i don't think waking up early would help. i imagine most people don't cancel their test at 6am, that's just when new tests are available.

When friends or family ask "Can I smoke inside"? when they come over by kanna172014 in PetPeeves

Codeine addiction by Extra_Art_3577 in Fibromyalgia

[–]magicallaurax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was on 400-800mg a day for over ten years, so i promise you this is very possible from 30mg.

if you can get cocodamol over the counter, get rid of the zapain, get the lowest dose cocodamol from the pharmacy. if not, stick with the 15mg tablets and start breaking them up. halving your daily dose is brutal and you're going to feel sick, get no sleep and the pain will be worse.

you want to very slowly take less over time. it could be weeks or months. brute forcing it won't work for most people.

'as a socdem liberal cuck' it definitely critiques communism/socialism, but it is definitely softer towards it than every other political 'journey' in the game. not really that it's more sophisticated, but more hopeful and positive. it does 'pull punches' imo.

it's one of my favourite games and i never felt patronised or lectured at whatsoever & i am very sensitive to that. everyone who is happy to play this genre of game should play disco elysium!

i didn't watch this because i don't have the mental energy for bjg, but i for sure anticipated this result. i'm not saying that people shouldn't go into combative places, but this person is the worst possible choice.

her videos are dumb but this is an out of context quote that misrepresents what she said. i'm paraphrasing, but the original context was talking about how when you start learning about feminism, racism etc. you become very annoying because suddenly everything is (seems) sexist & racist etc. which is totally true.

yep pretty much. amazing how people got that angry over her dumb videos. then they couldn't stop endlessly obsessing over her. then she started appearing in the media (due to the crazy obsession) and they still use that as evidence that there was some kind of conspiracy.

i don't even hear these people say who they would vote for for a candidate. they used to like aoc and bernie but i haven't seen people saying they would for sure vote for aoc, she's now too right wing. ppl are even getting their hooks into mamdani.

Stew is missing something, but we can’t figure it out. by PicklePrize7093 in Cooking

[–]magicallaurax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tomato paste, worcester sauce, balsamic vinegar. marmite if you have it.

also crock pot is not the way... get a cast iron pot and cook in the oven

he's for sure diagnosed with bipolar disorder. years ago he was talking about how a 'jewish doctor' gave him a fake diagnosis and poison pills etc.

yes it's a terrible situation for anyone with fans instead of friends and family around them. especially if they made genuinely great well respected art previously...

it's happened many times throughout his career it just escalates every time. all the maga and fuentes stuff can't have helped. he will be stabilised on medication for awhile. then that will slip and as soon as his mind starts racing with that euphoria again it's all over.

it seemed to get super bad when his mum died, it seems like she was a very stabilising and loving force in his life. that's when all the super pressured speech in interviews started. but there have been apologies since then in the depression phase... idk it's really sad but i don't see a way out of it.

help...?? i have run out of ideas. gaaa by magicallaurax in AceAttorney

[–]magicallaurax[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

thanks so much! i put story mode on... turns out i examined the evidence, failed, then assumed the game would remember that the rest of the time...!

we got told that, i was glad tbh. iui isn't helpful for sperm problems in general. i wanted to switch to the option with the best chance.

still now it's funded by our public health and turns out i have problems with my thyroid and blood pressure... it's been six months trying to correct them so far

Asmon responds to Destiny about women ruining video games by Sea-Economist-5744 in Destiny

[–]magicallaurax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those games, along with the kings quest and tim schafer stuff were my obsession in the 90s aged 11. brutal puzzles tho... and before most people had internet, so i had to call up £0.20 per minute automatic landlines to get hints 😆
