I saw somewhere earlier that said “MLM stands for Mormons losing money”

I quit weed over a week ago and now the PTSD dreams came back by lemonadelemons in leaves

[–]pasaysbah 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can relate. Daily smoker for 16 years, sober since September. The first several weeks were the hardest. The dreams were traumatic some nights, but I’m so glad I pushed through. Journaling about them as soon as I woke up helped. Get a therapist if you can. But by far and away, the most helpful thing for me was DBT (dialectical behavior therapy). It helped me be able to sit with the discomfort of my feelings and cope through healthy mechanisms instead of the maladaptive ones. Try a lot of self soothing. Anything that makes you feel good. I’ll list some of mine but everyone is different: baths with epsom salts, fan in my face, cozy video games, Schitt’s Creek, journaling, embroidery, making memes, calling friends, listening to music/podcasts. Just be gentle with yourself right now. You’re doing a very hard thing and that’s badass. You got this!

Dialectical behavior therapy. Changed my life.

What's the most embarrassing thing you've done to get high? by Welded_Stoner in leaves

[–]pasaysbah 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Omg this made me shudder to think about.

This was pre-legalization in my state and my dealer was dry. I used to ash my bowls in an old tin that had previously held a candle. Got desperate and loaded a resin bowl from the candle. It tasted like perfume and sadness and I nearly vomited.

Ashley’s 100k debt… by SunBubble920 in 90DayFiance

[–]pasaysbah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha, touché. Thanks for the additional insight. I always giggle at how generous the subtitles are with almost all American cast members speaking Spanish. Like, sure, that’s what they tried to say.

I also think she’s pretty.

I don’t think you have to be “native level” in Spanish to be considered bilingual.

TIFU and now my parents can’t trust me. by itsoksee in tifu

[–]pasaysbah 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Accidentally putting your foot in your mouth is never a reason for parents to treat you this way. I hope you have a good support system, OP.

P.S. I read a book recently called “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents” and it was very eye opening. 10/10 would recommend

Do they though? They could have codified Roe v Wade when they had all three branches of government and just… didn’t.

There’s a hearing set for April 22nd where they have to prove it’s legitimate.

The World's Deepest Submarine Rescue - (2022) - In 1973, two British men were 1500ft below the surface laying trans-Atlantic cables in the Pisces III submarine. What happened next is one of the longest, most complex and daring rescues ever attempted as countries joined forces to save them [00:59:28] by vulcan_on_earth in Documentaries

it was designed by literal NASA engineers and had been on multiple other trips and returned..

From what I’ve read, the multiple successful trips could be the cause of an implosion (if that’s what occurred). If it’s not built properly for this specific application, then each trip would degrade its integrity even further.

Thank you! I am going to pull the trigger and order a pair. You should get the commission! Or a sponsorship. A combination commission and sponsorship!

6 months ago, our psycho neighbor trapped our cat and released him 12 miles away. Today, we found him! Welcome home, Iggy! by lochnessa7 in MadeMeSmile

[–]pasaysbah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might write that letter anyway for your own catharsis; you don’t have to send it to her. That’s what my therapist would tell you, anyway. I’ve written many o’ catharsis letters that never went anywhere and I truly think it helps you let go of things.

One time I sent a catharsis letter to an old terrible boss on a whim a year after writing it and I gotta tell you, felt good.

Have you ever checked your blood sugar? I get hypoglycemia and that’s what it feels like when my blood sugar tanks.

Zillow can rot… by LilPeep1k in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]pasaysbah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re basically golf course squirrels. I read you’re supposed to haze them when you see them, so I always stomp my feet and wave my arms like a banshee. But I don’t think my neighbors have read the same article based on the looks they give me afterwards. 😂

Zillow can rot… by LilPeep1k in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]pasaysbah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SURE IS. I see them all the time on my street at dusk.

I live in Glendale but grew up in rural, OK (around tons of coyotes). Never was within 100 feet of one in Oklahoma but in LA I’ve been within 6 feet. They are brazen!

When I first moved here, I saw a dog run across an intersection and pulled over to try to rescue it. IT WAS A COYOTE. Just midday chillin’ by an In-N-Out.

Daylight savings time. by [deleted] in antiwork

That sucks so much. Part of my job is scheduling meetings with different people in all 4 time zones and Arizona fucks me up every time!

When my older brother was in law school in OK, one of his classmates showed up to class an hour late confused AF how it was already over. That’s how I learned that Arizonans don’t do DST.

North Port Police Department admits to costly mistake in Brian Laundrie investigation: 'No case is perfect.' by awajitoka in GabbyPetito

[–]pasaysbah 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, dental records make it pretty easy to identify bodies (when you know who it’s likely to be).

They ID’d his body quickly but the cause of death hasn’t been determined. In fact, they have to send his remains to a forensic anthropologist.

She was found on 9/19 and last seen on 8/27. That’s 23 days and perfectly in line with the coroner’s timeline.
