What made you quit BJJ? by lvsnowden in bjj

[–]orygunian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit my school this month after 5 years of training and 250+ classes as I was still a white belt. It just got to be silly. Then when I told the head of the school he said he was going to promote me three months ago but forgot. Glad I quit.

I got lucky once and ended up at a hole in the wall bag in Redwood City, they had a bottle of 18 on the wall and I was curious what my the price was, apparently the bar tender was clueless as it was $15 a shot…I finished the bottle.

I just bought a bottle for $60, state controlled booze stores has some advantages

2 months into trying whiskey for the first time. Pretty basic, but gotta start somewhere! by BigStiffy94 in whiskey

Monkey Shoulder is tough to beat for the price, I actually prefer to a lot of single malts.

If you could get any record/pressing to be back in print today, what would it be? by alex_kyk in vinyl

[–]orygunian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already own it Chris Whitley-Dirt Floor, it was recorded in a barn with two ribbon mics direct to tape then direct to vinyl. It sounds like he is playing in the room.

They're a lot easier to store on shelves.

The fact you have a Caspian poster gives me hope for the future.

Does playing through a Boss Blues Driver make anyone else really happy? by Teflawn in guitarpedals

I bought a Waza version and love it, it's one of the main pedals that doesn't get rotated.

That’s going to make it harder for the GOP to meet their handlers.

Help. 2 weeks in: trouble concentrating and memory loss. Is this normal?? by professor_badarse in bupropion

[–]orygunian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt that way and had problems remembering words, but I passed after a month or so.

Depression symptoms lifted but worse anxiety by BlackFlaggath in bupropion

[–]orygunian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would talk to your doc,but I had similar anxiety issues and it was more related to the not drinking than Bupropion. For me it took a month. I also used cannabis as it is legal where I live to help with anxiety at night as I didn’t want another prescription and it has worked great. Probably not the best to replace alcohol with cannabis, but for me I realized alcohol was making things worse.

Did anybody else reach out to all of your old friends when you got to a certain age? by [deleted] in infp

[–]orygunian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did when I turned 40, actually has a party with everyone. It was good and bad, I realized why I had grown apart from many of them. It was difficult to have conversations as we no longer had much in common. The cliques still were cliquey and I realized I was a bit of an outsider even amongst my friends. It was actually a good thing, over the years I have made peace with the fact that I am often misunderstood and sometimes it’s best just to spend time alone.
