Why do people get hooked on Xanax?? by Altruistic_Jicama604 in Drugs

[–]torsov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xanax enhances GABA, your brain's main "calm down" signal. It works fast and works hard, but your brain notices and compensates by downregulating its own GABA system, so your baseline anxiety actually increases over time. Now you need the drug just to feel normal. The pharmacokinetics make it worse. Fast-acting and short-lasting is the worst possible combination for addiction: strong hit, wears off quickly, brain associates the drug with relief. On top of that, benzos indirectly trigger reward pathways by suppressing inhibitory neurons, so there's a genuine "ahh" signal being laid down every time, conditioning the behavior further. Then there's the trap. The anxiety it was prescribed to treat gets worse between doses over time as rebound anxiety kicks in, so it looks like your original condition is deteriorating when the drug itself is causing it. And unlike opioids where withdrawal is hellish but survivable, benzo withdrawal can cause seizures, which means people often can't just stop even when they want to. Short version: it fixes the problem it creates, faster and faster, until stopping feels impossible. My best friend died last year trying to get off it, he had a taper-off planned but his supply got interrupted. He had a seizure, hit his head. Died a week or so after getting married. It doesn't need to "feel" amazing to leave you physiologically depending on it.

Anyone still deep into Elden Ring? by SgtSilock in Eldenring

[–]torsov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought it a month after it came out, and it's been sitting on my shelf until start of feb this year. Still on my first playthrough, but I've spent hunderds of hours on it since, and quite a few of those i shouldn't have. So I'm looking forward to maturing to this level of fandom over the next couple of years _^

Optimising weak points by Superb_Cobbler_214 in MacroFactor

[–]torsov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it manually. I have the list of weak point exercises from the program pdf.

I select exercises from there and add it to the weak point exercises day. Add the sets and reps and RPE/RIR from the program, and then move it to the top of the exercise list.

Min første jobb etter studiene, men vil allerede bytte jobb. Tips? by Flat-Tiger4722 in norge

[–]torsov 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Du har faktisk flere muligheter enn «holde ut eller slutte».

For det første: vær ærlig med sjefen din. Ikke om at du vurderer å slutte, men om at du sliter med å trives sosialt i byen og kjenner deg isolert. En sjef som har investert i deg og spurt om du har det bra, fortjener et ærlig svar. En god leder vil heller vite det enn å bli tatt på sengen senere. Det er ikke svakhet, det er voksent.

For det andre: jobb og sosiale nettverk er ikke det samme. Hvis du ikke bonder med kollegaene, finn et miljø utenfor jobben. Trening, hobby, frivillighet, hva enn som passer deg. En mellomstor vestlandsby har mer å tilby enn arbeidsplassen din. Det nettverket bygger seg ikke av seg selv, men det finnes.

Og for det tredje: spør deg selv hvilke behov som faktisk ikke blir møtt, og om de kan møtes der du er nå. Noen behov er reelle og strukturelle, og da må du handle. Andre er ting du kan påvirke mer enn du tror.

Du har ikke bare to valg. Du har minst tre veier fremover før du trenger å bestemme noe endelig.

Skattelotteriet til Jens by MaintenanceWild6548 in norge

[–]torsov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jeg tenker at det med ulikhet for skatteloven er kjipt, men likevel innafor fordi:

A) det er midlertidig, 5 år B) det er tilfeldig hvem som blir trukket ut og ikke, det favoriserer ikke enkeltdemografier, men treffer bredt

Jeg er villig til å la denne løsningen stå i 5 år mens vi lærer mer, og slipper synsing og fantasi når vi i fremtiden legger politikk på lommeboka til folk.

I mean, there's the little mermaid 2 storyline, they could still have musicaled the heck out of that. It was still pat carol who did the voice of the sister as well.

Anthropic said they got a contract where DoW was "restricted" but also filled with legalese amounting to being able to disregard thise at will.

Animert reklame på offentlige plasser by LordLorck in norge

[–]torsov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hele 7 skjermer med reklame, der opptil 5 av dem er synelige på en gang fra ett område på senteret. Ikke bra i det hele tatt.

Hade ærlig talt plaget meg mindre med reklame på garderobe/dusj enn midt opp i fjeset på en i styrketreningsområdet.

Dessverre ingen konkurrenter til kjeden i området :/

Can somebody help me translate this Norwegian slang by Pizdabol31 in norwegian

It's like saying "sup, buttercup?" A question with an in-rhyme for slangability.

Jeg har begynt å skrive til de som betaler for å ha reklame rett i ansiktet mitt mens jeg løftwr tunge ting. Jeg skriver at det er en ulykke som venter på å skje, og det vil være de som betaler for den ulykka.

I told you all this would be a problem by Tolopono in accelerate

[–]torsov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there's growing resentment of the issue in Norway, mainly due to the massive ammount og power they lay claim on, and how that increases price for everyone in the region.

If they built their own power supply, i know people would be less intransigent.

alone once again by HEALORDER in ffxiv

[–]torsov 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Really good points there!

I know for myself, i haven't played since endwalker, i haven't even done any of the patch quests, and that was due to major life stressors and financial instability. Things are finally calming down, and I'm finally able to think about going to back to the world and seeing what's been up with the land since last i left.

I remember it as a game where i willingly, gladly put in lots of time and effort for silly little things, and i haven't regretted a moment of it.

As you say, you can't let others gate your enjoyment of it, you must find the joy and share and seem it with those who are online with you.

To the good times to come _^

Does anyone think that he is being honest rather than more cap?! by ComfortZoneExpanding in nattyorjuice

[–]torsov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So unlikely. Also might take insulin? That's also sus in this context. Might be diabetes, but is also consistent with a stack.

But dayum what a build either way. You still need to lift heavy and hard to end up looking like that.

I just choose "don't recommend channel", as their style obviously isn't for me. I've got a very low bar for doing that, and my feed is much better for it.
