Ya. I got Century Club on Reddit based mostly on AdviceAnimals posts that hit front page.

Thing is, if this is "relatable", then people are nodding along and normalizing it. It's a classic half-joke. Only not actually funny.

Call me crazy... but maybe find a way to deal with your emotions that doesn't involve compulsive spending and damaging your marriage?

Better yet, offer to help them with their time management. That way, it's a positive and friendly offer, not an overt criticism. And it jams in a little more condescension.

Uh, or just don't get one? This is a stand-alone product with an unconventional business model. It's not like they're forcing it on anyone.

...and yet, here we are. I left Reddit recently because of the drop in quality, and a lot of folks I know agree that it sucks even if they aren't yet tapped into the fediverse. The internet still has a lot of friction and inertia. These things take time. But the momentum has shifted. These social media cesspools can't last, even the most idiotic knuckledraggers will eventually smell the stink.

The downside is that they will find their way here. Lemmy will be bigger and less cool. Eternal September, am I right?

The woman I loved decided to give it a go. 13 years later, we're a super happy family.

PS: also, being bi and resisting the social urge to "be true to myself" and go gay, assuming the straight part was obviously bullshit.

Oh shit. That stuff is probably delicious.

I once tasted some regular Cuervo gold my buddy brought to a cabin weekend. He was going to make margaritas (with HFCS mix) and I nabbed a pour to sip on. It was one of the best tequilas I've ever tasted. I couldn't believe it was Cuervo, and then he told me that it was a bottle his Dad brought back from Mexico in the 80's. Apparently that stuff was really good back in the day.

I love Arak. Every country in that region has its local anise booze, and Israeli Arak is my favorite. I basically make my own by infusing vodka with anise.

A handle of tequila with cacao nibs added. I do infusions, and this was a failed experiment. Should have tried it in a mason jar.

Though it usually works out well. I have a bottle of premium Costco vodka with two anise stars and some simple syrup added. It's like a homemade ouzo and delightfully sippable for $18 a handle. I also have slices of pear in another bottle, and it's yummy. And a mason jar of bourbon with black peppercorns, which I like to splash into an Old Fashioned.

Hot tip: Buying flavored liquor is expensive and never as good as infusing it yourself.

Silly question: could they evolve the infrastructure to an actual transit system?

Yeah, this has nothing to do with Biden. That said, it sounds like the rules are not being applied fairly. That said, it's not like America has fair, consistent policies or anything...
