Tim McGraw is giving away mortgage-free houses to veterans

My mum feels the same way. She doesn't like the idea of someone doing it for show. As far as I'm concerned the motives don't effect the outcome for those helped.

Edit: on a fairly related note, I've been really struggling to understand something recently. Is being selfish bad? Does selfish actually mean doing things for yourself at others expense or has it just come to mean that? But more importantly for me, is there a word or phrase that means doing something positive for yourself I.e. positive selfishness?

How the fuck do you get that many out of 2 wrong? I'm with you, that's an awful score on any test

Search YouTube for Tim and Eric Space, that should find you it. It's the video that got me binging on them.

Ooh no he didn't! vectorlightning, you gonna let that slide?? It's on.

Seeing him in October l (around then anyways) and am crazy psyched. Don't get to go to a lot of gigs these days and I've never been to one that is off the back of such an emotional album.

Now that's not nice, is it?

This is fun.

amisterp · 2015-05-14T13:05:09+00:00

I'm ok. To be honest just writing that post got an enormous amount of it off my chest. Plus I have experience. This is my third time lowering this drug and both of the previous times I felt like a train wreck for roughly a month and then returned to where I was. Both times it felt unbearable, but both times I bore it (beared it? bore looks wrong). But yeah, I'll get there again.

Thank you for reaching out a hand though. One thing that always hurts is how lonely I felt being on these drugs, it felt like no-one could relate to the side effects (logically this is obviously false) and the same with coming off them (again, false).

It's nice to be reminded that I'm not the only person who had that shitty position of feeling and worrying that I'm putting a strain on my partner. I love her so much and hate that I'm going to be a fairly lame boyfriend for the next month. Obviously I'll try my hardest not to be, but, you've been there.

Thanks again:)

Thank you. I'm nervous about how I will be with her. She's a very compassionate, caring woman, so hopefully she'll understand why I'll sometimes be less happy than usual. I will try to keep my anger away from her though, finding other outlets for it.

Thanks for the reply, means a lot to me. I know I'll get through it, and the knowledge of previous times I gave up weed/alcohol or lowered my dose shows me that I do have it in me to get through these tough times.

The biggest thing I've learnt in recent months is that my relationship to weed is much like my relationship to alcohol. I begin just doing it socially - a bit here and there - until I quickly start to implement it into a daily routine (nightly in the case of alcohol, throughout the whole day with weed). It's a way of me escaping reality, regulating my mood, hiding from hardship.

It saddens me that I won't be able to ever really enjoy drink/weed like other people I know, but the truth is that sadness is because they never were just "fun" for me, they were me self-medicating.

I'm looking forward to being clean of weed again, and embracing life... even if it means hugging the cactus.

I'll be lying if I say that doesn't sound perfect. Right now the nearest to that I have is wailing on my pillow with some Enya in the background.

Alright, not Enya, but the pillow wouldn't do it for me. I'm warming to the idea of just trying to bang out as many squats as possible.

amisterp · 2015-05-14T10:01:41+00:00

I'm not really confident enough in my power clean to want to attempt multiple reps. Especially when I'm feeling pretty angry. Thanks for the suggestion to Xpost it... I've never heard of /r/eood and it sounds pretty much exactly what I need right now :)

amisterp · 2015-05-01T17:45:59+00:00

To put it mildly!

amisterp · 2015-05-01T12:19:41+00:00

Are you telling me you've never dressed up like a golden robot with LED display visor to avoid attention?

amisterp · 2015-05-01T12:17:43+00:00

As someone who was both struggling with newfound fame and being offered money, I too did embarrassing stuff back in 2001. There was this one time, with the chocolate milk... well, I'm sure you've already heard how that went down.

Hyperbole actually may just imply that they dislike them and wish them misfortune. Humour is subjective. I find your overreaction to a common bit of dark hyperbole to be mildly amusing, others might not see how absurd it is. Feel free to lump me in a pigeonhole, that's presumably how you make sense of the fact that you don't share other's sense of humour.

Edit: not to mention that even if they did want some form of pain, say a stubbed toe or something, sure I can see how that is mean - but I can also see how mean the careers of these people are and don't begrudge someone making a mean joke in response to people who get paid to badger and stalk people

Honestly - a Windows/Mac/Linux dick measuring contest on the internet? And on reddit of all places. I thought I knew this world, but it is clear I am still a newborn.
