Why is one bullet point just "Uses Drugs"?

[–] Nikko882@lemmy.world 94 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Took me a second too, but it's supposed to be a list of descriptors of the woman in the picture. A better way to form it would be "She uses drugs, but she is also a wife, a coworker, and a grandmother." with the last three as bullet points.

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's marginally less confusing when you see the whole series instead of just this one grandmother poster. Each one has a list of bullets describing a person, with the one thing they all have in common being "Uses drugs".

Is that really all they could come up with is marriage and employment status? FFS, these are people, way to miss the assignment.

Retired CNA

That's how we often identify others

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

How I introduce myself as well. “Hello! Man. Father. Uses drugs. Retired bus driver.”

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

That makes so much more fucking sense, thank you lol

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Phew, thank you

Translation: “respectable property-owning white boomers also use drugs, and shouldn’t be lumped in with hippies, gangbangers and morally degenerate hedonists”

As a morally degenerate hippie adjacent criminal, i really support not being lumped in wuth those people.

Is the stigma around incorrect use of bullet points? I'd rather keep that one going.

I like Durham Region, I go to visit and everyone's wives and grandmothers are on drugs.

And that's just alright by me

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

So… are we asking for a world with zero stigma? Like against jay walking, shoplifting, infidelity?

I like graffiti but I don’t want is EVERYWHERE?

[–] WhyIAughta@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wild seeing city of Durham ad on lemmy. We’ve made the big time!

[–] SirDankbud@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Actually this is Durham region. A county near Toronto.

[–] WhyIAughta@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry that’s what I meant. Region, city same thing. It’s all Oshawa.

[–] SirDankbud@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Ahh ok. There is actually a Durham City in the USA that often gets confused with Durham Region on the internet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durham,_North_Carolina

[–] Maerman@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait. Does this mean I've been a real boy all this time?

Yes Pinocchio.

It's for opiates, now I'm imagining grandma sitting on her knitting chair shooting up heroin with her group.

Something that people perceive as a negative trait.

Stigma stigma boy

[–] SirDankbud@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Is this real? It has been twenty years since I moved away from Durham region but this dumpster fire of an ad does not surprise me at all.
