Kratom helped me a ton when I was in a debilitating depression. I was finally able to start doing something besides sleeping, watching TV and eating. I was able to start exercising, taking care of myself again.

I took the same dose twice a day, and got less effect from it over time, but it happened gradually while my depression got better. After 9 months I stopped taking it and had withdrawals. I had to go back on it and taper down. I did it super slow, 10% reduction per week just because I was scared of falling back into depression.

I didn't feel like it was addictive, but it does cause withdrawals if you stop taking it abruptly. The same thing can happen with most psych meds too, though. I lost 6 months to terrible withdrawal from a prescribed psych med even though I tapered it.

Ive been getting mailers every other day for the past couple weeks begging me to write in Biden. They're spending a lot of money on this for some reason, these are folded full color mailers with a different design for each.

I think it would be funny if he loses, so I'm going to go vote for the whoever did make the ballot.

If I was in your situation I would lie and say I didn't have a pet, sign the lease and smuggle them in. Put their crates inside cardboard boxes to carry them in. Then after a few weeks approach management and try to get permission to bring your emotional support cats in.

Worse case scenario you've bought yourself some time to save up to find a better place. Just make sure that if they find out to start looking for a place as soon as they give you notice to move because it's super hard to find an apartment with an open eviction case. Look into your state's laws, most states they require longer notice periods when the eviction isn't for non-payment of rent.

Normally I'd say be honest from the start so you can find a landlord that will accept them, but it seems like you're in a tough situation right now.

My theory is that everybody thinks the platform they use is the best and most aligned with their politics because they've trained the algorithm to feed them the content they like.

YouTube hasn't shown me anything remotely right wing in ages, but every time I try tiktok I have to thumbs down 10 different channels that repost Joe Rogan and Elon musk clips.

In my experience, the person at the rave most likely to commit a SA, is the person talking nonstop about the spiritual aspects and healing powers of psychedelics.

I can't imagine a cop spending doing anything about it besides arresting you for trying to break into it.

They'll just use their magic words that get them out of protecting anyone but the bourgeoisie, "It's a civil matter".

Finally, I've found my place in the dominance hierarchy

The stupidest part of this thing will be the repair costs and corresponding insurance rates. A shopping cart ding can't be repaired with Bondo and paint. Nor can it be repaired by normal paintless dent repair tools because it's 3mm stainless steel. Basically any accident will require panel replacement, since there's only a few shops in the whole country that can repair stainless steel body panels.

A fender repair that would cost $1500 on a normal vehicle will cost $10k. I'm sure we'll see parking lot accidents that total one of these.

It depends a lot on the game. I've played a lot of switch games with no problems on my 12600k and 6800xt. The new Zelda game was really hard to play, though, even with all of the various performance tweaks and mods available 3 months after the launch. Frame rate drops, glitches, timing flaws, bugs, etc. It's probably in a better state now, but I got sick of trying the latest settings and mods and still having issues.

Better to claim it showed up with copy paper or or a bag of sand in the box. Whatever it is must weigh close to the same as the video card since the shipper weighs the package while in route to you. That way if they do an investigation the box will weigh the same as it did when it was scanned and they'll have no idea where the video card could have been stolen.

Make sure to order it on a credit card. If Amazon won't refund you, contest the charges and the credit card company will refund you.

If they ask for a police report, don't worry. Call the non emergency line and tell them you need the report to get a refund from Amazon. They're likely to take the report over the phone(some bigger departments even will do them via email). They will do no investigation as long as you tell them you got an empty box.

Turscak, serving a 30-year sentence for crimes committed while a member of the Mexican Mafia gang, told investigators he thought about attacking Chauvin for about a month because the former officer, convicted of murdering George Floyd, is a high-profile inmate, prosecutors said. Turscak later denied wanting to kill Chauvin, prosecutors said.

Turscak is accused of attacking Chauvin with an improvised knife in the prison's law library around 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 24, the day after Thanksgiving. The Bureau of Prisons said employees stopped the attack and performed "life-saving measures." Chauvin was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Turscak told FBI agents interviewing him after the assault that he attacked Chauvin on Black Friday as a symbolic connection to the Black Lives Matter movement, which garnered widespread support in the wake of Floyd's death, and the "Black Hand" symbol associated with the Mexican Mafia, prosecutors said.
