That’s awesome!! I’m proud and happy for you!

Here’s the context for OP’s inspiration.

I appreciate this post!

I’ve never been to a meeting, but I’ve always heard the only way through AA is with God. And as a lifelong atheist, I don’t think that would work for me. I’d just be lying to get them to shut up lol (which would not be doing myself the real service I would need at that point).

I’m surprised there isn’t a more secular AA program. I can see the appeal of AA meetings without the 12 steps piece.

What’s the point of accepting a higher power? Is it so that we can just put the blame on them? Or accept our place in this grand equation? I think we can already do the latter without a god.

I’d love to read more if you do end up making a separate post!

I quit drinking and thankfully never had to go to a meeting, but I’ve always heard that the only way through AA is with God.

I’ve been an atheist my entire life, so I don’t think that would have worked for me lol hopefully we’ll never know.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m just going to block them.

She was a great guest - and it was really cool to hear the “mastadonverse” shoutout haha.

While not 100% her final point, one of the greatest disappointments of the Internet has been watching rot and crumble into just 5 websites, each just posting screenshots/videos from the other four.

He 100% raped Ivanka.

And regarding “Trump blew Bubba,” if it wasn’t Donald, I think he served his own daughter up as a sacrifice to fellate Bill Clinton (when she was a child mind you.)

I couldn’t take current events anymore and now I’m in therapy haha long overdue really.

I definitely think you’re right in that there are degrees to the evil these countries are perpetrating on the innocent.

I feel like the OP was just saying fuck X country who does evil, which is far from the complete list, haha.

Not to my knowledge, but I’m sure they’d like to and don’t recognize Taiwan as separate from China.

Taiwan, among other things.

Agreed! I’ve definitely got my eye on them for my next GPU upgrade (someday)

I was banned for speaking up against a proposed bill that reeked pro-life ulterior motives. I won’t mislead, my language is very harsh and crass when it comes to speaking to pro-life people on abortion, but I’ve been speaking like that on the site for 15 years.

Maybe I just “got lucky” in all that time and never got caught, or maybe it’s like you said and they’re trying to shift the site more conservative.

Good riddance, honestly it’s been a masochistic hole for me for probably the last 5-10 years.

I have higher hopes for this place, it reminds me of the early days of reddit before it exploded in popularity sometime in 2016 (and with that, the quality of posts and average age of the user plummeted).

I’m going to try this method!

T-Squared’s Halo tips that will have you fragging like a pro.

Figured it was going to be about his best friend being a horse - did not see that coming lol

I think your method is probably better, definitely more variety!

Nice username btw :)

Despite being a childish choice, any new restaurant I go to I order the chicken tenders. It’s pretty hard to mess those up (and they’re usually on the cheaper end).

I like to “get a review” from my wife and friends on their meals, and then I’ll decide if I want to branch out to the full menu if there’s a return visit.
