Many of us in the Upgoat are stimulating the reward centers of our brains with drugs and alcohol.

Now imagine if we were all stimulating the reward centers of our brains with actual rewards!

Have a fantastic weekend. Make good choices.

how naughty

[ - ] GreenSaint 5 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 19:44:24 ago (+5/-0)

Drinking is dumb. I get off work and drink and always regret it. I don’t even know why I keep doing it. I just want to drink on the way home then have it all wear off

[ - ] GreenSaint 5 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 19:45:59 ago (+6/-1)

I quit a drug problem I had. I started drinking everyday for the withdrawals physical and mental for maybe 3-5 months idk. But when I stopped drinking. I got this rush everyday. I was so high on life. It was nuts. So if I wasn’t stupid I could have had that without the booze. Just a fact for anyone reading this

Druggies don't know about a good pu-erh.

[ - ] Spaceman84 3 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 19:47:17 ago (+3/-0)

I hate that shit. Gross primitive chinkoid tea.

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 21:16:33 ago (+0/-0)

Most is blah, but a good one is weirdly delicious. Weird, because it's improbable that that odor and flavor could be so compelling.

[ - ] Spaceman84 0 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 22:24:48 ago (+0/-0)

I have never come across that one.

What is this pu-reh that you speak of?

[ - ] UncleDoug 0 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 22:53:25 ago (+0/-0)

pu-erh tastes like dirt, oolong is better.

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 00:15:53 ago (+0/-0)

I'd say more like a combo of used dishwater and dirty socks. Not the actual taste and odor, but it was such an unusual taste that that's what I thought of.

You won't go wrong with this oolong.

Trying, I spend many a weekend with based social groups. Sometimes alcohol and light drug use are involved but not always.

[ - ] Zyklonbeekeeper 2 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 19:15:06 ago (+2/-0)

...and you know this how?

[ - ] Trope [op] 0 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 20:26:41 ago (+0/-0)

Because of you faggots.

[ - ] RMGoetbbels 2 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 20:21:33 ago (+2/-0)

I drink because I am exhausted and sore every single day. For 2 hours a day the pain and most of the stress is subdued.

I know it's not right but it works and I'm not stopping. Come walk in my shoes fucker, you'll drink too.

[ - ] Trope [op] 0 points 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 00:20:34 ago (+0/-0)

If I walked in your shoes, I’d stop letting life push me around and do something about it.

[ - ] RMGoetbbels 1 point 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 09:50:42 ago (+1/-0)

I’d stop letting life push me around

You've got it wrong. Shits easy when you let go of the wheel

Try pot instead.

[ - ] bobdole9 0 points 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 15:35:45 ago (+0/-0)

That plus gin when the pain is real shit works well.

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 2 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 21:01:55 ago (+2/-0)

You know what I rewarded myself with? I took my 4 year old granddaughter to get icecream. While I was at the icecream place I saw a couple people I know and we openly talked about niggers.

[ - ] albatrosv15 0 points 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 02:03:17 ago (+0/-0)

In front of 4 year old girl, swearing about niggers?

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 0 points 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 10:21:48 ago (+0/-0)

Hell yeah, I raise her right just like I did with my kids.

[ - ] Spaceman84 1 point 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 17:52:22 ago (+1/-0)

Dopamine fiends. Get used to hating everything all of the time.

[ - ] Trope [op] 1 point 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 17:55:01 ago (+1/-0)

When we shovel food into our mouths, we are technically working. The dopamine is just so high, it does not feel like work.

Now imagine if we could find joy in our work. The dopamine would keep us going.

[ - ] Spaceman84 1 point 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 18:00:14 ago (+1/-0)

I guess I don’t need dopamine anymore. Food is just another chore. Eat to fuel your body not for enjoyment.

[ - ] Trope [op] 4 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 18:42:31 ago (+4/-0)

I eat healthy and I enjoy everything about the process from procuring, to preparing, to eating, and clean up. Not to mention when a meal is shared with others.

[ - ] MuricaPersonified 4 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 19:14:04 ago (+4/-0)

Aw man, what about marinating steaks with the perfect balance of seasonings, then charcoal grilling to medium/medium-rare perfection? That smell combined with fresh cut grass and the sound of wind in the trees? Pure bliss and one of life's highlights.

