I relapsed after 7 months and blew my entire savings in five days.

Currently feeling really sick. I went home just barely, I have $30 to my name for the week, I'm not in debt but I feel like I am because of the losses. I played slots, blackjack, roulette, craps, I lost and I lost and I lost and I lost, I kept playing though, I didn't say no.

I was considering selling my PS5 but I know I'd gamble that money too, so I can't. I don't want to give you guys the numbers but I'm giving them to my therapist tomorrow. I drank so much over the last four days, more than I thought I could possibly drink, and it surely didn't help.

I never felt like I was on top of this thing through that timeframe, and that's what's scary. I always knew that the urge to go back was there and sure enough all it took was a few days to throw away any progress I'd made. This addiction sucks.

Not saying they will but.. The Jazz have the tools to win a championship for the first time in nearly 30 years.

Jazz aren't my first team, but I feel like hyping this squad up. The 9 man rotation is nasty, you got Lauri and Keyonte as elite offensive players, JJJ and Walker for defense, Ace is being molded into a legitimate great scoring wing, and Darryn (DP, double penetration) Peterson is going to be the next Jazz great. Not to mention Flip who is going to shock the league, Brice who can't defend but shoots the shit out of the ball, Collier who can't shoot but is fast as hell and most importantly, SVI!

Jazz will win a championship in your lifetime.

Edit: I was drunk my apologies

I'm not that old, but the way the younger generation has had so much revisionist history on 2k20 is crazy to me

Gonna be a corny post here but bare with me as we chat some Meta for the 2k series. When it came to 2k20, The game was not good man. You were young, locked in your house with COVID, and this shit was forced into being enjoyable for you. Layups had no consistency and constantly missed for no reason, players throwing passes into guys backs for no reason leading to turnovers. Like I'm just being honest any 5v5 mode in this game was BROKEN.

And after six years I see the nostalgia and praise of this game going crazy, like what the actual hell are we doing anymore? No one liked this game lmao. I'll be honest the best part of 2k20 was that it had some notable lighting upgrades over 19 and the park was, sometimes enjoyable.

I get that the 2k community is notoriously unintelligent and is incapable of objectivity or giving fair criticism to the game, but the way that these games get so much praise in hindsight when they were universally hated during their time in the spotlight is what's hilarious to me.

I get nostalgia is a big factor for some people too but even as someone who grew up on 2k7-2k11, I think 7 is a pretty rough entry and the series peaked around 11-12.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Edit: was thinking about it and realized something similar definitely happened with 13, 13 was a crazy flawed game that has all of its flaws glazed over by nostalgia lol

Weird question about Penis scenes (mild spoilers?)

Alright so obviously there's a good amount of member in this movie, not as much as 4 had, but during the scene with Chris when he's flinging his dong around like a doorstop, they use a censor bar on the close up underside, to which his Weiner actually kinda goes past it.

Is this like a joke bit kinda like in one of the last movies where the censor bar moves off of the dick entirely? I figured they could've been implying that Chris' cock is quite large or something as well. Or are they not allowed to show that angle in particular so they have to censor part of it? I'm actually curious because I know there's some Hollywood rules that restrict showing erections and such but I'm wondering if certain camera shots also have to be covered.

I'm also asking because this has been a thing for awhile, they really try to hide phallus in as many shots as they can whether it's by having the guys put theirs between their legs or just having specific angles that don't really feature it in full force.

Appreciate the answers!

Who is this year's Hansen Yang/massive late riser?

Genuinely curious about this thought, I remember Yang Hansen being discussed as a mid 2nd rounder before he jumped into the middle of the first round due to a Portland pick. Who do you guys think ends up being that type of guy in this draft?

So, the Bucks made the big move, got a pretty sizeable return, but own none of their own draft capital, what now?

I get that the Giannis trade is a huge topic and will be covered extensively by so many people, but one thing I do want to know is how Milwaukee is going to handle the next like, 5 years, as they don't own their own draft capital until 2031.

Obviously, they have a couple of picks in the draft tonight, and those are, in my opinion, huge potential pieces for this team moving forward, it feels like they pretty much need one of these picks if not both to be cornerstone pieces of the future. I could be wrong and they could miss on both, but it definitely doesn't seem like they have a lot of room for error anymore.

They still have a couple of bad contracts on the books like Kuzma and Turner, there's a chance those guys get flipped but at this point it seems like they need to either let them expire or at the bare minimum try and see if one of them has an improved season to try and move down the road.

My post timing on this might not be the best since Herro could very well be moved tomorrow, I would imagine he lands them some assets but nothing too substantial. At this point I definitely think Milwaukee is going to want as many swings at the bat as they can get during these next couple of years, I could see them trying to trade back with a pick and maybe trying to acquire an extra asset, but again I could be wrong.

Free agency definitely looks to be important for them moving forward and although they're a small market, I could see them utilizing the new CBA to maybe overpay someone who could've gone elsewhere. Just a really interesting and probably experimental future here for the Bucks.

Tigers Jaw is absolutely in their prime right now and musically speaking one of the best emo acts of the 2020s, even after a great 2000s and 2010s

I adore Tigers Jaw's work all the way back to the old demos, Danielson/The Sun were my favorites on the first album, self titled fucking rips and I love Adam/Wicca, but there has never been a point in time where this band put simply, fucked harder, than right now.

​

They are so incredibly professional sounding now, the new album has by far the best vocals of their entire discography (though I don't care how you remember me was up there too). Lost on You is easily my album of the year so far and is absolutely all killer no filler, just fantastic tracks.

​

It might not have that edge or the vocal breaks that filled the first few years, and their early work is some extremely influential, and phenomenal work, self titled might even be their best album still, but the live performances and overall music is just so tight and "professional" right now in a way that I can't describe to people who haven't heard the band in 15+ years.

​

Anyways, part two of their tour is still going with the great Pool Kids, highly recommend you guys see it before it wraps up. I might go catch another show of theirs while I'm on the road. I'm glad I could witness it

I completely gave up on my diet during a month long vacation and had some interesting results

[25M, 6'1]

On May 1st I was 212lbs, my high in the year was 227 in January so obviously I've been trying to lose some, but starting in May I decided to change things up and just keep getting my daily steps but eating what I wanted.

On May 30th I weighed in at 233. I averaged 25000 steps a day during the month and still managed to put on 21lbs, well sorta, I'm back to 226 today, but I'm mildly shocked to say the least. If 3500 net calories on top of TDEE is a pound gained, the implication is I ate like 6000 calories daily..

I probably did lmao. Why am I telling you guys about this? It's really easy to ruin progress, but also San Diego food is really goddamn good and worth the weight gain. Cheers

The way that Bovada handles disabled accounts is awful

Had my account disabled because I had asked to be banned from slots lv, so obviously they just marked me as a problem gambler and disabled my bovada account, problem was, I had $500 in pending wagers, for some that's not a lot, but for me it meant a lot because a lot of them already won and easily total up to what I've placed.

I messaged about it and they won't let me check pending wagers, so I have to trust their word, and it's extremely tedious as I have to go through customer support and wait for a specific date to withdraw despite having some bets placed years out. So I effectively have to trust that they won't screw me over here and take my money.

Some of my bets were having the spurs get to the finals for example, stuff that just hit, but I can't withdraw until later and I can't even see how much I've won because of the account being disabled.

Sorry for the rant, just frustrated with the site, also none of the customer service agents feel like real people, or they just have no clue of how to speak English or are using a shitty translator. Godawful situation.
