Your pointless thoughts & observations

What type of "scientific proof" are you looking for that would make you feel safer about millions of people across the world using this program to get clean and sober? Is not the fact that the program has been so enormously effective for this long kind of a huge scientific experiment in itself? 

Who asked for scientific proof and who questioned that AA can work for some people? I think you misunderstood the previous posts completely and therefore the rest of your comment can be discarded.

Pull your head out of your ass and save your energy for matters that actually concern you. With all due respect

Can you give me some tips on how to do that?

American Airlines gives out complimentary wine too - would avoid.

not on US domestic flights though. 

which brings to mind another pointless thought - airplane food always gives me a horrible bloated feeling. something about eating in a pressurized cabin, thousands of feet up, is just too unnatural for the stomach to deal with. 

I don't recall the last time I had one of the provided meals on a flight.  Not sure if it's the pressurized cabin giving you the grief, or the food itself.  Seems pretty sketchy most of the time (why I never accept it).  I'm all over the peanuts/pretzel bags tho.

I think it's only on those long haul international flights they give the complimentary meals. they don't give you anything for free on the US carriers anymore. yeah, I haven't troubleshooted enough to tell if it's the food or what, only know it always seems to happen to me after eating mid air.

at least now I have a kid with me so if I have to let out some of that built up air, I can, you know, just blame it on him.

It is said that some people actually enjoy the weird mixture of flatulence, diarrhoea and constipation. It's a welcome challenge, if you think about it.

HAFE stands for High Altitude Flatus Expulsion. Coined by a pair of researchers in the 1980s, the “tongue-in-cheek” term describes a phenomenon observed when mountain climbers experienced flatulence at high altitudes, said Dr. David Shlim, a physician and former president of the International Society of Travel Medicine.

Turns out HAFE is likely at play when you pass more gas on a plane.

If a mixture of flatulence, diarrhoea and constipation is weird, I don't want to be normal.

Mmmmmmm... It's so tempting though!

There should be a music medium that combines the hiss of cassette tapes, the crackle of vinyl, and the weird watery artifacts of poorly encoded mp3s.

I'm losing my hair.

I'm actually ok with it. Feels weird being able to feel my bald spot, but I love shaving my head.

shaving your head? tf is wrong with you? 

embrace that shit, brother

My hair is long enough to really weigh it down so I have a small freakout every once in a while when I feel the top of my head.

If you have fat hair and fat on your scalp the hair will stop growing there and also fall off! 

Wash your hair with shampoo more often and only with cold water! Or else you get bald guys. 
 

I started balding in my 20s 

i keep thinking my hair is starting to thin out but then it grows in thick again. this has been the case since my mid 20s at least. i dunno what the cause could be. my stress levels imo are generally consistently low & my diet doesn't fluctuate that much. whose to say

that being said, i do feel like if it did legit start to thin i would keep letting it grow out/rock the aging crust punk look. my haircut pattern is usually i'll just let it grow wild for many months until i shave it all off one day, and then keep it shaved until i get bored of shaving it

More of my hair comes out in the shower these days than I'm comfortable with.  But it's also longer than it's been since highschool, so that probably accounts for that problem.  More stress this last 6 months too.
