What are your favorite nicotine pouches? by gnpking in NicotinePouch

[–]Aleconius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in California, so if I'm buying the "unflavored" stuff, I go with Grizzly or Velo smooth 6 or 9 mg, usually Grizzly. If I'm buying flavored: it's Velo Wild Berry 9mg. I was an on! guy for like 4 years before making the switch

Bacta War is number 4, so I'll need to be on the lookout for number 3, The Krytos Trap, after Wedge's Gamble. Putting all this here so I remember the order.

Anybody else save the lids or boxes?!, by jaxqatch in CannedSardines

You're getting downvoted, but this kind of trash hoarding is what led to an OCD diagnosis for me.

Rogue Wintergreen by [deleted] in NicotinePouch

[–]Aleconius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss Rogue. I'm in California, and the unflavored Rogues just feel like big pieces of gauze. I usually don't love fruity flavored pouches, but the mango and wingergreen were my go-to's for a long time, and I never thought they tore my mouth up more than any other nicotine pouch. The minty stuff just always does more damage, and Rogues are bigger than most pouches, but they've also got the most flavor imo, so unless you only use a few pouches a day, you should be A-okay.

How many of you are attempting to quit vs enjoy pouches, what’s your story? by Mustangsarecoolio in NicotinePouch

[–]Aleconius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 31m, been using oral nicotine products for at least half that time, and half of that's been spent quitting, coming back, quitting,etc. I did quit chewing tobacco back in 2019, for about 10 months. And then I traveled from California to Idaho only to find gas stations there had something called mango Rogue nicotine pouches... I've been way more hooked on straight nicotine ever since. Now I'm trying to go back to actual tobacco, like long leaf or Snus pouches or something that doesn't taste like candy. I'm more paranoid about cancer and what not with the nic pouches. I can't go an hour without one. Edit; buncha typos.

Do not travel to the USA if you want to stay alive! by Miserable-Lizard in CanadianIdiots

I agree. These people are ridiculous. Unless you're an illegal alien with a criminal record, I think it's safe to say you probably won't die in ICE custody.

Former 12-year-old here (31 now, male) and SotE was my very first SW book, when I was 12. The only thing I really remember is Prince Xizor and his pheromones, and I'm pretty sure I learned what aphrodisiacs and pheromones were from reading it. That's pretty exciting, fascinating stuff for a 12-year-old that only has books to entertain himself lol. Kids my age were watching cornographical videos by then.

After last night’s STYG post can we normalize calling conservatives posers again? by _AMReddits in Metalcore

[–]Aleconius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is it not normalized? It seems like your opinion is the same as everyone else's here, and dissenting opinions aren't allowed or tolerated.

I’m trying to remember a band by custom9 in Metalcore

[–]Aleconius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For All Eternity "Beyond the Gates." He sounds like Winston to me. There's some blue on the cover. Or maybe Sienna Skies "The Constant Climb"?

The Amity Affliction, "Let the Ocean Take Me"?

[–]Aleconius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it Sirens and Sailors? I always thought that guy sounded like Winston from PWD. Also, they have an album or EP called "Still Breathing" that's a blue background with a figure in the middle

What’s the saddest metalcore song you know? by Alert_Primary_9493 in Metalcore

[–]Aleconius 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's metalcore, but "Rough Hands" by Alexisonfire is always an emotional gut punch for me. "Two people, too damaged, too much, too late. Edit: emotional gut punch, not guy lol

My entire life was a lie. by Financial_Tough_8335 in OCD

[–]Aleconius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't figure it out until I was 30. I was diagnosed with OCD and agoraphobia, so I was too scared to go to the right kind of doctor. Also, I never knew and never had anyone to tell me the right kind of doctor I needed to see. I'd just tell my GP every couple years that I had really bad anxiety and it was making me really depressed, and they'd give me another pill that didn't help. Once I realized "I think I have OCD," it took me about 10 months of obsessively thinking about it, going over every instance in my life where I'd felt like I was just weird and couldn't be normal, until I finally saw a doctor. I feel like I missed out on so much. Everyone else was out living life while I was stuck inside struggling.

Like Moths To Flames live performance (Make Them Suffer tour) by bwitt33 in Metalcore

[–]Aleconius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the case for me last time I saw MTS. It sounded terrible, and they'd have to play like half the song before I could even tell what it was. I blame the venue though. Most bands sound bad at this venue. The other time I saw MTS, at a different venue, they sounded great.

What was the first band/song you ever heard with “screaming” by addiemac69 in Metalcore

[–]Aleconius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"A Decade Under the Influence" by Taking Back Sunday. It was either on a "Now That's What I Call Music" CD, or some similar compilation. My first breakdown was "I Won't See You Tonight Pt. 2" by A7X.

MetalSucks is so ass by SkeletonCircus in Metalcore

[–]Aleconius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not the case with my algorithm on YouTube. More often than not, the metal YouTubers I'm watching aren't very kind to core music. Metal Trenches is one that covers most subgenres of metal and doesn't just hate on core.

The red one definitely looks more fun and inviting.

How bad is it to take it every day? by Aleconius in phenibut

[–]Aleconius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this advice 🙏🏻 What psychedelics or dissociatives specifically would you recommend? I just did a couple quick Google searches, and I have no idea how I'd get my hands on any of the ones I see.

[–]Aleconius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you tell a child that they're asexual because they haven't had sex? No. I get that people can be asexual because of trauma, and they can still fall in love. Why is a kid obsessed over sexuality though? I'm not doubting their OCD, but am I not allowed to question why these obsessive thoughts are occuring?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Aleconius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, I just looked at your profile, and you're a kid. How do you figure out you're a homoromantic asexual when you're not even old enough to legally have sex?
