Yeah, tonic water really makes the transition from alcohol to “ok, now time to pull myself together” really smooth. Much less jarring that going from, say, scotch to water.

I think 2 bottles of wine and drunk (but not stumbling drunk) is a solid tolerance level. Others are apparently measuring “tolerance” by how much they can consume before passing out. We’re all using different yardsticks.

Yeah, 4 is “in the zone” where I can be lightly buzzed, be trusted not to say “fuck it” and entirely ditch my diet, and not have repercussions the next day. Maybe 5 if it’s spaced out and with food.

I don’t doubt that the family court system could fuck a guy up – in every sense. So, I’d imagine being able to laugh at things becomes only more vital.

In short, this is an adventure in Ross Douthat’s apocalypse of sexually liberated women and laws designed to harm families, but with a happy ending only he could write. Imagine if God met the man at Yale, but then took him to Hot Topic.

You make living sound like it sucks.

I use a bit of brown sugar when I season cuts of meat like a london broil, but I’d never put that on a good ribeye or strip steak. That’s just wrong. It’s WRONG!

Making bad habits harder doesn’t make sense.

You might want to look into meditation, or even medication.

And my point - rather obviously - was that if you can afford lottery tickets and cigs, you can afford to buy toilet paper in bulk.

but I thought the post was intended to imply that people are systemically kept poor and I was just pointing out that these items you listed aren’t really indicative of that.

Buying in bulk and economies of scale aren’t exactly rocket surgery, Dave.

That hook... it doesn’t look friendly.

Yeah, ballhawking is still stupid, but if anyone’s going to do it, this guy seems the most level-headed and reasonable.

Being snobby is generally frowned upon but for some reason, beer snobbery is not only widely accepted, people actively one-up each other.

So bummed that Fox gets the next World Cup. Darke and McManaman shitting all over England is the highlight of any international tournament.

So that’s how Varys warped back to Mereen from Dorne then. It all makes sense now.

I’m always for learning about the latest, up-to-date research (especially if it says I don’t have to spend money!), but I have to say these nutrition benefit studies (from vitamins to fish oil to chocolate) are really giving me whiplash.

At what point is it not OK to have a roommate?
