    The patches are good options in my opinion but ultimately I just needed to drop nicotine all together and have the willpower to say no.

    Edit: the best piece of advice I can give is you have to be deadly serious about not smoking, anything less than full commitment is a failed attempt.



  • Thanks for the advice. I’m honestly trying to wrap my head around the appeal or what it does for her. The app is called Gold and Goblins, and it’s an idle game. I’ve never understood idle games as a genre but I want to try to come from an understanding place. I’m a PC gamer myself (factorio currently) and I’m used to paying once for a game and being able to play forever.

    I mean I have my own problems as well, my addictions are caffeine and nicotine. So I’m definitely not a saint. But it’s hard to talk to her about it when she pulls the whataboutism on my vices. I get it, my stuff is wasted money as well. I just don’t really see it as the same thing, Noone is compelling me with a time limited event or something to get me to smoke more.

    Edit: I’m also actively quitting both my vices, while hers are getting worse. I just worry so much about how it’s affecting her and her mental health.











  • Truly awful and the implications are actually scary. A no knock no announce raid in plain clothes, absolutely could’ve been home invaders. This is the most classic basic scenario of self defense and home defense. You have split seconds to react to a potentially deadly situation, but you better make sure that you spend those moments finding out if they’re cops.

    This judge just ruled that self defense in your own home is not a legitimate case of self defense, and to be honest that should terrify people
