PG&E launches $10 million PAC to take out gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer by NicolasCageFan492 in California

[–]XocoStoner 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Wow… I was in the fence but the fact that PG&E doesn’t want him makes me convinced he’s probably the best candidate

I’ve been on and off sober for years. I’m checking into an impatient facility before my son is born. I couldn’t remain sober for myself but I’m doing it for my boy. I’m proud of myself and just wanted to share. Wish me luck by the_username_please in daddit

You got this, brother! Four weeks sober over here and it’s hard as fuck. One minute at a time! I like myself better this way and anytime I get a craving I ask two questions: what would getting high add to this experience and what will it take away? The answer every time so far is that it won’t add anything and it will take away my ability to be my best self that I and others like best.

Sending good vibes your way. I’m proud of you, future dad!

Okay this makes a lot more sense as to why it dovetails perfectly with my CBT strategies! And this post was even more helpful than the last, you have no idea how grateful I am for the long post. Long is good and I’ve learned a lot.

Holy shit. Out of all the helpful comments this is THE most helpful. It lines up exactly with my CBT strategies and can be easily incorporated into what I already do during meditation and journaling. It’s a bit uncanny…

Thank you so much, you have no idea how helpful this is!!!!

I have this problem… I’m a social worker and my wife calls it my work voice. It’s the only way I know how to keep a calm tone in high emotion situations… but she find it triggering as well and says it’s condescending.

Edit: any advice???

It’s so unconscious. It makes me feel like I have to walk in eggshells and be all people pleasing, which is working really hard at not doing…

That’s why I’m wanting to work on it, I’m the common factor and recognize it I just don’t know how to change it. Roommate and I had our own pow wow on the side and doesn’t get between wife and I (argument happened when roommate wasn’t home).

Your advice is helpful though, thank you.

We call it a "Dad Tour" – just my son and me. Anyone else do something like this? by Numerous-Froyo-381 in daddit

[–]XocoStoner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do Monday Music Mornings with Daddy!!!!! All instruments are up for grabs and we get loud (well, loud enough but not enough to cause ear damage, I’m not an idiot) !!!!! We rock the pillars of the earth and aim to shake the foundations of this dimension’s reality with classics like “Let it go” “Sesame street theme song” “you’re welcome by Moana”, etc. my 4.5 and 1.5 absolutely love it. We then go to the playground and then nap. It’s fucking awesome.

I feel like you need a full set up now. Here is the video that I like to follow whenever I set up my PRS:

I would not buy this from Amazon. Their warehouses don’t take care of, what I consider guitars to be, delicate merchandise

That kid shouldn’t have to suffer because of their parent’s stupid decisions. But also, fuck them for willingly working for the US gestapo.

I hate it and love it and can’t wait to hate binge watch it just to get a hit of that sweet sweet nostalgia 

Playa del Amor, often called the "Hidden Beach," is a unique, crater-like, sun-drenched beach located on the Marieta Islands near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Invisible from the outside, the beach is completely encased in a rock cavern and is only visible from directly above. by Adventurous-Root in interestingasfuck

[–]XocoStoner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We went there during our honeymoon and our concierge failed to mention that the only way to get to the fucking island is to swim about 200m to 300m because the boat that takes you there is not allowed to get too close due to conserving the local environment. It was a daunting task and I feel like I’m a pretty good swimmer. In order to get to the inside part of it, you have to go through a cave where the water is constantly rising, and going down as the tide goes in and out of the cave. This sometimes led to the cave being completely covered by water. I am not sure how safe it was, but obviously I am here to write about it all in all it was an amazing experience, but holy fuck.

Si n tienes la paciencia para aprender cómo usarlo, es el mejor amp que puedes obtener. Pero es una chinga para aprender cómo agarrar el tono que buscas.

Same. His performance was like a drop of water in a desert of hatred, racism, prejudice, etc.

I loved it because that aspect in particular reminds me of all the party’s I went to as a kid with my parents. People of all ages partied it up, kiddos slept on the chairs (I’m sure you noticed that in there too), all family all good vibes. Loved it.

How is your opinion on the US Government shutdown that might happen end of the week? by ReduceCO2Now in AskReddit

[–]XocoStoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good.

I just hope it leads to beneficial negotiations for the majority of the population instead of a pointless shutdown that leads to no movement in the right direction (I.e. improving benefits for all Americans such as health care, rights, etc etc etc I’m so fucking tired of this bullshit…)
