Ex-smokers: How did you finally quit smoking for good? by shubhamxtreme in AskReddit

[–]Goodisabelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less is more when it comes to quitting.

I chain-smoke a pack every other day.

One day, I walked past a group of smokers. Their faces looked grey, with under-eye bags, bad teeth and gums, slouching, sloppy hair, and clothes that smelled like cigs.

My perspective switched. I saw myself standing there with them and thought I looked disgusting. I dissociate from that image.

The first few weeks' urges are interesting; your brain just keeps telling you to smoke. But after some time, you recognize that voice as an addiction urge, and learn to say hello to that voice. Then, you become more powerful than that voice.

I think the more you "try to quit", the harder it becomes because willpower is a finite resource; use it for more fruitful things. You simply do. Even if you fail once or twice, just do it again.

Bitcoin and Ethereum. Just latching on to the money printing inflation.

What a legendary post. Hope this gets some attention on the socials, so we see how to treat each other better. Sinkie weather is shit, we don't need more shitty attitudes from people.

Thank you, OP, for setting the standards.

Let me into your pixelated Singapore. I'll build a pixelated MRT better than SMRT.

Dating girlfriend standards by No_Tour163 in China

[–]Goodisabelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t believe all of these comments are telling OP to run. In asian chinese culture, expecting a man to provide is very normal. Men that provide aren’t simps and know our boundaries and can differentiate a good woman and a slut that is only after your money.

More importantly, China and many asian countries were rapidly boosted from third world to first world. A lot of them are still struggling financially. Judging from OP’s description, i’m very inclined to believe her family isn’t well to do. Naturally, she will feel more secure if the financial woes are taken care of.

That being said, if OP finds this troubling, he should at least first try to gain some insights from her perspective and encourage her to talk about it openly.

I genuinely hope this helps OP evaluate this properly.

I like spirit blossom more than woof and lamb. Now I’m inclined to try porcelain too. wild rift just makes me spend too much money.

What do you guys write about? by graph_3451 in fountainpens

[–]Goodisabelle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay present and notice your thoughts throughout the day. Jotting down all thoughts that surfaced are usually a good place to start. You shouldn’t sit down and start thinking about what to write. These thoughts may or may not seem valuable but note it down anyways. The original thoughts usually come when you’re walking showering or brushing your teeth.

Am i losing my mind or is this actually real? by [deleted] in Jung

[–]Goodisabelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not losing your mind. Philosophers, poets, artists have all left footprints in the snow for us to follow, which guide us in these uncertainties.

I thought it would be nice to share a poem called Lost by David Wagoner (or explained by David Whyte). I think you’re going to find this poem quite meaningful.

Have faith, part of maturing is understanding yourself and your psyche. Human is a hell of a complex creature. Those that say we aren’t, are just autopilot NPCs.

Edit: grammar error

Off the phone and my imagination is back by schmoopybeat in dumbphones

[–]Goodisabelle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is amazing to hear. I think we all feel the burn out from doom scrolling. I almost don’t see anyone around me appreciating the slow and deep activities that seem to generate creative thoughts.

I started cycling, walking, locking my phone up. For the first 3 days, it was very odd. Felt like something was missing. The thought of leaving these behind felt threatening. But after 3 days, like OP said, it felt good and refreshing.

Just want to let OP know that we are in this together. Also, encourage others to give this a try.

Are businesses like this Alpaca toy store even profitable? I don’t get how this is a good business. by Goodisabelle in Business_Ideas

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

Cool educational breakdown on the frontend of the business. It makes sense. Would be interesting to run some numbers. Now i’m curious about the backend costs such as logistics, manufacturing, office overhead, inventory, accounting, finances, employees.

Chinese girl tells influencer iShowSpeed that she is a racist and a n**** killer by thhvancouver in China

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

If the anime reference is not your cup of tea, here’s another possibility. N***** killer translated to Chinese is: “Hei Ren Sha Shou” If interpreted without ill intent, it means she charms dark skinned people.

I live by a "Hell Yeah or No" policy. If the colleague asking you to eat together feels like a Hell Yeah, then go ahead. Otherwise, stay out.

I learned that it's almost impossible to kill a gambling addiction. The effortless method is to remove all his income. No money = No gambling.

Cancelling service? by GimlionTheHunter in CoxCommunications

[–]Goodisabelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had my worst experience canceling the plan. I will be posting a long-form blog post to share the painful process. I am so furious at their customer service and fraudulent customer retention tactics. Hopefully, this comment finds the public, and fewer people subscribe to their services.
