Yeah this post was low effort as well. It’s easier to assist people who clearly want to make effort and have their head wrapped around it a bit but to attempt to hand somebody all of this while they’ve got a half-assed writeup and lazy ideas, the best I’ve got is to continue refining oneself and ones focus.

This is the same as addicts discussing sobriety without them actually being prepared or willing, it’s a fuckin waste

It sounds like you need to sort yourself out and stick to your convictions

people are streets

Hopefully they do a deck return program like guns

this post doesn’t apply to me at all but here’s a paragraph about some third party bullshit that’s tangentially related at best, but really doesn’t meet the spirit of the post

“my mouth tastes like… emails”

whatever the gd one with stinko man is gold

This is so succinct and good, thank you ha

Learning any instrument and creating music

If you need a random mf to talk to hmu. Do it. You don’t gotta be a square just because you clean yourself up. You just may fuck up a few times, so may as well try sooner than later.

Lmfao goddamn this is good

ensuring profits for the next generation of shareholders

Ok weed was up top but this is more bang for the buck

Shit I forgot! Good call

I search here to find what is apparently available, then do decision making from there

Edit:

Plex has a similar functionality to suggest streaming services, so you can in theory build a list to watch and be given leads

Edit 2:

Letterboxd does as well!

This sounds like the “don’t make everything political” rhetoric which is naively hilarious. If you’re encouraging moderation for the sake of mental well-being, sure - but that is just that, like many other things.

Information is a well; people will come and go. How much any one person consumes, like food and drink, is their choice regardless of consequence. You can argue diet, drugs, alcohol, entertainment, masturbation all the same.

Personally, I’d rather take on the mental burden of being informed over being as clueless as some. Ignorance leads to many problems, higher costs when you’re not much of a problem solver etc.

Provide him a bunch of self help resources and some candid conversation and encouragement. Change starts within and it’s solely dependent on the person in question. You cannot champion somebody else’s change, you can only really assist and cheer.

Tell the mother fucker to stop digging his hole, because life isn’t full of miracles.

Change CAN be swift and efficient but that depends on a lot of factors and it sounds like your friend needs to sort out the home environment and bad habits first.

Try Atomic Habits or The Power of Habits as suggestions since they clearly still struggle with step 0.

Find a positive activity or hobby to do with your friend. Getting outside in nature is great for healing the mind and soul, and doing that with a friend is easier and potentially more enjoyable. Usually pretty cheap also.

Breathing exercises. Meditation.

Your friend has to find willpower and control, then start with that power towards the goal(s).
