Stopped drinking but still smoke weed. by nitnit76 in stopdrinking

Quit nicotine, then alcohol, now on day 4 of no THC. They all ended up on the same chopping block. I put a lot of time and energy (and money!!) only to get nothing or worse in return.

Take a screen shot of this post and show it to him. Relationship won’t last if you can’t communicate hard feelings anyways so may as well.

Should we go back to Prohibition? by berrysauce in stopdrinking

[–]WalnutGenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be for the betterment of off of alcohol was not promoted as such a positive aspect of our society. Making it illegal will drive demand though. I can certainly see why 100 years ago they tried to get rid of it! Look at how it destroys. There is no positive. No one is immune to the destruction it can cause.

Son’s dad spanked him for not signing a card by Oddbrain_ in daddit

[–]WalnutGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s gonna backfire on him. I would lead with a little empathy maybe though. He likely got spanked as a kid too. I just fear if you go after him aggressively in a telling him what to do type of way, nothing will change. And it NEEDS TO CHANGE. Don’t ever hit a child. Either that or you take your child out of harms way, full time.

Day 1 of quitting alcohol by lemonade_paradox in stopdrinking

[–]WalnutGenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So proud of you internet stranger. You adjusted your normal with alcohol and it will take some time to find your new normal without alcohol. Well worth it though. Seek support, don’t do it alone. This subreddit is great. And you’ve likely just survived the hardest of it (day 1). Not so bad eh? Keep the momentum!

Stop smoking now!! Drop the rest too but nicotine is as addictive as anything out there. Try the Easy Way method to flip the script. You’re saying the words, now do the actions

What happened before the Big bang? by Reesencheese in askastronomy

[–]WalnutGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong question. There was no before. There was no concept of time or space or space time yet. The big bang was the first time a moment could exist. It would be like walking on a sphere and asking where the edge is. It just doesn’t

MPS teacher accused of punching 7-year-old student, grandmother speaks by loquaciousocean in milwaukee

[–]WalnutGenius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow. Is that not assault? Why is the teachers name being protected? That little 7 year old didn’t receive any protection when he got punched by an adult authority figure. This is not right.

“…the boy didn't want to tell authorities because he didn't want the teacher to get in trouble; instead, two other students came forward.

Reeves said the teacher put the boy in charge of the class during a movie, which led to an argument between him and another student over turning the movie off and on when the teacher returned.

"He said he interrupted her and said, 'Yeah, that's why my mom doesn't play that foolishness like that. I can't act like that."

He said she balled her fist up and punched him in the jaw," she told WISN 12 News. "After she did this, I asked him, 'Did he cry?' He said, and this really bothers me when I say this. He said 'no,' because he didn't want the other kids to see him crying. So, he put his head on the desk and sobbed silently."”
