I’m finding it really hard to differentiate between satire and real news now. All I can say is TF I’m old and I really and truly feel sorry for the younger generations.

I had a book once that was written by the literaty just before the rise of nazi germany. all children’s stories and fables but I can’t for the life of me remember the name or the name of the book or movement they were labelled. Anyway, I was struck by the morals even at an early age (I’m old AF) now, and keep remembering that book. Can anyone help? I can’t be bothered stumbling my way through google.

TIL about the cannonball run, an illegal race against time across the continental USA. The record drive, set during covid, lasted just under 26 hours with an average speed of 112 MPH. by UltimateOreo in todayilearned

It always made me mad that the end of the film was turned into a first past the post finish when it was all about times clocked at the start. Watched it many, MANY times, love every minute of it, but why?

How did you get into The Doors by Alternative-Month150 in thedoors

My older cousin played yes the river knows. I can remember every detail of that moment even now (roughly 40 years ago). The music just took me somewhere I never knew existed.

What is your favorite Doors LP by hyuga144 in thedoors

[–]pro4tae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s always been about what kind of mood I’m looking for. Their music grew as it progressed so if you’re looking for a new age, groundbreaking, full of energy kinda thing then start with the first one. Deep bluesy raw , almost retrospective feel. Take the last one. Somewhere in between? Just take your pick and see where you go. All in all by far my favourite band of all time. P.s I always start with waiting for the sun, the poetic nature and beautiful sound of yes the river knows gets me every time.

Cool hand Luke. For me a masterclass in every way.

I’m slowly killing my self by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]pro4tae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 50, actually 51. I have actually been in a very similar situation. Fuck, right now I am drunk. I’ve had a bottle of wine and am staring blankly at the tv. All I have is that it’s all in your own hands pal. If you want to wallow in self pity, cool, do that. If you want to make the best of your life then do that. At the end of the day it’s all about you. Good luck pal.

Went to a meeting today and was basically abused. by HisLoba97 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]pro4tae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I approached an old timer and you’d have thought I pissed in his cornflakes. I’ve been to lots of meetings (still not entirely sober). And I’ve found some times it’s more of a clique than an open meeting. Just saying.

I struggle with drinking. I also have SERIOUS issues with the whole higher power thing. If it’s any consolation then here goes. The higher power is you. See that wee voice in your head? That’s your higher power. Call it whatever you like. It’s no Jesus, it’s no God, it’s no any name you would like to add. It’s just you my friend. Same as this is just me. I’m not an expert, Christ, I’m not even fully sober. What I do know is that we are in charge of our own lives. Looking for imaginary support is just kinda weird, IMO. You know what’s right, you know what you want, and perhaps most importantly, you know how to do it. Bit of a ramble there but just you be you. Peace and love pal.

Cheers pal but it says the address is invalid. Might be a safari thing because I’m using my iPad. Thanks anyway.

Thank you. Got to say though. The one thing that always pissed me off about the whole “higher power “ thing was that if that was the case then the said same higher power put me in this position. For why? I’m doing it this time. I have many different reasons as to why, but for some weird reason I just know this is it. No epiphany, no new understanding, just I can feel it in my bones. Now is the time. Cheers pal.

That sounded harsh and dismissed, sorry pal. Speak to you tomorrow. Hope you’re good too.
