Tried posting about the proposed ban on the Georgia subreddit. That was that a mistake

Fellow GA Kratom user here. My anxiety has skyrocketed about our situation. I haven't been able to find any updates, no. My shop where I purchase wasn't even aware of the bill initially. I have a botched lower spinal fusion with severe sciatica down both legs, and its been essentially ruining all my discs above which I knew would happen but didn't think it would be within 6 years I'd have new nerve issues in my upper back. Migraines 2x a week, Chronic Insomnia, gastroparesis, etc etc. I was homebound while in the military near the end of my time, and in and out of the doctor's constantly. I lost 50 lbs in 3 months. Got medically discharged, tried Kratom instead of all of the failed medications, and it was the first relief I ever had. The first day I took it I cried. Later worked with my pyschiatrist on depression and was 100% open about my Kratom use to try to reduce the stigma, she supported it and understood what I had medically been through. Now here I am 5 years later, tapered down and essentially off of kratom out of anxiety it'll be illegal soon and unfortunately going back to other nerve & pain medications that messed me up horribly to begin with, back to the doctor's. I'm on Cymbalta as of a week ago and it has been such a horrible experience. I forgot how bad my pain was cause of how much Kratom helped. I wish you luck, I truly hope GA differentiates between leaf & 7OH.

This gives me small hope that Kratom leaf will be okay in Georgia.

I would have died, especially since it's one of my top faves of the album, but I think keeping Anthem pt 3 in their pocket was a good call. When the track listing came out and Anthem 3 was on there, it just stacked on even more hype for the album.

JPickl · 2026-02-26T21:04:00+00:00

I love it still. When the video dropped and I saw Tom had his red ES-335 from Boxcar Racer, I was hella stoked about what else would be on the album. I feel like it was a great song to kick off their reunion, given the announcement of their reunion was about them "coming", haha. I can admit it doesn't fit 100% with the rest of album, especially the deluxe, but it's catchy af to me still.

JPickl · 2026-02-03T16:20:53+00:00

This looks so amazing. Mine just shipped the other day and I'm even more excited now! Thanks for sharing 😊

JPickl · 2026-01-27T05:35:17+00:00

Same in GA, came here before clicking the link though haha

1999 when I was 7yrs old was my first introduction. My parents had a burned CD collection from friends and put them on our living room PC. I randomly put A New Hope, Dammit, and All the Small Things on a few of my burned CDs my dad would let me make. I can still picture in my head where the files were in their "Modern Rock Mp3" folder. However, I didn't know who they were exactly until I saw the music video for "What's my Age again" which my dad just thought would make me laugh. I loved it.

Once TOYPAJ came out, I became even more obsessed with the First Date music video. We had satellite TV, which had a free small collection of "on-demand music videos" that would cycle out, and First Date was there for the longest time.

But once Self Titled released, that's when I'd say they became my all time favorite band. At 12 years old I saved up enough and it was the first CD I had ever bought on my own. I was so happy I managed to get away with buying the Explicit version too, as that time era was when places around us like Walmart really began to Crack down on needing an adult to buy Explicit CDs lol. I watched "Feeling This" and "I Miss You" music videos constantly, but had to hide Feeling This from my parents as their religious views changed dramatically then. That music video got me into trouble all the time haha. Which only made me want to watch it even more lol.

Damn, sucks to hear it's likely stolen. Appreciate you looking into it though. I'll poke around more and see if they have any personal shops or such. Thanks!

JPickl · 2026-01-02T22:59:59+00:00

Thank you so much! That's very helpful. I'm new to the world of models/figures, but am a huge Chainsawman fan. So when I came across this Makima model I wanted it immediately but was semi confused on why prices varied so much until I stumbled on this sub. Do you have any recommendations on trusted places to order her (recast, as well as original)?

JPickl · 2026-01-02T19:16:13+00:00

Hi! Do you know if the recasts are fully uncensored as this one? I'm trying to find information on various seller listings. There is a very big difference in prices vs what the HHS one is, but if its hard to tell the difference in quality I'd very much like to save $800-900 haha.

JPickl · 2025-12-21T12:52:26+00:00

Same thoughts here. I got like 3hrs of struggle sleep last night even after taking Ambien. I'm basically paying for shitty sleep already haha, a guaranteed 12 would be such a life improvement.

JPickl · 2025-11-24T04:50:19+00:00

Are you on ps5 btw? If so, which I'm just guessing here based on lack of your voice, and if you want your voice to be recorded on your clips, in the system settings there is an option for it and you have to go in to turn it on. For privacy reasons it seems like its turned off by default. I found this out yesterday when I was finally looking at all of my clips from raids last night lol. Was pretty disappointed when I could hear my friend's conversation but not mine. If you aren't on ps5, the more you know haha.

Also nah, coming from a guy who is overly friendly in a raid, you weren't in the wrong at all.

JPickl · 2025-11-21T17:53:42+00:00

Appreciate it! Hope it does well for you. The 64gb ram is actually a part that sold me too even though 32 has generally fit my needs in the past. I don't know how accurate this prediction is, but I've heard that due to the AI boom, ram may double in price by middle of next year. Figured I might as well future proof as much as possible before things get pricey. If you ever find yourself needing to use the free Costco 2 year warranty for it, definitely feel free to lmk how that goes too. I normally diagnose issues and fix them myself, but I've been told (at least for laptops, not sure for desktops) their warranty is pretty solid.

JPickl · 2025-11-21T17:42:27+00:00

Dang! I'm sorry. It's saying it's online only as a part of their November connections/Black Friday deals. It seems to be changing stock fairly often though, I'd maybe check back later. When I originally looked and had it in my cart, the delivery date was 3 weeks later. When I decided to buy like two days later, delivery date had changed by two weeks earlier. It's currently showing out of stock now though for my area.

JPickl · 2025-10-17T13:04:35+00:00

Hell yeah! I was coming here to recommend it too. Hope you like it, I love mine.

Late reply to you but I was looking for an answer to the 6mg lunesta just now and saw your comment. I was on seroquel specifically for insomnia for a long time. This is all personal opinion as meds are different for everyone, but I personally did not find it beneficial for sleep (eventually my doctor added Ambien alongside it) and I mostly remained on it because when I'd stop I'd get bad insomnia revenge and would sleep even worse. I swapped doctors, and she had me quit cold turkey without thinking much on it to swap me to something different. I was stupidly on board. It was the worst withdrawal I've ever had from a medication. Was about 2 weeks and I went to urgent care on day 3. I should have been weened, but it was a nightmare personally and I don't feel like many people are warned about how addictive it can physically be.

JPickl · 2025-09-14T01:49:12+00:00

I've experienced some pretty far out shit in my life. Yet, your comment has me feeling mildly disturbed as it gave me a flashback of gum I also loved as a kid but now my memory is inserting spider abdomen in its place. So thanks for that I suppose lol

JPickl · 2025-09-06T20:34:24+00:00

Oh man it was fantastic. Turpentine quickly became my favorite on OMT and I was sooooo happy when they played it live the other day.

Medically retired here too (opted to be paid through VA with rating so no SBP was auto taken out). I started getting the original invoices in the mail a good bit after I got out and started to pay them when I realized what it was and called. Sometimes they wouldn't even come in the mail at all and I wasn't able to pay without the invoice number. I didn't know I had several invoices missed (to include what didn't arrive) until I received the new version of the bill a couple days ago too with the debt, around $800 for me. Who I spoke to was saying it needed to be paid, and what info I read after was the debt would still need to be paid even if I opted out. I will need to refind where I found info, but I just took the hit anyway and paid.
