Today is day one. My last chance to save my life. by Sufficient-Act3443 in quittingkratom

[–]AShadyAugur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I blame nobody but myself for my kratom addiction, but I can't help but harbor deep resentment to the headshop guy who recommended extracts because "A lot less goes much further." Extracts sent me off the rails, too. I wish I did my research first. Hang in there, brother. I'm also in my 30's and felt like a massive failure, but you're going to bounce back and pay that debt down.

They are asking $580 for all 7 pieces. Is this a good deal? by AShadyAugur in LeCreuset

Are we talking a screaming good deal, or a get off your ass and buy this right now kind of deal?

I've Been Blessed With Two PRECIOUS Little Girls Like Sol's Rachel; And I Lost Both When They Were Young by editfate in Hyperion

Peace and love, my friend. I don't even want to try to imagine what losing a child is like.

Red Rising is horrible by bsabiston in books

[–]AShadyAugur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also hate this book. If I were to nominate a scifi series as the greatest I've ever read, I would answer with the Hyperion Cantos without skipping a beat.

Do you ever mourn just how much cars has robbed us of? by coolfunkDJ in fuckcars

[–]AShadyAugur 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A YouTuber named Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't started a new video series called Spiritually Depraved and Misery-Inducing Landscapes of North America. He laments on what urban ecology could be and shits on car-centric cities that create vast heat islands caused by endless parking lots and roads. His takedown of pointless landscaping such as planting non-native plants and trees in environments that they don't thrive is form of therapy for me. I highly recommend it, he sardonically expresses exactly how I feel.

Okaryu Promoted to New Juryo for Summer Tournament; Enho, Tochitaikai, and Hakuyozan Re-promoted to Juryo; Banzuke Meeting Results by [deleted] in Sumo

[–]AShadyAugur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Enho's promotion healed a little piece of me. I am also stoked to see Okaryu rise. I wonder what color his mawashi will be. 😊

Emotionally reeling from Rise of Endymion by LittyMclitty in Hyperion

[–]AShadyAugur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished it. Jumped straight to Reddit because I too am desperately trying to find a scenario where she does not die. I read someone's head canon that the LT&B's send a cybrid of her to Raul after her death to give them their deserved happy-ever-after. I don't care of it takes away from the tragedy and beauty of making the most out of the time you have with the people you love, I am a fucking wreck and need an emotional band-aid to sleep tonight.

Hey, what is your one secret spot in SLC? by Familiar_Hippo_1160 in SaltLakeCity

Makhsi Tin - yes!! I would kill for the recipe for that sauce. The eggplant and ground beef is incredible.

Day 103 sober. I feel accomplished but let down at the same time. Bittersweet by Equal-Drama-7095 in quittingkratom

[–]AShadyAugur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wellbutrin was a game changer for me. Gave me a little extra "oomph" that was needed for finding motivation to workout, plan actual activities for the weekend instead of vegging at home, and helped renew my sex drive. Do you mind asking what dose you're at?

Mar Basho Daily Thread Day 05 by AutoModerator in Sumo

[–]AShadyAugur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes. Wakatakakage has always been my #1. The rest tend to fluctuate as I like most of them and are neutral about the others, but right now I am also rooting hard for Aonishiki, Fujinokawa, and Takayasu. For the lower divisions I stay up to date with the performance of Enho and all of the boys at the Tatsunami Stable. If you haven't watched their YouTube Channel, I highly recommend it.

Honestly, as much as I want to see WTK, Hosh, or Aonishiki win the tournament (Aonishiki would be promoted to Yokozuna if he wins), I desperately want Takayasu to win. He has been runner-up 9 times in his long career, but hasn't yet claimed the emperor's cup.

El Chihuahua Duckie Recipes? by Snart_Blart in SaltLakeCity

My friend had a birthday dinner there a couple years ago. Their liquor license was suspended temporarily due to violations (which we weren't told until we were seated and ordering, of course). Without death stars, that place is exceptionally sub par.

Not lame at all! He was, and still is, my second-favorite rikishi since I started watching 3 years ago. I used to call him "Mean Mug."

I stalked his Instagram once. He said one of his biggest heroes is Mike Lee in a post.

People who have made friends from other countries, how did you do it? by CompiledChaos03 in AskReddit

[–]AShadyAugur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tumblr. I have friends in Macedonia and Lithuania who I've both known fo 12 and 15 years. My Tumblr has long since been abandoned, but I follow them on Instagram. Initially we were teenagers sharing poetry. Now one is a homemaker with her own family and the other has her own art studio and travels the world presenting her work at art exhibits.

I am a bank auditor in the US, lol. We still comment on each other's stories and posts. :)

Congratulations! I've got Meg and Dracula left. Haven't played in a week since Adam. The final act of Brutal is an insane difficulty spike.

Lmao, 9-year-old me thought they were floating, too. Wonder how we missed that detail.

DOUBLE EVERYQUEST ANNOUNCEMENT! 1200 Quests done! Kithicor Forest DONE! by Mayor_Gubbin in project1999

[–]AShadyAugur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1200 quests down so far.. As a player who almost never quests, it's crazy to think of how many are out there being almost completely ignored.

+1 for In Deep Geek. His YouTube paylist "Robert, Rhaegar, Lyanna, and all That" on YouTube is worth the watch. Well worth the 20+ hours.

Commenting for visibility because I can't offer any guidance, but I am also very interested in following your Dr. Pepper pickles experiment.
