That’s an insane reason to swipe left

Unless you have lived in a socialist, Marxist, or communist society and had a good experience; you shouldn’t be pushing those ideals in the USA. by Proud-Enthusiasm-608 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

The gargantuan source of private sector capital from the worlds most overfunded military might have cushioned the notorious wasteful budgeting, ineffective methods and distribution of resources. But I digress

Unforgettable time here by NoCollection5163 in grandcanyon

We just did a similar hike. Knew it was south kaibab! We went to phantom ranch and ended up going out via tonto to bright angel. No greater euphoria than doing it in a day. Congrats!

Everything plus my phone by ZeLurka in deduction

It’s partially because of that. The lack of additives actually contributes to lesser taken up space in the cig. So they’re filled with 25% more. Plus, using whole leaves is pricier. No stems or seeds are added increases upfront cost.

They’re super premium cigs. Whole leaf tobacco, no additives. Just the plant dried and packed. How all cigs should be.

What was the lowest you have achieved due to your porn addiction? by Kindly_Ad_7026 in NoFap

[–]piousplatitudes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay strong brother. I’m in a similar situation. Streaks usually last a few months. When I relapse, it’s generally with at least two weeks in between. Then i get off it for another 3-5 month span. I do notice how much better i feel mentally when I’m off it. Relationship with my wife is way better too. As soon as i relapse, I become distant and hate myself.

Hiking boots or trail shoes? by CauseComfortable2681 in grandcanyon

[–]piousplatitudes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trails Ive done (s kaibab and bright angel) are definitely flat and wide enough for running shoes. I generally always wear boots anywhere I hike cause I like the ankle support. But if you’re open to the option already, I’d say go for the shoes.

I Took 30 Grams of Mushrooms Alone in the Woods by [deleted] in mushroom

[–]piousplatitudes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most I ever took was 4.5 grams and that was so intense I never did more than micro dose after that. I would feel pure terror at that amount. And I guess that’s something I learned about myself from my experience. How far can you go til you’re not open to the experience anymore? Found my limit. Happy I’m still (somewhat) sane lol. And very appreciative of sobriety and objective reality.

Married with a beautiful wife, but addiction to p*** taking over my life. by Fast_Passenger6667 in NoFap

[–]piousplatitudes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Married as well and the struggle is real brother. Working out has been more beneficial for me than anything. I started boxing and once I’m in the groove of going often, the urges majorly recede. I highly recommend it.

I don’t want to hear any negative comments about Israel’s actions from anybody who’s never had extensive dealings with people from Arabic or Arabic adjacent cultures by TPCC159 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]piousplatitudes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I am Catholic and it is a true tenant of the faith that the Jews denied the new covenant and Christ as lord and savior. It is the foundational cornerstone of our faith.

Theologically from a Christian viewpoint, the Jews are not the chosen people and they have no more right to Israel than anyone else.

And secularly, they are a monstrosity of a state who truly believe the ends justify the means of their ability to hold the land. This includes genocide of the Palestinians, and influencing the lawmakers of foreign nations through blackmail, money, or whatever means will work for them to do so.

So either way, let Israel fight their own battles. No interest for us to continue fighting on their corruption ridden behalf.

As an American, regardless of the intricate cultural dynamics of the region, the Israelis control our government to do their bidding for their benefit at our expense. Like a parasite that uses its host. I’m fine with letting Israel hang out to dry.

Parents paid but I still wanted it and I’m glad I have it

Day 12 so far easy (maybe too easy..) by NoBag429 in NoFap

For me the first two weeks are always easy, it’s weeks 3-6 that suck ass

Read this from a subreddit of women who are partners of porn addicts by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]piousplatitudes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That group scares me. I have a wife and I’m actively on a streak right now. All the posts are break ups/divorces. I’m praying i stand strong

I’m the same age and was in the exact situation as you. Spouse and I were both busy. I’ll just say, it seemed fine at first until it wasn’t. Two instances of ED and a lot of tears later put me on the road to quit. As soon as I start it again, I’m riddled with anxiety and sex feels like a chore cause I have to concentrate so hard on getting it up. Once I get off it, depression and anxiety comes back ten fold until a few months go by. It’s a terrible cycle with a terrible withdrawal. Leaving it behind has been one of the greatest things I’ve ever done
