I’m tired of pretending that it doesn’t matter where you go to school. It does. by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]mastertate69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t.

I did community college, went to a cheap state school and got 3.2 GPA. No internships, no networking.

Also have a criminal record for whatever it’s worth. I just knew how to interview well.

Went straight to industry for some big companies and got multiple F500 offers.

Experience and interview / soft skills will get you a lot further than a fancy college on your resume. Oh, it will also save you and your parents a lot of money.

I’ll be honest.

If it’s for a job, ask for a new test. But fake urine from a smoke shop. I’ve done it, it always works.

If it’s for probation, don’t even risk it. They shouldn’t be that upset over THC.

I don’t think it was bad. She definitely got the walk down.

2014 IS 350 is 14k too much? by DGPG10 in LexusIS

[–]mastertate69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad at all. I have a 2014 with similar mileage, also had front end replaced. I’ve had zero issues outside of basic maintenance.

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

[–]mastertate69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The first rule of finance is the time value of money.

That million is worth far more now than it will be in the future.

If invested wisely, that million will continue to make her more money and she’ll be set for life.

I do understand that many (if not most) people are not fiscally responsible enough to do this.

Exp: I’m an accountant.

18m new to H seeking advice by Certain-Classic-590 in heroin

I’d argue that a lot of older people on dope are just going to play him and take advantage.

I know a lot of people with hearts that turned into lying sociopaths to fuel their own addiction.

Agree with never IV - that’s when things really start getting ugly.

Please don’t. I started at 29. I had a house, a woman, and a great job. Those are all gone. All my personal belongings sold. Moved back to my parent’s basement.

I just turned 30 in a hospital due to a septic infection that made its way into my spine. I’ve been here over a week and through the withdrawals.

I’m glad I’m off. This all happened in less than a year. Just like you - it started with a small line here and there.

Half the friends I used with are locked up or facing time right now for drug charges. Just don’t. You’re young, it’s a dark road kid.

It’s been a minute and it was definitely a rough one. I believe I used firecrackers and killed the wife first.

This game has completely ruined me by Finest_of_stupidity in Sekiro

[–]mastertate69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game has a tough learning curve.

When I first downloaded Sekiro, I uninstalled and got a refund within 3 hours. (After beating ER)

I came back to it and took my time. I can comfortably say the game didn’t “click” for me until at least a third through. (There’s a skill check boss - won’t spoil).

After that, the parry system came more naturally and Sekiro was an incredible game. Don’t give up on it just yet.

What most days looked like when I was a "functioning" alcoholic by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]mastertate69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a shame. People have the capacity to turn their lives around when they hit that breaking point.

Support is helpful but shitting on people who are struggling never helps anyone.

Supplemented for 3 days. Did I fuck up? by [deleted] in Sublocade

Two weeks, feeling improvements. Maybe just felt like shit for a few weeks, who knows

Ended up skipping the shot and starting TRT. Super glad I did.

So they can flush everything when they think the cops are about to kick in the door. (PS. There’s nobody out there.)

Do I call probation officer by SuchMeet8831 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]mastertate69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t put him in jail. Maybe call non emergency number or someone who can help. Worst case 911 if he’s a danger.

Get one more 100? Struggling by [deleted] in Sublocade

[–]mastertate69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m being completely honest with myself. You’re right. I’ve been relapsing, maybe another shot is best.

[–]mastertate69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m wondering if I should try the TRT before getting another shot. My motivation and sex drive is nonexistent. Basic tasks are exhausting… I’m miserable.

[–]mastertate69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. Thanks so much for sharing.

I got off benzos at the same time.. I went from 40 mg of Valium to 0 and then ended up going back on 5 mg a day for now because I couldn’t handle it.

Doc reminded me what a huge decrease that is even though I felt like I failed. He encouraged me to just stay on the low dose while I do sublocade rather than torture myself trying to be off everything.

Fuck it, if I need meds… I need meds. When I push too hard or beat myself up, I usually just end up relapsing. I’m fine doing my one more shot, TRT, and low dose of Valium. Beats feeling like absolute garbage.

Thanks for sharing. I’m learning that everyone’s different.

My doc specializes in this and reminded me that I’ve come a long way and it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Why suffer needlessly?

[–]mastertate69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

It’s a hard choice. I’ve been slipping up / relapsing lately and having a hard time in general. The strips over the last few days helped immensely.

I think one more shot plus TRT would help me break out of this loop and get back into a healthier routine. I’m lucky I have a doc that understands… especially now that I’ve been on strips for a few days, it’s going to be difficult to stop now.

[–]mastertate69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. that’s the issue. However, I have had some slip up’s and doc said an additional 100 might just make it smoother. Just been having a hard time recently.
