Okay... so you're either Chinese or Malay? Do you speak the German?
 
I've seen enough video on r/roadcam to agree on having a dashcam. I don't have one yet mainly do to laziness. It's honestly not that expensive. One of more often suggested models is only about $100.

My company provides a dashcam; I'm deciding if I want to drop money on a GoPro of something for longer videos.
 
OMG i did not know you could die from alcohol withdrawal.

Doctors say alcohol is often the most dangerous substance for the body to withdraw from – and still more so, when attempted without medical supervision.

About 16 million people in the United States have alcohol use disorder, which the National Institutes of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism define as "compulsive alcohol use, loss of control over alcohol intake, and a negative emotional state when not using."

For those experiencing the most serious symptom of withdrawal – the shaking, shivering, sweating and confusion of delirium tremens, or the DTs – the death rate has been estimated as high as 4 percent, or 1 in 25.

Of patients admitted to one hospital in Spain with alcohol withdrawal syndrome from 1987 to 2003, a research team there found, 6.6 percent died. That's roughly 1 in 15.

That sounds like a Monday.
 
I heard something related on a podcast. People often think DTs mean detox, but it means delerium trems or some degree of hallucinations.

Alcohol can inhibit normal REM sleep meaning alcoholics don't get proper sleep. During withdrawal, part of the brain that has been denied REM or proper dream time will seize the chance to get it, whether or not you are sleeping or awake. I can imagine this leading to a kind of waking nightmare or paranoid hallucinations.
 
In the end, we got like maybe 2-3". could be more as its still snowing. Went out & did a couple of donuts on an empty Super market parking lot in the morning with Sport+ ESP off.

Hopefully, tomorrow I can finally go to work after almost 6 weeks of absence, before Christmas break.

SO basically, reduce slowly. That actually can make sense, same with weight loss.

Yea that's one of the reasons why i drink far less often now and when i do its not too many drinks. I found too much was keeping me awake or increasing my chances of having night terrors.
 
Everything okay there Bellybama ?

Thank you for being so caring. You're totes attentive.
I was catching up on what I missed (I searched my name, blech) and voila.

It's fair, I judged you as a [insert what I said] and, in return you instantly know what is missing from my life, so as I could discover enlightenment.

It's especially applicable to me, comming from a man that says "wait until the woman spends some money, then you spend money."

In the words of Ariana Grande, "Thank you, Next."
 
And this is exactly why I became a lurker... Well, other than being banned. My opinions aren't wanted.

The SJW Idiot thread basically labels me as an idiot because I want people to not be cruel to each other? To be able to use a toilet? I'm an idiot, because I have actual experience with sexaul assault, with being a sex worker? The people you don't know are idiots because theyre homeless?

Because they include women in games they ruin a game? Honestly, you're a pathetic, weak person if you are that threatened.

I was honestly upset months ago because I felt attacked by Andy, when he said I kept attacking him. (He never acknowledged it afterwards, even when I offered so much proof to the contrary, and I asked for a single example) I'd been saying that the forums needed Andy to Ballance things, and bring AA games to our attention.

Honestly, the only reason why I played Abzu was because of Andy.

I asked him to explain how he was offended, and he didnt. I openly asked for him to explain it, and PV, you certainly didn't give a s***.

My association with these forums spiralled from that, because I always felt that I wanted to include people, to look for a lighter side, to help women, and open the community to queers.

My word vomit at Arnold Swisse was the moment that Andy waited for!

He'd been banned from two other forums for putting others down, but the victim. He found the moment to get his SJW revenge!

(I totally deserved the ban. But I only reached that point because.... Well... f*** it.)


These forums for me, were a way to have my geek coincide with being gay. And for a long time, I thought some of you guys understood what I said was a joke. I literally felt like I was a part of these forums. I felt like I brought some light to things.

Someone quoted me as "he doesn't seem himself. He used to be fun"

Andy literally stole the joy I had associated with these forums.


Now, when I read the threads, my glasses aren't as rose tinted, and I'm happy for you kids.

I literally post bare minimal s*** in the threads relating to the games I'm playing, and I still look at them as colourless.

Andy is totally posting nice s*** now, and I'm happy for him. I want to hit like on his posts all the time now, and I wish this was the dude that came back a year ago, but he has said numerous times "omg I thought you blocked me?!"


Anyway, the people that I actually like seeing on these forums, are mocked continuously, or completely ignored. You have some treasures here! Rollins, Hedonism,The Kid. Valliance and PV are amazeballs.

So, to cue my next ban, if the earlier text didn't work, Andy, I love you're new persona that you're presenting, and not because your pro-Xbox, but your pretentious wankery seems to have decreased too. (I loved the art wank)

I presume you were told to not be an a******, but if not, kudos to you.

And if that doesn't get me banned, Andy, I personally consider you a fake c***.

Make this one permanent.

So....
1) you were a homeless prostitute?
2) are you referring to me regarding being banned from two other forums?
3) who are you mad at?
 
So....

3) who are you mad at?
1) I was homeless, and happened to experience what it's like to be a sex worker when I was a teen. Call me what you want. I paid tax(that's a lie, I didn't pay tax)

2) A mod from these forums got banned from two other forums after touting how one was a paragon of conservative progression, and the other for offending the rationale.

3) I was pissy at you for thinking that you knew how to 'fix' me. I was pissy at a bunch of stuff. "He will find enlightenment from ballance" when referring to me, and then youre saying someone else is dictating your spending habits? Really?

Also, I had no idea about who you were when I flipped my switch at you. I still know nothing about you, when I got back and you offered your 'enlightened fixing' of me... I didn't like it.

So... Ummm yeah,

It was a good meaning tip, sorry if you felt the need to get angry at that? I just wanted to help.

If you're living with someone, you have to make sure you're balanced in every part of time spent together or there will be conflicts. One way to make sure everyone is happy is to give and take in about same volume. That's a tip for you when you find your special someone.

I drove for 12 days. It is so weird getting back into my tiny car.

I used to deliver for a nuclear pharmacy and drove a van all day, my personal car at the time was a Nissan Altima so every day when I'd leave work and get into the car to go home I felt like my ass was dragging on the ground for the first few minutes. It must be that multiplied by 100 for you lol.

Yesterday, driving home, a lady was going slow and swerving a bit in front of me. Of course, I hammered my horn. I gave her a death stare as I go by. She's on her phone, holding it by using her shoulder to hold it. She also has a coffee in the same hand. I shake my head at her. She proceeds to attempt to drive me off the road. It's times like that that makes me wish I had a dashcam.

I wish you had a rocket launcher lol.
