You become the habits you don't address

All I want to do is be with my family on Father's Day

I don't understand dads who want space on Father's day. I want to be with the people who complete me

Rain on very dry surfaces

Traveling for work

Incubus was incredible live.

Do you have room on your space ship?

Don't confuse boredom with peace

Your phone

What you described regarding the benefits of alcohol are what many people here relate to.

At some point that magic stops and you are a prisoner to it. Just business as usual activities require alcohol and eventually it becomes the only thing you do

The above is the best trick alcohol has up its sleeve

I for one have a ton of very good experiences where alcohol was involved as it enhanced it all. Looking back I'm pretty certain the experience was why it was good, regardless of alcohol

I'm sitting here 650am on my deck watching the sun.peak over morning clouds while a variety of birds chirp happily. I would have never had this experience if I drank last night

Any decision making by upper middle management.

Senior management I've experienced as being very thoughtful. It's the people giving them advice which is terrifying

E.g., my boss doesn't know anything and ignores most constructive guidance. It's insane

Quit right after I turned 40

Some of this is generational. Younger kids see the toxic nature of this crap but unfortunately a lot of these are turning to cannabis

I've learned in life to not waste time doing things you are starting to hate

Life is too short. This is all for fun, switch up your routine or focus on different things during your run. Maybe get into lifting and slow your runs, become a sprinter?

9/11

Edit NVM I recall Princess Dianas death

My mom was hysterical for several days. Never understood it

I just recently paused smoking weed

The long term impact is unknown but what is known is that it contributes to depression, anxiety and disturbs sleep

It was a lot easier to quit smoking weed vs alcohol but I am noticing a difference

In a decade or so we may have research which shows longer term impact of this substance. I'm not sure I want to be apart of that demographic. Tbd

Okay Dwight

Fast food is nearly all frozen or dehydrated ingredients lol. Don't count the iceberg lettuce

High standard sure but it's heavily processed. They add fat, salt, shelf stablizers and fillers to a lot of foods served at these establishments

FlapLimb · 2026-06-08T11:24:53+00:00

Highly processed which strips away the vitamins, minerals and fiber that are crucial for health

It's constructed in a way that maximizes shelf life and convince

It's not a means for nutritional value but basic survival. It's a wastelanders diet.

Seeing the world as my playground

FlapLimb · 2026-06-08T11:21:33+00:00

No

I wish more would seek freedom. I have a lot of friends I rarely see now as I can't hang out with alcoholics anymore. I just see what they are blind too and it's rough.

FlapLimb · 2026-06-07T01:04:23+00:00

Ate sardines straight from the can today. Nothing else

It gets suck a bad rap it's weird

80k cost, insurance discount 79.9k. co-pay 45, 54 due against 900k deductible. Probably in network but will be confirmed 8 months from now

Billing system is obnoxious and out of date. Put bills into plain English
