It will take years upon years but eventually this thread will be recreated.
I drank a bit of alcohol today and a few hours later wanted to instinctively blame my non alcohol problems on it (like my nervous system is messed up but alcohol is a plausible excuse)
Is this what addicts to anything go through? Like you get a secondary benefit of some kind and you just don't admit it to yourself. Then the actual physical addiction happens if it's substances etc
Another example from my experience, but without alcohol. I spoke to a girl that was "stalked" by some guy she met on 4chan. He was coming onto her pretty hard and somehow pressuring her to reveal her personal info like where she lives etc. He was also manipulative in the sense that he threatens to suffer a lot if she leaves. (kek)
So she was panicky and didn't know what to do and kept speaking to him until she got brave enough to drop him.
Now I didn't really understand why she did it.
The thought pattern of hers was bizzare to me. In hindsight it was probably like alcohol to some people. Sharing personal info is obviously bad but it was some form of intimacy she couldn't get anywhere else? so weird
Yeah I suppose it is normal among addicts. But you have to also keep in mind that people often abuse substances because of boredom or to cope with problems that they are burdened in their lives.
I don't know about your friend, but I suppose that you already told her to normalize blocking people more often
>boredom
I did hear remote villages have bigger drinking problems for that reason
>cope with problems that they are burdened in their lives
yeah I guess what I described is a form of coping. another thing I heard is Vietnam vets abused drugs but as soon as they came back home their addictions were much easier to treat or even gone
I knew these things in abstract but I never experienced how it actually looks.
>boredom
It's a spiral too. Those who drink out of boredom gonna have less tolerance for boredom and they reach for the bottle more easily.
Boredom is needed to be treated by creativity, not with alcohol.
We have a saying: the ox drinks alone. Drinking alone is often a sign of alcoholism. Bernds are often solitary so they have to be extra careful.

Some say that the end of the day, just before sleep we should look back and find three things (or more if we can, no harm in that) from that day that made us feel good. These can be quite simple even, like a good meal, or even a breath of fresh air, a moment of peace. But we should think and concentrate on these things, and quiet the rest of the memories.
This thread is for the evenings similarly. To look back and think about something nice and pleasant.
I recovered the first countryballs online comic known to be made

Absolute rulecuckery. I think people should just make and post Polanball comics without some kind of self-appointed authority to supervise and approve.
I think only a couple of people would make countryhumans and other crap, chiefly for trolling purposes.
If I had a site (a reddit group) dedicated to that, i'd just create a subcategory.
noticed how its same with vidya, once girls see gooning 6 times a day makes you quirky and porn addiction is cute if you're a girl I can't stop but notice "im so femcel gooner shoved the dragon dick up my ass i dont wash my ass for half a year", when killing yourself becomes trendy among "femcels" so i stop seeing them around?

just realized my internal dialogue is completely fucked and sounds schizo because my temporal epilepsy hijacks it
I'm basically the NPC meme, no joke. Not exactly the way people imagine it, it makes me very poor at communicating my ideas and also poor at planning and stuff but I'm generally pretty nonconforming

I see a lot of discussion about Existential Elk Theory. Basically saying that self awareness will be the down fall of man kind. It’s interesting and somewhat edgy, I find the fact that we use human geographical models to describe human behavior and growth but biological models to describe other species to be sort of a prove that it has some truth. I find it interesting that in the demographic transition model MDCs despite having more advanced technology people have less children (like in Japan) ,ultimately leading to the decline and later extinction of the human species that comes with development and intelligence.
