Good to hear she’s reaching out to the 42% of her constituents in the city of new york

Exactly, you need to come off as the good guys and the ordinary majority. Violence turns people off unless they’re pretty invested

Yeah, there’s a reason I morally and tactically oppose political assassination. Morally because Yeah, if someone deserves to die it should be handled with utmost care and deliberation. But tactically because it always fucking works against you. I’m not sad he’s dead, but if it was someone on my side I’d be fucking pissed.

Oh i didn’t. The lights were on but I wasn’t home

Yeah he deserves it. He acted the hell out of season 2

Evil destroys itself. Even if all good is destroyed it can be relearned and rebuilt as it exists in our hearts

To pass off the arm hair as a shirt

Could also be weird body hair patterns

It’s why I prefer trains. That and once you experience good public transit it’s really nice.

I think it may just be the justice department doing its job beneath the radar. I’ve had to do ADA reports before, they’re very much a bureaucratic thing

Lol no. Well until I got attractive and funny in high school

I think it may be easier to do if you mentally frame it as something you’re putting away until you’re in a place to be responsible with it. When you feel you may be ready for it again imagine what responsible use would look like, maybe only when you want sex but its infeasable (partner or you are tired, date went poorly, etc).

You may want to do similarly with weed.

Giving up something you like permanently sucks, its why so often people keep drinking until they absolutely have to quit, when if a few years earlier they’d taken a few months off and set some rules for themselves before starting again they may be able to keep doing it.

Also as you’re learning to deal with boredom and emotions look up some dbt or cbt resources they help control your emotions by being aware of them and by learning distress tolerance

That’s a really good article

Yeah, depression and loneliness are two classic culprits. Even if OP went cold turkey and kept it up, without dealing with the root cause they’re prone to abusing something else instead like video games, religion addiction, exercise addiction, or maybe even substances. And I know some people will say religion and exercise aren’t that bad to get addicted to, but much like porn and video games, the dose can make the poison. This is lemmy so I assume people understand how harmful people can be when they’re too into their religion. I have a relative who has to go to the gym to avoid panic attacks, and physical overexertion can lead to serious injury.

You’re struggling with moderating dopamine seeking activities. Porn is the specific one, but carelessness can easily lead to others being the target.

Any activity you can’t regulate will have a deleterious effect on your life. So my question is what do you want to do with that time and effort?

Sorry I can’t smork bunts anymore I have to vap weed and eat marijuana edibles

You just can’t comprehend the reality of life with three (3) weed smoking girlfriends

Resistance is violence. We desire peace which will be achieved whenever you lie down and take it

Truth is dead because everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of public opinion

Oh really? Like All of them?

I’m go glad my mom taught me from a young age that no means no whether I say it or others do. Unfortunately the latter stuck harder than the former… Well actually if only one could stick I suppose the better did
