one thing I never understood about the story is that sex and heroin don't go great together

[LimpyLoo]

That story is just an orgy of bad decisions.

 

Mixing heroin with alcohol is just asking for trouble...

As a random aside: sometimes Slate is spot-on, and sometimes they are way off. I just read an article about how we should negotiate with terrorists (and, even more importantly, admit that we negotiate with terrorists).

 

As someone who's rather obsessed with game theory and Bayesian analysis, I read that article with my mouth agape. I was actually embarrassed for the writer's having so little insight and so much confidence.

(If we openly have a policy of negotiating with kidnapping, that will incentive much, much more kidnapping. The best strategy is probably to occasionally negotiate with terrorists, but very quietly).

 

Anyway, sometimes Slate has great articles. Some of their writers are solid.
