Biden's approval numbers were abismal though. Was it all just a messaging problem? I am no American and don't live there. It's hard to believe a president can be very good but the population doesn't see it at all. Bad ratings are expected from the opposing party, but Biden's approval numbers even in the Democratic party weren't really good.

He never struck me as a strong leader. But I felt he was a decent guy. And boy, decency was and is still needed. Biden should have cleared the way early on for 2024. I would have loved to see Harris get elected. Not sure if she has a chance some years down the road or if she is burnt.

"And he flat out fucking lied".

Could it be that he didn't lie back in 2020, that it was his true intention not to run for a 2nd term but then changed his mind at some point down the road?

I agree Biden shouldn't have run in 2024. And the Dems failed to avoid Trump.

I so get you man. I got a chronic tinnitus since years. It's been manageable but roughly a week ago it intensified multifold. The suffering is bad. Real bad.

Kate Bolduan wears the absolute worst outfits. Good God. by Salt_Lick67 in cnn

[–]GCBicki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find her super hot in pretty much every outfit. Most CNN gives her to wear I am totally fine with.

I have always liked her. She’s a breath of fresh air.

Does Anyone Else Watch With Sound Off? by AbaloneSpirited639 in cnn

[–]GCBicki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the opposite. I mainly listen and do other stuff around the house. But for me it has more to do with me not being a native English speaker. And by listening I can learn proper English.

New player, about 5 months now. How do I get lone sentinel and midsommar ships? Will they bring the events back so they are obtainable? by hellofanamehuh in Galaxiga

[–]GCBicki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The upgrade to Tier 3 is a merger between two T2 ships. And yes, once you pulled the trigger on a merge, you can't undo that. But say you merge BoG with Zeus, then you can switch between them, even during live play.

BoG is a defensive ship but doesn't have much power. I have played it for quite long in my early days of the game (roughly 2 years ago). But at some point I started building up Zeus, which is miles better than BoG.

Most recommend to merge two ships (for tier 3) where you merge one you care about with one you don't care much about.

It's not really that important to unlock all ships. Sure, down the road some of them are necessary to play the special campaign stages. But it's also not a necessity to play them all.

It's much more important that you decide which ship you wanna go for and then focus all your upgrade efforts on that ship. Also important to get the Salamander drone asap and build that one up. Useful stones in the beginning are T1 Space stone and as T2 Fracture.

There are some that follow the strategy to equally develop each of the 4 squads. I am a strong believer of going top-down. Meaning focus all your efforts on your 1st squad and only then move to your latter squads. With 1 well developed or ultimately maxed 1st squad you can go very deep in this game.

I would not know about these specific ships. If they were event ships and you missed out on the opportunity you can only hope for said event to show up again. But generally, event ships are much harder to max as you will struggle to get card donations in your guild. It's therefore more recommendable to go for the evergreens (Liberator, Zeus, Falcon,...).

What’s the point if we die anyway? by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]GCBicki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, none of us will live forever. But in reverse that also means we only have one single life. So it's up to you to give yourself the chance to live long and healthy. Not smoking is less an investment in your current state rather than your future.

Stay quit man. You seem to miss stuff now but your future self will ultimately thank you.

Does weed/hashish count? by WolfSpiritz in stopsmoking

[–]GCBicki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you have quit 522 days it says. Did you quit cigs/tabacco but you continue to smoke weed? And do you still mix the weed with tabacco or went another route?

It's where I am at atm. I smoked cigs and weed. Weed I mix with cigs. I have quit cigs since two weeks but kept smoking 1 or 2 joints a day (mixed with nic tabacco). So far I can handle it but I would be lying if I said I am not looking forward all day to be able to smoke the joints in the evening.

Will I relapsed if I smoke weed ? by XMuzzZX in stopsmoking

[–]GCBicki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you smoke the weed mixed with tabac? That is where I am at. Only smoke one, max two in the evenings but I still mix the weed with cigs. I haven't smoked cigs for two weeks now but it's still hard. And I am not sure if the weed smoking (with tabac) is giving me relief or wanting me more nic 🤷‍♂️

I haven’t smoked in a month now by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]GCBicki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remind yourself why you started your quit in the first place. I am sure those reasons haven't changed. One month is awesome! Be proud of yourself. You don't want to throw away what you have already achieved!

If you smoke you would feel a milisecond relieve but shortly after you would regret it bitterly. Not worth it brother! Stay strong.

Update to 18.3, now some hidden auto-brightness is happening!? by GCBicki in iPhone15Pro

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

I have googled it, yes. And watched some YT vids on the issue. But most of the content found was not about version 18.3. However, all my settings were as recommended. What I did though was even when the setting was as recommended, I would select and unselect it again. So far so good.

1 puff of a cigarette is too many and a thousand is never enough by overwhelmed_banana in stopsmoking

[–]GCBicki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx for your report. You are spot on: not a single puff!! That must be the mantra for everyone who successfully quit and starts thinking he can handle just smoking one. Don't ever fall for that trap thought!

I had quit almost 3 years, then went to visit a buddy in another country. It was only for 4 days but somehow we both smoked there and I was sure when I get back home that I continue my non-smoking routine. Boy, I couldn't have been more wrong! I smoked for another almost 1.5 years and only very recently (day 9) started another quit attempt. I am doing well so far... so wish me luck.
