They haven’t experienced heartbreak, getting drunk and/or high, or failure. Maybe they were shielded from bullying. Adulthood doesn't look easy from this point.

At Aldi, I only buy pre-packaged and non-perishable goods. Meat and produce, I get someplace else. I have noticed (maybe just in my location) that they haven’t been stocking up on usual staples, but I’ve seen that too at the Meyer nearby.

I used to shop at Mariano’s since it was right next to the train station that I take to and from work. It was also a yuppy one (with a bar and a band playing and drunk young couples with double wide strollers blocking narrow aisles). It lost its charm when they narrowed down the aisles and, as you can tell, the other…

That happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I ran into a Jewel to get a handler of Jim Beam, some ginger ale, and a 24 pack of Coca Cola. When the chatty cashier handed me the receipt, he said “Don’t drink it all a once!” Mind your own GD business!

Stupid kinja! My original comment was meant for another discussion.

“That girl got PFIZER!”

Agreed about the Family Guy thing. Adult Swim can show more original programming (or reruns of their old shows besides ATHF or Robot Chicken). FXX shows episodes from their last two or three seasons (I swear they show the same one when I watch). Meanwhile, TBS and two local channels show reruns, and it’son Hulu.

I had a hard time getting into Tuca and Bertie when it was on Netflix. Then I watched an episode after the R&M premiere and enjoyed it. It seems like a great fit for Adult Swim.

What did you think of that scene where Jessie talks about her backstory and that Sarah McLaughlin song plays? That scene gets me every time.

Yeah. According to them, you’re not supposed to know any pop culture before you were born. I grew up watching I Love Lucy, The Carol Burnett Show, Happy Days, The Monkees, Bridget, Three’s Company, Mork and Mindy... and as someone born in the 80s, it’s a shock to know that I knew these shows existed.

Question: does it still count if the winner throws up afterwards? I assumed that pucking afterwards wouldn’t count. My boyfriend and I did have this discussion. 

My brother says that this is from the CDC. This can’t be real.

Wish you the best!

I had the same problems with my car, and I bought it brand new. There were always issues with the battery. It ended up being an electrical issue.

I don’t regret it. Friday was the cliffnotes version of my time with covid. There was a moment when I threw up so bad that I thought about going to the hospital, but told myself to wait a day. 24 hours later, I ate a tuna sandwich and watched Milk Street with no problems.

How do you know my cat? He's pawing for his luncheon and I haven't had second breakfast yet.

Thanks for the reccomendations! I started listening to the Sober Powered podcast to convince myself to stop. I started with an episode where she explains the stages of liver disease and how it can advance if the drinking does not stop.

I’m guessing you saw the picture that AV Club used to report it a few weeks ago and was a bit horrified for a moment. According to them, it was mud.

“You run, you slide, you hit the bump and take a DIVE!!!"

Congratulations! I do want to quit drinking, but the last couple of months have been extremely stressful. The only time I didn’t have a drink for more than two days was when I had Covid. That ended up being nine days of sobriety.
