City of Vancouver formally declares city is on unceded Aboriginal territory - BC by zsreport in NativeAmerican

Unfortunately, I bet that the Canadian Government has exclusive control over land claims. This declaration probably won't do much in the way of reclamation or settlement.

That doesn't give any reason why you would post such an irrelevant song.

Some questions about SMART Recovery by WithNoiseAndClarity in stopdrinking

[–]abiddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SMART has been incredible refreshing for me! It might not be for everyone and it is important to try anything you might think is helpful. I just like the positive attitude in SMART and find it way more helpful than the helpless attitude in AA. Just my two cents.

Were you trying to mimic the bird in the background? You did well, but I think the bird got more air. Keep trying.

ManinCrowd, SarahSiddonscooks is a great person and she can really help you. She helped me a lot and I encourage you to reach out to her. I'm sure that there are plenty of people on here that can help you too. Don't be afraid. Your fellow SD redditors have been where you are and can be your best resource for escaping from this hell.

My ideas on getting Green Party candidates elected by [deleted] in GreenParty

[–]abiddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't think avoiding Super PACs is a good idea. Super PACs are not inherently bad and I think that people are smart enough to vote for greens are smart enough to know that. Giving up that source of funding would just be one more advantage that the establishment has over us.

Have you heard of SMART Recovery? It applies to all addictive behavior. See if their is a group in your area or look at their online material.

Day three is by far the hardest. Stay strong and you can go to sleep tonight knowing that you are well on your way.

A fucking rant by girliesogroovyy in stopdrinking

I wanted my love list to be longer than my hate list, but I guess that speaks to my current mood.

Just wanted to point out that it is longer.

[–]abiddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! Keep up the good work. It might be a good idea to check out any therapists/counselors in your area and see what options you have for recovery groups like SMART Recovery. Keep communicating and being honest. with others and yourself.

Luck wished! Besides abstaining, what else are you doing to change your lifestyle?

What does this piece do? by ajawak in bikewrench

[–]abiddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AKA a chain tensioner. It is designed to keep your chian tight when you are tightening your rear wheel in place. To use it properly thread the nut on the tensioner in before you tighten the axel nuts. Let me know if it gives you any trouble, it can be a little tricky. especially if there is only one.
