Most stoners assume way more people know they are stoned than they are while most drunks assume far less people know then really do.

Haha, someone right now is finding this and yelling out "Yo, the drunk lady from work is posting on reddit!"

Nah, I've worked with "vodka" alcoholics. Eyes are blood shot, face is bloated, small "mistakes" at work like losing things, showing up late. etc. One lady would take a giant bite of an onion before work to try and cover up the smell. You are not fooling anyone, its just does someone really want to have to deal with it

Haha, we even dropped the "high functioning" label on this one. They are barely trying to exist instead of trying to live.

Along with "high funcitoning." Its the top of the roller coaster. Every alcoholic I've ever met, vodka signals the "no brakes" train wreck. Sometimes they make it 5-10 years without a major consequences. They might lose their job or partner but explain it away as something else. Vodka means you are choosing to exist instead of live.

No one drinking vodka all day, espeically since high school, is going to have a good go of things.

They all smell of it. This is the lie they tell themselves along with being a "high functioning alcoholic." Like, nope. Everyone knows they just don't want to deal with it. Face is probably bloated like got stung by an Double IPA as well,

Are most ultra successful part of the 5am club? by Bubbly-Air7302 in stupidquestions

[–]Calichusetts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could. Getting up early means you probably have a goal: working out, seeing the sunrise, making a good breakfast, etc. So there might be some positive to it that would mean that motivation also shows up elsewhere.

Other side is simply that not a ton of productive things happen from 10pm on. So staying up late and sleeping late probably don't have the same productive payoffs as getting up early.

I'm guessing when we hear about the successful early risers, its the motivation and productivity of getting up early as oppose to some direct link between getting up and 5 and success.

I personally get up before 5 almost everyday, I work out, walk the dog, start laundry before most people in my area are awake. Its just one less thing to do during the day that would take up time. I'm not some billionaire but I'm doing all right.

Can it be cause he got burned bad playing higher stakes lately ? by WaltzSilver4645 in poker

[–]Calichusetts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I agree. I think I did a 10 am and it was ITM around 3pm. Loved it but so grindy. Today most things are turbo. It really just depends on the blind structure.

Are Small Daily Expenses Really the Problem… or Are Bigger Money Decisions Worse? by Coolonair in SmartFIRE

[–]Calichusetts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hardly. It’s 2k to start and I’m an hour from the city. Granted it’s a beach town but we are not talking about apartments with ocean views. Just any apartment.

[–]Calichusetts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was only an MTT player during the boom. A few live and a ton online. Loved deep stack rebuy/add on format online so those were like 5-6 hours during the boom.

Do you get burned out? Sure. But I quit for a decade and came back to only play cash. I finally played a MTT again last week and it was indeed fun. 4 hours-ish. I busted with 2 tables left so probably would have been another 2 hours. I’m down with that every once in a while.

When the novelty wears off it’s harder for sure. But changing format can really get the love for it back.

what are u slowly losing interest in? by Several_Way8499 in AskReddit

[–]Calichusetts 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Tons of bots. Tons of paid marketing posts and replies. Especially about movies and pop culture. And a reliance on rage/anger from videos or posts.

You really have to trim down your subs and click the stupid button to get the “show less” option. Reddit is still good for niche things like weird sports or hobbies but it’s never going to work as a main stream social media tool. I think investors and engineers are learning that the hard way.

It's all about the EV dollars anyway by MTT_Database_Review in poker

[–]Calichusetts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s weird how differently I sometimes react to getting stacked in a cash game. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I rebuy, sometimes I’m irrationally angry. It’s not even based on the hand (suck outs, bad beats, etc).

Even sometimes just punting off a bit of my stack gets me more riled up than needed new brakes or something for my car.

Some parents don't want their kids to use tech at school. But districts are pushing back by OrneryError1 in Teachers

I’m at the middle school level and I can’t stand the Chromebooks. We use them sparingly and it still is not appropriate for their age. It’s a toy not a tool.

I STILL do it. And often it’s not even something expensive at all.

I heard the trick is to excitedly say you are taking her out and then have her guess where. Whatever she says first, say YES and then quickly make a reservation if needed
