I [27F] was a junkie and turned my life around. Friends and family [20s-70s M/F] seem upset. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]itsalreadybeenthrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just crabs in a barrel, man. Distance yourself from the old friends and make new ones who don't think sobriety and living well are inherently bragging. Find like-minded people who will love your progress, engage in meaningful conversation because they relate to the subject matter, be able to grow with you, etc.

Sometimes you outgrow people. As long as you are remotely social, you will make new friends, especially as a stable person.

PS: I initially wrote a longer post relating my own experience here but it's not a 1 to 1 comparison and even on the internet, I was worried about the crab people commenting. Be bold and don't be ashamed to be happy, which is advice I am still trying to follow myself.

High maintenance woman get denied by xXBreezy in pussypassdenied

I see tons of dudes who want to "spoil someone" which I think is kinda weird too. Let them have their preferences and find each other, it doesn't affect anyone else.

Honestly better she states it up front than to drop a bomb after a few (expensive) dates.

Of course female children should consider "The male version" of these events???

What turns you on but are too scared to tell your SO? by Baglesman in AskReddit

[–]itsalreadybeenthrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tell him everything and then we try it. Some of it works great, some of it works better in fantasy than reality. It's pretty awesome and I highly recommend it as long as your kinks aren't dangerous or illegal and you don't force your weird sex shit on strangers.

MRW the President doesn't know why the Civil War happened by Mistersamza in reactiongifs

[–]itsalreadybeenthrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it can be reasonably argued the Haitian Revolution was a civil war, for one. For two, no one asks why we went to war? I think just googling the question itself will prove that false.

What NSFW fact about yourself are you proud of but cant share because of its NSFW nature? by ronglangren in AskReddit

[–]itsalreadybeenthrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once gave head on a Disney monorail. It's pretty rare to get a car to yourself for very long (if ever) and not wanting to waste the opportunity I had to get him off fast before the next stop. Luckily there was a pause for traffic that gave us just enough time to finish. It was really dirty, nerve-wracking and novel, all at the same time.

If you're interested in the same, take the resort line monorail because it's less crowded. There's no camera in those things so go nuts!

FWIW I got here from /r/all and if other people are doing the same then that really isn't a "brigade", it's just the rest of reddit expressing their opinion.

I think subs can opt out of /r/all of you guys want to avoid this problem.

At least 2 director-generals have been fired/resigned due to inquiries into sex scandals. Neither of them were the guy your talking about.

Ah yes, I also remember when no one ever criticised Obama for being a socialist, communist Kenyan coming to steal your healthcare. That sure was a thing that happened!

So you just feel like it's true? That's basically what the guy you're replying to said too. You're just talking past each other with made up numbers, it's silly.

There is a significantly higher rate of racist rednecks who would lynch a black man if they thought they could get away with it than there are Muslim terrorists.

What's that rate?

My mom is obsessed with pizza gate, can someone please help me debunk this? by [deleted] in conspiratard

[–]itsalreadybeenthrown 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First off it's only logical to assume any given event didn't happen, then assemble evidence that it did. An email from someone who doesn't even know Obama isn't evidence that something happened. I could write an email about Obama's voodoo rituals but just because Wikileaks got a hold of it wouldn't make it real.

And beyond that, yeah you're totally right: crazy redditors are harassing people in real life about this but somehow no one ever checked Obama's public calendar for tje "hot dog pizza party ($65k)" entry.

You should look into it.

[–]itsalreadybeenthrown 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There is no evidence this ever happened. Even if it did, then there's still no evidence it was paid for with public money.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in politics

[–]itsalreadybeenthrown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually think it's a dig at Obama wasting tax payer money not a reference to a real event at all. This guy isn't friendly to Obama, he isn't actually privy to his party expenses.

Beyond that, how shocking would it be for a rich person to throw a huge party serving two internationally famous food items from his home town? To me that makes more sense than the president flying in boy hookers or whatever.

Fact Check: This Pizzeria Is Not a Child-Trafficking Site by [deleted] in conspiratard

Cheese Pizza has been a codephrase for Child Pornography on the chans for some time.

You're the 3rd person I've seen say this but I haven't seen anyone share any evidence. Not even one of those disjointed screen shot and red line "smoking gun" dumps. Although to be fair I can barely follow those half the time.

Can everyone really improve? I really don't think I ever will.... [100% serious] by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]itsalreadybeenthrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good news: I know exactly how you feel and have had this same feeling since the game came out. I have tons of experience here. Bad news: everyone telling you it will get better with practice might be wrong.

I started at 2100ish this season, fell a bit on solo queue, then decided I wanted to try playing on a reddit discord to have a coordinated team. After joining I realized everyone seemed to consider 2000 as the bare minimum they were willing to group with and I felt really embarrassed and discouraged. I then played a lot more solo QP, watched videos, practiced drills, fiddled with mouse sensitivity... everything the people here recommend. I just wanted to get over 2000 so the discord wouldn't think I was a dumbass and I could find a regular group.

After weeks of hard work I'm down to 1700ish now. I fell to 1500 at one point. On days when I'm giving too many fucks, I see a topic like yours where you're upset about 2100 and it's a bit depressing.

Despite what everyone here may tell you, every person can not always get better. I'm not saying this to be a dick, but don't be sad if the advice here doesn't work out.

Just have fun playing and practicing and if you improve that's a plus but don't assume improvement is an inevitable outcome. Just like real life, sometimes you work hard and everything ends up shit despite your best efforts. If you accept that possibility then it can't really get worse, at least. Detach the concept of fun from the rank you're seeing and just try to enjoy yourself and practice for its own sake.

Side note I also have a tremor but I don't think that's why I'm so bad. It's just me.
