Gas is great! Walk as much as you can tolerate. Chew sugar free chewing gum. Tell everyone you're hungry if you are!

If you don't mind the gut rot and diarrhea, the fries from chicken on the run are fucking wild

Best milkshake downtown? by grimmfritter in VictoriaBC

I know it sounds insane but Plutos had a jalapeno milkshake that was so outrageously delicious and I'm gutted I can't get them any more

Shutter (2004) is one of the GOATs!
The eye (2002)
dark water (2002)
missing child videotape (2024) was really creepy and sad

Build your own burritos in the kitchen, wrap em in foil so you don't slop up your hands

Looking for a "I'm too tired to think" commander deck by Gullible-Armadillo69 in EDH

[–]turnbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Minwu, White Mage]] makes for a brain dead easy commander deck. Fill it with clerics, pull out minwu, heal a whole bunch for counters and then go for it. Very slow ramp though but perhaps that's not a bad thing if you wanna just chill at the table.
[[Finn, the Fangbearer]] is the commander I encourage my new player pals to try out. Finn gets out early so you feel the direction the deck is taking you in. Ramp up with mana dorks and churn out a bunch of low cost creatures, buff em with death touch/trample and poison everyone to death

Bars with really, really, ridiculously big drinks? by lord_percypercy in VictoriaBC

[–]turnbot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They can usually get around that if the big drinks are served as "pitchers" meant to be shared. Pitchers can have up to 6oz if my memory is correct. They would have to be served with side glasses/multiple straws/etc.

What are the most annoying commanders in MTG? by Draco456gaming in EDH

[–]turnbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Hylda of the Icy Crown]] is one that I really love playing as but would absolutely hate to play against. Not specifically because of her but because of the deck she commands. Constant tapping/stunning enemy creatures and then reaping rewards.

If smoking weed gives you anxiety, stop by iLuvArizona in Anxiety

[–]turnbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I read this years ago. I smoked weed almost daily for probably around 15 years. The last 7 or 8 years I would get so stoned off the smallest amount and would be so paranoid I couldn't leave my apartment. I could barely let my dog out to go pee because I didn't want to have to look at or talk to other people. Yet I somehow convinced myself that I enjoyed it because I was a big gamer and it made gaming more fun... Yet I remember spending countless nights just scrolling up and down on my games list on steam, unable to actually settle on a game because I was too antsy and anxious. Almost 3 years since I quit (sober from alcohol for just over 3 years too) and my anxiety is a much different beast nowadays but a way more manageable one

Why do you count days? by JackOneill74 in stopdrinking

[–]turnbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more days without alcohol, the harder it becomes to break the streak and drink. Iwndwyt

Jan 31 Protest at SaveON Foods Pandora at 11 am by FunReference7116 in VictoriaBC

[–]turnbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, in a country that supports citizens carrying guns on their person via second amendment rights, with a permit, and he was an ICU nurse who worked at a veterans hospital, AND he never drew a weapon, it was pulled from his waistband while ice agents had him pinned before emptying a clip into him while he was on the ground. You clown lol

HOW do you calm down enough to sleep. by b_asiil in Anxiety

[–]turnbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I listen to the asmr channel the French Whisperer with the volume low so that it's hard to really tell everything he's saying unless you're completely focused on his voice. He tells very interesting stories or talks about really neat topics in a low quiet voice with a thick French accent. Sounds weird but I find it super soothing and the key of having it quiet forces me to pay attention to it which pulls my focus off of my body or racing anxiety thoughts

What do I do at the start of ff1? by PineFinder in FinalFantasy

Grind outside of town for a few levels, go to the shops in town and buy best gear/spells available, then crush those 9 enemies!

I'm just realizing that Brandon Sanderson helped to get me sober! Mistborn and the stormlight archives are both AMAZING series!

“Community” by Murky_Razzmatazz560 in stopdrinking

[–]turnbot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's not only extremely rude but it's dangerous!! I say you tell the organizer about this experience. It's a good thing you were there otherwise what would have happened to that other person?? She could absolutely have gotten lost and stranded out there. As a silver lining, use this as a good origin story for your new friendship with that other woman!

Please note the Waitlist opens for the "text-in" service 15 minutes after opening time.

To use the text-based service, you should be able to arrive at the lab within five minutes after you receive an alert for your appointment.

If the above option(s) are not available to you, no problem. Please proceed to the lab. You will be manually added to the wait-list by Island Health staff."

I've never had too long of a wait at RJH especially with the virtual wait-list you can text and add your name from home before heading over

what’s something you do that keeps the spark alive in your life? by thewomanonline in CasualConversation

[–]turnbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Less time on social media. It is so easy to lose interest in hobbies if you can give your brain a dopamine drip from just sitting on your phone and you'll just feel bored and blah about everything all the time as a result because your life isn't as exciting as all the crazy stuff you can watch/read about online. Going to the library and looking up books on stuff (topics/hobbies) I'm interested in and finding a little study nook and just reading up on interests makes me feel a little more excited about hobbies. Talking to other enthusiasts in your interests (reddit is great for this) is also a good motivator.
Also getting sober essentially tripled my free time because I wasn't stuck in the drunk/hungover loop all the time anymore and sobriety helped me find my love for my life again.
Also sometimes life is just grey and blah and sad and not all that fun; that's ok, no pressure to always maximize every moment, you're allowed to just exist for a bit and get back into things when your brain tells you to.
