That's exactly what someone who WAS Joey Goldberg would want us to believe!

We've all figured out that, right at the moment Mals Marola decided to retire his account and make a new one upon his 9,999th post, you murdered him and made a new account exactly in the style and voice of his posts, banking on the fact that we would all assume Joey Goldberg was the new guise of Mals.

And you would have gotten away with it if it weren't for El Detective.

So they stop selling alcohol in Yucatan at 5 pm on Sundays. I purposely went to a supermercado far away to get some ejercicio ... got to the cashier at 5:15 with my modelo negras ...

[buzzard]

How long are you there for and do you need to participate in converting the locals or is this more of a free rein situation for the old Took?

[topleybird]

Not to speak for him, but you make it sound like bringing the word of BORIS to all is some sort of job, whereas I think Took regards it more as a calling

I sold about 1/3 of my record collection and a friend gave me a big TV. It's so over for me.

[ilikeplanets]

Embrace the middle age. TV is your new escapism.

[slunken]

I can't stop watching it!

[slunken]

I haven't owned a TV (not a brag) since like 2005 I'm literally a toddler wowed by big images

[ilikeplanets]

I went through that exact same thing about 5 years ago and now I have "my shows"

Gross

[redbreegull]

is there still a chat that excludes people?

[ilikeplanets]

I have not tried that discord one in a while, not sure if there was/is anything else

Having a Jack n Juice in this guy


My kids today, man. And school is probably canceled tomorrow since we're having some serious snow. I don't drink much, but this is self preservation tonight!

Remember when Billy tried running the narrative of "I'm actually allergic to alcohol" when technically everyone is and now he's drinking wine again?

[slunken]

I know that's such a trivial petty dumb thing but I always think of it

alcohol is a toxin but I don't think that's the same thing as having an immunoresponse to it

Proud of you

[ilikeplanets]

I hit 5 years clean from drugs, weed, and cigs a few months ago. I still drink a glass or two maybe 10 times a year since I'm not addicted to alcohol and that pattern works for me...yoga and chai just doesn't cut it every time.

[ilikeplanets]

I need to be less addicted to the internet for real

Yeah, that’s part of it, the high actually starts way beforehand though, when i am planning my next “sex as drugs” party for myself, which i can’t seem to stop doing, even when the party is going to end up destroying (or at least robbing me of) my life. Shaking hands, adrenaline in my chest, very classic sex addiction stuff. Doing a class now since the 12 step meetings for this are horrendous in my area. Don’t need to hear someone who molested their adopted step daughter for 5 years, went to prison, got out, and did it again to another girlfriends kid, tell me that because of God and the 12 step cult, he is a good person

That’s huge, amazing work

A psychiatrist once advised me everyone has addictions, we all have things we depend on and can’t do without - it’s not realistic to live without addictions but we can try to choose ones that destroy us the least. I’ve been holding on to that and getting fat for 20 years. Food was the safe drug. Plus, I was on olanzepine for 3 years so it was inevitable in some ways.

Food addiction robs me of stuff, too. But I have two kids and I’d rather be fat and unfit than stoned or drunk in front of my kids regularly.

I had the weirdest experience today. I attended a meeting at a psych ward as one of the ‘normal’ people, to support someone who is unwell at the moment. Afterwards I pulled up to the first set of lights next to the hospital. And I counted the sets of lights between the hospital and my house on the way home. 5. 5 sets of traffic lights between me and the ward. And 22 years. But I still cried. It was surprisingly triggering

I've noticed my phone has this weird gravitas as an object. I often don't want to be in the same room with it. But it's so inescapable

When we were all in high school or whatever, and cell phones with a wifi connection were only just starting to become a thing, could any of us have ever imagine things becoming like this?

[ilikeplanets]

I distinctly remember my high school life changing when Myspace hit the scene. And the cascading effect that had on my entire generation, and these generations behind mine. In every facet of life. I love having access to endless information but my phone usage is so compulsive that it's rarely productive, and actively destroys my focus.

15 years addicted to alcohol as of today and no signs of relapse into sobriety! #greatful #onelove

I've been using marijuana both medically (w/ support of mental health team) and recreationally. It has made my PTSD hyper-vigilance go from like an 8 to a 3 and it's improved my mood considerably. It's also made me less uptight/rigid too.

I definitely need to be careful for a lot of reasons though. I take capsules/edibles medically during the day and that is fine, but I decided to go with concentrates for vaping because I have asthma and absolutely can't smoke anything, and vape cartridges have a lot more potentially contaminating things (heavy metals, what they cut the oil with, etc). I'm definitely feeling an addictive pull, though it's OK right now and I'm being honest with my docs. Also, somehow it's completely destroyed my appetite and sex drive. Which is not a big deal, and I could stand to lose some weight, but it is odd. I don't even get munchies when vaping usually. I've never been someone who could keep snack food in the house without eating it all but now I can.
