That is true for every addiction, like gambling, it’s not the opioid that makes you not functioning per se, I met some people that you couldn’t believe they were junkies because even if the substance was their priority it wasn’t at the expense of everything else. Alcohol abuse it’s the worst, I saw people devastated from it and it’s legal…

Because the moment you don’t have any for whatever reason withdrawal is horrible, you can’t function properly without it… also you have to consider the risk of overdosing, for opioids is very high if you’re not careful

Oh shit you caught me! But you don’t know which one I am…

Offering me to do drugs together one last time even if he knew I was clean since a few years (this is not only cringe but also shitty, luckily I was in a good period so I refused) Then about 5 years after our separation he called my mom to tell her that he was still in love with me 🤦‍♀️

Everything he tried was cringe, not funny…

This is so cool! Did you ever find all of them?

Yes I was a rider for a brief period, your pay is calculated on the time and distance of your delivery but when you meet the client they can give you cash as a tip, you don’t have to declare it so Glovo wouldn’t even knew about it

Just a few euros are fine, only one time a woman gave me 5€, people here don’t use to tip but if they do they give you just the spare change from their pockets

Italy: when I took my license I had to learn on a manual car because the exam car has a manual transmission but my first car was automatic (a bit uncommon here 15 years ago) so I forgot how to drive a manual, then I bought my first RV and I had to re-learn on a 30+ years vehicle but after that I never forgot. Now I like driving manual cars but if you live in a city it’s better an automatic one

Non so cosa offrano i vari operatori per la questione IP ma ormai anche la FWA è abbastanza veloce se sei nella posizione giusta, la offrono anche gli operatori tradizionali ma secondo me è meglio la versione con l’antenna esterna tipo Eolo o Linkem

Because they treat their riders like shit (not only Glovo, every delivery company) and they also take a big cut from the shops, so if I want to order some pizza for example I call directly the pizza guy from the pizzeria or the supermarket delivery But if you absolutely need to use a delivery service at least give a nice tip to the rider, unfortunately in my country tips are uncommon, very few people give it and usually is just some coins

Yeah I don’t know if it counts as a boycott, I’m vegetarian but I don’t buy meat for our family also, my husband eat meat only when someone gift him (we are in a rural area so it happens)

Ti conviene aprire un conto titoli italiano, è vero che non costano poco (io avevo che banca ma è aumentato da 24 a 60€ all’anno, adesso ho spostato tutto su intesa che aveva una promo conto+conto titoli gratis fino ai 40 anni di età) ti costa comunque meno il conto che pagare 150€ al caf

Io mi sono ritrovata dei titoli (ereditati da mia nonna che si era fatta fregare) che non valgono quasi niente ma non ho mai dovuto pagare così tanto per dichiararli

Same! My psychologist and doctors are 40 min away, the big shops also, we have just the supermarket, the pharmacy and the post office near us, for everything else you need to drive a lot! And forget about public transport

Fast fashion companies

I buy on Amazon only if I got some gift card (because im broke af and those are free money) but never with the fast shipment

Fast foods, Starbucks and similar

Delivery companies like Uber eats or Glovo

Meat

I don’t buy not-reusable products (like toothbrushes, razors, cotton) with a few exceptions, where I can I buy the eco or tech versions

Quando ero piccola mio papà mi prestava il suo Motorola, quello classico con l’antenna che si sollevava e lo sportellino davanti, poi mi sono comprata un Motorola con i soldi delle paghette, non so che modello fosse, era senza sportellino e con l’antenna fissa, ma ero così contenta di avere un telefono mio anche se era una ciofeca!

Poi è arrivata la moda dei Nokia e mi sono fatta regalare credo fosse il 3310 con le cover intercambiabili e sembrava un salto di qualità incredibile per quei tempi

Un telefono che invidiavo molto a una mia amica era l’alcatel trasparente, era un periodo in cui andavano di moda i prodotti elettronici trasparenti, c’era anche il Game Boy!

Un mio amico diceva “che ti venga un cancro al culo” adesso capisco dove l’ha sentita

In Italian when you can’t swear with a “vaffanculo” (f you) you can say “vai a quel paese” that’s “go to that country” And specifically in Milanese dialect you can also say “va a ciapà i rat” “go catching rats”

Coursera is not free but it’s nice, they have a ton of courses, you can pay a monthly fee and follow them at your own pace

You said it perfectly, mindfulness is not the absence of thoughts but the awareness that they always come and go and you have to learn not to stagnate on them and letting them go, like a flow on a river or clouds in the sky. For me visualizations like those work well but other people focus on breathing or on their bodies

I was about to ask which country uses those mega pills because here in the EU alprazolam and other benzos are usually very little pills
