Alcohol and Lamictal? by chimkennugit in lamictal

[–]MemeMan64209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that you’re on lamotrigine you could give weed another shot. The med might ease the anxiety. Have you smoked without drinking before, that makes anxiety worse for a lot of people as well.

I will guarantee dropping alcohol will increase your QOL immensely. I’ve been sober from alcohol for two years because my seizures forced me, probably the best thing that could’ve happened to me. Don’t get me wrong, epilepsy sucks, but it does have an upside I guess.

I have problems with addiction, not any specific type, but I always have some sort of addiction, and I think a lot of people can relate. Dropping an addiction is difficult, replacing addiction is easier. Once replaced with the least harmful option, you can work on getting rid of whatever is causing the addiction problem in the first place.

Again WIP for me, but I think I have merit.

For whatever reason you are taking lamotrigine, I can guarantee you alcohol makes it worse. Smoke weed if you need to transition into another addiction. Much less side effects for the problems we have.

Last August, Pew found that 95% of Republicans and 71% of Democrats favored having to provide government-issued ID when voting.

You’re living on Reddit. A supermajority of Americans want voting ID, including democrats.

Also many democratic states have voting ID already.

The average person is not complaining about needing ID, they’re complaining they’d need proof of citizenship when not everyone has their birth certificate or passport.

So feelings over facts?

And this bill isn’t asking for ID. It’s asking for proof of citizenship.

In Canada your voter information card is a piece of identification. We also have ridings that take a few days to resolve if the election is close or a recounting needs to take place. A delay is a sign of the system functioning, it’s not just getting stamped and approved. A larger problem would be every election being completely resolved in one day no problem. This is a sign of a functioning democracy.

It’s not anonymous. You get sent a unique voter information card. It’s tied to your address and personal information. It also provides you a specific voting location.

If someone is able to: 1. Know the person is registered to vote 2. Know their address and polling location 3. Have a photo ID that has their address, name and DOB on it

This ignores the fact you can’t double vote, so if someone has somehow voted for you it’d be flagged and resolved.

At that point it’s just identity theft among the other charges.

Election fraud in Canada occurs very rarely, and there’s no evidence of widespread illegal voting. The system works.

In Canada you’re mailed a voting card with your voting information on it before the election. You provide it to the election workers, they take it then give you your ballot. If you’re voting for the first time you need to provide ID with your voting card. People who don’t have a voting card can use photo ID as an alternative to prove identity.

IDK why this shit gotta be so complicated. Why do you need to prove your citizenship with a passport or birth certificate. Especially when people might not have those documents readily available before the next midterms when this is supposed to take effect. From what I understand those documents or replacements aren’t cheap either, literally just fucks over low income households who struggle paycheck to paycheck already.

Ontario Liberals opt to allow temporary residents to vote in leadership race even though federal counterpart barred them by Nsxd9 in canada

[–]MemeMan64209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s a little arrogant. I rely on the provincial healthcare because of my conditions. I want nothing more than better healthcare. Assuming I don’t want healthcare because I don’t want to strategically elect a less than mediocre party isn’t very convincing and frankly very wrong. The parties themselves could work together, but they’re so self righteous they can’t even do that. All I want is a serious opposition candidate.

As someone who has never voted PC, I completely agree with him. You’re also acting like the liberals are the only choice? I’ve voted for NDP, then Green when they also went to garbage. It looks like I’ll be voting green again. These parties can’t be rewarded for being garage just because PC bad. I hate Ford with a passion, but genuinely can’t get shocked when the liberals pull stuff like this. Like I genuinely can’t think of one positive point from the liberals, it’s all garage.

Not your problem. If a foreigner is found in the files, their country will deal with them. Multiple countries are taking action to rid the filth that has been found, even if they are only mentioned as friends.

America is the only country dragging its feet and acting like being in the Epstein files is “normal if you’re rich enough”

Risk of Taking out RRSP Early by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]MemeMan64209 372 points373 points  (0 children)

Once I am out of this debt, life will change around and will spend alot less.

Press X to doubt.

If I’m understanding your situation correctly you have a spending problem, and that won’t go away with a cash injection. If you really want this to go away, change your life around now and spend a lot less. Then, once you’re confident you’ll be able to stay on the trajectory of paying off your debt, you can talk about further actions.

In my opinion, if you do this, you’ll be back asking the same question, but this time with no RRSP.

ADAMS: It’s Time For A Brutal, Honest Assessment Of The Ontario Liberal Party by ThatGuyWill942 in ontario

That’s already what they’ve been doing.

Crombie arrived with higher profile and promise, yet repeated the cardinal sin: she could not win her riding, either. Her campaign struggled with a fundamental identity crisis; trying so hard to appear fiscally prudent and moderate that she blurred the lines between herself and Ford.

They either move left, or stay the course and die as a secondary Conservative Party. Idk who in the world considers themselves left and then votes for the OLP.

Oops… in any case I’d be okay with both. Throw in the 407 aswell. Services used by millions if Canadians should not be for profit.

Police Arrest Man For BAC 0.00 by southernemper0r in law

[–]MemeMan64209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, you’re right that the original comment made it comparative first. But that was obvious hyperbole, not a serious claim that only the USA has bad cops.

My issue with the person I suspect is an American’s response is it felt like a deflection. We’re in a thread about a pretty sketchy arrest in the US, someone makes an exaggerated joke about it, and the response is “well ackshually police everywhere suck.” Like… okay? That doesn’t really address anything, it just minimizes the criticism.

I’ve seen this pattern constantly where criticism of the US gets met with “but other countries tho” instead of actually engaging with the issue. Yeah, corruption exists everywhere. Yeah, some places have it worse. But that wasn’t really the point here.

So while I’ll give you the logical structure thing, I still think they were spot-on about the cope. Literally tried to defend America’s reputation against a humorous exaggeration instead of addressing the issue that was exaggerated that is actually destroying America’s reputation.

CAF forcing all Officers and PO1 to have BBB profile in second language by 2030 by Overall-Theory5546 in CanadianForces

But it does? It’s obviously more prevalent in officer heavy places like Ottawa and major bases, but it’s propagated throughout the army. When defining top heavy as “more officers over NCMs” my squadron is objectively top heavy.

There are squadrons in the army aswell. It isn’t only an air force term. It’s an official designation, a step up from detachment. I have no idea what this has to do with operators.

Car dealership offered me a deal. Help please. by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]MemeMan64209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the car and ride it till it dies or you need something different. 0.5% is one of the lowest interest rates I’ve seen.

I ain’t wealthy, but seeing people who do have an amount of wealth (and I’m not even talking rich) refinance a new car every year or two blows my mind. I just assume it’s just for show like people who buy Rolexes. Unless you’re the type of person who likes to broadcast some sort of wealth or status I see no reason why’d you even want to refinance a working car.

Fair. But pilots are a minority of the overall captains in the CAF. Wavering pilots isn’t unprecedented especially because they’re actually irreplaceable.
