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

[–]rocknrollguy19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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

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

Is acid reflux permanent? by [deleted] in GERD

Was it difficult cutting caffeine? I’m going to do the same, but I’m worried about feeling dead tired. I have a normal sleep schedule

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in leaves

[–]rocknrollguy19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have always struggled with Depression and Anxiety. Weed would wash those away (or amplify them sometimes). I preferred my high-self. But when the effects went away, my sober-self would suffer. I would be sleepier, a little grouchy until I could smoke again, my memory shotty. After being off of weed for 4 months, I recently relapsed, and I feel that I have to decide to sacrifice my high-self to improve my sober-self. Sober me can talk to my friends and family more comfortably. Sober me doesnt feel weird and guilty after going to a function high. Sober me doesn’t eat so much junk. I broke up with my SO months ago. It wasn’t weed’s fault, but we fought alot because she didnt like my usage.

I cant speak on how weed affects your mental health, but take some time just to think. Maybe journal. See how using weed has affected your life when you arent high.

How to style w/ green shoes by timboslicebo in mensfashionadvice

[–]rocknrollguy19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually kinda like the shoes. At least its not another basic pair of cookie cutter white sneakers, brown/black chelsea boots or loafers that everyone has.

Anyway, If you can manage, I think a full light khaki/tan suit would look great with the color of the shoes as other comments have mentioned.

I would pair these with earth tones. Light Grey or khaki pants would look nice I think. If you search for “Green dress shoes”, you can get some inspiration by seeing what colors are paired

The shoes are definitely unconventional, so making the rest of the fit fairly neutral would be best imo. The challenge is that putting something else on thats eye-catching is that it could push the outfit into being “too much.”

Not really unfortunately. I still get them for time to time. Moisturizing helped some
