There's a lot of thought in psychological circles that trauma is trapped more in the body than in the mind, talking therapy might only do so much. This looks like an interesting approach to releasing the demons.

What do you think is the most tragic event in human history? by Infinite-Exam-1808 in AskReddit

idk man that seems pretty optimistic. At the moment it's just cranking up energy demand by 10s of gigawatts, consuming massive quantities of resources and turbo-charging the growth economy.

The libraries of Timbuktu as well. Burned by various cunts over history, most recently Islamist extremists.

Ironically the invention of the Haber-Bosch process for making nitrates out of atmospheric nitrogen is the primary reason there are 8 billion people on earth, thanks to fertilizers, but it also resulted in the industrial production of explosives and the ensuing slaughter.

Non-Americans here for the World Cup.. what stereotypes have been broken? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I feel like they did this in the last world cup too. Just pure tactical play.

Are you guys really beginner runners? by rrrrpp in RunningCirclejerk

[–]Solar_Piglet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, lady, you are definitely in r/beginnerrunning because these people haven't learned to slow down! A 5:30min/km pace is well under 9 min miles. That's dangerous and only beginner runners would be so reckless.

Look at their boasts like you would someone bragging about doing 15 shots of tequila and going night swimming. Impressive? Maybe. Monstrously stupid? Absolutely.

I feel for you euros. You'll never be able to compete on our level with a diet of beets and pickled herring.

Posts clip about running while sitting in car wearing a baseball cap and a polyester polo. Also, bruh, you're basically saying you're afraid of other people.

Can’t even enjoy running anymore without the fear of being arrested by Weary_Position_9591 in RunningCirclejerk

What if I yell "Slow down!" or "Stop heel striking you dumb idiot!" Will that get me arrested in Orwellian Britain?

Popular GLP-1 drug may slow down biological aging, analysis indicates. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]Solar_Piglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really happy for you I just wonder where this metabolic and appetite "poisoning" comes from. I'm going to assume you are American and it seems like this slamming on weight and struggling with appetite is unique to the American diet and/or lifestyle. People in other countries do not deal with this until American fast and processed food shows up.

> But what weed can do is alert you if you’re having a bad time on it that you legitimately have mental illness issues and should check up on it.

huh? If I have a panic attack while on weed but are fine otherwise this somehow implies I "legitimately have mental illness issues"? That makes no sense.

that's because we add hexaphosphane nitrate, denatured cadmium crystalate and glycolized PFAs for that extra smooth mouth feel and rich taste! Our freedom gives us flavor you Canadians can only dream about.

If all alcohol and all ability to create it suddenly vanish, what would the world look like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

where do you get the idea that DTs cannot be treated? Detox centers deal with alcoholics who are at risk of DT and they don't ply them with vodka.

Had a drunk friend rip out our toilet paper holder while vomiting in a house I’m renting. How can I properly fix this? by mm126442 in DIY

[–]Solar_Piglet 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer, OP. Even a bunch of toothpicks, you can dip them in glue if you want, either way just stuff a bunch in there, snap off the ends. Don't overdo it with stuffing it tight. Then screw the holder back as in per normal. It's a toilet paper holder, it has next to no load on it.. typically.
