I don't drink anymore. I also don't drink any less. It's true. I finally stopped drinking for good. Now only drink for evil. Speaking of coffee, everyone who drinks coffee in the morning is psychotic. You know what the world is like, and you're like, I want to be awake for this!

Also thought it looked familiar, but several places from San Diego to Portland came to mind. Pelicans, though. Possibly more to the south. What do i know. Michigan is 500 miles from an ocean.

Just reminded of this basic truth.

Meme:

I don't drink alcohol,
I drink distilled spirits.
Therefore I'm not an alcoholic,
I'm spiritual.

But i get it. Texting is no reason to drive when less than at your best.

Another English lesson. Why do we need these? Oh, b/c the average American 10 year old child has a 10,000 word vocabulary and functionally knows 10,000 rules of grammar. It only gets worse with age.

Meme: Know the difference

Much, much worse than alcohol is driving while texting.

I hear that in car simulator tests, being high on MJ is not nearly as dangerous as alcohol. Still recall learning that everything i thought i knew about alcohol as a kid is wrong. What weird is how it's pretty hard to figure out what it really is, given that it affects different people differently.

Money Quotes @moneyquotes.bsky.social · 14d

The first stage of wealth: stability.
The second stage: security.
The third stage: freedom.
Skip the flashy stage.
That’s the one that keeps most people broke.

@ravenmae.bsky.social On the one hand, Sisyphus humor! Great!

On the other hand, I’m sorry if this just reminds you of your illness. 😞

Michigan has a whole town devoted to Christmas, every day, every day, every day. Imagine it's New Years Day, and they're like, "It's only 358 days until Christmas. Come and buy stuff."

What's going on?

This shift from liberals being mocked as "gay crybaby liberal snowflakes" into "dangerous radical leftist violent murderers" needs to be studied.

Surprise her! A single rose, a loving text message, a picnic at the beach, hiding a dead body together, it doesn't have to cost money, it just needs to catch her off guard.

Alice Cooper liked this meme so much that he had it framed.

Picture of Alice Cooper (looking like something dead that the cat dragged into the house) holding a framed picture of a meme. The meme has a picture of a young Steve Carrel and a picture of Alice Cooper when he was so much older. The meme caption says: "This is Steve Carrel before & after smoking one marijuanas. You still think it's not harmful?! Think again"

See also, ageism. If there are young people who do not aspire to becoming old, i'm interesting in hearing what your alternative is.

It's disability pride month! ♿

Remember that you can become disabled at any time. That's not merely a fact, it's a threat to any ableists out there. :)
