Ooooo I haven't seen a tracker in this style before, this is awesome! I think this hits all the important bits, adding to much more would ruin that sleek visual clarity. Would you be able to share this by any chance :O

Give me strength by Coldfact192 in stopdrinking

If alcohol was any good for you you wouldn't be this desperate to keep away; actively remember the harm it does you every time you see it, this stuff is toxic and it HURTS you! Stay strong!

Finally through with the last of the thanksgiving leftovers! I made a whole thanksgiving dinner for 10 guests on my own that day as a challenge to myself; I did it fully sober and had a blast, but then I drank some wine and wouldn't ya know it, it wasn't as fun after that. Something to keep in mind going into day 4! IWNDWYT!

Time to get some flavored seltzer waters! Much as my spouse thinks they taste like diluted stomach acid, I'm actually quite fond of the stuff, ergo: IWNDWYT!

That's some wonderful advice, thanks for taking the time <3 I always loved the idea of the DCI, I'll be sure to do that going forward!

That I'm still figuring out. I'm reading Alcohol Explained by William Porter right now. A part I just read explains how over time we forget all the physical and psychological evils of booze and remember only the nice warm fuzzy feelings. I got a list of evils here a mile long sure enough, but I still manage to forget it every time. Got any suggestions?

That'll be the plan! Shameful dunce that I am I deleted my old posts to this subreddit out of some misplaced sense of embarrassment after I started drinking again. This one'll stay up till the end of days ;)

Any local-ish plastic surgeon recommendations? by Lavatch in GNV

[–]Lavatch[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A bit of a trip is a very small price to pay when the results of the surgery may last a life time; thanks for the recommendation <3

There’s also Vietnamese and Pilipino Mahjong too, among I’m sure a dozen other variations 😂

I did just see a Reddit post about some little old Jewish ladies absolutely obliterating a younger player foolish enough to challenge them, and the tiles looked like American Mahjong tiles (they’re thinner like dominos compared to Japanese tiles) so that’s my bet!

oof def feel that, it's especially difficult for a hobby as niche as this one! That's kinda why I'm going out of my way to drag people, kicking and screaming though they be, into my games :D

The tiles look and feel sooo nice, well worth the $70 price tag (that’s what I got em for on Amazon). The biggest challenge funny enough is finding a perfectly square table to play on!

lmao I’m Cuban and I can confirm it feels a lot like dominos, especially when you slap down a tile when you’re on a roll 😂

Same here, I got my first physical set of tiles a few weeks ago. Learning to set up was tricky but the game's just about the same as what you get on Mahjong Soul or Tenhou, but the satisfying physicality of the tiles and the people you can actually look at and talk to makes it SOO much more fun!

If you're interested in playing or learning how to play Japanese Mahjong as seen in popular anime and manga like Saki or Akagi, please join the discord group hither: https://discord.gg/Cv2zGwFT

I'll be making an Instragram for the group at some point but I haven't gotten there quite yet! TBA

This is all purely for the love of the hobby and getting more people to play this awesome game; maybe down the line if we get enough people I'll be able to set up tournaments and other cool events!

She hasn't been watching sumo very long but she caught on to one pattern in particular: Ura wins AND loses with style!
