting information on its legality, but more sources than not claim it is illegal. Either way, I definitely can not find it for sale anywhere on the internet.

              Maybe you know what I'm talking about. It was used/created/applied whatever in the 1920's I believe it was said to have "magic" properties when placed between two panes of glass. The story goes that the first NVG's were not green, but red because they contained the dye. The problem was, soldiers kept firing at things that did not exist when the goggles were off, and they claimed they were demons and other entities that were coming to get them. On the ground and out of helicopters, soldiers together threw lead at what they were seeing out of fear, which resulted in the dye/goggles being discontinued and replaced.

              From my understanding, it has something to do with quantum physics (which I have zero knowledge of) where the dye between glass allow particles to be viewed that are faster than the speed of light, allegedly allowing people to peer into parallel universes. Apparently these particles resembled demons and also have been said to allow people to visibly see a persons aura as well. I feel comfortable/confident in feeling someones aura, sometimes immediately, but I have never actually seen the aura, although I do believe there is plenty of technology out there that can measure it without the dye.

              Either way, I have gone from curious to hesitant, back to curious and now sit at "nope nope nope" because if I do get some, and I do see demons, that means they can see me, and they can see me seeing them, which means God only knows what. Maybe I would be better off not fooling around with these kinds of things, you know? And yes alchemy is a lost art I would be down with, but I would have to ask the Mason's more on that. This dye is basically alchemy, with a touch of necromancy as well it sounds like.

              I'll just stick to Gematria to aid my understanding of the universe. I bet that one dude knows what I'm talking about.

              The numbers Mason! What do they mean???

                I learned while in law enforcement that the cause of many home and run down motel fires stemmed from homemade meth production, so makes sense. It was the fools who tried to make it on the move in plastic soda bottles and lost limbs after shaking them that got me the most though, whew

                    I'm about to go there. Deal with it.

                    I learned later in life that it's the silent farts which tend to smell more anyway, which means you can't ever escape detection of having farted.

                    I'm trying to think of the chemistry of it, but my guess is we need to eek out farts silently when we may instead need to take a dump to not exert that out, and the stink comes from the **** that wants to come out as the gas passes through, but doesn't.

                    On the flip side, I wonder how farts would be with people if they smelled amazing. We'd be tootin' all day, that's for true.

                      I don't know that I've ever thought about anything as deeply as you just thought about farts.
