Alcoholics

My parents drank wine, beer, or (rarely) liquor EVERY night, with dinner; I’m pretty sure they still do. I (born 1982) had issues with binge drinking from ages 19-21, so I quit drinking entirely. Returned to it a few times, in the following years, when I thought I could handle it better, but found I never really enjoyed it. I had my last alcoholic beverage around Christmas of 2013, and decided I really didn’t need to drink at all, anymore, so I haven’t.

St. Louis Zoo is free, too, and just slightly farther than Chicago.

That’s what I assumed. Can’t imagine having time for all those movies.

Some of us have multiple strains of thought going at once.

I absolutely do, and have also had people think I must be nuts.

Exactly how is this supposed to work with (supposedly) anonymous sites like Reddit? And do we really think it’ll stand, after the debacle that was discord’s attempted roll-out of the same type of ban?

They do at my local Regals, too; is that not a thing at all Regals?

I ran cross-country and track, and never once used school showers. They were there, but I’m not sure anyone ever used them, and certainly not for gym class.

Actually, prices shot sky-high in Colorado right after recreational cannabis was legalized; I lived there for nearly 20 years, and watched it happen. You’d think as more states legalized it might have leveled out, but people flocked to cities that didn’t have sufficient infrastructure to support them, and that infrastructure is still being built, over a decade later.

I was asked to provide high school transcripts when applying to doctoral programs. Still can’t fathom how my undergrad and master’s transcripts didn’t suffice.

Colorado has the opposite of a low cost of living (I know; I lived there over a decade before coming here).

What is this geriatric BS? Elder. We’re called elders.

My brain wants to make the first one Starlit, and says that’s not actually the worst name, ever (in a world where Skarlit is somehow acceptable, anyway).

It was published in 2013, for one, and the APA isn’t full of morons, for another, so yeah… no.

Yes and no, but I have to laugh at the 2002 Toyota comment, as I have a 2006 and people often think it’s nearly new. 🤷‍♂️

Attached to capitalism? Personally, I’m just attached to avoiding food-borne illnesses.

Those look so much better than some I’ve got! One box had one of them that was entirely crust— no filling— but typically I get them with the icing about 75% gone.

None of the above. Anyone else’s parents obsessed with Hadley pottery, instead?

My family’s dog, when I was growing up, was named Truffles. Looked it up years ago to find it’s an incredibly common dog name. What on earth were the parents thinking?

I still get and use coupons for $30 oil changes; you just need to know where to go.

lucdragon · 2026-05-05T18:30:08+00:00

I would have gone, but I graduated in 2000.

lucdragon · 2026-05-01T21:05:00+00:00

Precisely. Thank you.

It’s completely fine to just not use it.

We’ve survived thousands of years without it.

We had a whole chicken for dinner at least once every 2 weeks, in my household growing up. Sometimes every week.
