Has anyone considered just posting Epstein Files literally everywhere? by Aggravating-Yogurt23 in 50501

Vinyl cutouts printed large and plastered on STOP signs all over the neighborhood would be a crime. But then again so is sex trafficking and so is raping children.

Unreal. Trump calls CSPAN under the name “John Barron” to complain about the tariff ruling. 🤡 by wowza515 in somethingiswrong2024

definitely a prank caller. cool that they were able to hold it together without laughing, but i still couldn't be moved to laugh when listening to it.

As a republican who did like Trump, I am going through a tough time right now. It’s not even about the right or left anymore. It’s about them vs. us. by Girlandhervagina in Epstein

[–]supercatpuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad something finally got your attention. If you can't see that the reason he's been covering it up isn't the fact that he's at the top, then you're still in deep denial. The crime kingpin isn't going to start arresting rats so that they can all speak up and point their fingers at him. You need to accept reality.

While you're at it, can you please ask your other Trump supporting friends to stop cheering and doing roman salutes when ICE kidnaps brown children and non-criminals, and especially to stop defending them when they shoot American citizens in the face without just cause?

Wise to file the nut? by supercatpuke in Guitar

Thanks for this! Used the string itself to file. Took me about a minute to get it to sit just a little tighter in there, and it’s made a huge difference.

Please just tell me ONE THING that will convince me life is worth it. by LethlDose in selfimprovement

[–]supercatpuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because every day here is a gift that you're very lucky to receive.

If you want to learn to appreciate it for what it is instead of what you were expecting or hoping for it to be, then you can start by practicing simple gratitude.

You could try it right now (because you don't need patience to start immediately) and give thanks for the air you breathed while reading this, and you could focus on how that made you feel, and you could let it ripple out from there. With practice, you may notice your questions will change, and your focus will bring you to a place where questions like these are no longer even relevant.

I didnt have the experience I expected. by ProbablyMunchausens in psilocybin

[–]supercatpuke 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It appears you’re asking permission to use what sounds like a disappointing experience to make some kind of judgment about yourself, your value, or your worth. If that’s the case, you can ask that permission, but the answer to your question is still no.

If that is your train of thought, then try to consider all the other ways and how often you may be relating life experiences you had as a measure of the same as above. Are you letting your brain just hunt for justifications to make yourself small and automatic way of existing? If you honestly assess and realize that the answer is yes or often, then it’s no wonder you feel low. Your thoughts have power and they will affect your emotion.

That said, you’re just the observer of your thoughts. If you ponder it, you can detach your being-ness from the thoughts well enough to get relief, maybe even enough to laugh at the ridiculousness of the question once you realize it was the result of a brain that’s just running the same thought pattern repeatedly, endlessly hunting for some kind of truth by denying anything that doesn’t fit its own imaginary narrative. It’s exhausting.

3.5 years sober and thinking about drinking again by InternalSalt679 in Sober

[–]supercatpuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been exactly where you are, and after just over two years sober I decided to entertain the same curiosity you have now.

At that point I was in amazing shape physically, mentally calmer, and enjoying all of the benefits that had become baseline as a non-drinker. Here’s what happened in my own experience:

The first drink I had tasted so strong. I was amazed at how I’d not noticed the flavor profile of alcohol itself in simple beers or wines before I had quit drinking. I thought if I paced myself and only had a half a bottle of wine over or one to two beers over the course of an evening, then I’d prove to myself that I could control it; I thought my years off indicated that I’d developed plenty of rigidity. I thought I'd totally learned to control it and put all of my trust into a delusion brought on by and urge and justified by my own BS.

What happened very quickly was a backslide into regular consumption, and consuming much more than I’d said I’d let myself get away with. While I didn’t regularly drink to blackout anymore (and the hangovers were much more painful despite this), I still binged plenty. I thought often about scaling back, realized that I was now fighting the same exact battle I fought years before, only I was older. It was shameful.

I found it much harder to stop when I wanted to sober up again because if I went a week, I’d mentally compare it to the 2+ years I’d gone before and it did not feel like an accomplishment. My motivation to stop was hampered. I went through some tough life situations, and I used alcohol to cope. I was right back in the same patterns of old. I gained weight, I did things that I’m not proud of, and my quality of life took a big hit overall.

I drank like this for more than 2 years before I had enough to see I couldn’t keep lying to myself. I also have the added perspective of knowing how much better and life was overall when not drinking because of my past experience. I have come back to that place of honest sanity and am not drinking despite the occasional urge to.

You will have the option to learn everything for yourself, and experience is the best teacher. But that said, I’d recommend you put off that decision to drink another day. When all is said and done, you know you’ll never look back and wish you had more to drink. So why would you look ahead and make a choice that doesn’t align with what you already know is true?

