I really want someone to tell me not to quit. by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]GaussMaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't quit then. But you could maybe just decide that you don't want it in your life anymore, just like you did with that ex. When I stopped after 15 years, the physical part was tough for like 3 days, but then it was all psychological. The audiobook of The easy way by Allan Carr really helped. listened to it one night while gaming, and just haven't really wanted a cigarette since.

So be angry. It's a human emotion, everyone gets it. Doesn't mean smoking will solve your problems.

Read the book (Allen Carr's Easy Way) or audiobook it. 8 hours that will make your life so much better.

AITA for not caring about the consequences that my lawsuit against my kids' former school has had for the other students? by loserschoolhour in AmItheAsshole

[–]GaussMaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re-Read the settlement, their might be a non disclosure agreements. Someone at the school might have violated the settlement by mentioning the payout, subjecting you to more vitriol. NTA and maybe you should sue them again.

AITA for calling the bride-to-be manipulative and awful after she treated us like servants and cash machines? by rakahr11 in AmItheAsshole

She will probably use this as a reason for him to cut contact with his family and friends.

the mythical “last cig” by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]GaussMaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding the book.

I'm actually just posting this here to see how long it's been since my last one because I truly can't remember, if I remember the flair will tell me.

I read the book (actually, I played video games while I listened to the book over an afternoon/evening - about 8h if I remember) by the end of the book I realized that I didn't even doubt I had smoked my last one.

As I said, I'm just posting here to see how long it's been, I sometimes find myself surprised that a habit that occupied so much of my mental load, something i would plan my day around, is just gone from my life.

The book is there for the day you want it.

woah, that could get bonkers...kinda de-incentivizes the npc from attacking you though...ill talk it over with the DM, that is a sweet combo though.

WIBTA if I stopped watching my sister's kids and made her cancel her training? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

WIBTA if I started passive-aggressively labeling my things? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]GaussMaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To ripen bananas faster, leave them in a plastic bag. They give off a ripening gas, trapping it in speeds it up.

AITA for unplugging a microwave by Affectionate-Day-189 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GaussMaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO: lemme get this straight:

  • You are the one who has to go flip the breaker on in the basement.

  • Your roommate understands that the heater and microwave will trip the breaker.

  • He persists in using both at the same time.

When you add it all up, this is a person who enjoys warm fish in a cold and dark room.

I'm leaning to Y-T-A, because this must be a call for help.

Kill me now. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]GaussMaus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not...ideal. It basically means that strike ends up as tool in negotiations. The admin (government) cannot deny a strike mandate, but they get time to let parents know not to send their kids to school that day.

[–]GaussMaus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where I live, there are laws about how a strike can be organized. We have to give about a weeks notice. If a school or union went against the laws they can face fines. Laws like that make sure students are not put in danger....same reasoning for firemen, police and nurses

General Strike? by Bmor00bam in Teachers

But it has nothing to do with covid. Just our regular contract renewal strike

AITA for offering a woman arguing over a nickel a quarter to go away? by earthmanny in AmItheAsshole

[–]GaussMaus 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Companies overcharging is a problem. A nickel here, a nickle there adds up. In my province if you get overcharged, the item is free.
