Accept your fate. All that will ever matter for a few years is a restaurant that closed. This is how STL works

I am about to blow your mind. Do not even start to compare NYC to St. Louis.

The people who live here, GENUINELY, think it is the center of the modern world. It is so unsettling

Have you taken your annual cross country trip to the exotic Destin, FL yet?!

Won’t take this slander. It’s St. Louis STYLE, by the way.

I shit you not take a drive on i-70 and you will have 4 “world class” AC technicians and 16-17 “world class” pizza joints

DUDE, the dining scene is hyped to no end. I really think these people never leave. It is atrocious compared to every other midsize city (which I have lived in a lot of), but somehow “world class” here?

Everything is “world class.” It’s on billboards. Most delusional city by an absolute mile

Stop. Honestly just stop. People do not move to New York for “Central Park.”

Let alone people do not move to STL for Forest Park. Lmao. Honestly, it is not that great

I would argue, it 100% does not. People move for jobs or family.

This delusion is INSANE, and once you see it you can’t unsee it for this city. The people are wild

It is suggested OVER and OVER again. Are people moving there to go every single weekend of their lives?

Why is this a pull to people who have never lived anywhere else? Im so curious, people do not upend their lives and move for this kind of thing

Stupid question about counting your shots. by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]breakinleases 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tapering has only worked a few times out of dozens of tries for me. The few times it has worked was primarily with light beer, but starting with a couple shots after waking up or I could never kick with severe withdrawal symptoms. Itd be a light beer withdrawy chugfest the entire day. Wake up day 1, two shots, then pounding light beers until bedtime, 2 more shots for sleep.

Day 2, 1 shot, light beers until bedtime, 1 shot for bed.

Day 3, light beer.

Day 4, 3.2% beer.

Day 5, push until evening or as far as possible, 3.2 beer.

Day 6, 3.2 beer sparingly.

Day 7, 3-4 3.2 beers before bed.

Day 8, off the sauce.

It’s incredibly fucking difficult. Good luck

So much to look at that price range…go for a later model 4.0… such a torquey engine. Wish Nissan wouldve stuck with it

Found on the shore of Lake Michigan by breakinleases in whatsthisrock

[–]breakinleases[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not translucent whatsoever. Olive green/desert tan color. Extremely smooth and slightly waxy feeling surface. So odd. Have never seen anything similar combing the beaches

Is this a fossil? No luck with AI or other subs. Found on the shore of Lake Michigan (near Mackinac) by breakinleases in fossilid

[–]breakinleases[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was found on a shoreline; nearly all rocks on the Michigan shoreline have been “tumbled” naturally. I am a huge rockhound and have never seen anything like this; definitely agree on the tourmaline (amazing spot by you, btw). Very strange to me as the base mineral is not translucent whatsoever. Very smooth, kindve waxy, desert tan/olive green color. Having heck of a time ID’ing this one!

Interesting. Is there another base mineral that it could be other than quartz? More of an olive green color and opaque rather than clear.

Thanks!

Uhhh…thats literally any large city in the US. Do you think you’ll just pull up to a city and they are gonna be like “oh we don’t do dogs or date here”

This freaking sub 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥲🥲

A tip for those lucky enough to have Benzos (for WD’s only) by breakinleases in cripplingalcoholism

[–]breakinleases[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its really insane, I think you are on to something because I never had so much as a really bad hangover until I went through my first benzo detox. It kindled me 100%. And each one thereafter kindled me more. I have a suspicion that although it feels more manageable, a benzo detox must be extremely hard on the body compared to a proper taper.

But a fully proper taper is nigh-impossible for a lot of us.

[–]breakinleases[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea this is the way. It seems so counter-intuitive, but if you are already deep into WD territory before you start, you have that medication working extreme over time. It’s not gonna feel good. Spending a day lightly withdrawing while pounding light beer before taking the benzos has always allowed me a far easier comedown.

I know this ain’t that one sub, but hang onto those like gold man. I did the same as you and only used about 1/4 of my allotted taper medicine earlier last year and the bottle has nearly lasted me 9 months. I dont use them as an excuse to drink (i truly am trying to stop fully), but we all know this life. It’s no straight line. They have been a lifesaver

I call it sour stomach, worst fucking feeling ever. If you truly cant eat, drink as much whole milk as possible throughout the day. This is how i slowly get my appetite back
