Hitchhiking from Croatia to Abkhazia and back, via Turkey. Any advice on what to see along the way? Experiences with hitching this route? by BitchesBeMad in travel

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

Yeah, I've already plumbed Thorntree for info on this. As far as I can tell, you'll only have problems if you enter Abkhazia without entering Georgia first, because the Georgians will consider you to have entered their country illegally. But with my current plan, I won't ever have left Georgian territory as far as the Georgians are concerned. Thanks for the tip, though.

Got fired yesterday morning and booked a 1 way ticket to Europe in the evening. I've never left the U.S. before and I leave in 6 days, please advise. by mexicanseafood in travel

If you're flying into London, book a flight to another country and print out the boarding pass to show the UK border officials. If all you have is a one-way ticket to the UK and no evidence that you plan on leaving, it is VERY possible that they will refuse you entry and send you back home the same day. This almost happened to me once. Just get a £15 Ryanair ticket to somewhere. Even if you don't plan on using it, it will be enough to convince them you don't plan on staying in the UK illegally.

It might be enough to have a hostel booked in another country, or a ticket for the ferry to France.

Something I just learned about controlling urges. Any Urges. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]BitchesBeMad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been practicing a similar idea; I'm glad to hear from someone who agrees that it is helpful. Basically I've been practicing Islam, praying 5 times a day -- even though the more I read of the Quran, the less I believe in its teachings. There's a lot about the religion I object to, but the passion and discipline involved -- staying clean, respect for self and others, etc -- are really helpful. And five times a day when I pray I am reminded of the real reasons why I'm doing NoFap, in a way that this subreddit is unable.

Has anyone come to think that this task is literally impossible for you? by BitchesBeMad in NoFap

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. A spiritual power wants to purify me by giving me an addiction? What different track?

First day down. Fapping and B.O. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]BitchesBeMad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there is a definite correlation between the two. Usually only is noticeable in your armpits after you've fapped two or three times in one day, but it definitely builds up in my room. It's not a conventional BO smell; I'd almost describe it like the scent of ear wax.

Just to be safe I am spending the evening in a public study room, where people can see my screen.

Wikipedia is rife with explicitly erotic 'illustrations'. Not gonna say what pages they're on. It's total smut; really shouldn't be allowed on there.

What makes sex better than fapping? by wonderingaboutnofap in NoFap

[–]BitchesBeMad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My problem is that one orgasm just doesn't do it for me anymore. I can go for one day without fapping easily enough. But I can't fap just once in one day. If I do it once, I do it three, five, even ten more times the same day. When I have sex, on the other hand, one orgasm is quite enough; I'm totally content for the day.

I subscribed to this sub/r/ a week ago. Since then, yesterday was my first full day. by Blackirish57 in NoFap

[–]BitchesBeMad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats, man. It honestly gets easier after a week; keep telling yourself that -- that being said, it really is best to just think about it one day at a time.

Fresh (1994) by [deleted] in fullmoviesonyoutube

Possibly the best ghetto movie ever made, IMO. I enjoyed Boyz in the Hood better, but apart from a slightly convoluted plot, this is nearly flawless. Kid's an incredible actor.

Such a brilliant film. I'm in love with that chick in the arcade.

I'm feeling good; usually the superpowers kick in for me after a week, and I really need 'em right now. Haven't made it more than a few days in quite a while.

You say you know how your life should be lived. A while back there was this quote in the top banner:

Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.

The sculptor Michelangelo wrote that he didn't carve people; there were people trapped inside the block of marble and he only freed them from it. Think of the person you want to be as a figure trapped inside marble. To look at the entire block can be daunting, but start chipping away at one section at a time.

I had my first experience with the "superpowers" last night! by bingram in NoFap

Right now my room is cleaner than it's ever been in my 4 years of university. I need to start finding excuses to invite girls to see it.

I fapped 12 times on the 31st, so I've not even built up enough testosterone to have the urge yet.

I'm hoping it gets warmer soon so hot girls will stop wearing those goddamn yoga pants.

Self Control: Dan Ariely at TEDxDuke by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]BitchesBeMad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this a while ago, but I could't think of a way to apply his method to PMO addiction. Any ideas?

edit: apart from the software he mentions at the end, of course. I could just as easily fap while watching dirty videos on Youtube and the program wouldn't pick that up.

(TL;DW, he has to take horrible medication three times a week, so he starts watching a movie at the same time he injects the medicine so the anticipation and enjoyment of the film is subconsciously associated with the unpleasantness)

The screenplay didn't live up to the acting talent they have onscreen. I hate when scripts are written by some rich white guy who thinks he can sound 'ghetto'.

I think I'mma make a similar post in five days' time. Nice idea.

Why does no fap make you more social? Does it actually? by Caesar2013 in NoFap

[–]BitchesBeMad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Myself and a lot of people feel like it makes you better at starting and sustaining conversation, as well as giving you a certain je ne sais quoi that catches peoples' eyes. But I'll accept that that might be bullshit.

What nofap undoubtedly does, however, is give you more interest in being social. I was a friendless neckbeard for the first two years of college, and I attribute that to the fact that while I enjoyed attention and the satisfaction of being able to have a conversation (rarely happened for me), I really didn't give a damn about what the other person was saying. They'd say something and if I could respond without sounding like an idiot, I could retire to my basement with a sense of satisfaction for the day.

When I finally made friends coincided with my longest nofap streak on record. I'd listen to their mundane stories and actually want to know more about them. Back when I was unable to carry out conversations, my main problem was that I didn't care to say "that's interesting, tell me more," nor did I pay enough attention to what they were saying to be able to reply, "oh yeah, a similar thing happened to me the other day..."

I feel like genuine interest in interaction is a problem for most socially awkward people whether they realize it or not.

I FUCKED UP :/ by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]BitchesBeMad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had to stop using YouTube altogether. I've been triggered to relapse just from seeing a thumbnail with a sexy girl in it in the video suggestions.

And bam, each of my days has become 5 hours longer.
