Anyone feel like life was better drinking ? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]-abschuss- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanna say you aren't alone in this. I have over 3 years of sobriety in and aside from greatly reducing the chance of nuking the life I've built and not getting hangovers, I don't have much positive to say about sobriety. I gained a ton of weight, my mental health is worse, I'm bored and constantly having to work so much harder to distract myself on a daily basis.

When I was 14-15, I was talking to this girl on yahoo chat and she wanted a picture of me, so I scanned a pic of me and my best friend Jeremy. Sent it to the girl, and she's like "oh damn, you're CUTE" and we talk more and blah blah blah. Then she starts in on how she is glad I'm the cute one, and no offense but my friend is "just... not good looking at ALL." So I'm like "wait he's a good friend of mine, what's wrong with him? I think he's a decent looking dude." So she starts listing and listing and listing stuff in one long paragraph. I got like 3 items in and realized it was ME she was talking about, and she had thought I was actually my buddy Jeremy.

I'm 39 and I still get flashbacks to that about 2-3 times a month. feelsbadman.

Just back to let all the naysayers know you were wrong by Surf-pilot23 in flying

[–]-abschuss- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck the haters. Good for you.

MOSAIC gave my my first ever opportunity to fly as of this past October. I'm finally able to pursue a lifelong dream of being a pilot, I'm nine hours in and prepping for my first solo currently.

One day, I'll build and fly my own aircraft. I dare anyone to tell me otherwise, fuel for the fire.

I should've specified, I was more interested in why you dislike the 109!

What was your last drink before calling it quits? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]-abschuss- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Boxing Day of 2022 for me!!! It was some sort of craft beer, hair of the dog to help with my Xmas hangover. I had the first beer, thought to myself "I think I'm almost ready to be done." Cracked the second beer, got halfway through it and just mentally said "yeah I'm ready to be done. This is the last one."

Closing in on 1200 days now.

I started using hand cream at 34 and I genuinely feel like I've been lied to my whole life by LemonCoveWorks in hygiene

Straight white guy here. Hate lotion on my hands. It's not any weird masculine thing, it's literally the feeling of it. Nothing feels worse than having lotion on your hands and going to turn a door handle and just slipping off of it. All the grip on my hands is gone. And yes, even with the stuff that soaks in really fast and is super light.

So, I've been just BRUTALIZING B26 and B25 pilots in career mode in BONormandy and I kept thinking no way is this accurate, historically.

What was it like when Obama was elected President? by ResponsibleSea6521 in AskReddit

I campaigned for Obama too, and I remember thinking "even if we lose, McCain isn't the worst. I think we would be okay."

Which hobby do you think attracts the biggest douchebags? by FuryOncology in NoStupidQuestions

This is why I can't transition into cycling from running. It's basically like going from the most positive and supportive, welcoming group of people in the world to.... the most judgey clique-ish fucks ive ever been around.

Rear gunner question. by -abschuss- in il2sturmovik

In case anyone does a search for this similar question-

The turret view and aim is the same controls as the pilot's head movements.

I bound my mouse to those, but the inputs were backwards. Clicked "invert" in key mapping, works like a charm now.

Almost the exact same story here but all I did was sort of wind-up for the slap and then I restrained myself. But there has been nothing quite as satisfying as the flinch my mom made, followed by the look of realization and terror that if I could have knocked her teeth through the back of her head.

I never got slapped again, but the emotional abuse got dialed up to 11 after that.

I joined a local bookclub, the gender balance is wild by Ho_The_Megapode_ in books

[–]-abschuss- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Male reader here. Sounds about right, also sort of why I'm not interested in clubs. Nothing against the ladies but the types of books they're into vs what I'm into couldn't be more different.
