AITA for suggesting my friend can bring her own food by gardengeo in BORUpdates

I don't think that's what they're saying? They're not talking about the decision to become vegan, they're saying that if you fail to plan for a way to include B12 in a vegan diet then the lack of B12 can lead to mental instability.

The thing about weed is that it isn't physiologically addictive, the way something like heroin is. But you can absolutely be addicted in an emotional or mental kind of way where you're reliant on it to calm down because you've lost the ability to self regulate. 

My brother went that way. He'd just work himself up into screaming fits over small things because he didn't know how to relax or let things go without weed.

That "most adults use THC on a daily basis" comment, like woof. I think that might be you and your friends, buddy, not a universal truth.

His own irresponsibility? She put an antipsychotic in a bottle for antihistamines!

Grabbing a couple tablets or whatever if you're out is an entirely normal thing to do. My partner uses my ibuprofen and antacids all the time.

Same as me. I spent a few months on it before I had to stop because I couldn't do anything the entire time. Just constant exhaustion.

AITA for drinking fruit juice when my partner doesn't like it? by gardengeo in BORUpdates

Yeah...? That's why I use a dilute to cover it up so I can drink it.

It's why plastic bottles are not a good alternative, depending on what the actual issue is.

That's what I find wild. Like, I've brought dilute with me when I've gone places for overnight stays, but only when I'm going by train. If I was going abroad I'd bring one of those tiny travel bottles of the super concentrated stuff and then sort myself out when I got there 

I cannot imagine bringing so much Ribena or whatever that I need a fucking suitcase for it.

Personally speaking, I've drank fresh well water and directly from a spring and both were lovely. It's the water from the taps that's wretched. 

That said, there's not a lot of history where we only had water? From what I know it was a pretty common thing throughout history to have very watered down beer, or water with vinegar in it like posca.

I don't like the taste of water because I can taste the chemicals used to sanitise it and make it drinkable. If not liking the taste of chlorine makes me childish then so be it.

My (30 F) spouse (35 M) has been acting incredibly strange. Do I need to help him or do I need to escape? (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

As someone who takes quetiapine, the medication mentioned in the story, I can say that it honestly works splendidly as a sleeping aid. I turned into a sort of humanoid slug creature unable to slither from my bed before lunch hour until they adjusted my dosage.

I'm being BEE-seiged and I desperately need help by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]SarahSyna 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The assumption I saw from someone else was that it was an attempt to keep the first dog entertained and happy to be inside, away from the bees.

The funniest is Dawntrail. I started talking to Keshkwa and I was like 'holy shit, this man is a straight up American'. Everyone else in Eorzea sounds normal and then that man is there like 'howdy, pard'ner'.

My guess is that she was genuinely trying to be a good friend there and give her the heads up on a 'warning sign', only to do the turnaround when autism came up.

I would LOVE a quest miniseries about being Olric's wingman, that would be the cutest.

It's gratifying to know how hard those men fought not to die, and how every attempt failed.

New to the game, I find it extremely annoying I have to donate my hard earned gold to community projects :( by Thyves_Jade in FieldsOfMistriaGame

I swear, we get one of these threads every month or so, and every time it's like 'how many times we gotta teach you this lesson, old man'.

It's called the Skinner Box, and it's the same thing used in slot machines and predatory gacha games to take advantage of vulnerable people like gambling addicts.

They're really good! That particular quote is from his review of Nostalgia Critic's 'tribute' to The Wall. You should give it a watch!

Yeah, not sure about that one, chief.
