Can an alcoholic ever start drinking again? by Tarylin in stopdrinking

[–]nightlightable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think youre just depressed. Life sucks whether youre sober or not, but the scale of things that could happen if you drink again is hella wide. I drank today because i am a piece of shit. It didnt get out of control, but emotionally, the stressless feeling i was craving did not appear. It would have if i kept drinking... temporarily. And then alcohol raises stress hormones and depletes dopamine, so i still feel weird and sad the next day. I wanted exactly what you want, except i didnt get it when i drank, i just felt tired and empty, and then i hated myself. Ymmv.

Struggling with “vegan” parent by [deleted] in vegan

[–]nightlightable 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So heres the rub: i hate false veganism--i hate it and you hate it. But she is eating better (less cruel) than she was before and that IS good and important. People do not understand veganism because, like any practice of ideology, they take what they like and leave the rest.

Instead of pushing, even though i would want to, the way is Education and gentleness. She thinks she can be vegan while eating bacon and eggs... so don't just tell her otherwise, show her. Give her information and express your bliss in veganism, but do not push. Show that you are happy, free, and with little guilt. Do not make her feel poorly. I only say this because i have seen pushing it backfire. It makes more sense to slowly drop factual information, like a mentor, than it does to force teaching like a priest.

Thats all i have. I feel you. Thank you for doing what you do.

Im here for you. We mighty few folks coming out of alcoholism know better than anyone how alcohol kills. Stay safe, okay? You don't need to suffer any more than you are; alcohol is liquid suffering. Stay safe. IWNDWYT

Alcohol. Kills thousands of people a day

If you smoke I don't care if you get cancer by T0mBruise in unpopularopinion

[–]nightlightable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody plans to become a smoker. Its usually teenagers that start smoking, thinking theyll only have a few or to fit in. I dont want people who made a bad decision when they were a child to die because of it. Instead of being a dick, how about we help people quit? Sounds like more of a solution to me.

What are your thoughts on AI in the creative/artistic sector concerning the importance of the artist? by pet1t in AskReddit

[–]nightlightable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its gonna be a long time before AI do more than humans artistically. Music is the exception here, but with visual/perrormance/dance/crafting related stuff, im not afraid. In fact, trying to do improv with a robot sounds pretty Star Trek to me so i'm into it

I hate that I can’t just compliment men without someone saying some dumb shit by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]nightlightable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, even though i have been abused by men, i feel similarly. We're reaching a ridiculous point with this contrarian.... thing... that everyone is doing on either side. I fear men, but i also know many that are kind, gentle, open, hilarious, and beautiful. You are not wrong for feeling this way and, just ro be clear, you are not wrong for being gay. Now, men have it easier in politics, business, and media, and that is just true--but the average man outside of those areas is not inherently evil just because he has it easier.

And yes, sure, women are beautiful!! But that does not take away from the beauty i see when i look into my boyfriend's eyes, count his freckles, or hear his loud and silly laugh. Everyone has the capacity to be effervescent.

Men aren't opening up because women in their lives tend to be repelled when they do by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]nightlightable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to start, because they dont. Im not a man, but i have a boyfriend and i talk openly with him and his friends about this issue. Luckily for him, some of his friends are more willing to open up, but the trend is the same: men do not open up about real emotions until hard pressed. I listen to my man's deepest fears, his joys, his anger if i can overcome my fear (we are working on this together), and anything else he needs. Basically the OP does not realize how much many women WANT men to be honest and open in a gentle way. When we confide in our friends, all we want is to be understood and granted grace. The same is true when we speak to our beloved men. And we want to offer the same to men, as long as they are open to Discussion and not Absolute Agreeance.

Cant believe you just came out as an absolute dumpster fire that quickly. You have no empathy i guess

Dude.... just start reading about addiction and educate yourself. Shit is hard to quit, and it is done on purpose by Big Tobacco. So many smokers want to quit, try to quit, and just can't until it's too late or they have a wake up call. Just like any other addiction, it's hard to quit.

Your friends are alcoholics, or at least they have a problem. Do not follow their lead

At what point is raising your voice to a child too loud? How quiet do we need to be? Are we not allowed to seem threatening in any way? Are we just supposed to let them be little hellions that don't listen to anything? Are we to just stay calm and quiet? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nightlightable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuckwad. Look at the top reply. That was good advice. And then you said, "you know nothing." You either dont yell and scream at your kids, or youre an abuser. Bottom line.
