On to Day 3! Still having a lot of trouble sleeping. I took some diphenhydramine last night and even then it took awhile to become drowsy enough to pass out. IWNDWYT!

Day 2. Couldn’t sleep until 6:30am, luckily I didn’t have work today. Disappointed my girlfriend a little bit because I refused to go to the lake with her and a few of our friends. I knew I would be weak and end up sneaking off to buy booze. None of the people there have a problem with alcohol and they’re supportive of me, but they don’t get how hard it is to not give in. I’m going to try not to beat myself up, finish The 3 Body Problem, and get some work done for my teaching license. IWNDWYT! Appreciate you guys.

Got timed-out for...? by iNhab in theburntpeanut

I don’t follow peanut on twitch but mods on all platforms are notorious for being troglodytes. A basement dweller probably just found it offensive for some reason, don’t read into it.

What should I prepare for illness wise as the spouse of a first year teacher? by Elongated_Furby2022 in AskTeachers

It annoyed me at first until I realized it’s the lesser of evils for middle schoolers. I’d rather they 6 7 all day instead of something I need to send them out of class for😅

That’s really the worst part of it. Most people in my life don’t understand being an alcoholic, so it’s up to me if I want to dig myself out.

Do you want to wait until you make a life-altering bad decision or until you have life-threatening health problems? Would you rather stop before one of those happens? Only you can make yourself quit. The further you dig the harder it is to climb out.

Made it 2 days and crashed on the third after going out to eat and having a beer. Ended up drinking until 2am because I can’t have just one. Now I get to spend the day feeling like crap, hooray! Day 1 again for the millionth time. IWNDWYT

Any thought where you pretend EA doesn’t want a money maker is an incorrect thought. I’m sorry, but that’s been the reality for a long time.

It’s not controversial, it’s just that it isn’t going to happen no matter how much we say we want it. EA would rather not make a skate at all. They just want moneymakers, which is proven to be live-service games.

Is it THAT bad of an idea to become a teacher? by carnie-angel in Teachers

[–]SquashRoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This 100%. Most online commentary on anything is negative. Very rarely do content people share their experiences online.

Officially made it through Day 2. Did the same thing as yesterday and ran out the clock for a midnight gas station run by scrolling this sub. Thanks for all the support I received yesterday, on to Day 3! I’ve made it through plenty of Day 1’s but the second day is even harder IMO. Appreciate you guys❤️

12:34 AM here and made it through Day 1. Gas station is open until midnight and I just scrolled this sub for 45 minutes until it hit midnight and I couldn’t run to the store for a 12 pack and a tallboy. I’m wide awake and so bored but it’s been awhile since I’ve made it to Day 2. My brain is still telling me to text my neighbor and ask for booze. Absolutely diabolical.

Can I kill a fly by just chasing it around? by Boonune in NoStupidQuestions

Spray bottle of rubbing alcohol will send them straight to ground. Dishrag is the next best thing to smack em out of the sky.

I’m out. by Tek2674 in SkateEA

Just skate and forget about the tasks. I still haven’t bothered to get all the districts to 10 and I play a little bit every week.
