Tomorrow, our nation will sit on the throne of the world. This is not a figment of the imagination, but a fact. Tomorrow we will lead the world, Allah willing.

keep on keepin' (your respirator) on

It is also the flu, which historically can only hang around at a very low level outside of winter. That r0 of 1.2 prevents it from doing covid's quarterly waves.

Maybe next year, basically.

Why are the right scale and the line even on there? What do they add that you can’t just read off the stacked bars, without the distortion of starting the axis far from zero? :psyduck:

On TV it really blew up in the early oughts. Sex In The City glamorized cosmos and Desperate Housewives normalized mommy wine culture. I can't prove it but it feels like those two shows normalized heavy consumption for women.

That does make more sense than beer sales being low and declining to almost nothing.

But how are we supposed to know that the bars are not stacked? :psyduck:

Oh yeah mine's totally genetic. Couldn't read the minutes on a clock in 3rd grade after one of my teachers had the whole class look. Apparently that age is really common for it to start showing up. Same for my parents and like 90% of all the family members I've ever known.

Spent the younger years of my childhood around California and had a wicked tan. We moved up to WA right before 3rd grade and there's no way 2 months of living in the PNW did that much damage.

mine hit in 3rd grade and i was a totally hyperactive child growing up in hawaii. completely genetic, has to do with the shape of my eyes vs my corneas or smth. when doctors repeat an old wives' tale, a lie becomes accepted as truth

Shocked that alcohol consumption has increased in the times where everything sucks rear end, and also that advertisers would notice and make sure you're spiraling with their particular brand

Like you can't watch anything on TV that involves adults and not see someone pouring a whiskey or taking shots. Online, the advertising is everywhere. In person in grocery stores it’s everywhere. The liquor lobby and costco managed to get states to turn over state run liquor stores in WA so it’s easier to get and Im fairly sure this isnt the only state that has happened in.

Over the course of about eight years I saw the ballpark here remove a lot of the cool historical baseball exhibits and replace them all with bars so they could sell more spirits. In 2022 they got rid of an entire building in the outfield and replaced it with a bar.

I had excellent eyesight until I was about 35. Being on a PC all day for work, then again after for gaming/youtube/SA and age probably contributed to the eventual need for glasses (though I still rarely wear them). I used to be farsighted, but think I'm near sighted now. My parents and brother all wore glasses much earlier on.

A question to the thread - is anyone still wiping down groceries? I am, but wouldn't be surprised if I was the last goon still doing it.

I still do, though since I only have to buy groceries for just me, it's not a big effort or time sink.
