It's like his advice of "you gonna have to work hard for success, stop chasing instant gratification" is nearly on the mark, but he shits all over that by highlighting that he hasn't learned a drat thing in regards to his own mistakes! In fact that's nearly every reply in a nutshell, good advice that clearly doesn't apply in their own situation because "i'm good at this poo poo fam, just got a stroke of bad luck"

Addictions are never cured, only managed. They are always there, lurking, waiting to emerge and take control one drunk evening.

I'm not surprised that the Ryzen didn't do much for AMD, a lot of us have been repeatedly burned by AMD/ATI products in the past that all look great on paper and benchmarks, but suck rear end in real-world use. I used to be a hardcore AMD fanboy in the days right after they switched from the ceramic package athlons (thunderbird-> palomino IIRC) and athlon 64. They just keep falling short of what Intel and Nvidia are capable of outside of benchmarks.

Anti-addiction drugs make you able to drink and not give a poo poo, like a normal person. Or just stop because you no longer want it at all. They are real and promising. That board is for Naltrexone.

I was getting blackout drunk every night and had no control of myself, and then I stopped drinking to excess within a few months of starting treatment, and now I haven't had a drink in a year. No meetings or therapy required, and I no longer take the medication because I don't need to. (I keep some around on the off chance I feel like drinking, which I literally never do anymore.) Skepticism is warranted given how much is being promised and how unlikely it appears, but this poo poo actually works. I won't derail further. Look it up if you're interested; please don't dismiss it out of hand if addiction is a problem for you. E: a better source epenthesis fucked around with this message at 22:33 on May 13, 2017 |

I'm glad to hear it helped you. It sounds like you'd like other people to be helped by it as well. If so, please think about finding something that appears more reputable than a link to a sketchy looking forum. That only enhances people's skepticism.

But they probably panic sold in the middle of the first down turn. Edit

Thank you for your contribution, that was a good story. Other than being irresponsible with money, the Reddit poster's parents are apparently also bad at preparing real estate for sale: quote:Going to be quite frank, the old house was ugly and in disrepair. Very ugly. Surprised it even sold.

I looked it up and it's specifically the gas released when teflon is heated above 300C / 572F, which is also toxic enough to humans as to cause flu-like symptoms, but birds' respiratory systems absorb stuff from the air much more readily and so wind up dead from something that would just make a human kinda sick. Truly the horses of the sky.
