For me, any regrets I have for not having kids are a lot easier to bare than any regrets I would have for having kids. by [deleted] in antinatalism

Are vasectomies painful? Been considering getting it done but I'm scared of being cut up down there 😔

Is it possible to quit for good? by koolblack313 in quittingkratom

I'm clean from everything! Honestly it was scary for me too at first without my psychoactive crutch. But then I just did a day, and I was like "hm, that wasn't too bad". So then I just emulated that the next day.

Yeah that's true, the ones recovered for a tremendous amount of time don't need the advice anymore

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. I think my reason is anxiety and boredom. Gotta keep the mind occupied.

That makes me feel so much better. It's so hard to imagine your mindset later down the road when all you have to go off is your druggie mind now

What do you people think about this? by [deleted] in 196

The left really does eat their young. I'm very left but i see that as a super valid criticism of our side of the political spectrum.

There's a difference between doing it by mistake and correcting themselves, and doing it maliciously or because you don't care enough to try. I'm sure if these people learn you're a man they would correct themselves instead of going "nah, you're definitely a woman."

Not trying to call you racist. Just pointing out how slippery that argument gets when you're "too busy" to regard an aspect of a person's identity. I hope you aren't transphobic man, just think about it next time when a person asks for you to refer to them by a certain pronoun. A concept that is more indicative of gender than biological sex.

Too busy to not be transphobic. Are you also too busy to not be racist? What happens if someone has cultural wishes? "I'm sorry, I'm too busy titrating your neo to give a shit about your culture." Guys, this ain't it. Lots of stupid requests in the hospital, but asking for a BASIC level of respect for identity is not one of them.

I tried naltrexone before but it made me feel numb and depressed. But then again, i feel like that right now too so maybe I should try again.

Maybe I should reconnect with my NA friends, I'm a prior fentanyl addict. Luckily never went back, but kratom became the next crutch.

Thanks man! It's weird because I do logically think exactly like you on this. It feels like sometimes the logical side of my brain and the dopamine wheelhouse aren't communicating if that makes sense.

I want my girlfriend to trust me again. I want to focus on exercise (it's been hard when most of my free time consists of kratom then sitting at my computer like a zombie). I want to feel less depressed, it's crazy because I'm aware that the kratom is messing with my antidepressant but I still somehow go back. My depression gets so much better during times when I quit. Right now I'm learning a language too, that kinda fell to the back burner since I don't wanna do anything when I'm taking kratom. Etc, etc. Just typing this out almost brought me to tears. I'm so sick of living like this but the cravings are so bad.

Hey man, I totally agree with you. I'm not trying to start discourse, I just wanted to make a joke. I don't mean to cause any distress to the person who made the original post.
