  • I've tried so many things throughout my life. Getting yourself to stop is going to be a personal thing. The last thing I tried that succeeded was taking a job out of town where I worked 12-16 hour days. It was manual skilled labor. I was working with my hands, they were often dirty, and frankly, there wasn't much downtime to find myself chewing my nails. This attempt to stop just happened to finally work for me. It's been almost four years. Keep at it, you can do it!




  • The FL situation sounds messed up, absolutely.

    I think we can mostly all agree on "paying" the debt to society. I put that in quotes because I don't think we're taking about fines which make it the cost of doing business for those in an upper income level. I think we both agree we're talking about punishments for serious crimes.

    With voting, I don't think it should be taken away at all from citizens. We should have a say in our representation even if we have violated a law. I can't think of any reason to take away voting rights as payment for a crime, can you? It's been used to control and disenfranchise minority populations since it's implementation. It continues to encourage systemic racism
