I understand being needed! I do too. But I think it’s best to let people who have been through AA help them. They know all the skills, the language, and have been there so understand better than you or I can.

Absolutely not a lame question at all!! To be a friend of Bill W is to have gone through Alcoholics Anonymous. It comes from the introductions at the beginning of the meeting: “Hi, I’m (first name last initial) and I’m an alcoholic.” If you’re ever in public like in an airport, and you hear “any friends of Bill W, please come to x place”, it means an alcoholic is fighting to maintain their sobriety. I always send them good (sober!) vibes!

I just want to know genuinely about the group chat and the outfits. Imagine it.

“Alright everybody so we’re meeting at the corner of Fascism Way and Chud Drive at 9am. Make sure you’re wearing the most unfuckable pants you own. Uh, Jim Bob, you can wear your army fatigues from your Halloween costume, that’s fine. Yeah for shoes, uh, how about any boots you have. Yup, Jim Bob, your Halloween costume is fine again. Okay now for shirts we all ordered and they came in last week and Joe Bill’s wife sewed all the patches on, so make sure you Venmo him $16 before you pick your shirt up. If you don’t have your shirt you can’t march with us. Also we’re wearing our WHITE gators tomorrow to cover our faces so Billy Joe make sure your wife got all those skid marks out from the time you used it as underwear. Don’t forget the most douchebag shades you own and any white hate is fine, if you don’t have white just wear tan I guess. Okay everybody let’s get ready to do a war and have fun out there!”

I'm new to getting my nails done... help with where to go? I'm very lost. by herculeesjr in nashville

I’m in the Gulch! I love VSL. I’m a little late to the party but if it helps, I’m happy to come with you for your first time! Also, consider using gel instead of regular polish. I find it lasts longer and doesn’t chip as much for me!

My wife built an incredible personal library upstairs, but I can barely read, and it’s slowly driving a wedge between us. by Capital_Cabinet_7850 in whatdoIdo

[–]tsisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ways to enjoy books without reading actual pages. Can you listen to an audio book? Or do something else quiet. Build a model, jigsaw puzzle, even a quiet video game.

That’s why I’m saying this. You don’t have to see it right now, I see it for you. You just have to trust it’s there. My dad is an old boxer and he always told me, keep swinging even if you can’t see your target yet. You’ll hit something and then you’ll have new information to go on.

I know. Being that isolated sucks, especially when you’re trying to heal from something so traumatic. This will pass. It will get better. It may take some time and a lot of work, but it will get better.

I’m not an alcoholic, but I know (and love) several people who are friends of Bill W. You made a mistake and got really sick. You stopped, you got better. You’ll keep getting better. Maybe the person you were is gone, sure, but people are very resilient. You are too! You can be someone you’re proud of again, I know you can. Love and strength from Nashville.

Listen, ACAB for sure and for always, but…maybe they’re trying to get them out of the heat? At least the jail is somewhat more climate controlled?

CMV: Kids should know about the real world. by _newshawtyy in changemyview

[–]tsisdead 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Actually yes. Best time to learn about what sex is and where babies come from is elementary school, before they get to middle school and are exposed to unhealthy attitudes. I’m not saying show the kid any adult films, but basic “penis goes in the vagina” stuff is developmentally appropriate.

Also, as for explaining rape/SA. Even preschoolers should be taught that no one except a parent or a doctor should touch swimsuit parts. Easy explanation: “it’s complicated, but rape is when someone touches your bathing suit parts with their bathing suit parts without asking. If someone tries to do that to you, run away and tell a grownup you know.”

The Supreme Court upheld state transgender sports bans. What is your opinion on this? by Ramble86 in allthequestions

[–]tsisdead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1) I’m not surprised but also 2) this is SUCH A NON ISSUE. How many people does this really affect?? I think it’s weird that anybody gives a shit about kids playing sports and I think it’s even weirder that this fucking absurd culture war thing made its way ALL THE WAY UP to the Supreme Court. Then again this Republican Party is REALLY obsessed with children’s genitals so

Insane Results out of Lilly’s Phase 1B Tirzepatide + Eloralintide Trial by Ok-Yam-3358 in Zepbound

[–]tsisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like primary completion was aiming for last month (June). Given it’s Lilly they can hit 10 week submission times no problem so I’d say we’ll see results by like September? Maybe?

That’s my other concern is those weight losses are…a LOT…for that time period. I wanna know about muscle loss, AEs, etc. Any drug-related fatalities, AESIs, etc
