  All great options. I’ll throw in two here. Cocaine and Able by Amigo the Devil and Broken Window Serenade by Whiskey Myers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should you look for a relationship if it feels like a compromise?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is exhausting. I’ve been in a relationship where my partner had no one but me. I don’t consider myself super outgoing but I have plenty of friends that I enjoy spending time with. I like playing music on the weekends. I like going to do things, sometimes last minute. I got fat and depressed because she just wanted to sit at home and for me to sit home with her.

  It soured me on relationships for a bit. The next one was the opposite. She wanted to be out every night and didn’t understand I had to work. She never ever wanted to just hang at the house. It was also exhausting.

  I’m open to a relationship if the person has similar patterns or doesn’t want me next to them 24/7. I can handle if they’re an independent person, but currently everything feels like either far too much or far too little so I’ve been doing my own thing for a while. I’ve got someone that I’m casual with. It’s perfect for now.

  Next quarter? Who gives a shit! This quarter is all there is!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨advertisement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Years of drinking destroyed mine, and it’s all my fault. I would also try it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well that didn't work out as planned⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this another US thing where employers require you to purchase the vehicle before you can work for them?

  Not bus drivers, but some truckers are owner/operators.

  Oh shit, I read it wrong! I stand by it though. They were all Lyle’s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Refreshing to occasionally see an honestly written obituary⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They weren’t Dennis’ children. They were Lyle’s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PARTY TIME⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  White trash me: what’s the issue?

  Same, buddy. We used to do this, except it was three quarters lemonade and a quarter whatever cheap liquor everyone brought. So you’d have whiskey, both light and dark rum, vodka (lots of vodka) tequila, gin if one specific guy showed up… Pretty much anything cheap.

  Trash cans are not safe to drink out of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon shares a family moment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it had been a joke the father could have said something like “Time flies when you’re a fairy”.

  I know that wasn’t your point, but your first line made me realize that. It’s still fucked up, but if you have a good relationship and know what the person is ok with that could absolutely be mistaken for a bad joke. Instead he just said something idiotic.

  I don’t participate (feels kind of gross), but I’ve seen people joke with each other using slurs about the other. But I’m not the language police I’m not going to tell people what they can and can’t say. But this wasn’t even something that could accidentally be mistaken as a joke. This was just someone looking for a way to respond with a slur.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨About Star Trek Starfleet Academy blacklash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, no, this time Star Trek will be woke. I can tell by the trailer. It’s never been woke before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political Views⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s how I stay young. I’ve been 29 for years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alexa, how do I remove cooties?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That was the Death Caps. They’re a bit more survivable than Destroying Angel, but I wouldn’t want to eat either of them.

  Stop giving out my secrets, L. Ron.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alexa, how do I remove cooties?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love reading about Death Cap mushrooms and their cousin, Destroying Angel. By the time symptoms appear, you’ve already got irreversible damage. Specifically for Destroying Angel, as of 2016 there was about a 50 percent survival rate, but by 2023 that number had jumped to 85-90%. There’s no antidote. Mostly treatment is to hydrate the absolute fuck out of you so that you’re peeing out the toxin and pumping you full of electrolytes. The key to survival is detecting it as soon as possible.

  Full of whiskey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American ambassador to Italy refuses to live in the official US residence in Rome. Instead, he stays on his super yacht moored 60 miles from the capital⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had no idea what that was so I had to look. Unfortunately I’ve never been on the toy collectable train. I have a couple of those vinyl bobblehead things (their name escapes me) that were given to me and a couple of tabletop minis I painted but that’s the closest I ever came.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, how long did it take the cops to get there? Because .42 is crazy fucking high. It can absolutely kill you it’s so high. She would have had to have more than 10 drinks in an hour for that. That’s about two thirds of a fifth between the time it was called in and when the cops got there.

  I’m not saying it’s not doable. I’m saying if she did that she was trying to die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American ambassador to Italy refuses to live in the official US residence in Rome. Instead, he stays on his super yacht moored 60 miles from the capital⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get it. I really do. And I hate it because I like cowboy hats. They’re comfy and offer nice sun protection. The smaller brimmed ones look pretty good with most of the things I wear. It’s just that 90% of the people wearing one are scumbags. Worse, the biggest scumbags that wear them always look fucking stupid in them because they have no idea how to shape them for their face.

  It’s a good rule of thumb. They ruined my punisher T-shirts. They ruined my cowboy hats. They ruined Norse runes. Next they’ll ruin my rainbow bracelets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easy mistake to make⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that a thing now? I don’t keep up. I’m ready to cut it clean again. Not because of any coded thing, but because it’s hot as fuck. But I have to keep it a few more days, then I need to find the time to get it cut.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She's a keeper⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it was very serious. Big red flag. He should hit a lawyer, delete a gym, and social media up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easy mistake to make⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  However it was calibrated before I can promise it’s even worse now. I’m a straight dude. I’m a dudely dude. I dress like an extra on My Name is Earl. Other than crocheting and sewing my hobbies are all very “guy” hobbies. I’m currently sporting the worst mullet you’ve ever seen (it was a bet, ok?).

  However, I get told with alarming regularity “I thought you were gay”. I think it’s because I’m friendly without trying to get in anyone’s pants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨well?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  YOU can’t move freely in time. Don’t speak for me.

  Ok, I can’t either. But still…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a war out there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Survivorship bias.

  He went to Greece for the flood.

  They watched Point Break one too many times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bisexual Flowers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Pepper plants as well. I just give mine a good shake unless I’m crossing specific varieties in a Windows environment looking for specific outcomes.

  If I’ve got a cool cross I’ll put it under grow lights in the garage and pollinate it by using a cotton swab. If everything works out in a few generations I have a neat new breed by self pollinating a cross breed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We'd like to welcome our newest Student to Hogwarts, Hun-Gary Mc'Spud.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cletus Luxlunae. He’d specialize in spirits. And he’d hate TERFs because they ain’t minding their own fucking business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmm who could it possibly be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And a lot of recruiting companies are afraid you’ll bypass them and go apply directly, thus cutting out the middle man and they’re not allowed to send out goons to break your kneecaps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmm who could it possibly be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s no fucking joke. I started with a passion for learning about computers. I love what I do now because I’m a one man company and answer only to myself and my contracts, but I didn’t turn on a computer outside of work for fucking years because of the burnout.
