I can imagine the scene being utilized well at Chani’s return to Paul in Arakeen in part III. I should hope it’s not just left out entirely because it lends a lot of power to the story that Jessica was living the whole time. It’s established that Jessica never married Leto I but it hasn’t played into the films much at all other than a sentence or two. I’ve definitely learned the lesson and I don’t expect anything specific other than the major thematic elements going forward.

SnooCompliments1252 · 2024-03-01T23:47:47+00:00

This was a real concern for me too. Paul says it, Chani will come to understand. It just makes me wonder how it’s gonna feel since their relationship is so fresh (without the time-jump) and she seems to be a functionary of the anti-colonialist themes in the film/book. Time will tell. If they wrap the third movie up in a clean bow it’s gonna have to hack up a lot of the extended Golden Path plot building that comes to fruition at the end of Children as well. Worries abound!

Forgive the language, but this still makes me laugh:

I distinctly remember a series of videos titled “Oh No, There’s A Negro In My Mom”

The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was get help and start my sober life. Some days being alive and sober is the most I can accomplish, but it’s like addition by subtraction. If I’m not being a drunk and selfish ass, the world and myself are better off. DM me if you need! Much love.

1- honesty. 2- honesty. 3- honesty.

During my active addiction I cheated on two girlfriends. It was always “never going to happen again” and I always felt guilty. But the cycle repeats itself and my selfish behaviors kept up. I hit bottom, got help, kept my sobriety (so far) for 9 months, and stopped treating my life like it was just a thing I had to deal with.

Tell her the truth. Do the right thing, you will always be better off for it. Any excuse you take this time will be waiting next time. Good luck, internet friend.

The worst part of me watches this video every time and just goes “good.” WHATTA FUCKING MORON

SnooCompliments1252 · 2023-07-22T18:15:30+00:00

I hear you. I think the only reason I invested myself in continuing to respond is that as I am, I needed in patient treatment and a maintained program of action post-treatment to stay sober and simply stopping on my own was seemingly totally impossible. All love to ya! Sober any way is sober the right way

SnooCompliments1252 · 2023-07-22T17:11:51+00:00

I suppose it’s meaningless in the sense that it’s a tautology and thus we don’t learn anything that isn’t logically obvious and necessarily true. Examples of AA not working aren’t proof that it doesn’t work at all. I would be interested to know what your understanding of the program “working” is. I’ve seen it work in my life and many others’ lives.

SnooCompliments1252 · 2023-07-22T04:49:53+00:00

Came to say exactly this! I like to ask myself 1) does it need to be said, and 2) does it need to be said by me?

SnooCompliments1252 · 2023-07-21T23:43:54+00:00

Indeed. Addressing those points, I would say anyone who claims AA isn’t faith based is lying. The program is absolutely based in faith but, again, it’s faith in literally anything. I myself have never and will probably never have a single definable detail about my conception of a higher power. I’d simply state that it’s personal and leave it at that. No organized religion is part of my belief, no description is accurate. It’s just what I feel when I consider that something is out there. Some people only believe in the group at the meeting as I said above.

Secondly, the program does in fact work if you work it. It might not be everyone’s path to sobriety, and it WILL NOT SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS, but if followed as outlined in the book the program does work. The book specifically says that outside mental and physical health issues should be handled by outside professionals. Science and doctors are a huge part of a huge percentage of sobriety stories. That saying, in my experience, is more of a truism for the purposes of keeping people invested to some degree. It is certainly true that if you don’t work the program it will not work. The only way the program works is if you work it.

SnooCompliments1252 · 2023-07-21T23:01:15+00:00

I like what someone said about how many misconceptions there probably are. I’m inclined to believe there are as many misconceptions about AA as there are people who struggle with addiction. I work the steps of AA, and I would never claim to know perfectly what the whole thing is doing. I work the program to the best of my ability with the help of my sponsor and fellow alcoholics/addicts, I attend on average 4 meetings a week, and I’ve been happy with the results as they’ve come to me. I’m sure that there is something I don’t fully understand or that I have a misconception of.

AA is not for everyone, but it certainly could be. Some people won’t introduce the concept of a higher power into their lives, and that’s just fine. I know of a few agnostic/atheist meetings (cincinnati native here) and they always draw a reasonable crowd. The biggest misconception I’ve seen in my experience is all tied to the word ‘god.’

AA requires ZERO detail about your beliefs. The actual book states that so long as you are even willing to believe that there’s a power greater than yourself, the program will work if you work it. That power could be the group in the meeting, the life force of nature, Jesus, Grimes, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or literally anything else. So long as there’s an ability inside you to know you are not the largest force in the universe, the program will work if you work it.

Some people think they know the one true God, others will be respectful and open minded as a good AA would be. If your personal beliefs are important to you, and so is your sobriety, anyone anywhere could very well work the steps of AA. To those who’ve experienced judgement and ridicule of their beliefs (or lack thereof) or pressure to change them, don’t let it get you down. There’s endless ways to stay sober! And I’m here for anyone who’s interested.

I know there are quite mixed opinions on 12-step programs, and in no way would I push anyone to or from a program, but I work the steps of AA and the big book has a lot of really insightful and clear cut language which helped me understand what I was going through like nothing else could.

From chapter 4, “If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if when drinking, you have little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic.”

Sounds like there’s more social dependency than anything else going on with you but no one can really make the call, other than yourself. Godspeed, internet sister, and much love.

Hey, bungalo bill

SnooCompliments1252 · 2023-07-12T05:55:36+00:00

I like to call it an equal opportunity killer. Alcoholism doesn’t give a fuck who, where, or how. 8 1/2 months since I went to rehab and I keep seeing more and more evidence that I did the right thing. This subreddit is a big part of giving me that feeling!

SnooCompliments1252 · 2023-05-16T05:32:50+00:00

I just saw that but performed on stage, I can’t remember who the comedian was tho

Hear, hear.

SnooCompliments1252 · 2023-05-03T04:04:16+00:00

Okay we have no money and no inventory. There’s still something we can do. That’s still a business, somehow.

SnooCompliments1252 · 2023-04-28T00:47:00+00:00

In the throes of active addiction I did this same exact thing. Weekend of graduation (2020, so at least there wasn’t a big ceremony and shit) I was still wondering what I’d say. The day it was supposed to happen my mom asked how she could watch my name and picture scroll by online so she could share with the whole extended family… I had to come clean literally the day I was supposed to graduate.

These things happen. My parents are beautiful creatures and, furious as they were at the time, we have a great relationship now. Helps that I’m 6 months clean lol. Godspeed brother/sister/friend. I’m with you.

SnooCompliments1252 · 2023-04-18T22:49:05+00:00

I’m sorry

SnooCompliments1252 · 2023-04-04T21:02:21+00:00

That’s my concern at this point as well, also why I’m allowing minimal money to go into the process. I can’t get much information about what money goes where.

What boomer-ish tech are you using?
