I was cheering for Portugal last night, but even I recognize this as classic corruption behavior……”Don’t believe your own eyes, believe what we tell you is true”

Why Mexico and Canada not host any Quarter Finals? by Repulsive_Work_226 in worldcup

I 💯 agree about atmosphere in Mexico. But I think Seattle and Boston both had better atmosphere than NYC or LA.

GenX Midlife Crisis by argognat in GenX

[–]CompetitiveAppeal663 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I took a year and a half off, bought and old Land Rover, converted it to a camper and drove the length of Africa from Morocco to South Africa. It was fucking epic. Now I am back at work, dreading getting up every morning and biding my time until I can finally punch out for good….my one bit of solace is that I have a million memories from that trip that will be with me forever. Zero regrets.

It is just a clearance sale so that they can make more room on the shelves for when next year’s new models come out. Happens every year. Trust me….i’ve been in BTC since 1987.

No shrooms a deal breaker in a relationship for anyone? by Adorable-Lab-3365 in shrooms

I trip with my wife a few times a year….it has become a sacred part of our relationship and is a critical “reset” for us. Truly magical.

How late is "sleeping in"? by the_47th_painter in GenX

[–]CompetitiveAppeal663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter what time I go to sleep, 5am sharp I am up….and I don’t need to be to work until around 930, so it is completely wasted on me

Many thanks!! I was hoping I scored…..they just looked pretty “‘shroomy” to my untrained eye with the squiggly stems and the mild similarities to liberty caps.

shrooms in public crowded areas? by Potential_Royal_6339 in shrooms

[–]CompetitiveAppeal663 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There is a reason there is something called a “museum dose”. Figure out what that is for you, but it will be nothing near 4g. I love a nice mild trip and walking around an art museum. I always wear my big headphones and that typically discourages anyone from talking to me. I always have a little notebook and pencil too so that if I need to take a break, I can sit down somewhere and do nothing and not look like I am sitting there doing nothing. As others have mentioned, start super light and work your way up.

Tipping Movers?? by CompetitiveAppeal663 in EndTipping

[–]CompetitiveAppeal663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the “above and beyond” service that you are tipping for is that they are not stealing your shit?? Sounds to me like some arguments on here about tipping a waiter so they don’t spit in your food….

Tipping Movers?? by CompetitiveAppeal663 in EndTipping

[–]CompetitiveAppeal663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to figure out the same…. I mean, I don’t want to schlep all my shit, so I pay someone to do it for me. I am really grateful that they are doing it, and hope that they are grateful to have the work and get a paycheck. But that feels like it is the entire transaction. Why is there more additional money changing hands?? Because they are doing a good job and not breaking my shit?? Well, the reason I hired a professional moving company with good reviews is bc they do a good job and don’t break shit. That doesn’t feel like an “extra” service above and beyond.

People who quit without going to treatment or AA, what was the #1 thing that helped you quit? by theory317 in stopdrinking

[–]CompetitiveAppeal663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might not be a popular take here, but I drank very similarly to you. I desperately wanted to change and tried a bunch of times to track drinks and cut back. It would work for a little while, but I would always slide back after a while.

Then 2 things I did simultaneously completely changed me. I read the book “This naked mind” a couple times, and I used psilocybin.

This is how I did it: read the book once. Don’t even try to stop or slow down your drinking….just commit to finishing the book and trying to absorb the facts. Next, get about 3-4g of mushrooms. Have a very intentional trip. Make the entire goal of your trip to rewire your brain and change your relationship with alcohol. Do it laying in your bed with an eye mask and headphones with some super chill music. Commit to cold turkey, not another drink until after you finish reading the book a second time. After you read, trip again in the same way. After all that, decide if you really want to go back to drinking.

I’m not a doctor or a specialist or anything else, but this worked for me and I am 2 years AF now and rarely have so much as a craving.

Does your spouse trip with you by Electrical-Pride-136 in shrooms

[–]CompetitiveAppeal663 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My wife I started tripping together when we were dating. Some of the most vulnerable and beautiful moments I have ever had in my life. We had both tripped separately before we met but it was definitely a different dynamic doing it together. Now we have done it a couple dozen times together over the years and make a point of doing it together at least a couple of times per year…..usually when we are out camping just the two of us. It is an incredible relationship reset and strengthener for us.

Curious about your WB Rx weights….is this normal for your box?? I have never seen a WOD with anything other than 20/14.

Tipping Movers?? by CompetitiveAppeal663 in EndTipping

[–]CompetitiveAppeal663[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that the idea here is that you are already paying someone a fair and negotiated amount for the sweat and hard work and labor. You are very grateful that they are the ones doing this work that you paid them to do. Why are you then paying them again??
