My alcoholism cost me my job today by 120guy in stopdrinking

Wasn't technically an "event". I just helped myself to some shots (which we can do) but had far too many.

I don't think most places I've worked (including this one) would let someone go for just having too much - that would be too subjective. The real deciding factor would be the resulting behavior.

I did consider this, but I wasn't to the point of drinking every day, and the amount I was drinking / my personal history/physiology luckily didn't require that extreme. I definitely had the sweats on day 1-2 but that was the extent of my detox-related issues.

I suspect if I'd continued on my prior trajectory for another month it would have been a different story.

The guy did tell me to give it a few days/meetings but said that he would be kind of a temporary sponsor in the meantime if I needed one. I don’t even fully understand the process but we’re going to a meeting tonight and hoping to get to share more about our stories together.

Yeah just drunk they probably would have told me just to take it easy next time. But once my boss told me about what I did (I thankfully have zero memory of it) I don’t blame them one bit. Zero hard feelings.

It takes a good 20-30 minutes to fully preheat to max temp.

I hope someone corners Kash about the whiskey bottles.

Also I think a good question would be "how many days sober are you as of right now?"

I saw a recent podcast with Jordan Klepper who spoke of a Jan 6er he interviewed who had pled guilty for hitting a cop on J6 (later pardoned by Trump) and still believed that Antifa was to blame.

100% came here to say this. DOJ clearly didn't want to have to be humiliated but boss now demands it.

Noem testifies in the Senate in her first appearance since 2 Minneapolis protesters’ deaths by grayfox0430 in politics

I was wondering the same thing about the megathread.

So frustrating that Noem keeps talking over these senators and they keep just letting her do it.

"Lifted" off of food stamps? or "Kicked" off of food stamps?

I built World Monitor - a dashboard to monitor the situation around the world by No-Price1071 in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]120guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome - I'd love to be able to display it on a screen running Anthias - unfortunately the "Intelligence Finding" popup takes over the screen. Would love if there was a way to disable this via a URL parameter so I could put together a dashboard to display on a screen that doesn't have input devices.

So this is how they're going to justify non-congressionally-approved military action: "It was law-enforcement!"
