I've tried so many things throughout my life. Getting yourself to stop is going to be a personal thing. The last thing I tried that succeeded was taking a job out of town where I worked 12-16 hour days. It was manual skilled labor. I was working with my hands, they were often dirty, and frankly, there wasn't much downtime to find myself chewing my nails. This attempt to stop just happened to finally work for me. It's been almost four years. Keep at it, you can do it!

Biting my nails.

I started at about two years old and chewed them to the quick for over 35 years.

This is my top interest. The only representative I know that I would trust to listen is Jeff Jackson, but he's been gerrymandered out of his House seat and is running for NC State attorney general this year. I've never seen anyone as transparent and understanding of what his role is supposed to be. Gives me hope that there might be others like him.

Toilet paper over the top

Am I missing something? I thought their lives were in danger or something. We're here talking about sleeping arrangements and clothing? From what they described, I put up with FAR worse while camping in various weather conditions here on earth. Am I confused about what they're going through?

Catharsis isn't the right word. Schadenfreude is for some, but the former, eh, not accurate in connotation

Careful with pressies

As an aside from the nutcase you responded to, this got me thinking, we generally put political ideals on a spectrum going from communism to socialism to fascism (in an extremely oversimplified example.)

This has got to be more of a field than a spectrum, right? Do you or anyone reading this have resources to better illustrate the differences?

These are all good points. We should also be vigilant, as you highlight, but especially because of the lower court appointees, board of election positions, and others that have been packed with bad faith actors preparing for this moment. It's McConnell's last hurrah.

I'm over 40, have ADD, have extensive experience, and am grieving two close friends who died of fent in their coke in the last few weeks. You'll likely conclude the same thing I did, that it's way overpriced and you need a whole lot more to get the dopamine dump that makes it worthwhile.

You asked, I answered. Knock yourself out (but please, test your shit. Fent strips are cheap and often free. Check with dancesafe.org or others for best practices on testing. I'm not worrying about you, but I'm sure you have people in your lives that love you dearly, and I hope they never go through what I'm going through right now.)

Because of that? It'd be a lot cheaper and much much safer to get a prescription for ADHD medication. You're not missing anything.

Best case scenario, what can we hope for?

Forgive my cynicism, but even if they get caught for egregiousness, I can't imagine they won't just get a "cost of doing business" slap on the wrist. I can only hope I'm wrong.
