TROPHY CASE

I have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and will be fitted soon for a dental appliance. Had a sleep study conducted on me last night! by bpoagin Tucson

[–]bpoag[S] 0 points1 point ago

No prob.

OSA is a bitch of a problem. For many, it's not even a weight issue. Its genetic, often times.

My wife and I have been married 9 years, and all but maybe 2 months of that time we've had to sleep in different rooms. It sucks ass.

Today was my first day without any withdrawal symptoms from heroin. Reddit, what was your proudest moment? by IM_HOMELESS_BITCHin AskReddit

[–]bpoag 0 points1 point ago

I'm damn proud of you. You've done well.

My advice?

Don't kick the habit on will power alone.

Kick the living shit out of it, yes, but do it with anger. Use your anger to choke it to death with your bare hands, screaming at the top of your lungs until the slobber runs down your chin, and your eyes bleed from all the force.

Breaking an addiction isn't a matter of will. Its a matter of anger. If it were a matter of will, you wouldn't have become addicted in the first place; your will would have prevented your addiction from setting its roots and taking over. The reality is, breaking free requires anger. In anger, nature has given us an unbelievable power to change ourselves and solve problems--so, put that power to use. Get angry enough at it that it serves as a vehicle for your recovery.

Ill share with you one of the most important thing ive ever learned. "Pig". The instant you feel like falling back, just say quietly in your own mind, to yourself, "....Fucking pig." The pig represents your addiction, your problem, the thing holding you back. The pig will stop at nothing to take everything it can away from you. The pig will take advantage of you every chance it gets. Just remind yourself, every time that fucking pig comes calling, that you know it's game. You know how it operates, and you're fucking sick and tired of it. On every twinge, say it to yourself. Fucking pig. Fucking pig. Fucking pig. Every time. Get angry with it. Eventually, your brain will rewire your addiction into a repulsion.

This technique will get you over everything from addictions to bad relationships. Even if you have to say it to yourself literally several hundred times a day, keep doing it. Eventually, you'll see it go down, day by day, the pig will go away and find an easier victim somewhere else. Every day, you win.

Use your anger as a vehicle to implement the changes you need to see in life. It's a beautiful thing.

1) This is a post. 2) No. 3) Because this is an Internet forum.

Perhaps you might benefit from a quick nap.

Reddit's hatred for Martyn Ware is incredible. I've tried to post this twice, and within 60 seconds, it gets downvoted.

WTF.

Someone will and ultimately must fall on the extreme ends of a statistical bell curve.

GOP claim that President Obama has "spent more than every other president combined" is a total fabrication by HouseSpeakerin politics

[–]bpoag -1 points0 points ago

Abraham Lincoln, he was a martian too. Older, tho. 5,000,000 years!

Your stance falls to the level of an opinion in the absence of facts. How many more times do I have to ask you to simply sustain what you've said, using actual data?

[–]bpoag 0 points1 point ago

You are in violent agreement with me.

In no way shape or form have I suggested that Obama's spending is outrageous, out of control, or even unfunded. We're still in the crapper because of Bush, and, if anything Obama kept us out of a depression by listening to the economists who's job it is to tell us how to avoid it. Worse, the GOP has put the brakes on further efforts to improve the economy by abusing filibuster powers and holding federal appointments and nomination procedures hostage.

I am in no way shape or form a fan of the GOP.

Been there, done that, got the parchment.

For all your crying and whining, cannot supply a single citation for anything you've said?

Debt is a meaningless figure unless it's stated in terms of GDP.

Here's an example.

Let's say i'm $5,000,000 in personal debt. You might think my situation is hopeless, that i'm about to have everything reposessed, i'm about to see my house go into foreclosure, and declaring bankruptcy is imminent.

Surprise! $5M is a a chicken's fart worth of debt if I have $50,000,000,000 in the bank. This analogy is true of the US economy. We have ample ability to sustain that debt load. It helps when the world depends on your currency. And you're investing trillions in other countries. And have a crapload of assets. And exports out the wazoo.

The US is a very, very wealthy nation. The #1 economy in the world. Our debt can be in the trillions, and that be completely fine, as long as our growth of bad debt is not outpacing our ability to sustain it. We have enormous currency reserves, to top it off, and 60% of the world's money is dollar-backed..Our debt load can be 100% of GDP, and still be fine numerically. It would mean 0% growth, but, with equal money going out and coming in, everything that needs to be paid is still getting paid.

Can't cite any evidence? Any data? Nothing?

Citation, please.

[–]bpoag -2 points-1 points ago

One more try.

Please cite legitimate, non-partisan sources to back up your claim.

Otherwise, you might as well say Obama added $100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to the budget.

Beyond AHCA, I cant think of a single piece of major legislation that has passed under the current Congress, let alone spending legislation. I asked you to cite one, if you can't in your reply, don't bother.
