  • do I drink? used to.

    how much? too much. hence my answer to question one.

    it seems like more people are becoming aware of the idea that alcohol can be really harmful even when there's not a physical addiction. It seems like increasing use of terms like alcohol abuser, alcohol use disorder, etc. helps change the idea that there's this one type of alcoholic, they wake up and start drinking to function and they get the shakes if they don't. regular binge drinking doesn't look like that at all, but it's still really physically and mentally harmful. I feel like we have really normalized unhealthy alcohol use in a way that is dangerous to society.

    there are of course people who use alcohol responsibly and like it for loosening up a little, the taste, the process, whatever. I don't think everyone should be sober or anything. but man for a lot of people it can be real bad and it's easy to be in denial by telling yourself it's like like you're addicted, you could stop if you really wanted to, you hold down a good job, you never drink before 5, etc.

  • I think sometimes it's easy to think that if you love someone, not telling them something about yourself is lying by omission. But it's okay to have inside thoughts. You don't have to volunteer every single thing about your inner life. And doing so, especially unsolicited about a strange porn preference, can really signal that you're not a person with good judgement.

    Is this... interest... a major part of your life? Are you spending hours a day spanking it to this stuff? Is it affecting other areas of your life? If not, just keep it up yourself.

    Maybe one day she'll ask what your fantasies or porn preferences are in an attempt to spice things up or cater to your sexual interests. At that point you can decide. And if you want to tell her, you can preface it by saying you're a bit embarrassed about it so she doesn't laugh.

  • Actually not joking, six or seven years ago I stopped apologizing for "delayed replies. Maybe if it's really heinous, but if it's a week or less (or I was on vacation!), it's "thank you for your patience!" I'm not going to apologize for not busting my ass above my pay grade. Also how many things at most jobs actually need an immediate reply?

    I got a 5/5 on my annual review this year, I'm good at my job, but I'm not going to apologize for not replying to every email every day when I'm actually trying to get work done.

  • Damn though like, we don't need to denigrate people in food service. Some people do it because they didn't have other options, some people actually like it and are good at it. And either way I bet that teacher wouldn't like if there wasn't anyone who's worked in food service.

  • 30 miles in distance, which doesn't seem like much. But very different culturally. Where I grew up often didn't feel like home even when I lived there. It definitely doesn't now.

  • Man, I meet so many people who have left Ohio. People love leaving Ohio. In fact, an abnormally high proportion of astronauts are from Ohio. People wanna leave Ohio so bad, they leave earth.
