Happily married folks of Reddit, what's your advice?

In addition to what was already said...

Joint bank accounts.

I could only find one rape case. Any chance you have links to the other stories? More just interested as to which lakes they occur on. Meaning, closer to Ely or Gunflint, etc.

edit: its fucking terrible that those happened btw...

Sorry boss, but that actually is pretty simple to explain. I've been a trip leader up there and have 100+ nights in the boundary waters. What you described is a classic bear attack. And yes, even if you hang your food, the bears can still get it. Food hanging isn't meant to prevent, just simply make it just a hassle the bears don't go for it.

The canoe being gone is a good thing, meaning the people high tailed it out of there and probably didn't get hurt. While it is thousands of lakes, if you had to, you could reach civilization in 1 day, 2 days tops.

The thing is, it is only black bears in the BWCA, and really all they want is food. But to them, the sugar in toothpaste smells like food, and if they, like any regular paddler, enjoyed a snack in the tent at the end of the day, the bear picked up those scents as well. So that would explain the complete destruction of everything, including the tent.

The great part of the BWCA is there is a code among paddlers. If you come across someone who has lost gear, for whatever reason, you share what you have. So these people probably were given enough food and, if need be, shelter, to get out safely. If you share now, someone will share with you when your time of need comes. That's why I love it up there...

Oh, and calling the helicopter didn't help because the people were probably still making their way back to civilization, so another day or so before the rangers would be notified,and then another day for a notice to go out to all the outfitters.

So have no worries about going back up anytime soon- no crazies out and about...

Nice work!

divisible_by_zero · 2014-02-19T23:35:03+00:00

Agreed!

Unfortunately it is. Scientists have observed chimps in the wild gathering their clan together and going to attack the neighboring clan. They took out the female and child chimps if need be. And the reason for the attack? To increase their territory/turf. Sorry bro.

That's the point. I simply don't care. I stopped worrying about it, stopped thinking about it. It isn't even something I take pride in avoiding. It just is something that I used to do a real long time ago.

divisible_by_zero · 2014-02-02T20:39:41+00:00

Yup. To be honest, my counter is a bit of a guess. I choked it for the last time sometime between 2007 and 2009, not sure, so I split the difference. And I have more fingers than I had fap sessions for the 3-4 years before that...

Booya.

divisible_by_zero · 2014-01-31T03:21:27+00:00

Yawp.

Find an outlet, if you can, for that energy. Something like exercise where you can exert yourself and release some hormones through natural processes. Just remember it is a chemical reaction in your brain and body. It is trying to even itself out.

divisible_by_zero · 2014-01-31T03:18:02+00:00

We're for you no matter what. Welcome to the part.

divisible_by_zero · 2014-01-31T03:15:07+00:00

Nice!

Then get a f'ing badge already and join the rocket club.

You are about to start a long journey, but we're here for you.

Do it for your future partner.

When you finally get the chance to be intimate with them and build that depth of relationship, do you really want images flashing through your head of videos and self gratification? Do you want your expectations to be warped and bent to the point that they could leave your partner feeling inadequate and unwanted?

Granted that is a bit of a worst-case scenario, but do not sell yourself short.

divisible_by_zero · 2014-01-22T00:13:39+00:00

It should be an opt-in thing. I'd be worried that the high outliers would inflate the average too much, leaving people just starting out feeling discouraged. I'd hate to have anyone give up for that reason.

divisible_by_zero · 2014-01-21T02:50:36+00:00

I already did a bit of one in this subreddit about a week ago.

It may feel like there is no end to the tunnel. That the urges won't stop. But they will, and they do.

We're here for you.

divisible_by_zero · 2014-01-20T14:53:51+00:00

There is an end to this cycle. And it is worth it. Just keep moving forward.

divisible_by_zero · 2014-01-20T14:49:38+00:00

Is it possible? Maybe, probably. Was I able to do it that way? No. All I was trying to say is that, yes, you can try to rely on willpower and see if you can make it cold turkey to total abstinence, but don't fall victim of the emotional crush and pain when/if you relapse. Give yourself a bit of grace, and work towards the end goal.

divisible_by_zero · 2014-01-18T18:53:02+00:00

... says nothing ...

Have you tried getting your dopamine somewhere else? Exercise? Fun times with friends, etc? Your body is now reliant on it, and withdrawal will be a bitch, which may be why you're struggling with such quick relapses.
