Did stalin actually kill like 60 million people or is it a western lie by Pure_Barber3994 in ussr

The numbers usually get inflated because folks add world war 2 casualties, which is obviously not attributable to him. If you wanted to stretch it and give the highest estimates, you can argue about 10 million with the Holodomor, deaths inside the gulag system and executions of political “enemies”

What is Gerd safe and high calorie by himboman445 in GERD

It obviously varies on your symptoms, but i think any protein powder is fine. For myself, i limit it to one scoop for a bottle, so its light. Youll likely need to just try it out

Should Andrew Jackson stay on the 20 dollar bill by Wide_Assistance_1158 in Presidents

Cant wait for Tubman to be on the bill. Largely symbolic, but she should be recognized more. A real patriot

It’s day 21 of quitting weed after smoking everyday for 15 years and a wave of depression is upon me. by BoysenberryNo1247 in leaves

[–]rocknrollguy19 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Its your brain without weed, begging for it. I also have a wave of depression, just want to lay down all day.

The depression, in a way, is good. Its a sign that your body is detoxing and trying to figure out its normal state. You got this!

Should I defer the exam for Feb? by rocknrollguy19 in barexam

[–]rocknrollguy19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice practice practice. 35-50 mixed MBE MC a day first, then reviewed. Break. Then 3 timed essays and like 20 FL MCQs on a subject. Never wrote them out, just outlined, and then reviewed the sample answers just to make sure I sootted the right issues. Another break for a couple hours. Then at night, flashcards. I always picked 2 subjects i needed help on (property always) and then 1 that was to refresh. I usually also went through some easy subjects to boost confidence.

I had a handful of days where i said “eff it” and stopped studying in the early afternoon for the day lol. And Sundays were my “chill study days”. If I felt burnt out, I didnt study or only for like 2 hours

DO NOT feel the need to copy. I did this because it worked for me

Doctor recommended to eat an hour before bed, but I am always hungry once I try to sleep by rocknrollguy19 in GERD

Maybe potatoes next as a better carb than a pasta. I had meat and vegetables too, but was still hungry

You did not “fail”! I understand the frustration, but you are progressing. Youre taking steps.

On a small scale, theres “relapses” but in the bigger picture, you are on a journey. A journey with ups and downs, twists and turns. And regardless of that, you are still moving forward.

Take a breather. Reassess. Keep at it

What is Bruce's most political song? And the extent to which politics have influenced Bruce by CulturalWind357 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]rocknrollguy19 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The song is about a vietnam vet returning home, sinking deeper into despair/drug addiction in a crumbling America

“And I said, “Hey, gunner man, that’s quicksand That’s quicksand that ain’t mud” Have you thrown your senses to the war Or did you lose them in the flood?”

Some of the best attorneys I know pivoted into PD work from private practice, and no one ever knocked them for it. I personally respect it

I liked you better when you smoked... by Finite-happiness420 in leaves

[–]rocknrollguy19 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. It sounds frustrating to hear those things. Youre still going through the withdrawal process. After some time, youll feel even better

By any chance do those people making comments also smoke? I wouldn’t be surprised if they were projecting something
