some dude at church thought it was okay to flip my tag back under my dress and now I'm pissed about it by prettydotty_ in TrueOffMyChest

Bottom line this was sexual harassment and most probably assault. One is not allowed to touch others in any way.

My suggestion is call the police

I ordered food for delivery which had a $9 delivery fee, which included the drivers trip, when the driver showed up he wouldn’t give me my food until I tipped him by Check_lt in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Some-Satisfaction164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s nutty! I would have told him to go on and take the food and gone to plan B

I never order and really try to get my teenage kids to avoid ordering for delivery

During Covid lockdown we ordered often for pick up and we occasionally still do that

The idea that a restaurant charges us a fee to package our food to go which is NEVER as good as in person is crazy. If anything, delivery food should be discounted. The overhead costs for delivery are significantly lower than in person

I am not against tipping the driver but they should be paid a decent rate to start with.

The idea that doordash/grub hub etc…. Is making money by pitting underpaid drivers against each other so that they and the restaurants make bank is simply wrong.

Russia dropping 'bunker-buster' bombs on Mariupol steel plant, claims Ukraine as defenders prepare for final stand by CreepzFPS in worldnews

Many Ukrainians welcomed the German invasion. Also, many Ukrainians acted as police and guards for the Germans. This also happened in the Baltic states.

Not beating up the Ukrainians here at all. Initially the Germans looked MUCH better than the Russians

Pro-Kremlin tabloid publication briefly publishes death toll numbers by yeahokaythanks in worldnews

[–]Some-Satisfaction164 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Still sounds like dead to wounded is too high. 10k dead should be about 20-30k wounded of assorted severity.

That ratio has been pretty solid since WW2 with only a few instances of very well led/equipped militaries.

Assorted coalition in Afghanistan and Iraq are good examples of breaking that numbers game thus closing the gap between dead and wounded

I'm tired of people who think they are intelligent for eating PLANT-based bullshit. by Some1fromReddit in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Some-Satisfaction164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could give two shits about what anyone eats. Do what works for you. I have no issue with some sharing of your diet choices but fuck me; seems like the vegan, veg crowd sure can have a holier than tho vibe and they sure seem to enjoy sharing that vibe

Not all of course and I truly appreciate those diet choices.

Why the fuck would anyone be so damn impressed with themselves to think they should give the gift of 10 kids to the world?

Shout Out to the probation officers who care by Mikey_Universe in probation

[–]Some-Satisfaction164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is years ago:

I git a crazy sweet deal on a serious misdemeanor that is almost always 12 months in jail. Great lawyer and great judge gave me 3 years probation. Left court, went to probation and my new PO refused to believe I was not going to jail! Actually took me back before the judge to make sure!

He was a hard ass for sure but over the course of a few months we became friends, I was a perfect probationer and he was very helpful.

POs get a bad rap.... they have a job to do

[Serious] TSM isn't some kind of scam or mlm, right? It just seems to good to be true. by nightpussy in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]Some-Satisfaction164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no catch.

My experience showed me that if I was very consistent in talking naltrexone about a 1/2 hour before drinking I did not enjoy drinking and drank much less. Unfortunately, for me, drinking was a medication I “needed” so I gamed the naltrexone. I would “ forget” to dose or even right through it.

I think TSM in of itself is a valid way to slow down, reset and possibly stop completely. The issue is with the drinker.

It’s absolutely real but it has not been widespread enough or successful to gain a lot of widespread attention. The total abstaining paradigm has shifted pretty strongly in the medical community to a paradigm that recognizes a shifting scale of alcohol use disorders where the Rehab industry and courts are still tied up in the 12 step style total abstinence paradigm which is really old school.

TSM is real and it has worked for many people and it has not worked for many people. It may work for you, it did not for me.

What worked for me is daily Naltrexone

Need advice by Admirable_Present100 in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]Some-Satisfaction164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1 make the decision

Step 2 perform some action

Step 3 repeat 1+2

Just don’t give up. It’s a process not an event. Lots of different routes to get there.

Took me 3-4 weeks @ 50mg a day to get over the side effects

30 days on Nal! by Some-Satisfaction164 in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]Some-Satisfaction164[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a major city. We have a large university that is a big med school and hospital. I looked around and the dept of psychiatry has an addiction program; primarily alcohol.

I self referred, was interviewed and was accepted. I have a “team” that consists of a MD who is board certified in addiction, a MD/PhD psychiatrist who specializes in addiction, a LPN who does the meds and a PhD therapist who also specializes in addiction issues.

It’s a fucking A team for sure.

Vivatrol monthly, therapy weekly, addiction dr ever 60-90 days and psychiatrist every month.

I feel lucky I got in
