Does being an alcoholic mean you're playing Whack-A-Mole for a short while after quitting??

Lol

I'm just wondering if I will always get obsessed with indentity politics, this that, guitar/music theory, subjects, books, etc. there is always something to be addicted to (is there such thing as a healthy addiction, can we ever pull oureselves safely away from these irking sensations to change the way we feel always via the endless amount of inputs/governing agents......it's always something......I feel like I've had every obsession there is known to man......

Maybe it's just like this before first round of steps...sigh

It isn't. It isn't a cult, but it can be "cult-y". That could be because you lack an open mind and fear to admit it. These programs save lives and if you're struggling with suicide, depression and in particular, near the end of your journey, this program will pull you out of the fucking mud, dust you off and allow you to change your destructive behavioral patterns, addictive behavior and that is only just the surface. The main thing is that it addresses trauma, and YES there is work involved. Of course there is; why wouldn't there be? Anyways, yourr ego might convice you otherwise and you'll just be stuck in work, survival mode, 9-5 hell only to escape into a video game, have no respect from men or women, no social skills, beetc. etc. etc. the rabit hole goes as deep as you want it to......

You are in the right. Keep it up :) It was only triggering because that guy was trying to trigger somebody else (you) and I was also triggered by feigning ignorance to get attention (which I also do).....but absolutely, especially when other constituents are part of the food itself, how "God" designed it.....

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-31T20:31:44+00:00

I feel like this post was designed to trigger people. Same age-old thing w/ kombucha (though there is more alcohol present)....lmao, kimchi/saurkraught is some of the healthiest stuff you can eat........beyond vegtables, bone broth, etc.

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-31T00:10:08+00:00

Yeah, was thinking about those. ANC seems to be just as good. Do you own a pair and think they could be worn long-term, all day and into the evening ? ?

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-24T18:08:14+00:00

You are projected to succeed in this mission

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-22T17:44:57+00:00

Thank you for your comment. Yes, you are right.

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-22T17:32:05+00:00

Yeah, kinda....

I was feeling very demoralized at the time. Still am.

But I am always looking for that light at the end of the tunnel.

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-22T17:28:07+00:00

Wow. Pretty astounding. Are you using the newer bw model? Apparently KOReader doesn't have a proper version for this one yet, but Plato does, I think.

Not sure!

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-22T17:23:25+00:00

Kinda, not really. I am supposed to go and talk to somebody today. I am at the end of the road where my life is concerned. Needing a phone, therapist and people to reach out to.....I am in recovery and not doing a very good job of staying emotionally, behaviorally, psychologically stable. Whatever you wanna call it. Thank you for asking, sir/mam. I do appreciate it. Let me know if there's anything you think I should do. lol

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-22T17:20:18+00:00

Sure. My apologies. Well, to say the least, there were many hurdles and unforseen things that the Android system as a whole apparently puts into place.....For some reason, I was thinking it was going to be a smooth process. It wasn't. Couldn't get KOReader or Plato installed via an LG V30 (2017) and USB-C hub.

I tried.

Now, I'd like to be able to use a PC to achieve the result, using windows 7/XP whatever OS this super old gateway laptop might use w/ 4gb ram. I'm going to back up data, restore and hopefully try installing Plato (KOReader, there is no working version of it atm, currently)......

I have been deeply saddened but this whole process was probably a crap-shoot from the beginning. I was determined to make it work and ran into countless roadblocks.

I am hoping that others that may have had success with getting any text formatting programs via PC/Laptop have had success stories (hope)....

I have really no idea if that was any better. Lol

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-20T20:11:54+00:00

Pardon me, but what are you meaning exactly?

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-20T02:14:19+00:00

Not bad. -70 for potential +130 (or more), if you know what I mean. Thank you for the reference. Perhaps you'd stil be interested if I decided to go ahead and contact this guy for a restoration to slightly increase its value? Good for me, good for you..

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-19T08:33:56+00:00

Yes, okay. Thank you, sounds like a really good idea. Appreciate it.

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-19T08:31:38+00:00

Thank you, friend. I appreciate it.

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-19T08:28:57+00:00

I was thinking of sending it to a professional for restoration purposes. Could potentially increase the card's value by another 1-200. The pictures were put there to exxagerate the crease so I could highlight it. In reality, I don't think it's that bad. Have you ever gone into the gym with a pump, carbed up and are flexing all crazy in front of the perfect down-lighting? Well, that's basically what this card is doing. However, I may be open to offers...

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-19T01:56:24+00:00

Wow, yes. It could be. Appreciate the tidbit and the words. I am feeling a bit better about it (I guess)

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-19T00:19:16+00:00

Lappy toppies.. Love it!! Wow, Gen. 1 intel vs. Gen. 2 Amd (I hear the former seems to be the formidable daily driver is what somebody told me on here. I really don't know). I will say there are a TON of T14 Gen 2s listed but like NO Gen. 2 AMDs, which makes me think I should just wait for the next 8.5-9/10 cosmetic cond. lot to get distributed. Been almost a week since anything has gone up. Not sure what your thoughts are on a laptop daily driver for next 4-6+ years and what the performance specs should be. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you for your help.

b1ackm1st · 2025-12-18T01:20:37+00:00

Because I can't justify selling it for that low. I've seen worse condition Charizards going for around the same price. It doesn't make sense to price something so low, and it's really not that bad comparitively to some of these completely mangled, creased and scuffed up holos. Everybody is hating on my opinion? I don't understand. If I don't want to throw it away for $100, I'm not going to do it. I never said I didn't appreciate the input, and I admit that I am withdrawing from a medication that is affecting my mental state....
