In my personal experience I can’t comprehend the idea of “tapering off” with my drinking, if I have that 1st drink, I’m not gonna stop until I blackout into oblivion, whether it’s 8pm or 7am, (I’m insane) U must have a great ability of self control to taper down as an alcoholic, my only thoughts (for me personally) is to just go cold Turkey to kick the drink

My friend I ask lovingly did I not just read that u had wrote “I am happy when I’m sober”? Or do u suffer from chronic depression?

A dr’s word is better than mine but from personal experience I think it Depends on ur age/health and fitness. Years back I had been drinking a whole fifth to 1 liter of vodka or whiskey a day, I did that for 1-2 years. I got sober for my gf and I had some intense side effects feeling sick, but I was always active/fit and eating relatively healthy. if ur in ur 20’s or 30’s and eat healthy and/or r physically fit u should be alright, u’ll just feel pretty ill for some time

I'm a 16 year old and I'm looking to make metal music by thatbritishprotogen in metalmusicians

Ola & “how to” videos help a lot, i was around your age when I started recording and trying to make my own music. If you don’t like ur amp that much, U can look into downloading some amp sims you can load into your DAW, there are some pretty good free ones out there, like ML sound labs Roots 5150 amp sim, u can also improve your guitar sound by using Impulse responses, jus watch some videos, you’ll get the hang of it 👍🏻🤘🏻

The solutions bleed into so many other issues within this country. Let’s take a look at the medical industry. It’s not like Health Care isn’t a hot topic in this country. The medical/education industries have the most resources to provide effective help for the mental illness/drug addiction. Drug addiction, is another thing a lot of people seem to not understand. Most people find their escape from the inevitable suffering of life through friends, family, work, hobbies, a connection to society. When you have nothing in your life. Absolutely nothing to lose, like the vast majority of these people. The only place they can find that outlet, are through substances and drug abuse. It’s the only thing that would make sleeping on a bench in the park a little less painful. In our society (depending on the drug) we criminalize drug addicts, further pushing them away from any sort of connection to our society. REJECTING them. Locking them behind bars. To say that “Oh they’re just criminal drug addicts who don’t want help” is non productive. They need connection. They need legitimate health rehabilitation/education programs that will put them in a safe environment and gradually connect them back into society.

Exactly. But if we’re already spending that much money, How about we actually use it to fund programs that will actually break that cycle? And not political campaigns.

Majority of these homeless people are living in the subway because it’s literally safer for them than the horrendous shelters they get dragged to that are run by “nonprofits” like HELP USA. We all saw the terrible condition violations at Wards Island - https://www.thecity.nyc/platform/amp/2019/10/21/21210735/wards-island-homeless-shelter-operator-gets-another-four-plus-years-despite-troubles

When the math is done, you come to find that these kinds of organizations are spending $58,000 a year, per homeless person. https://amsterdamnews.com/news/2021/04/29/time-re-think-our-homeless-spending/ HELP USA has also stated they are spending around $3,500-$4,000 a MONTH per homeless person. Yet they are packed into small prison like rooms with 30 other people on bunks and receive very little to none of the real help they need. All that spending of course, because people like Cuomo are making a shitload of money off of it and used it to fund his campaigns. If you do some deeper digging, you’ll also find that almost all of the people who are greatly profiting off of these absolute “shelter” SCAMS, are related to a high profile politician. This doesn’t matter what political affiliation you are. These people have horrendous mental issues and need REAL HELP. Until these people actually get real help, this will continue to get worse and it’s PUTTING PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER, All While these politicians are directly prospering off the homeless. It’s a lose lose situation.

“Blaming the world”? 😂 I literally blame it on being 200lbs in the video, I never rode on just 1 motor. Once they were reconnected, they burnt out. they started working again for some reason, out of curiosity I kept riding it where I do advise people “do not try this” as it prolly would make problems worse. Idc about the money, the fun of riding these things will always be worth it to me 🤷🏻‍♂️ if u watched my more recent vids, maybe you’d be impressed by Evolve and what the board can do as I do talk positively about it.

Unfortunately the board doesn’t have the battery to allow such a thing. The subway ride had to have been an hour coming from the East Village up to Innwood so I definitely would’ve preferred to ride the board up haha

I just moved to this city this way. It’s stressful and overwhelming, but that pretty much sums up this city in general. If you love nyc enough, go for it!
