i hate all forms of alcohol snobbery and pretentiousness, one up-manship etc etc

things that are fun and good - viagra while drinking. significantly slimmer chance of not being able to get it up. also taking mushrooms/acid while quite drunk coz it straightens ya right up, or at least you feel like that, you're still intoxicated just don't feel it as such. stimulants do that too i guess but i've not had the personal experience

personal experience of taking clonazepam before drinking : jesus christ never ever do this

why don't you try xanax and whisky next time

in fairness I think he was just saying he could easily function at 9/day any given day without losing quality of sleep or experiencing hangover, not that he strives for that each and every day

in response to the line of questioning "how does someone drink so much every day"

but if he does actually live that life yeah you're right it's liver-pickling for sure

i don't trust a person who is already mentally impaired to be able to accurately judge their own ability to function when they're mentally impaired.

mentally impaired :rolleyes:

but yes alcohol definitely has a factor that inhibits you from telling if you're intoxicated while you're intoxicated. some signs are obvious i guess :/ why drink driving is such a thing. get people too stoned to drive safely and they'll admit it and not feel safe driving

just because you're not shitfaced doesn't mean your reaction times are not severely impaired. reaction time is one of the things people are most likely to underestimate when they've had a few drinks because you don't notice it at all because your goalposts have shifted. honestly i feel stupid having to explain this to a grown man.

some people are prone to addiction and others aren't. i don't think the research knows why this is, but it's definitely been shown to be a thing.

my dad tried every drug in the universe and his entire life he described himself as an alcoholic, though he was completely teetotal

my mom would drink one glass of wine or gin and tonic and immediately fall asleep

i got my mom's booze genes, so i have like ten dusty bottles of various rye whiskies, and i drink maybe five ounces of the stuff a month.

imo it all depends on what you associate the drinking with. if you associate drinking with super fun times with friends etc then i reckon you're more likely to become an alcoholic because alcohol is associated with better times. but that's just my opinion and i'm not a psychologist so p.much you can ignore what i just said.

At least in the UK, drinking culture is so prevalent at university that the university itself has to force clubs and societies to have at least one non-alcoholic social a semester, because otherwise they just wouldn't ever happen.

did you know spoons have an app now and you can order and pay on ur phone and they’ll just bring ur poo poo to u? owns cos u never have to be at the bar near spoons clientele

Just before I left I saw they were doing this more and more in UK pubs. Honestly it's great so long as they don't expect a tip for doing that like they do for table service in Canada.

spoons always has a bunch of guest beers on and normally at least a couple local ones, so if the beer is poo poo it's your own fault for living in london. the guy who owns spoons is a real prick though

Wasn't he the guy who printed a load of false brexit propaganda on all the beer coasters across the franchise? Yeah he's a oval office.

iirc he gave 4m to the Brexit campaign then lost 400m in stock when the ftse crashed when the Brexit vote came in, lol

Jokes on you, because the FTSE skyrocketed a couple of weeks later when people realised actually yes a cheaper pound means we can invest in more UK stock.

Whoever was managing my fund owns. Before the vote, they bought a bunch of dollars, shorted the pound, and then bought a bunch of FTSE stock after it crashed.

Mr SuperAwesome posted:

it’s weird how the country going to the dogs equals higher stock prices but capitalism

Not weird at all, the companies remained exactly same so no real reason for them to be devalued in the short term, so their stock price went up inversely proportion to the more liquid pound it's denominated in.

thankfully, the best kind of computer touching (software engineering) cannot be fully automated, because giving the automaton a clear specification of the system to design amounts to designing the system. abstractions may improve, but that just means more opportunities for abstraction-breaking failures that take an expert to diagnose. without human-level AI, i don't think this job is going anywhere anytime soon

p.much. your next problem however is dealing with the avalanche of people shifting into software engineering because that will be literally one of the few jobs people can get paid a livable amount of figgies for.

imo ubi doesn't really work unless the automation is directly owned by the state and/or there are massive taxes on automated industry, which there are currently not. i'm much more in favour of just distributing the money being given to employed people with a good income to people who actually need it.
