Getting healthy is a personal journey. What works for some will not work for others. I hope you find your way.

As for how I quit tobacco cold turkey:

Every day, I would delay the first cigarette as long as I could. There was no limits to my smoking. There was no rules. Just me doing my best. No putting myself down for sparking one up, no goals to disappoint myself by missing.

Slowly over the course of months I got later and later in the day on average. Till one day I forgot to have one. Did I have a smoke the next day? You bet I did.

But eventually I made it a couple days. Then once I got past a couple days I tried to push for a week. Once you get past two weeks the cravings really dropped. It eventually become a “when I drink” thing. And then I abstained from alcohol to help that along.

I still drink, but I don’t smoke (tobacco). It’s been years since I actively smoked, although two years ago I did slip up when i was drunk tubing down a river and bummed like 5 cig from a friend who had a couple packs. It was a really good day. Next day, I didn’t want to keep smoking. I felt really strong to be able to smoke some cigs and just drop it. Haven’t smoked (tobacco) since then.

Feudalism was status quo in most of the world since the dawn of civilization and it was replaced in many parts of the world.

Pretty sure most of that is just him advocating for mutual aid/defense networks at the local level should the rule of law (lol) break down

If you’re so concerned about 3rd parties being a spoiler, then you must work towards replacing First-past-the-post voting in your state.

With a more representative electoral system, people would be free to vote for those they feel best represent them, with their vote still being counted against the republicans.

State level electoral reform is possible, some states have already done away with FPTP voting, and others are voting on it!

Given how this structural flaw in our voting system can be repaired, and your high level of concern of the spoiler effect, I invite you to my asklemmy post to discuss your new commitment to replacing FPTP voting in your state after the election.

Like what happened after the last presidential election?

Skittles, except it’s 100% green apple skittles and no other flavors.

I love how they reverted green back to lime in the regular bag. They knew they blew it. You gotta know some higher up loved green apple and wanted it in every skittles bag. Fuck that person. You have terrible taste.

I’m glad to be able to purchase skittles again after a decade+ boycott

Been thinking about them beans

Alas, we will no longer know the joy of the original formuloni

Crunchy, so I liked them since I’m a texture eater. But I get why people don’t like them. It’s almost chalky at times on the inside.

Cut them up and melt them into something edible. Things don’t have to be uses in the form they come in.

Holy crap, it wasn’t just me!
