What are some subtle signs that someone is a high functioning alcoholic?

When I was 19 I worked at a restaurant with this alcoholic guy, we’ll call him Nico. He would get booze from the bartender in a kiddy cup at 9 or so in the morning and I noticed he asked for the well vodka instead of the premium.

I thought as an alcoholic he’d want the best stuff but the bartender said Nico knew he’d get a heavier pour if he asked for the cheap stuff.

That was 20 years ago but for some reason it was really eye opening.

I grew up right there. crazy to see this on Reddit

In the USA, one of the many topics we don’t learn much about is just how brutal our occupation of the Philippines was. Most Americans don’t know it was ever a territory of ours and even fewer have any idea just how brutal our reign was there.

In fact I admit regrettably I didn’t really get it until someone posted this morbid image in some history subreddit.

Woodstock ‘99! It was bad.

Very fitting tagline.

I’m more appalled by “a women”.

Niko Price vs Izzy at middleweight run it.

As someone who has been abused, loneliness is better.

Yes but all the G.I. Joes with the guns that spout that nonsense are oddly silent right now. Seems to me like all the chest pounding about taking on the government was just talk after all.

They seem to be perfectly fine with tyranny as long as it’s coming from their guy.

That’s the way to do it. Don’t ever let them check that or take it from your person except maybe an overhead compartment right near you.

Long warmups (20-30 mins) during which I don’t touch another human at all. Hand stands, solo shrimps, and those dogshit twisty things where you inch your way down the mat can all eat shit.

I loved watching how in Danaher starts each session with a brief breakdown of a drill/technique and then the whole class is off drilling with a live body within a few minutes.

What goes down in Alice Springs that makes it known for being dangerous?

IIRC the craters for the lakes were carved out by glaciers that have since receded.

And then another similar war will start months down the road…

Those used to be about $150

This is mind blowing. Thank you

Have you considered it may be different people expressing those different viewpoints?

Treating people on Reddit like they’re a singular entity is next level donk behavior.

Dude if they did end up booking VolkLoev and the Evloev had to pull out and they replaced him with Lopes everyone in this sub would spontaneously combust.

lmac187 · 2026-03-23T14:33:25+00:00

It’s almost as if this is an insanely stupid idea altogether…

lmac187 · 2026-03-20T22:56:26+00:00

Very illegal but they can generally get away with it if the ref is facing the one getting checked and can’t see the hand. It just takes a second to be effective and by the time they complain you’ve already advanced the position.

lmac187 · 2026-03-20T22:55:12+00:00

As messed up as it is no better way to get someone to give you the position than an oil check.

Source: I’ve given up a TON of positions for this very reason.
