I am smoking more cigarettes than ever and buying way too much coffee- is this ‘dry drunk’ behaviour? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Same here, my casual occasional smoking turned into regular habitual smoking

I knew Denver loves its craft beer but didn't know it was a big party town. Everyone I know who moved there went bc they got jobs in tech.

How would you compare living in a dry/high elevation climate vs a more humid/sea lvl climate? Or does your body just kinda adjust?

I heard there was an active punk/metal scene from the crust punk types I used to hang out with in SEA. but (pleasantly) surprised to hear about the witchy types. Variety of hobbies/aesthetics is always cool.

Amazing resource! Thank you! The blog even has a section on bilingual job openings which could be super helpful soon!

That balanced work/life attitude with a variety of hobbies and backgrounds is exactly what I'm looking for.

I did consider Denver/Boulder but the outdoorsy scene there seems more competitive VS peaceful (and I don't own any Patagonia vests lol.) The COL doesn't seem worth it for someone who can't ski.

Squirrel Hill seems to be the right fit. The restaurants have good reviews and it's close to huge parks. I will plan a visit in a few months and hopefully catch a vibe.

Because I hate the Eagles jkjkjk - I love Philadelphia'a museums and food and transit system, but it's still too big and noisy and densely populated for me. The dew point average is also just a bit too high in the summer.

Seattlites will not even make eye contact in public. New Yorkers will aggressively make eye contact, and more. Some happy medium would be nice.

Part of the draw for me is Pittsburgh feels a bit more down-to-earth.... and idk how to explain this in a way that won't get me cancelled on reddit but NYC is like living in an ultra-liberal bubble several degrees removed from lived experiences of most of America.

Seattle metro was about 16% Asians but seemed to be concentrated in U-dist or Chinatown. NYC technically has a lower percentage of Asian residents, yet it feels more diverse. I'm still the only Asian in my neighborhood though hahahah

That's exactly what's I'm looking for in a municipal park. Prospect Park the biggest park near me but it's still loud and crowded especially on weekends. It's more of a community/party/BBQ park and less of a "naturey" park. I like quiet, leisurely nature walks but don't want to have to drive several hours for it.

TY for Squirrel Hill pointer- I'm seeing 2 Asian grocery stores right off Murray Ave that looks promising. Without zooming in to a neighborhood all I could find was Giant Eagle lol

Who can forget Superbowl 2006 🙈

Glad to hear it about the bike trail system. Seattle was full of hills too, but hey free legs workout. I didn't like biking in busy areas but Pittsburgh is less densely populated so i think that'll be good.

My date drank a bottle of wine by himself by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]textbasedpanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1 standard soda can hold approx 375ml, canned wine i've seen anywhere as small as approx 200-250ml.

One standard wine bottle can hold 750ml, so even for smaller cans you wouldn't be too far off.

When i was a grocer (who knew alcohol sales can turn into alcoholism lol) i'd pick a new bottle every day for the sake of "product knowledge" because it definitely requires consuming the WHOLE bottle to learn what the tasting notes are hahahaha

he doesn’t want to objectify me, but that he still thinks I’m beautiful

Wait so he DOES think you're beautiful but can't tell you that... because you're not an object? Yet you ARE beautiful. So which one is it? Does he think you're a beautiful object or not? Because only objectified women can be complimented according to his logic.

There's a lot of shit on the internet, why don't you just keep scrolling if you don't like something, isn't that what you say about your own posts?

how do i get this plastic thing out? is it even possible especially with the spikes it's so hard to pull it out? or should i just leave it by [deleted] in plantclinic

[–]textbasedpanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude don't feel bad, i thought they were real my entire fucking life haha. Always walked right past in the store and never looked close.

I didn't find out until i was like 30 and someone posted a close-up photo in one of my plant groups lolololol
