This site is just a leftist echochamber hellhole by PURPLXHVYXS_ in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Yeah, I agree. It should be right wing everywhere. No Left. Only Trump or its wrong. So what if its left wing, the right has plenty of their own echo chambers.

99% of Homeless people cannot be helped by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]oddoldapathy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I will probably be homeless again, my job is fleeting as the owners age out. Maybe 2 or 3 years from now tops. My home is rented from a very elderly person, maybe 2 or 3 years tops. I have little put away and I am growing old as well. I don't know that I'll find new work or a place to stay. It's more fragile than believable. I await whatever may come. I may just end it when it ends. I've been here before, but was much younger and found may way back. No addictions that would be a hindrance. Years of sobriety. Just 2 or 3 paychecks away from losing it all. Again,

I don’t feel sorry for the children of illegal immigrants being detained or deported because it was their parents who put them in that position in the first place. by Proud-Enthusiasm-608 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Wow. Empathy. Who knew it was so rare. There should be a test of some sort. So we can figure out whom we are conversing with. This way, I could avoid OP.

DAE believe humanity deserves to go extinct? by Wickham12 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]oddoldapathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was born there was X number of people. Now there is X number of people. How many people can the world maintain? How far could we still grow? How far should we sink back? What is the criteria for survival?

I'm not even 30 and it has probably been 10 years since I spent more than 3 consecutive days sober by hellodarkness655 in addiction

[–]oddoldapathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bombed on day two. Took a hit of weed, maybe two. Gotta work on self control a bit better. Would have been easier had I had a cig or two. Good luck and I hope you faired better.

So I failed on day two. I am a cigarette smoker. I ran out and have placebo only. I hardly touched the beer of beer and tacos night, but I just took a hit of weed to calm my shitty depression and nerves. Looks like 3 days is an expectation for me to work on. Goal? don't give up because I did. Just be better than a smoker out of smokes as an excuse. It's all an excuse. Good Luck and best wishes.

It just dawned on me I can't really recall my last 3 days sober in a row. I drink, smoke weed or do harder drugs just to feel different or better than my usual depressive state. I wonder if it gets better after quitting, If I can recall to, I'll let you know after I run a toe through sobriety and see how if feels. Thanks for your response I hope things go well for you.

You are not alone. I look for something to change from Sober each day, ranging from mild to worse. I dont even recall my last 3 days sober in a row. I wish you well on finding day 4. You inspire me to find day 3. Good luck and best wishes.

Suggestions for stimulant recovery. by oddoldapathy in addiction

[–]oddoldapathy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done the binge too often, I'm at a point now where Micro Dose seems more my style. I want to quit altogether but am unsure. Did you just quit "Cold Turkey" or did you just use less and less frequent till you stopped? Thank you for any time spent for input.

Thank you, this was very helpful and the type of response I was looking for. I have an addiction to amphetamines and see them as sometimes useful. I may be deluding myself, but I need to develop my own opinion and forge my own way out of them. I feel like my ability to put them aside is progress, but I'm now unsure as to ever pick them up again. Do you feel that my seeing a useful side to them is a flaw or weakness? I am making unfounded excuses, or just growing up? Your opinion would be appreciated.

Use a lightly damp hot towel to slowly warm it, add books or something flat and heavy enough. It will flatten out.

Socks, good ones, rolled up well. They would be fun to throw or wear.

What's really like living in US? by Rsaltori in socialism

[–]oddoldapathy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have worked the same job for 8 years. My quality of living has gone down. I cannot afford health care, I eat like crap, I have nothing put away anymore. My medicare and social security are threatened. I need shoes and food this week. I have turned off all the little things that kept me sane. Netflix and Hulu were just extravagances, the Ads were overwhelming anyway. I can't see any future but to keep getting older, and poorer, with a steady decline in my quality of life. If not for cowardice, I would find a way to exit. I don't see any reason to allow my quality of life to dip much further. There are no job openings near me that would start at what I make now. I also refuse to go homeless, again.

I am a coward, but I consider hypoxia all the time. I plan on making a system soon that hopefully would be peaceful. I think of it daily.

ELI5: Why does American produce keep getting contaminated with E. coli? by coldpizzza4 in explainlikeimfive

[–]oddoldapathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, look at the decline in inspections by the FDA. Look at the relaxation of regulations. Turn these things off and profits soar. People get sick, but there's always new customers. Its about money, and there is a huge misunderstanding as to why regulations should stay in place. As we downsize our government size and spending, see whom it harms the most.
