It’s rare that I drink enough to get more than a good buzz or outright drunk. I guess that probably classifies me as an alcoholic and I’m wondering what this’ll do to me. I decided I'm not going to have a drink til I turn 34 in March. It's part money saving because I don't have a job but mostly just for health and mental health. I'm not a problem drinker but I kind of get into that trap of 2-3 beers at the "end of the week" on Friday, anywhere between 2 and 10 on saturday if I'm socialising and 3-4 on a Sunday evening and I realised it was probably consuming too many calories, costing a bunch of money I could spend on other things and if I'm being honest - affecting the decisions I make when inebriated to a negative degree. I went a a full month at 3 different times last year. It gets easier as you go. I liked to mark the end of the week by buying myself something like a diet soft drink or a kombucha or something instead of booze. I also set a goal of going for at least a 30 minute walk every afternoon and reading 75 books this year. My diet and exercise regime when I can afford the gym is already pretty dialled in but cutting booze can't hurt. EDIT: Congrats D-Link that's cool af.

Congrats D-Link on joining the engaged club Also, doing a dry January this year too. I did one last year, and the first few days were rough, but after the first week it was fine. I plan on going through with another month, and maybe giving it up for Lent, I dunno. Edit: my resting heart rate took a tumble during dry Jan, for proof:

gently caress yes D-LINK!! Happy for you. And I can't do a full dry January since we're doing a beerfest for my sister's birthday. But I'm cutting way way back and keeping it mostly dry outside of that. I've gained like 10 pounds the past month and hangovers have been accompanied by a depressed feeling because of how big the feel-good hormone hit is the night before.

I've been dry for just over 2 years now, so I guess I'm doing a de facto Dry January too. No way I could give up sparkling water, though.

Yeah I don't really like soda but I will go through cases of sparkling water. I have a third hand Soda Stream and it's fine, the flavor additives are very hit or miss though.

Joey Freshwater posted:Do you use a soda stream or anything like that? Nah, I'm just a Klarbrunn soldier. I think finding the subtle flavorings to add to the water would be a challenge, and knowing myself, getting a soda stream would spiral into engineering an actual CO2 tank connection to the drat thing.

I just finished Don't Look Up and while there's a lot of hate, I think it's a really entertaining watch and I enjoyed it more than just about any other apocalypse movie out there. It was probably a bad idea though. I haven't been in a great head space because work is killing me, I'm testifying in my first murder trial this week (of a child), the planet is dying, we are entering our third year of pandemic with no end in sight and *gestures wildly*.... I goddamn near cried during the dinner scene. D-LINK posted:She said yes, my brother. Turns out she's been impatiently waiting for me ask bc some snitch in my family blew up my spot Yooo congrats, being married is awesome. It's scary as hell to ask though, even if you know it's a yes. Such a big life moment.  Joey Freshwater posted:I thought about it and realized I haven’t gone a month without having a drink since before college maybe. I’m 38 now.

It’s rare that I drink enough to get more than a good buzz or outright drunk. I guess that probably classifies me as an alcoholic and I’m wondering what this’ll do to me. I'm also 38 and while I've had a few dry spells (usually Dry Whatever Month), I've found I mostly drink out of boredom. I also rarely get hard buzzed or drunk but it's easy for a Preparing Dinner Beer turns into beer 5 while I'm watching a little TV before bed. I took three months off last year over the summer after getting megawasted one weekend, and it put a lot of poo poo in perspective. Then football happened and social drinking returned and I backslid a bit. Didn't slide all the way back though. I put some miles on in my 20s and while I've slowed down a lot in my thirties, I probably should stop drinking altogether outside of social situations. There was a good Life Kit podcast out last week about dry spells and journaling sort of document how you feel. I'm going to do that.

I couldn't get through more than a half hour of Don't Look Up, and it was purely about how anxious the movie made me.

^^Big same, I was profoundly uncomfortable for basically the entire movie. I have tomorrow off in observance of New Year's Day but my wife doesn't, time for the "just sit around and play video games" day I've been craving all break. Not that it hasn't been enjoyable without such a day!

I can't remember if I posted this in last year's thread but I'm having a hard time separating my thoughts on the movie from my thoughts on social/political satire in the present day in general. There's stuff in there to like and appreciate but man it felt like a really straight putt all throughout. But among people I've talked to I seem to be in the minority there so maybe I am just brain-poisoned.

Maybe it makes me a baby but I have a really hard time with end of the world media and zombies. It also makes my anxiety pretty bad. I have an ex who was very offended that I didn't like stuff like the Walking Dead and she thought it made me a little immature to have issues with it.

I watched the pilot of next level chef because curt menefee told me to, and it is very needs suiting as background TV. The gimmick didn't seem to impact the cooking all that much.

The political comedy poo poo with shots at Trumpism were a little on the nose, but I'm not sure if that's entirely because it's bad writing, or because satire has been dead for awhile. There were really good comedic moments like Kate's obsession with why the general charged them for snacks at the WH, or Chalamet getting mega hype for fingerling potatoes gently caress I LOVE FINGERLING POTATOES and I thought they did a really good job capturing the helpless feeling Dibiasky and Mindy were feeling throughout, their journey as lost people in their personal lives, and how they came to accept everything. I enjoyed it, but it gave me tremendous anxiety and big emotions. And also everyone shits on everything all the time. LeeMajors fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Jan 3, 2022 |

Oh my good friend keeps trying to get me to watch Handmaid's Tale but I'm in a similar "nah, too close to real life" space. Plus I've read the book and that was enough for me.
