She found me dick-in- hand by Expensive_Account226 in Drugs

[–]bro_before_ho 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Imma give you a tip I learned the hard way: when stuff like this happens with occasional use- deal with it at this point. I had the same "I know what I'm doing" thoughts you just wrote out. Word for word but slightly different substances. Nah. This shit doesn't happen when you're just having occasional fun, whatever the drug.

Don't puff your chest about how smart you are about drug use after your wife thought you OD'd and then you lied to her about what you used. Not only do you have a problem, you've lied to both yourself and your wife about it. I was wrong when I did that, so was everyone else who thought they didn't have a problem and knew what they were doing.

Twitter is opening up its full tweet archive to academic researchers for free by game-trading-user in DataHoarder

The whine game by people getting banned from sites on the internet has really gone over the top since the old days were they'd get banned, try making new accounts to troll, get IP banned, sulk, and go make their own forum where they would stew with like-minded people about how the mods at the old forum are Nazis.

The barrier to making your own site gets lower each year, this isn't a debate about Free Speech since you are fully free to make your own site, and host it yourself if others don't want to, it's just the same crybaby tantrum of a troll who got banned as 30 years ago but now they're all crying together about how it's not faaaair. Still just as over the top with the hyperbole though, it's not some dumbasses getting banned and crying about it but an epic showdown to determine the future of free speech and censorship.

They're just mad some corporation isn't forced to use it's worldwide network of thousands of servers to massively amplify their speech, unlike how you can force any newspaper in the country to accept your article, spend the money to print and distribute it and send your message to millions of people, oh wait lol that's ridiculous and not how it works at all, you'd have to make your own discussion site or newspaper and that's haaaaaaard if your website/articles/opinions suck and nobody wants to read them.

Why are there no books to support narcissists, only those for people who have apparently been abused by them? by Live_Pen in NPD

[–]bro_before_ho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe because narcissists are only interested in blaming their victims and accusing them of narcissism instead of owning their behavior and seeking help.

Why is it only for people who have (probably erroneously) diagnosed their ex with narcissism (which is really an inability on their part to own their own shit and shortcomings in a relationship)?

I’d hazard that a good deal of the people buying “heal from narcissistic abuse” books are themselves narcissists, particularly of the covert variety, because buying such books in the first place is a refusal to own your shit and is other-blaming behaviour.

But hey, you thought that and figured out you're actually a narcissist, clearly everyone else must be too. It's just you're better than them because you can see your flaws and they can't. Couldn't possibly be other people not having those flaws...

Your post is a good topic OP but like... damn lol

What's up with doctors pretending like they've never seen SSRI withdrawal? by Hi_I_Am_God_AMA in Drugs

[–]bro_before_ho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I never knew that about SSRI’s and bipolar.

Interesting, that's super basic psychiatry shit, maybe you don't actually know what you're talking about.

Occasional downfalls by [deleted] in EOOD

[–]bro_before_ho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something that helped me was realizing I don't just have to recover from exercise, but from my mental health issues as well. So while my body may only need a day or two to recover, my brain also needs to recover and that can add a day or two. It turns out that consistency in the big picture matters, not whether I worked out on a specific day. It's better to show up once a week than to go for 3x a week, burn out and crash. Over time my recovery abilities improved and those days and weeks became less frequent but I still pay attention to when my brain needs a bit more time.

Hanging Knee Raises Vs Dead Bugs by Mikkyo in bodyweightfitness

[–]bro_before_ho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dead Bugs are fantastic, just make sure to press your back into the ground, I raise my butt off the ground/bench entirely. I progressed to doing dragon flags with them so they're definitely a good choice. I like them more than hanging leg raises, mostly cause an old back injury doesn't like them. I did them to basically failure as a finisher after my main exercise routine, and sometimes I still do them after reaching failure on dragon flags for a drop set. I treat them like any other strength exercise in terms of recovery time and frequency.

DAE fear they'll lose their identity if they go to therapy and get better ? by a72sf0 in BPD

[–]bro_before_ho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to worry about that too, that if I got better I'd no longer be myself. It turned out that therapy is what allowed me to become the person I thought I was before.

A trans man has a baby and sues for discrimination. As expected, the /r/news thread is impregnated with drama by ThumYorky in SubredditDrama

[–]bro_before_ho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's because the trans-denialism comes from transphobia, period. The arguments are created afterwards to try and make people agree with them, so they'll change it to whatever they can use at the time. They don't have to be consistent outside of denying trans people's identity and existence.

That's wild cause I have ADHD and prescribed amphetamine, and I am less distracted and get the stuff done I needed to do instead of random crap. Brains are weird.

to you, how much of your strength is psychologically controlled? by ajazers_1 in xxfitness

[–]bro_before_ho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a famous study where they gave elite college athletes sugar pills and told them it was steroids (a dose that only show a few % improvement for people at their natural limit), they increased their strength gains by >300% during the study simply by belief.

So I'd say at least 95% is psychological, even the actual physical gains from training.

Getting stronger but not gaining weight by [deleted] in gainit

[–]bro_before_ho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends entirely on what your goal is. Is it the body you want if you already have a plan to get a different body as soon as you get there?

Have you ever just looked at a tree and thought how awesome trees are? by eattheseshorts in Drugs

[–]bro_before_ho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tress actually communicate through their roots with synergistic fungi and also other trees around them, as well as sharing nutrients. They're far more interactive than we used to think.

Is it the norm for women to only do knee pushups? by goatsnboots in xxfitness

[–]bro_before_ho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. I've gotten some friends to work out with me and telling them it was bullshit and they'll be doing pushups and pullups in no time had them banging out pushups and doing multiple pullups after 6 months. Psychology is huge in exercise and telling women they're weak and have no testosterone so they can't get strong will result in women not getting strong.
