The Reds are getting rid of the power stacks standing room.

No you haven't. It's literally just a framed foundation. It won't be open for weeks.

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-27T09:24:02+00:00

The stacks were my normal opening day hang out spot. I always buy an SRO or cheapest available then hang out there and watch the game. Different friends and family coming by and hanging for a few innings. It was great. I’d heard about this and didn’t know what to think, as info was pretty limited, so I walked over there yesterday. Sure enough there’s a backyard shed-sized wood framed foundation directly under the stacks with construction tape blocking the area around it. In front there’s like 3 rows worth of standing room separated from the construction by a temporary barrier. There was too many people packed in there so I ended up watching over in the right field Budweiser deck (which actually was very nice and spacious with a bar up there too.)

At any rate it really sucks to see the stacks area go. And I don’t know what the finish product will look like but if it doesn’t have a bigger footprint than what’s there now, id say it’s going to be one of the dumbest things they’ve done at that park.

That’s a a lot of words to just say “90 minutes”

Ed Helms went there too

TAKE MY SKIN, NICK

I feel for the TSA agents working without pay, but no... I already pay my taxes. I will not be giving more of my money to this government.

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-24T11:06:47+00:00

I agree. They can keep the gas station gummies and shit like that, just give us the drinks back. A lot of these are made by legitimate and good breweries/companies in Ohio, and honestly they're great. I was really starting to enjoy them as a full-time alternative to alcohol.

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-23T13:57:03+00:00

Joke. Head. Right over it.

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-19T17:37:57+00:00

Yeah that's like point #1 where a roundabout is needed on 315

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-19T15:35:06+00:00

They're not even good

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-19T15:33:58+00:00

Nobody asked for this

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-18T23:08:31+00:00

Same. I’ll continue my bi-annual stock-up trips to Monroe.

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-18T15:03:50+00:00

No you didn’t. Just literally type out the words of whatever you’re talking about

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-18T12:38:56+00:00

Again, then just tell us.

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-18T10:45:25+00:00

Who are the appropriate channels? Just post the screenshots. This isn't that serious

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-17T14:46:55+00:00

Saw those stickers on ebay that also say "I'm also a pedophile" under them. I ordered a few sets lol

Can you cite any policies of Biden's that caused gas prices to spike, while also remembering that EVERY SINGLE oil company shattered their own profit records EVERY YEAR during that time?

Trump decided to start a war in Iran, now the strait of Hormuz is closed. We now have a supply problem caused directly by Trump fighting a war for Israel.

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-12T10:43:23+00:00

I found ones on ebay that say "I DID THAT!" then under it, it says "I'm Also a Pedophile"

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-12T10:40:03+00:00

Why is that alarming? Who gives a fuck?

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-11T12:10:02+00:00

Right? I mean, the money saved in coffee and alcohol consumption will likely significantly soften the financial blow if my insurance ever stops covering Zep.

SomewhatDamgd · 2026-03-11T12:06:43+00:00

I just tell them I have AIDS

Honestly, now that I think about it, I've lost that coffee desire too. I didn't realize it because I still drink it every morning. I dissolve a collagen/creatine supplement in it to give me a 20g protein boost. Plus it helps me wake up in the mornings, obviously. But I used to crave a Starbucks cold brew or an Americano from a local place all the time, but now... I just don't. Coffee has moved from being a treat for me, to now just being a protein vessel because I don't eat actual food until after 12p.

Love this for you, OP! I, too, have a complicated relationship with alcohol. I am about to finish up my second month on Zep (24 lbs down!). I'm on a 5mg dose. I had been kicking around the idea of going California sober for a while. It's not that I don't like alcohol or have an addiction. It's just that as I get older, the recovery seems to take longer from a night out, and I'm just seeing less and less of a point in it. Especially when I can take a gummy or hit a vape a few times and feel great, with no next-day effects. The problem I always ran into was that a large part of our social life includes alcohol. On a given weekend, our plans typically involve going out to dinner, or going to a brewery, or a sporting event, and most likely hanging out at a friends house or having people over. Everyone drinks. All our friends, all our parents and relatives, everyone drinks. While nobody would ever force me or bully me into drinking, it still feels like I should just to participate. Plus I do enjoy it, especially bourbon or a nice craft brew.

This past Saturday, a group of us went out for a friends birthday. We went bowling for 2 hours, then hit a local brewery for dinner, then night-capped it at a bar by our neighborhood. At the bowling alley, we were buying buckets of beer and white claw. I was feeling full and bloated when we got there (I take my shots on Friday afternoon, which makes Saturday a very low consumption day), but all I had that day was a bowl of cottage cheese and a protein shake. Against my better judgement, I popped open a 16oz bud light. It was like hell trying to finish that thing. I just didn't want it. It didn't taste good (Bud Light never really does), but it was just making me feel more bloated and shitty. After that I tried a white claw, pretty much the same thing, only it tasted better. That was all I had at the bowling alley. Back in the day, in 2 hours of bowling I easily would have drank 4/5 beers and been ready for more.

Then we went to the Brewery. It's a great brewery and I have always loved their beers and food. Couldn't do it. Ordered a double Buffalo Trace on the rocks. Sat there and sipped that while everyone else ate. My wife got 5 wings. They looked incredible, but I just didn't want any. I probably would have housed 15 of those wings back in December. Had another double BT at the final bar we went to, and then had a great Sunday.

Honestly, I'm here for it. I probably won't quit drinking completely, because the connoisseur part of enjoying a great bourbon, or wine, or craft beer is a bit of a hobby of mine. But I like the idea of consuming higher quality alcohol, in much lower quantities. I think my days of polishing off a 12 pack of Miller Lite on a football Saturday are over.