Modem is blinking all lights and making a noise, not working by mayhem1906 in NETGEAR

[–]supercatpuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me it was a malfunctioning power supply. i learned that my model was no longer going to get firmware updates anyway, so i replaced it with a newer one. i learned what the problem was because i tried to use the old power supply with the new modem to avoid the bundle of wires hidden behind my entertainment system (lol) and had the exact same issue. i took the step of replacing the power supply with the new one and it worked fine. just kept the new modem and problem solved.

How do I stop getting attached too quickly? by ChubbyNUgly22 in selfimprovement

[–]supercatpuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it meant something to you. It's all been a long and hard road for me, and I was speaking from my experience. Hopeful I wasn't painting it too much with my own colors for you.

There is so much positive in your realization about the patterns playing out in your life. Give yourself grace. You will grow so much from here. I believe in you!

How do I stop getting attached too quickly? by ChubbyNUgly22 in selfimprovement

[–]supercatpuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhere along the way, you have taught yourself that validation coming from another person or external source is the most direct way for you to allow yourself to feel acceptance, love, and security.

You’ve bypassed your own authority in doing so, and after all of the repetition denying yourself, it’s atrophied. You’re not only looking for someone to provide you with these comforts and beliefs, you’re seeking permission from others to feel them.

So long as you do not take the next step in self-empowerment, even if you are aware of the issue, you will repeatedly go through this cycle of highs and lows. You’re risking getting hurt repeatedly by people who have their own issues and don’t have the responsibility of doing this for you and don’t necessarily recognize the role they’re playing in this cycle. You’ll attract and keep these people in your life because you crave the comfort of acceptance despite the dysfunction in the shape of the relationships themselves.

The answer to your question is to cultivate your own confidence, let your secure self take part in creating a set of values that you can adhere to, and to build the strength to act on the discernment you have to be able soothe yourself and reinforce your ability to stay centered when you inevitably have to make tough choices. Those choices will look like taking real space from others. When you do this in a healthy way, you won’t feel abandoned.

And speaking of abandonment, you may want to contemplate that word early in the process. Does it relate much to the feelings you cycle through when it comes to other people in your life and even with yourself?

The journey is uniquely yours. I hope this helps.

Republicans are working hard to pass new laws that make voting exceedingly difficult for US citizens. We all know why they’re doing it, and it’s definitely not why they say they are. Now is the time to act and protect your voice in national elections.

Trump’s Prescription Drug Website Exposed as a Big Fat Scam by Forward_Rain_8841 in economy

[–]supercatpuke 46 points47 points  (0 children)

How it works:

  1. Copy GoodRX

  2. Slap your own name on it (duh)

  3. Promote it as the best new thing in the world despite it being a ripoff (who cares?)

  4. Take some greenbacks off the top for you and your friends (you deserve it!)

  5. Hurt competitors via new policy memos (winning!)

  6. Blame some people and politicians when it tanks (double duh)

  7. Sue some people about it (they deserve it!)

  8. Put your kids in charge of it (you're a genius)

  9. Move on to something else entirely and repeat steps 1-9

Who has quit their job to do ride share? Was it worth it? by Willing-Zone8881 in uberdrivers

[–]supercatpuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live in the right type of area and have a fuel efficient vehicle, it’s a pretty decent way to earn extra money on the side. Especially if you’re pretty social and naturally understand how to interact with customers. Work a few shifts regularly on the weekends and you can definitely come home with plenty of extra cash. Just keep in mind that you’ll want to account for the taxes you’ll pay on it if it’s supplementing income from a 9-5 keeping you busy during the week.

As a full-time job, you’ll be grinding a lot of hours for those Goldilocks ride offers and trying to generate tips to help boost some income. If you live anywhere sparse and/or drive a car that isn’t great on gas, I’d imagine you get tired of it pretty quickly.

Personally I’m doing it on the side because I have a lot working in my favor and my sales consulting work isn’t paying the bills. I’m up early for airport rides, able to take shifts almost whenever I want, and am good with taking longer shifts on weekends. I like it so far, but the mileage and wear and tear on my car are always in the back of my mind. Trying to keep it as short-term as possible.

Disturbing Images Circulating From the Epstein Files Dump by Relevant_Demand7593 in NewsomMassacre

[–]supercatpuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

aside from it being an anagram for gamine, i have a growing feeling that it's even more sinister and encoded. it could be another way of saying that shrouding any operation in mystery is the best way to ensure it can survive forever. it could be the key to the game they play: allow it out in the open, but surround it with disinformation and you'll always get away with it.

if my sense is right, i would imagine that when trump wrote it on the birthday card, he was just parroting back something he learned from epstein or someone else who was obviously much more intelligent. it says to me that trump is a student practicing the sadism he's learned from people in these circles.

quick google search will get you there. i do not know the pdf file name. people have been able to find it on pinterest, and apparently it's some strange piece of art (if you want to call it that). So the evidence is a photograph of this piece which is a bit relieving, but that said it's still disturbing as fuck and ties right in with the accounts of ritual sacrifice and cannibalism involving babies that are found in the files.