[ - ] inaminit 4 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 19:36:44 ago (+4/-0)

Imagine fucking up a perfectly good steak by marinating the damned thing.... FFS why not just drown the thing in ketchup while you're at it?

[ - ] Spaceman84 2 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 19:40:40 ago (+2/-0)

Not everyone is an autistic dork from Texas using just salt and pepper. I like A-1 steak sauce and occasionally a peach bourbon glaze.

[ - ] MuricaPersonified 2 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 19:40:44 ago (+2/-0)

Not the same. Lightly marinate, lightly season, and sear it real good. It's not comparable to slathering in steak sauce.

If it's not your thing, fine. It's the perfect method and balance for me and I ain't cooking them for you.

[ - ] 2plus2equals5 3 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 23:19:23 ago (+3/-0)*

Ribeye at room temp with the fat seams pounded soft. Cast iron pan super hot with smear of lard. McCormacks Montreal Steak or Lawrys. Cook fast to med-rare max. Or sear one side and 175 for an hour or so until it falls apart. Let rest a few. Unsalted butter to finish it off. No sauce needed. Green beans boiled and sauteed with mushroom garlic and reduced white wine. Eat whole sweet potatoes instead of empty starch.

Getting something done and working towards a goal is the best endorphin rush I get these days and it lasts. That cycle of frustration high and drinking because of failure goes nowhere.

The first thing is to change up the routine. Drink water or tea, go somewhere new, get some exercise, and lose whatever toxic influences are hurting you and sap away energy. Don't waste time on something impossible to change. We are born alone and die alone. In the meantime..

I still fuck with bbq because it’s low effort and flavorful but honestly I’ve worn it out. I’m onto fish now. Probably going to switch to meal replacement shakes that are meat and egg based and not even think about cooking anymore.

[ - ] MuricaPersonified 1 point 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 19:53:16 ago (+1/-0)

Lol, if all you want is low effort nutrition, go for it and report back!

Big fish fan myself, favorites are orange roughy and flounder. Prferably breaded and pan fried, but baked with a few drops of lemon juice works for low effort.

King Oscar's tins of kipper snacks are a pantry staple and quick eat, but inflation has doubled their price.

[ - ] Spaceman84 3 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 21:01:37 ago (+3/-0)

I eat a lot of herring/sardines and mackerel. I like King Oscar because it’s a higher grade of fish but I don’t like their foil lids. I want it properly canned. Polar is good enough for me.

Try cock meat 😉

Who hording all the drugs?

[ - ] texasblood 1 point 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 19:06:38 ago (+1/-0)*

Those that have growning their own for over 30yrs

[ - ] Rowdybme 1 point 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 03:39:17 ago (+1/-0)

I got this feeling like if we try to build a sand castle. It will be washed away soon. We need to start worrying about the chinks. The jews live here. They depend on us. The chinks want to destroy us. Wake the fuck up. The jews have made us the most technologically advanced country and the richest. The chinks literally want you and your country destroyed. Wtf is wrong you brain washed idiots. Oh and speaking of drugs. Guess who is pu.ping our country full of them. The chinks. The jews just want us to work hard and make them money. The chinks want to divide and conquer and their first step is making us hate the arch enemy. The jew. The jew makes us bend but not break. The chink will break us.

"good choices" name me a few of those

[ - ] Trope [op] 0 points 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 00:21:34 ago (+0/-0)

You can’t think of any? Perhaps that is the symptom of a larger issue.

[ - ] vol09877 0 points 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 11:52:24 ago (+0/-0)

so easy to give a real answer and yet you refuse

[ - ] CoronaHoax 0 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 22:02:17 ago (+0/-0)

not me

[ - ] GodDoesNotExist 0 points 11 monthsJun 14, 2024 23:51:23 ago (+0/-0)

God created drugs and booze so use them

It's not just drugs and alcohol.

[ - ] HatefulHomelessMan 0 points 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 01:44:33 ago (+0/-0)

I'm going to drink half a bottle of vodka tonight, because the alternatives are far less unhealthy.

[ - ] Rowdybme 0 points 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 03:42:29 ago (+0/-0)

Well you're gonna be bored.

[ - ] BlueEyedAngloMasterRaceGod 0 points 11 monthsJun 15, 2024 04:45:48 ago (+0/-0)

I don't.

With porn and femboys?😋
