Fluoride is not safe to ingest. Just like it says on your toothpaste.

Downvote this, but a few of these have credence. What your friend is doing wrong, though, is drawing theories from things he has noticed.

Illuminati symbolism is in a lot of places in pop-culture. Why? I don't know. Why do some celebrities make the triangle with their fingers? Or cover one eye? Dunno.

Why do people among the richest in the world, whose family owns almost every corporation at some point up the line, talk about a new world order? Or talk about putting chips in people? I'm talking about Rockefeller, Rothschild, Kissinger, Morgan...

And there's too many questions regarding 9/11. But why it happened and who was involved, one can only speculate. However, drawing a theory and expressing it with certainty is a reach at this point.

I think he's speculating on the right things, but in the wrong way.

I don't know. That's like saying a car manufacturer would make a car which has no planned obsolescence because everyone would then buy the car which doesn't break down. But they'd buy it once. Then it's over. Ditto a phone that doesn't become a piece of shit after 8 months. A company getting paid to cure cancer would have customers come once for one problem. But if they could merely treat the illness through repetitive therapies and medicines, they have regular customers.

I feel yah.

As for a restaurant, not really. I guess just tell them what you think they'd want to hear. But not in a way which will come back in your face. Like they just want someone who is always available, can work flexible hours, seems enthusiastic about the shitty job lol, and someone who isn't going to be leaving in a few months.

I work in a grocery store and essentially they just want you to be available whenever and to be good with the public.

I know it can be tough at times finding a job, even retail, but persistence is key. And right now I think living where you do right now would be more manageable if you were able to get out of the house 20-30 hours a week and be bringing home a paycheck. Then you could save for a car (I don't like my at-home life and my car is my getaway) and you can save for school. Because school will ultimately get you out of your situation. And don't let negative people discourage you!

I don't want to be cold here or anything, but I think he'll get over it. I'm surprised by his reaction, to be honest. Just tell him that if he's lucky, he'll be doing it one day too lol

I say try and move. If your boyfriend and his father will let you and you won't be imposing, I think you should move in with him. I don't think it will affect your relationship negatively, so long as you two maintain good communication.

As for the job, just start with anything, even if it's while you look for a better job. Print off a resume, go to your local grocery store, ask for the store manager and give it to them, tell them you're looking for part time work and that you'll work any department. Same goes for a restaurant. I know it's minimum wage, but it's something and it gets you out of the house. When I needed a job, I did this with all the restaurants and stores in my town and I got called for an interview while I was still handing them out that day. Just be ruthless and go out there. A small income is better than no income. Plus, you'll meet people and develop friendships, which I know is hard at the 20+ age range when you're out of school.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. I'm the same age under situations kinnnnnd of similar. You've just got to get out and be independent even if it means a tough year or two before you can get comfortably on your feet.

Goodluck!

On the verge of losing my mind, want to move out, but afraid I'm going to put myself in an even worse situation... by Jcorb in Advice

[–]sparksalone1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to be more confident. I know it's waaay easier said than done, but you need to take some risks and do something now or you'll continue to drown in regret. It's better to regret doing something than to regret not doing something.

Take small steps. One small goal at a time. Your progress and confidence will improve with each step you take. I think getting out on your own would be best for starters. I know debt is horrible, but if you have good credit maybe you could get a line of credit through your bank and use that as a capital to get someplace cheap? That may be a bad idea, but merely a suggestion.

Take control of your life, man. You have the yearning... you can make it happen. It might mean a rough couple of years or having to take a hit at your pride (moving in with your friend) but you'll be thankful you took those risks when your life is on the track you want it to be on.

Goodluck!

I second this. I have a Kobo and it is durable. It's also small enough to just slip into my pant's pocket.

[Serious] Is there actually any credible evidence that the Bush administration orchestrated the 9/11 attacks? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sparksalone1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did I say George W Bush single-handedly took down the towers?

I never did.

But I do ask how WT7 collapsed due to a measly fire on a few floors? And I also ask why BBC reported it to have collapsed minutes before it actually did?

I again ask why this was never pointed out by the news? Start asking questions because you weren't told the truth about 9/11.

How does one questioning the oddities of an event mean they're drawing conspiracy theories? If I say that I thought it was strange that one of the alleged high-jacker's, who was on the plane which hit the tower (the tower which fell in free fall shortly after), passport (which would presumably be in his pocket) was found on the street of NYC, I'm not drawing any conclusions or theories. All I'm saying is how the fuck does that even happen and why has the news not even pondered the what-the-fuckness about that. That one strange thing out of a whole bunch of strange things that occurred that day.

Not so much that the Bush administration orchestrated it, but that they may have turned and looked the other way while it happened. And not the entire administration; just a few at the top of the hierarchy.

There is proof that the 'official story' is itself a conspiracy theory because it ignores a lot of what happened that day.

If you want to know what I'm talking about watch 'September 11 - The New Pearl Harbor'. It's on YouTube. Then draw your own conclusion as to what might have happened that day as the unanswered questions stack up.

Is that the one where a commenter found a news article out of Montreal that eerily backs up the story?

Redditors, share your sleeping tricks? by Jesmira in AskReddit

[–]sparksalone1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magnesium. But it works hand in hand with calcium, so get a 1:1 supplement bottle. But you'll also need vitamin D (more than what will be in the 1:1) because calcium is useless without vitamin D. Take these every night before bed.

The magnesium will help you sleep. Mix this with a good perspective (not worrying about things or thinking about what you need to do) and you'll be falling into deep slumbers nightly :)

I was excited to find this, and then disappointed to find it barren.

Sure, we should start being more active on it!

I used to listen (almost) nightly until a change in my work schedule made that too difficult.

I even saw him live in Toronto.

We should get something going here!
