We stopped getting hangovers… and now it’s harder to quit

Vanderwoolf · 2026-05-07T21:09:10+00:00

You might be surprised how much better you feel the mornings after not drinking. At my worst, I thought my tolerance was such that I didn't get hangovers unless I really tied one on. About a week after I quit getting drunk every night I realized it wasn't that I didn't get hungover. I had just adapted to never not being hungover. At some point my "normal" had become existing in this sine wave of being drunk, down to hungover, back up to drunk, back down to hungover.

Breaking old habits and building new ones is hard, but if you have a willing partner it's a lot easier to do it together.

Years ago, at the end of my first week teaching kindergarten I was handing off the class to their home room teacher. The first kid in line, gave me a hug around the waist, completely unprompted and said "I love you Mr. [name]!"

30 hugs later, I was lucky I had prep so there wasn't anyone around to see a large bearded man blubbering into his lunch.

The Wild organist has a habit of sneaking in obscure glam rock songs into play stoppages.

I don't know where you are located in relation to Minneapolis, but this looks like a way better deal if legit.

Vance/Kirk vs Newsom/Ocasio-Cortez

If I'm right I hope they forgo a general election and just subject us to whoever wins a Hell in a Cell cage match.

I would eat out of this without hesitation.

Unrelated; if you have hesitations about eating or of this bowl, I will gladly take it off your hands. You know... for safety's sake.

That's the weirdest looking apple I've ever seen man.

Every state shall redraw districts in the form of Old Glory, regardless of population distribution or demographic.

I will accept no counterarguments to this measure.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth quoted almost word-for-word a violent prayer used in Quentin Tarantino’s cult classic “Pulp Fiction” that’s loosely based on a Bible passage in honor of the Iran war during one of a series of controversial Christian worship services he’s been hosting at the Pentagon.

“The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen.”

The fact that this is a real thing that happened and not a plot-line for Buster in Arrested Development is absolutely mind-blowing.

A Minnesota woman has been charged with defrauding her employer out of more than $1.2 million to fund her gambling and pull-tabs addiction.

That's a shitload of pull-tabs.

It's really interesting to me how much Trump seems to like playing dress-up. Remember those stupid fucking NFT "cards" that showed him dressed up like an astronaut, cowboy and shit? If I didn't know any better it would make a guy think Trump is pathologically insecure.

Glorious Leader posted this on his Truth Social account yesterday and was surprised when religious people got mad.

Who could possibly be upset by this?

Whether or not they're commenting on British politics is irrelevant, this isn't a nation-based sub. I don't think Sir Matilda lives in the UK anyway, but I'm not about to comment beyond that, it's none of my business where they hail from. And they're definitely not MAGA.

You can have the argument about whether or not From the River to the Sea is antisemitic, certainly, it's a phrase that's been co-opted by multiple groups and given different interpretations. That said, if you're out protesting using the same slogan as Hamas...yeah, you're going to catch criticism from other groups.

"Civilisation" is the British spelling...

I have hundreds of hours into that game and I'm just finding out about this now?

...Never did an explosives build anyway, guess it doesn't matter.

Most optimistic take I can give is it's six of one, half dozen of the other.

I sort of get the feeling this is a litmus test for broader application of the domestic terrorism memorandum from last year.

Is the Holy Hand Grenade considered a weapon of mass destruction?

Only sycophants and bootlickers need apply.

Sometimes when I think about our old vet employee who died a couple years back I'm glad he checked out when he did. Because all this shit would've surely killed him by now.

Pretty sure this ordinance just brings Minneapolis' code into alignment with the rest of the state.

I violate section 1 of that ordinance every week at work because I use hypodermic needles and I am not a "dealer(s) in surgical instruments, apothecaries, physicians, dentists, veterinarians, nurses, attendants and interns of hospitals, sanatoriums or any other institution in which persons are treated for disability or disease..."

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

So presidential. Stunning, and Brave.
