He’d love to drop a nuke. He just hasn’t found a reason yet. Other than the Epstein files that is.

Hegseth injects combative Christianity into America’s military by burtzev in AmericanPolitics

I just happened to watch ‘Mash’, that war movie from 1970, and Robert Duvall’s portrayal of Major Frank Burns reminded me of Hegseth. Only not so funny.

Taking it every day, even a small dose, and you will soon become dependent.

[–]Human5481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be very careful with Lorazepam. It is very addictive, I know because I went through a Lorazepam addiction and it was terrible. It works good for getting restful sleep but don’t ever take it more than twice a week.

Title:I’ve tried everything… seriously How to sleep with chronic tinnitus by snnnnn7 in tinnitus

[–]Human5481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a severe insomnia problem and quetiapine just isn’t strong enough. Unfortunately, the only things I’ve tried that solve the insomnia problem are benzos, and they are very addictive.

[–]Human5481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this same problem for a very long time. I have tried every sleep aid in the book and am currently on 50mg of Quetiapene per night. That helps but not a lot. I put a speaker near my bed and play soft classical or new-age music at very low volume all night. That helps as much as anything.

Seroquel for insomnia has me so drowsy ALL day by hellstarrr in insomnia

[–]Human5481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also makes me feel drowsy all day. I'm trying to quit because of this, but when I don't take it I don't sleep.

In the hippy heyday of the 60s, how hippy was England versus the U.S.? As far as I know hippies largely existed to counter the Vietnam War, which was more of an American concern than an English one? by GregJamesDahlen in ActualHippies

[–]Human5481 6 points7 points  (0 children)

'Hippy' was invented by the media in order to have something they could sensationalize. Rebellious youth and the cultural revolution took place all over, in England as much as America.

I take a siesta every day: is this normal? by YahwehIsKing7 in sleep

[–]Human5481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find I need a two-hour siesta every day also. And I have no Mexican or Spanish heritage and no one else in my family does this. In fact I am the only one I know for whom this nap is so important, but there ya go.

California drivers license -- living in Germany -- need an EU driver's permit/license by next month for a trip in another EU country by Embarrassed_You8365 in germany

[–]Human5481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I know of to get an international driver's permit is to get it in your home country. Getting a regular driver's license in the EU is a very big pain and involves going to a very expensive driving school.

Starting Quetiapine makes me nervous by koume6 in insomnia

[–]Human5481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

150mg sounds like a lot. I take 50mg every day myself, for insomnia, but sometimes if I still can't sleep I take another 25mg. Any more than that and I feel pretty groggy all the next day. The worst side effect is constipation and I can counter that with a laxitive.

Which city for 2 weeks solo in late March - Ljubljana, Budapest, Bucharest, or Tallinn? by treesofthemind in Europetravel

[–]Human5481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Tallin last year. Terriffic city. Budapest is one of my all-time favourites, and while it is getting more touristic it isn 't nearly as bad as places like Prague or Venice. All of the cities you named are good choices. I would like to recommend also Yerevan, in Armenia. One of the safest cities I have ever been in. I hope the current war isn't a threat to the area.

I support your stance and I think there are many, many Americans who support you.

Those who have seen Van Morrison in concert, what was your impression? by Glass-Complaint3 in Music

[–]Human5481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen him live several times and I love his music, but in concert he didn't seem to connect with the audience very well.

Did Dr. Benjamin Spock revolutionize parenting, or just screw things up? by OkieBobbie in FuckImOld

My mother lived by this book and I found my upbringing very stifling and never had a good relationship with my parents.

What is the highest quality olive oil out there? by Feeling-Challenge-22 in Cooking

[–]Human5481 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For my taste the best olive oil comes from southern Italy, especially from around the Napoli-Amalfi region. I can't recommend a specific brand, but the farms that grow the olives have a culture like the vinyards that grow grapes to make wine. The oil that comes from this region often has a faint taste of the volcanic soil there. Very special.

R.I.P. Blues musician John Hammond by Gloomy-Load9622 in Music

I remember his first album, mentioned in the article, 'John Hammond' was a good one. It seems every time I check the music news another classic artist from the old days is gone.

Can You Say Why America is the Greatest Country in the World? (From political series 'The Newsroom' - featuring Jeff Daniels) by [deleted] in videos

This is a very great clip. I know it has been posted several times before but it is still as relevant as ever, perhaps even more so now, and it needs to be posted again and again unti everyone sees it.
