How To Stop Smoking Weed

If i had a dollar for every time Ive heard my friends say the are "quitting" the stuff its a garuntee that they are going to be smoking a ton by next week.

When you tell yourself "Im done smoking, never again" then you create a zero sum all or nothing decision.

As soon as you have a bad day (and eventually you will, every single human on earth does) and slip up and smoke once, you will realize as you are coming down that well "Im a failure, i started smoking again, may as well get higher again to numb the pain and forget".

And thus you have renewed the cycle.

The only friends I know who actually quit where the ones who cut back slowly, until they forget about smoking at all one day.

They cant tell you the day they stopped smoking, they just know that by such and such date they looked back and realized it had been a few weeks since they got high.

Focusing all of your concentration on not smoking is still wasting all of your time thinking about getting high.

You dont stop doing something addicting, you replace it with better shit to do, until one day you dont even think about it at all.

Instead of getting high after work, telll yourself you can get high after you get home from work AND finish your laundry.

Then once thats second nature, start only getting high after you are done with work, finished doing the laundry, AND cleaned your room.

Then one day youll wake up and think woopse i forgot to get high last night, o well, maybe when im done doing all of this today I will.

Why won't people accept Link as a man?

2ylyt 13 hours ago#1 People have easily accepted Mario as a male, why can't they do the same for Link? There's no point in justifying that Link is an avatar because he isn't. He has his own identity as a male elf. Moreover, he doesn't embody the player. Special snowflakes will find the smallest of loopholes to find their stupid "representation." If you're willing to make an effort, anything can happen (I hope...) stickyreportquote

Instead they keep prancing around that he's supposed to be an insert for the player so they can imagine themselves in that role which is why they keep his character to the bare minimum. That's the difference, Mario is a character and Link is a player insert, and since not all players are male the excuse falls flat on its face. You can't have it both ways you either build a player insert like a player insert, or you build a character like a defined character. When you get this wishi washi middle ground no one is fully happy because then they either have to deal with a character that has the personality of wood. Or they deal with a player insert that doesn't properly represent or feel like them at all. I've got a quote that embodies you perfectly, but it's seventy-three posts long, has a few massive flowcharts, and lots of Xion-KMA to Me (edited 13 hours ago)reportquote

They both have their own name and designs. An avatar would be a conpletely or nearly blank slate. Just because Link hardly has any dialogue does not mean otherwise. Those who are aching for representation over a solid character need a major reality check. If you're willing to make an effort, anything can happen (I hope...) (edited 13 hours ago)
