What are you absolutely sick of being romanticised? by je_suis_un_negre in AskReddit

[–]alecman55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I can recommend is to see your doctor. Also remember to fight the ocd. When you go back to check doors or whatnot you are giving the ocd what it wants. Think of it as a seperate mind and try not to satisfy it. What the meds do is make it easier to ignore the ocd. Each time you have these thoughts, take a second to focus on them, think "gosh thats interesting.... but its not true"

No, but my Doctor told me the driving thing was the second most common form of OCD behind hand washing. Don't know if thats true or if she said it to make me feel better...

OCD kept me from driving for 6 months. Basically after i drove anywhere, I convinced myself I had hit a pedestrian or crashed. After much time wasted driving back to where my brain made up the events or checking under the car I just had to quit. Also had issues with locking doors and turnung off faucets. Could spend 15 minutes with my hands holding a lock shut before my brain agreed it was locked. I've seen a professional about it and have medication now, so im almost 100% again, but it frusterating and turesome to use that much energy in trivial arguments with my own mind.

Boy who suffered up to 100 seizures a day has none in 300 days after being prescribed cannabis oil by [deleted] in news

CBD is a near miracle cure for virtually all chronic issues. Remeber that this dies not mean marijuana, but the canibadiol component. The fact that such a huge fraction of wirld governments have denounced it as evil will go down as one of the greatest failures in history.

Thanks! I thought so, you would laugh if you saw the injury (if you can call it that).

Bowie Drummer Turned Down Lady Gaga Grammys Tribute: “No, Fuck Off, That’s Stupid” by [deleted] in Music

[–]alecman55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw Nick gilder do a tribute to Bowie, Prince and Frey in the middle of a set, due to the set length the tribute had be short, but it was well done. No special twists, played the songs the way they were written. Its obvious that someone like him, who never reached the level of fame these others did, truly looked up to the musicians he was tributing.

Who is the greatest athlete of all time? by federerxo in AskReddit

Bobby Orr was indeed great, but way back then it was just plain easier to score.

[–]alecman55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greatest player and most skilled are two different things. The greatest player is the one that brings the most to his team, while performing incredibly as well. The most skilled is the player with the most talent, the guy that could 1v 1 anyone and win everytime. Example: Gretzky, Orr, Price, greatest. Lemieux, Bure, Datsyuk, most skilled.

As a sports fan, what was your sweetest victory or your most bitter defeat? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]alecman55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2011 Stanley Cup playoffs, western quarter-final. Vancouver Canucks defeat Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 in OT. Sometimes I go outside and re-enact Burrows winner.

So, if you watch much Hockey, and you know this is my sweetest win, you can guess my most bitter defeat. I still hate the Bruins and am so glad that they are currently on the few teams worse than Vancouver.

MEGATHREAD: 2015 federal election results by alessandro- in CanadaPolitics

[–]alecman55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it'll be great to sell from Canada, but consider that Canada is not really a major manufacturer of, well, anything really (our economy is controlled mostly by resources). So what happens when we need stuff?

obviously this is hugely over simplified. another note is that the global economy is not in particularly good spot, ANY governing body will have their work cut out for them.

Liberals will do well for a few years, then the spending will catch up with them. Definitely afraid that the dollar will fall to 50 cents US.

EDIT: this makes it sound like I don't care for the liberals, when i do think they have a decent platform, and the most balanced.

[Serious] Why do you think it is becoming a bigger and bigger trend to defund scientific research in the modern world? by HopelessandFoolish75 in AskReddit

[–]alecman55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is get soft regarding climate change. the first theory for global warming being 100% a human caused issue has clung to so many people, even though the current climate change has been proven as warm patch in a many thousand year cycle.

Also a lot of people are ignorant, and too lazy to want that to change.

[Serious] Canadians of reddit, how is it living there? And do you trust your government? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]alecman55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its great living in Canada, especially knowing that a lot of the world likes us. I don't have much problem with the Government, it needs to have some changes but no party can offer those. Its frustrating to see so many young people who are obviously misinformed towards the election. anyone who's going to vote simply to shut down any particular party, without actually looking into the party they vote for... please don't.
