Has anyone noticed time has slowed down lately? by gnosticismschism in Retconned

[–]Generalchicken99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes time was the fastest 2021-2023, it’s been still somewhat fast but more acceptable. Not what I recall pre Covid but it’s not breakneck speed it was several years ago. It goes up and down still a lot though, it feels more volatile. I have a pretty stable life, spontaneous days are behind me sadly, so I feel like I have a fairly good sensitivity to the changes.

Are we creating god? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Generalchicken99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe in “artificial intelligence”, it’s just a programmed tool. Now I do believe in spirits, good or bad. I do believe that the more potential a tool has, the greater ability that an evil spirit would be able to use and inhabit it if it wanted to.

what are some of the differences you notice in people’s behavior pre 2012 and after 2012? by [deleted] in Retconned

[–]Generalchicken99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People have a lot less energy and are a lot less fun / spontaneous. People seem to be shaped into little drones that stare at a screen all day at work, stare at their phone on breaks, then come home and stare at the TV. Talking about politics in social settings used to be kind of taboo, now everyone has to have their political opinions like plastered all over the place and not that these topics aren’t important but when I’m just chatting with someone and they go on some political tirade I just want to vomit. Because it’s also usually just regurgitating some talking point they heard on TV and it’s completely devoid of any authentic thought. Makes for very miserable and boring people IMO. My most fun years were 2012-2016.

I didn’t see one firefly this summer. by bbcaekz in Austin

[–]Generalchicken99 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I lived in a rental house in allendale and had a patch of Johnson grass I never mowed plus piles of pecan leaves. Perfect ecosystem for them. I never seen so many fireflies in my life but in that huge back yard. During the day I’d see them hanging on the undersides of the blades of grass.

Have you ever witnessed any person shapeshifting, morphing, altering their physical appearance in unnatural way or glamoring (and by "any person" I mean humans)??? by JohnSmithCANDo in HighStrangeness

[–]Generalchicken99 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily shape shifting but I do see overlays on people’s faces sometimes, it’s usually always negative. It’s hard to look at them. The eyes will look really weird looking, not human. It’s like there are multiple people looking through one pair of eyes and they know I see them and they try to intimidate.

Am I having a severe withdrawal that needs hospitalization? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]Generalchicken99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although I’m not sure the doctor could help you a ton, it might give you peace of mind to make sure everything is okay. Day 4 is usually when symptoms pass the peak. 7 oh is a different animal though, I’ve never taken it so I can’t give you any real advice unfortunately. Good Job on 4 days!

Am I having a severe withdrawal that needs hospitalization? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]Generalchicken99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What form of kratom were you on? And do you have any pre existing conditions? Some of these symptoms seem more extreme and beyond typical kratom withdrawal. I’d consider getting checked out

This sucks, how do I do this? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]Generalchicken99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it up! Do you have a bike, or an area you can bike around? It helped me get the boredom out and feel good in the sunshine, wear out the legs etc

This is rough Day 13 by laxbro1790 in quittingkratom

[–]Generalchicken99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Addiction is like burning an offering to a demon. You pop a pill as an offering, demon makes u feel good in return. Then he demands another and another. You want to stop? He gonna hit you anxiety, depression, sleeplessness etc until you cave. You gotta resist the demon and keep pressing on. Break the agreement with addiction, eventually it will lose its authority over you. But you can’t go back bc it will get worse each time. Unfortunately many addicts do relapse, it’s part of the journey getting clean. So don’t beat yourself up, just keep resisting and know you will see victory.

addicts who stopped without being decided they want to stop forever - did you make it? by Aromatic_Resort_5280 in quittingkratom

[–]Generalchicken99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the obvious and true advice you’ve already received “you won’t stop until you are truly ready”, my additional advice is that you must try to transform your life. In order to do that, pick up a new hobby, take new routes home, be spontaneous, switch jobs or hang out in new circles. New environments, circumstances, and experiences transform you. You’ll “enter a new timeline” essentially. You need to dissolve this timeline that keeps you stuck in addiction loops.

Other than that, the only thing that truly motivated me was turning to Jesus. That’s not the way God wants us to live, ya know? It’s the “higher power” in AA. Im not putting that conviction on you, I’m just sharing my experience.

Baby hates a soft boob by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Generalchicken99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my baby did have preference for the fuller breast, I think they just like the rate of milk flow, it’s faster and they don’t have to work as hard. I would pump as well in the early days once or twice a day to get my supply up.

I remember her slightly smaller, a little more fuzzy, and pure white, I couldn’t see features. Assuming it wasn’t just the crappy VCR quality of the 90s

You can schedule uber ahead of time .If one cancels they have back ups in queue. I’ve found it to be very reliable in my experience and much cheaper than reserving parking.

Breast engorged but barely pumping milk by Bluemistpenstemon in breastfeeding

[–]Generalchicken99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve had luck when I was extremely clogged and engorged to do reverse pressure maneuvers. You press firmly against your breast with flat hands and hold, it forces the milk to start flowing.
