I googled fat pikachu today because I saw (and took a picture of) a dog that looked like fat pikachu, had to send both images to a friend.

Weird seeing it mentioned on here only hours after.

New Orleanians looking for their coffee fix began mixing chicory with coffee to stretch out the supply. by GeoJono

Some high percentage of people are sensitive to chicory, I personally can’t drink it without getting spaced out, hot and agitated and it raises the average persons gut acidity, old job had cheap coffee for staff and I got tested for IBS and other issues until we worked it out.

If anyone here tends to have upset stomachs often with burning check your coffee, it may be cheap and you might be sensitive, it wrecked havoc on my digestive system for close to a year.

You don’t need a separate account for games that would usually need a sign in for coop.

A lot of big games nowadays need two accounts that own the game for coop, it’s stupid considering if it’s on one machine it should just work like it always has

It numbs the symptoms more than treats them. I pulled myself off as it was becoming a problem before it became a problem, I didn’t want to have to ruin the only thing that helps my back come out of spasm but even still it’s a constant effort to not overindulge.

Luckily one of my things is having control over myself so I’m constantly making sure I eat healthy food and don’t destroy my body with substances, so many others aren’t so lucky.

I mean I get it, years ago I was spiralling with prescribed codeine use to numb both back pain and ADHD symptoms, now I refuse the prescription and use over the counter doses (half strength mixed with either ibuprofen or paracetamol, the fear of stomach lining/liver damage stops me over doing it).

Even without my back pain I’d struggle to not use less than once a week, they make me calm, collected and stop most of the weird “possibly more than the ADHD spectrum but further testing required” triggers and other behaviour.

Thankfully though I am in that queue for further testing so I can hopefully stop poly usage and live a more productive lifestyle. Life sober is difficult to the point I’d rather continue being poor with a substance problem even having spent plenty of time sober.
