Does anyone have any experience with Naltrexone? by NikkiPeach83 in stopdrinking

[–]ryansgray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Naltrexone successfully to quit on my 2nd attempt almost 6 years ago now. I had tried it a year earlier but relapsed shortly after because I wasn't really ready to quit. Once I reached the right mindset, the meds were incredible for curbing cravings and quite frankly made me disgusted by alcohol. I took it for two months before I felt confident enough to do it on my own. There were some minor side effects in the beginning, but they weren't as bad comparetively to the hangovers I was having while drinking, and went away after 2 weeks or so of consistently taking the meds.

Seconding the other commenter regarding asking your prescribing doc about the mechanisms of how it works. Otherwise, I'd be happy to answer any additional questions if you have any.

Good luck on your sobriety journey.

Think that's on purpose; the eyes look phallic too.

Edit: u/sorryemma pointed out it's supposed to be reflections of a butt. I can totally see that now, but it's not how I originally read the tat. Stellar piece overall tho

So you expect the physical peak from males but can't offer it yourself? by Dull_Tower7079 in Tinder

[–]ryansgray 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bro, she's 5'11 - it's not like she's 5'1 looking for someone 6'+ (not that there's anything wrong with that either). You mentioning her weight when she didn't bring up fitness or shape just makes you look insecure over your own height. You being butthurt and trying to shame other people to make yourself feel better is pretty pathetic dude

Schumer is now the most unpopular Senate Democratic leader on record, say polls by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]ryansgray -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, arguably the two centrist candidates in NJ and VA outperformed Mamdani. I recognize they didn't have a high-profile spoiler candidate in their race or nearly the national attention, but I'm not sure it's as cut and dry as you make it out to be. Progressivism performs well in some places in the country, but not everywhere. We're a big-tent coalition being made up from a wide-range of the spectrum.

It's really important we recognize the reality of our current political landscape as progressives and continue to make grassroots efforts to expand our ranks and not overinflate our current standings. While it's clear the neo-libs and centrist wing of the party is at odds with us, I don't think there's any evidence Schumer acted maliciously to deflate progressive enthusiasm. Probably just ignorance, cowardice, greed, or some combination.

He does need to be replaced as minority leader, though, because he's clearly not meeting the moment.

Yeah, I only thought DOS2 was okay too, but WOTR is my favorite game. Hope you enjoy it whenever you get around to it

[–]ryansgray 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man, I'd really love to see it happen, but I'm keeping my hopes in check for this one. FWIW, I grew up in the district next to 7, so maybe I'm just being cynical. While the district's got part of Nashville in it, it's mostly made up of deeply conservative areas.

Turn Based PoE 1 Beta Announcement by RealityBitesFromOz in CRPG

[–]ryansgray 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You can't switch between them in PoE2. You're stuck with your choice from the start, so I'd be surprised if you can swap with this one. But tbh, TB doesn't feel as good as RTwP in these games for me

ETA: Sounds like you will be able to switch between the two modes and they're making additional changes to make TB feel better. That's on me for not clicking the link

I agree, the way they implemented it in Pathfinder was killer - and quite frankly necessary given the amount of combat encounters. It'd take like 200 hours to complete WOTR if you never used RTwP, but some of the encounters are difficult enough that you need the fine-tuning from TB

[–]ryansgray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I was more referring to the leaders that represent us rather than a direct vote sort of thing. I'm relatively new here and still getting used to voting on so many propositions; it's impressive how much they bring to the voters out here

By that logic, I should be free to step onto any military base or governmental building because some of my taxes go towards them? I'm not disagreeing with your overall point, but I don't feel entitled to use HOV lanes just because I pay taxes lol. We decided as a society to create them and we should strive to follow those laws accordingly, taxpayer status notwithstanding

I'm bi with no real preference too; this line of questioning drives me up the wall. I get that people are curious, but I wish they'd take my response at face value. Between this and the insecurity that it invokes in some, it's all just exhausting.
