I don’t know why people like politicians, either. People’s irrational need to lionize them is pretty irritating.

I’ll never understand why people get such a hair up their ass over someone quietly practicing their own religion. Those men deserve to be nuked until they glow.

Before the days of netflix, my local library had copies on dvd. If you are in a big city, that’s an option. Failing that or piracy, im sure Netflix will bring it back one of these days.

I didn’t used to be able to stop at one drink either until I started taking Naltrexone in accordance with the Sinclair Method. After having it, you don’t really find it hard to put the glass down. But yeah, like yourself, I could easily go through a bottle. I was hiding them under the kitchen sink so my wife…

That was an awesome story.

Red Dwarf is the best kind of comedy scifi. Also, if you haven’t read the novella “Story of Your Life” on which Arrival was based, you are missing out on some really amazing work.

I am a recovering alcoholic. It took me a while to admit that, too. I hid it well enough that my wife didn’t know.

She seemed to specifically note at the beginning of her post that this was a public donation intended to encourage other people to give as well.

Where in my comment did I ever say that there was a downside to her act?

I think it’s awesome that she is actually making a donation. It’s more than I’ve done, so I really don’t have a right to judge; but I’m gonna furrow my brow a bit here...

They are cutting off their nose to spite their face. They know it will be bad for them, but what matters most in their minds is making sure minorities have a more hellish existence than they do.

It’s got a way higher success rate than just going cold turkey and enduring a lifetime of white-knuckling abstinence. I honestly now know how an evangelizing, church-going Christian feels, because I just want to seek out every drinker I can find and tell them about how they can find their salvation. With naltrexone…

Exactly. Developers aren’t salivating to create reasonably priced housing on an island that may as well be made of gold.

Everything you said is pure truth.

It really is neat. It doesn’t prevent you from getting drunk, nor does it punish you for getting drunk. All it does is block the endorphin rush that accompanies drinking.

Roses are red

It’s true, there isn’t much room for real substantive discussion. It’s a pleasant diversion with fun people, though. You just need to carefully curate your list of people to follow.

It might seem really basic, but having some peanuts on hand has always done the trick for me.

Lol, yeah, I’ve had to apologize to people about my inability to stop evangelizing about the Sinclair method. I talk about it very openly because if someone hadn’t been really open about it to me, I’d have never found out about it.
