If you hate your body now, wait for perimenopause to hit. Periods sucked for 30 years, but this is hell.

These are also the people that can’t figure out the bear proof trash cans at camp sites and provide hours of entertainment in their attempts to use them.

I live in GA where every Spring someone applies that yellow “Mexico” filter to real life. Washing anything outside is pointless for months.

- Comment on Your opinion is important 2 weeks ago:
I am a cis white woman. My opinion has never, in my life, mattered to any real consequence. I am not liberal, I am an anarchist. Fuck this title. My opinion has never mattered in the scheme of things and never will. What’s the best I could ever do? Be loud on Twitter? Maybe run for minor local office and lose to a rich fuck? No. My opinions do not, in fact matter. They never have, and they never will.

I’d recommend the show over the manga. It’s why I laugh about the whole idea that “isekai” is new. I just want to be a girl ontop of Tokyo Tower and be transported into a new world where I am a Magical Girl xD

I can’t. You’re all the way over there and getting up from bed takes a lot of energy.

I’m a 45 yr old horse girl. Can confirm. I have Magic Knight: Rayearth tattoos.

This makes no sense, even on a meme level. Her “firing” (read: lateral move) would likely make the number go up by one, if anything.

- Comment on Requesting to moderate /c/comicstrips 2 weeks ago:
The mod tools on Lemmy…. aren’t great. There is a moderation queue for reported posts/comments. If a mod aaclunt isn’t on the same instance of their moderated community, they do not see the mod queue. If something isn’t reported, it is hard for mods to see unless they are genuinely active in the community.

Look. Don’t do drugs. It can ruin your life like it did mine. That being said, the cocaine/heroine combo is a fucking blast.

No, it absolutely sticks to clothing etc. even if outdoors much like cigarettes.
- Comment on Save me from going down a dark path 2 weeks ago:
I was required to sit in on basically ads for over priced living spaces in rehab, in multiple locations. It is especially bad in the free state sponsored rehabs here. Regarding the religious stuff, Christianity is literally all over the AA Big Book. AA is religious. Court cases repeatedly find that Alcoholics Anonymous is religious in nature. As a result, no agent of government may legally require anyone to attend AA. AA, and by inheritance, NA is entirely religious in nature. If you are not religious, most of it will fall flat.
If it winds up working for you, that’s great, seriously. People should at least try it, especially since the sense of community can really be what’s needed to help you.
It should also be said that experiences will vary by region and program wildly. I just can’t say that I personally ever gained anything positive from it other than encouragement (which has really helped).
- Comment on Save me from going down a dark path 2 weeks ago:
One of the steps is believing in a higher power. I was kicked out of rehab for denying this sentiment. They try to say that “OH, it could be anything!” and then continuously push Bible verses on you. The AA handbook is mostly Bible verses and evangelical propaganda.
The core ideas can work for some people. If those meetings help, despite your beliefs, then keep going. The one thing that has helped me is actually wanting to stop. That takes a lot, even if you don’t recognize it.
They will blab on and on in AA, and it is 100% based in biblical texts (though there is an attempt to include everyone). And, sadly, one of the main things they will do in rehab is force you to sit in “meetings” where they have a guest speaker join. Guess what that speaker does - they try to convince you to join a very expensive rehoming, AA, or NA living facility.
My point is, the end goal is to want, not need, to stop. This takes a lot. After 20 years of drinking I had to want to stop to actually do it. For the same amount of time for smoking, the best I could do was switch to modern nicotine pouches. It worked. I haven’t smoked in about 7 months, but since I don’t want to give up nicotine yet, I can’t. I’m trying to want to.
This is a long comment now, but my point is that the entire goal of the 12 steps sans religion is to convince yourself that you don’t want that anymore.

That’s more than fair. I think I had mild dyslexia when reading your username xD.
- Comment on FML 3 weeks ago:
This honestly does not fit. $5 for a burger, fries, nuggets and a drink. I hate myself for doing it, but there just isn’t cheaper food.The next best thing is paying maybe $8 (if you’re lucky) for a frozen pizza that you need at least a half hour of time for.
I ry do hate it, but trying to paint McDonald’s as overly priced right now makes me think that you are either very out of touch, you have never had to love on truly bad food for long periods of time, or you’re just posting this to get people to agree with you.
