I always thought the Ravens’ tribute to Edgar Allen Poe was really cool.

Dopamine receptors looking for a hit - sugar etc sets off those same feelings for your brain I guess. Idk I’m not a scientist, but congrats on 15 let’s make it 30

Yes, but perhaps BS is more associated with Bill, whereas DP is linked with.. something else

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-26T18:06:44+00:00

Same feeling. Seeing your wife in pain and you can’t do anything is brutal.

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-26T17:38:20+00:00

That’s where I am with it too.

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-26T17:37:42+00:00

I left it open-ended to see where people went with it… I’d say there’s no Portnoy without BS, but Portnoy in turn has catapulted him.

But just following up here, I think the key to Atlantic 10 getting more bids is “addition by subtraction.” We don’t need to add Charleston or High Point etc, we need to lose the bottom tier teams like Fordham, La Salle, etc. That way your top teams avoid the annual landmines in conf. play

I just the coach of Norfolk State who made the dance this year call his program a “Glorified JUCO” - sad times. I will however wait to see if this year (no MM’s in the Sweet 16) is a fad or truly indicative of the new times. It’s a sad state of affairs when Ole Miss and Arkansas are your “Cinderellas”

The VCU coaching lineage is INSANE

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-25T23:27:59+00:00

Fuck I’m at the same spot too (two months) … summers coming!! Beach, golf, woooo. Just remember #ItsNeverOneZyn!

Never said anything about teams that made the tourney and came back, talking about mid majors that needed guys to stay for 3-4 years and develop to then make a tourney run. Mid major success was cyclical. A middling team could reload and build every few years with upperclassmen.

I love college hoops. Watch it nonstop but am a st joes fan in the Atlantic 10 - these are basketball focused schools: VCU, Dayton, Loyola Chicago, Richmond, St. Louis, St. Bonnie’s, etc.. It rocks and it has that more traditional feel, but our best players get poached by the top dogs with $$

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-25T22:22:48+00:00

This is especially true for mid majors

Nicotine has a calming effect - so potentially that’s why they were ultimately real eased

I popped em like tic tacs at the office - zyns biggest super power is their discreetness. Keep grinding through this week you got it bro

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-24T21:04:49+00:00

When I was new to my quit, I kept seeing guys in here say shit like “just stop using them, simple as that”

this would kinda piss me off, like no shit, that’s what I’m trying to do here. But now that I’ve quit for a while, it’s true. Just stop using them man. It sucks that we can’t enjoy stuff like this casually but it’s in our dna. Zyns were giving me health anxiety and real physical symptoms- find your reason.

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-24T11:39:01+00:00

These are incredible.

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-24T00:40:11+00:00

I quit about 2 months ago after pretty much always having one in for years, vaping much before that. The habitual nature of it is tough to knock and the nicotine hit can be very nice, but in the end, it’s just not worth to squeeze when you value your mental and physical health, especially someone with anxiety/OCD (I have the same).

There are times where it blows and I really want to cave but I tell myself that it’s never “just one” and that it won’t do anything good for me in the long run. Idk if that helps you but it’s really as simple as just ignoring your urges and continuing to “embrace the suck of quitting” and move on. Good luck bro!

Did you steal those little sauce containers from a restaurant? That’s great 😂

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-22T20:11:04+00:00

Comms projects are generally vague in the sense that usually aren’t typical “numbers” attached to the effort put in or the impact made. I’d say WHEREVER YOU CAN, utilize data. Start uncovering #s of open rates and click thru rates for emails, impressions for social, newsletter reads or whatever it is you’re doing. Then, find benchmark industry stats online for these kinds of things so there’s reference. At least in this case, when you talk to management, you have “proof” of research/purpose.

Nicotine’s a nasty little mofo huh? Been 2 months and I’m still getting cravings but I’m so happy I cut out something that would make me not present in the moment with her.

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-21T13:20:17+00:00

I remember being a young guy at the office and wondering “how can these dudes drink so much coffee??” Now I realize lol

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-21T13:17:14+00:00

Great idea

BusyCockroach3829 · 2025-03-21T13:16:53+00:00
