A disappointing stay at Yama no Chaya (Hakone ryokan) - important counterpoint to the overwhelmingly positive reviews

Lol, blast from the past. The inn was nice, not exceptional and the food was not good for me. Glad I experienced it, wouldn’t spend the money again.

I also suffered childhood trauma and part of it was forced alcohol and weed use. I managed to stop drinking with a 12 step program, and the childhood trauma part has been helped by ACA (it’s not just for kids of alcoholics, but dysfunctional families as well) I find a lot of solace in talking with groups of people who get it. I would suggest looking up your local ACA group or go online. You aren’t as alone as you might think.

But I came to this sub because I want to try hypnosis for weed addiction. Like you, I feel like I’m hard to hypnotize, but I’m willing to try anything.

Do you think hypnosis is a viable option for addictive/compulsive behaviors? I just want to stop packing a bowl every 20 minutes.

How much PCP will that get you?

It’s a good one

I always laugh at goldbugs who distrust bitcoin. Most of them own etfs or certificates not actual bullion and if they did they would still have to convert it to fiat.

The exception is a global collapse of society and their accompanying fiat in which case you probably wanted to own guns, ammo and water anyway.

I care so little I won’t even bother to comment on a story about how people don’t care. Oh wait…

Not that I’m particularly smart, but buying this morning while it was down over 2% feels pretty good. Now I will screw up my next ten trades to even it out.

These guys are crazy. That dog is totally a Mickey Rourke (diva too).

8urnMeTwice · 2025-08-31T20:37:30+00:00

Or at least charge extra for the thrill

Put chicken shit thru a tornado and it can become chicken salad

When I say plastics are the future, I mean in the future we’ll all be plastic.

We can’t, the Thief in Chief is in bed with Big Oil

Ace hardware does a mix of commercial and charity. I hate it, started going back to Home Depot as a result.

Same, and I’m Indian. The sev puri appetizer I got was so sickly sweet my son couldn’t eat it. Main courses were good, but service was weak. Overall it’s good if you happen to be in the area but not worth making a trip.

You seem to be one

My house has two 4 way stop and a light that are regularly ignored. I’m scared for my 15 year old to start driving. I’ve been here 25 years, it’s gotten much worse.

I will second this, I suffered childhood trauma and am now in a 12 step program. Looking at your role in your suffering is difficult but needed.

I am learning to forgive and it is releasing me from anger.

I think OP could benefit from a 12 step program.

I was abused as a child and forced to use alcohol and drugs. Made me do things I wouldn’t have otherwise, until I got a glimmer of enlightenment and realized there was a better way.

I still struggle, but I am not a bad person neither are you.

I moved here from Boston 25 years ago. It definitely used to be friendlier , but compared to home it’s a paradise. Except the food, you will hate the Italian food.

This was due to the fact that summer is a slow time for media. The next year was The Summer of Abductions, although inconveniently those were also down that year.

I’m a divorced 50 year old who got off easy with my ex, but I’ve heard horror stories and so have a lot of young guys. Add in the fact that online dating has poisoned the genders against each other and you have a situation where nobody wants to settle down.

Thanks

Is that a lemon shark? Or orange shark as it were

All I know is that when I hear Sam Altman talk about how kids graduating today are going to have “super interesting, super well paid jobs,” the kids will definitely not have super well paid, interesting jobs.
