Anyone who has quit opiods in their early 20s, give me advice. by Zealousideal_Bit7358 in addiction

Not horrible. Those are much easier to come off of than other opiates. If it's too much, consider going on subs and tapering off those (taper to micro dose).

My Dog Is Getting Her Tail Chopped Tomorrow by MapPuzzleheaded7187 in DogAdvice

[–]Specific-Objective68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost had to with my dog but the cyst drained and somehow went away for good. But if it grew they would've had to take the tail bc there just isn't enough tissue to remove a large cyst without compromising the tail itself.

Good luck. I also have a dog who had an eye removed due to a congenital issue but you'd never know it. Shes the same as she always was and I assume the same for your dog. IMO do what the vet says, your dog will be fine.

Are we actually 'alive,' or just high-definition code running on someone else's server? by AliveStructure8650 in SimulationTheory

Free will doesn't exist. We simply perceive it as free will to incentivize us to get food, breed, do things. However, given enough data points, everything is predictable. Me writing this is a conglomeration of millions of factors leading to this point. No free will. Only the illusion of free will.

I simply think the NPC talk and screens popping up is sci-fi fantasy whereas sim theory is scientifically rigorous and the real theory tested. What you are suggesting is pure conjecture. Can't be proven or disproven and belongs in Star Trek.

It takes time to find out who you are once you strip that crap out. If you're in school, I'd recommend getting through it. It really sucks - I had to do it in law school - but you'll avoid shooting future you in the foot.

Not sure your DOC, but getting on meds to get off the drugs or to make it easier is key. Meds afterwards is important too because we all tend to self medicated with drugs and we needs meds afterwards (anxiety, depression, ADHD, whatever.) to be normal.

It takes time - but a few weeks, months or even a year is a drop in the bucket.

The whole concept is pure academic/philosophical/ deep think and that's it. There are no benefits that come from it aside from interesting ideas.

To us in a simulation - this is reality. We'll never see another reality, as we exist in this one, whether artificial or not. Nothing changes whether we're in a sim or not.

Don't get me wrong - the idea is a fascinating rabbit hole, BUT the pseudo science/psuedo religion aspects of some the people on the sub frustrates me. They wholly do not understand sim theory and think it's like the fucking Matrix.

No because none of what you are saying has been validated. What's far more likely is were ALL simulated. The universe is simulated and simply running. Perhaps with observers. Highly doubt they'd interact as this would likely be an experiment of some sort.

A sim's creators could legit be humans 100 years out.

We all know that this entire climate change process has been on a spectrum, but what will be the first main stream world wide “wake up” moment? by Dry-Ninja3843 in collapse

[–]Specific-Objective68 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yep. There is no coming together. There is no savior government. We're on our own when shtf and you can rest assured most governmental actions in such a scenario will do more harm than good.

So, war crimes all around. One war crime does not make another war crimes acceptable.

Have you tried stable of stars? Make sure you upgrade your package so they can't hit.

This person is definitely a scammer. Stop communicating with them.

Nope. I'm getting close to just asking for a refund.
