Driving at 60mph through giant swarms is like traveling at warp speed.

Las Vegas doesn’t give a fuck how drunk you are to enter the airport. Literally had to guide and push my drunk coworker through TSA. I’m not sure if he even remembers getting on the plane.

I met my wife on Tinder about that long ago. Maybe a little longer. We’re getting a very amicable divorce since we both grew apart, but yea, it worked.

Can confirm this is true. Or it’s a man listed as a woman.
- Comment on Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts, they just replace their addiction? 4 weeks ago:
That’s very possible. I haven’t done in-depth research on it.
- Comment on Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts, they just replace their addiction? 4 weeks ago:
Addict/alcoholic 11 years sober. I got sober at a rehab and stayed sober through Alcoholics Anonymous. First, there’s a difference between chemical dependence and addiction. Often these things go hand in hand. Chemical dependence means your body will go through withdrawals if you stop taking in the substance. Something like weed has no chemical dependence aspect, but you can still be addicted to it. Heroin and alcohol can have heavy chemical dependence, and you can be addicted to those.
What AA teaches is not that alcohol is bad. Alcohol is a solution to the problem, but the solution no longer works. The base problem is I wanted to change the way I feel. AA creates a new way to change the way you feel in a healthy way.
If you look at it from that aspect, what you’re replacing is how you change how you feel. Personally, between ADHD and addiction, I very much display addictive behaviors to other things. Whether that’s hyperfixation or addiction, I’m not sure.
What I do know, is that I have no moderation to mind and mood altering substances. If they came out with a miracle pill and said, take one and your addiction will be gone forever, I’d ask for 2.

I know there’s a tiktok named “donesandbums” or something like that. They just use a drone and film homeless people.

- Comment on Nobody gets to tell me what to do! 5 weeks ago:
They say that the super book smart are a little out of touch with reality. My uncle and dad worked for NASA. They had a coworker that clipped their toenails, kept them, and munched on them like a snack. Someone also dumped in the stairwell.
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 5 weeks ago:
Well my 250lbs upstairs neighbor makes the ceiling creak and groan, but the jackhammering they did to fix the slab on the apartment behind mine rattled my bed.
- Comment on The real personality test 1 month ago:
I say it in a very tired voice because I’ve already spent hours researching and trying to fix it myself.
- Comment on You will certainly not regret 1 month ago:
If you ever decide to stop, seek medical assistance. If you are to the point where you get the shakes, the detox could kill you if you quit cold turkey.
- Comment on FF Evangelists 1 month ago:
Thank you for adding that to my search history
- Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 1 month ago:
As an alcoholic 11 years sober, the only substance I know of that can kill you when quitting is alcohol. When AA started, they would keep alcohol in their house when helping others get sober so they wouldn’t die from DTs.

Same. I’ve heard it spoken of, but never what it actually was.
- Comment on Porn is harder to access 8 months ago:
Every porn site I’ve ever been too is loaded with ads so they can’t be too bad. I will admit almost every ad is for other porn sites/scams
- Comment on What game has a great story and is worth the time investment? 8 months ago:
I love both of these. Sooo good.
- Comment on What game has a great story and is worth the time investment? 8 months ago:
I haven’t seen anyone mention BioShock. BioShock 1 and 2. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the third and haven’t played it so I’ll make no comment on it.
Prey is in the same vein as BioShock.
Dead space has some horror but is also good.
- Comment on What does this icon mean? 8 months ago:
I see it on all of your threads/comments. I haven’t noticed anyone else with emojis in their name, but I also haven’t been looking.
- Comment on What does this icon mean? 8 months ago:
Interesting. It shows up on all of your comments on this thread for me. I’m using liftoff.
- Comment on What does this icon mean? 8 months ago:
Did you somehow put an emoji in your name? It’s on your main profile also. So I believe it’s a part of your name as opposed to community/server related.
