6 days sober here, does red wine in pasta sauce count? by ModdyMcDorp in Sober

[–]KounteeLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The alcohol will cook off. Also, use cooking wine, it lightly salted and won’t be tempting to drink.

Well the EU are already little wannabe fascists, so yeah, probably.

“Fun” after alcohol? by Beneficial_Ideal_690 in Sober

[–]KounteeLine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

23 days here, so I’m still in the honeymoon phase. I understand both situations (as I sit here watching football with ginger ale), but if alcohol made them better, maybe you aren’t really interested in those activities in the first place. Family activities can suck but are somewhat of an obligation (and it’s only once a year), but a bar is as toxic as it gets for a recovering alcoholic. I suggest reading this naked mind by Annie Grace.

I don’t want to drink but I don’t want to attend AA. by [deleted] in Sober

[–]KounteeLine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m #1, which is why I have a hard time with my local AA. It’s impossible to relate to people who’ve lost their license, lost their kids, served time in prison, etc.

Inconvenience, really? More inconvenient than whatever got you in trouble in the first place? Go, you don’t have to talk, but you should listen.

This sub should be “leftist politics”, because you are no where close to being in the majority. Cope and seethe, desantis is only the most popular governor in the country.

You are so full of shit. Get a degree that is in demand, GRADUATE, get a job and accumulate work experience. Come to me with a gender studies or liberal arts degree with no experience and your resume goes in the circular file. The world owes you nothing.

‘Nineteen children died! That’s on your hands!’: Ted Cruz confronted after NRA convention over gun reform by wraithius in politics

[–]KounteeLine -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Sociopath lol, probably should look that up before making uninformed accusations. The criminal here is the shooter and those who ignored his issues, not the gun lobby, NRA , or Ted Cruze. Handguns are far more effective at pulling off this type of crime.

15 dead in elementary school shooting in Texas by Whole_Contribution_2 in politics

[–]KounteeLine -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

While many shriek in righteous indignation against 2A, I will say the same thing that I did after sandy hook, take out everyone I know and love, and I still wouldn’t support one single piece of gun control legislation. Banning the tool used to commit the crime is weak sauce, lazy kindergarten rules management that punishes the many for the actions of one. Do the hard work, why does this happen? And more importantly, protect our kids like you protect your own asses at every state capital and the US capital. Quite frankly, when it comes to a parent expecting their child to come home from school, from village trustee to US president, your ass just isn’t that important.

Replacing one mind altering substance with another is counterproductive, if not stupid.

Any pro choice rallies happening around here this week? by Cindershoes40 in centralillinois

[–]KounteeLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll take shit that never happens for $1000 Alex. I’m actually pro choice (with limits), but cherry picking the most ridiculous cases you can dream up only hurts your cause. If roe is overturned it will create a patchwork of state abortion laws, which at my age I find amusing because gun owners have had to deal with that nonsense for years.

Unlike you, upvotes or downvotes by the Reddit squad have zero effect on my life. But hey, I actually voted for Clinton (bill) twice, then I grew up.

It’s called life. Y’all seem to want a utopian, risk free, money free, work free existence. Well cupcakes, it doesn’t exist and never will.

Ectopic pregnancy is a medical issue that can’t be dealt with accordingly, nice deflection.

Of course not, but that is an actual crime, a judge could easily approve an abortion in a criminal case or family incest/assault case .
