why did i click into any of those lol
love this comment tho
[–]nogoodnamesleft426 44 points 2 days ago* This didn't happen in SF, but i remember sometime 10-12 years ago, i was in Mountain View and saw an RV parked on the street next to a DIY car wash, and there was a long orange extension cord plugged into an outlet on the car wash property with the other end of the extension cord leading into the RV.
The owner/driver of the RV was so blatantly siphoning electricity that i called the non-emergency number of the police department to report it. I did wait around to see that they sent two officers to talk to the RV owner, but i ended up leaving before i could see if they made him unplug his cord or not.
I understand completely the plight of some of the RV folks who are truly struggling and who work around here and genuintely need help. But regardless of if that's the case or not, i have ZERO sympathy for things like siphoning electricity or gas, leaving garbage and in general causing trouble. If the police need to come down hard on those people, so be it.
Edit: why TF am i being downvoted? Can anyone explain what is so bad/wrong about my comment? You really think it's okay for someone to just steal someone else's electricity like that? Who the hell do you think has to pay the electrical bill every month??
WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NARC ON SOMEONE STEALING ELECTRICITY FROM A RANDOM CARWASH. bunch of fucking losers. seriously.
no. i've been to dozens of psychologists/psychiatrists since i was 12 and none of them helped me. the most useful one was the one who diagnosed me with ocd in my 30s, but that was 100% based on me admitting i had 'obsessive thoughts,' which could have stemmed from any number of disorders (i also had cpstd which i diagnosed myself lol).
then, when i did get a formal diagnosis i went to several after that and none of them mentioned CBT or ERP-- i learned about them on reddit. i ended up fixing my problems on my own.
all that professional help and i had to bootstrap my own therapy. fuckers were so useless i couldn't even get legit benzo prescriptions even though my anxiety was so bad i couldn't work (would have ended up homeless several times if it hadn't been for family).
& if you want to try CBD buy from these guys and make your own oil (look up a howto on reddit or somewhere; it's simple) : https://gildedextracts.com/99-cbd-isolate/ don't waste your money on gummies.
The CBD space is incredibly grifty. Even reputable sellers like Lazarus Naturals will charge $20+ for a bottle of CBD oil that you can make yourself for $2. But if you walk into your local CBD store or gas station expect to be grifted way harder. One time I really wanted to try this strain of CBDv flower (Forbidden V) so I went to a CBD shop in the area and they wanted $10 a gram. A few days later I bought an entire 1/2 pound from a farm that was running a clearance sale for $20 (lol).
It's actually fucking criminal how much people get ripped off.
But I've had the best results from smoking flower or making my own oil with isolate. It definitely has a calming/anti-inflammatory effect. I'd suspect a lot of people who try it are looking for a high they aren't going to find or buying trash products.
those were all put into place pre covid though.
and unless i'm missing something in that article, they're all white countries other than hong kong. might as well be 'the west.'
what's your point? my point was that positive vibes were happening all over. america is full of drama queens.
dreamweb is really cool if you like point and click adventures.
Jarred salsa barely has any nutritional value if the back of the label is to be believed so I'd say no. Like, black beans should have a ton of potassium in them but if you buy black bean and corn salsa it'll have very little potassium so I'd assume any of the other nutrients like vitamin A that aren't required to be on the label are also lacking.
But it tastes good so who cares.
before the darkweb you'd use western union/moneygram to buy drugs. they used to have insane deals for benzos from serbia, like 1k valium/xanax/klonopin for $250.
I hated everything that charted in the y2k era other than 'all the things she said' by tatu and that's never gonna change. i still have PSTD from the thong song and break stuff being played at my senior prom.
