What's something that, after you had it, you immediately wanted another?

Cats are pretty great

My German 'must have more' was the sauerkraut. It is sooo much better there than in the states, and it was slightly different in each town I tried it. My staple meal was whatever the local version was of: sausage, sauerkraut, and wheat beer.

Durum was my jam!

I had a similar experience with broodje haring in the Netherlands.

Parts of your life are definitely more interesting than mine

Do you have ADHD? I've heard that people who do and try coke end up pretty calm or unchanged.

Cocaine is connected to so much pain and suffering in this world, it's one thing one should really abstain from in my opinion

One day I was cleaning out my second child's too small clothes and legitimately thought "If we have another I won't have to do this right now." Babies are cool indeed!

Do you like all babies or just prefer your own?

I feel similarly about my compact. It's easy to park, it has plenty of space for everything I need, it's adorable, and I fill it like once a month maybe? Honestly sometimes less?

I still have friends who she'll put like 20 bucks for a 4 pack of AAs regularly. Dude just get the rechargeables

Breathing, the deadliest addiction.

Man that smell never did anything for me until I smelled my own, then I understood.

Before that it was nasty AF!

That's how i lost 10 lbs.

1. Buy less snacks. Say no once at the grocer instead of every day.
2. If you do have some then they stay in the kitchen. You serve yourself the serving size. Leave the kitchen and eat the cookie. Easier to say no to getting another.

I've also found less-overly-sweet cookies help, both in terms of not craving them as badly and actually somewhat filling you up compared to the amount of calories you consume.

Unfortunately, it's quite tricky to find such cookies in the shops.

Excellent ideas ….. but what should we try when we finish the first sleeve?

At that point, it sounds like you should give yourself some days before masturbating, see if the time drops. Anything that sticks to a surface can be considered hands-free, too

Yep. This is why I don't touch alcohol anymore. I don't have an addiction or dependency, but when I drink a beer it makes me want another, and that one makes we want another. Then I'm hungover and filled with regret the next day. No point to it, so I just don't do that anymore.

This triggered me. :-}

Urgh, no. I have ADHD, I get prescribed methylphenidate hydrochloride. I take it because it makes my brain work a little better.

At a recreational dose though? No. Urgh, fuck no. The comedown was fucking awful. Zero appetite, can't sleep, can't think properly, just why? 💛

Deviled eggs are not allowed near me or I hoover them up with frightening speed!

So delicious!

Yeah deviled eggs are my weakness. I'll eat myself sick with them

Which one? I must know.

Scotch is so good, I can totally see that.

Mine was, oddly enough, LSD. It’s not even physically addictive. I didn’t even particularly enjoyed tripping, but in my day-to-day life I have aphantasia; I can’t visualize anything.

If I asked you to close your eyes and picture an apple, then rate 1-5 how realistic you could make it look, most people would probably land somewhere around a 3 or a 4. Not photorealistic, but it would at least be recognizable as an apple and convey the important parts. A few artists or particularly visual people may land on a photorealistic 5. The people who are more biased towards speech (like an internal monologue) may land closer to a 2, like a rushed sketch, or even a 1 where it’s just a coarse outline and some color.

I land on a 0. I just see the backs of my eyelids. I can describe an apple to you. I can tell you what it smells like, what it tastes like, what color I would want it to be, how big it is, how heavy it is, what it feels like to crunch into it and get a little bit of the peel stuck between your teeth, et cetera… But I can’t visualize it.

I always thought the “picture yourself doing/going/working/etc {x}” types of things were just a figure of speech. Like if I was in elementary school and an art teacher said to picture a thing then draw it, I would just skip the first part. I’d still use my imagination before putting anything on paper, but it wouldn’t be visual.

But with LSD, that’s different. I can actually visualize things. Not particularly well, because everything is wobbling around like it’s made of tiny ocean waves… But I can do it. I quickly found that creative outlets were much easier when I could actually plan things out visually before putting them on paper. It was like I had been stuck using black and white paints my entire life, and then someone handed me some red, green, and blue for the first time. I also quickly realized how boring life was when I couldn’t just conjure images out of the ether at will.

Sadly, shrooms (which is commonly compared to “like doing LSD then smoking a blunt” in terms of feeling) doesn’t do it for me. I guess it doesn’t activate the same parts of my brain. But for whatever reason, LSD specifically allows me to overcome my aphantasia. I haven’t done it in years now, but I occasionally get the whim to try it again. Not enough to actually bother tracking down a new plug, but enough to muse about it while I type out shit like this.

Eerily enough, I would have checked six of these off the list in the past day alone… I banged my wife, cut some fresh chives from our balcony garden for our omelettes, made some pu’erh tea with breakfast, then got a slushie on my way into work at the opera, where I wore my favorite shoes.

Really? Mine helps quite a bit with focus, but sometimes there are weeks where I forget it exists and just go "huh, aren't I forgetting something?" while walking past the med pile.

It’s both! Though Lay’s came first. I looked it up because I couldn’t remember.

Pringles is “once you pop, you can’t stop,” in the mid 1990s.

Lay’s is “betcha can’t eat just one,” starting in the early 1960s!

Now I want chips.

Aah the sugar addiction.

Cheap camera lenses are a drug

is a fidget cube just a Rubik's cube or am I missing something?

So much so I did come back a day or two later for another

In the mid-90's I went with a friend to make a tandem jump, just to say I had done it.

Ended up with over 4500 jumps over the next many years.

You gotta watch that first jump.

I'm retired from skydiving now. Got married, had kids and now have a bad back.

What up Dan Quayle

I also choose this guy's wife

So how many do you have at this point?
