Las Vegas doesn't give a fuck how drunk you are to enter the airport. Literally had to guide and push my drunk coworker through TSA. I'm not sure if he even remembers getting on the plane.

That was my thought too

Addict/alcoholic 11 years sober. I got sober at a rehab and stayed sober through Alcoholics Anonymous. First, there's a difference between chemical dependence and addiction. Often these things go hand in hand. Chemical dependence means your body will go through withdrawals if you stop taking in the substance. Something like weed has no chemical dependence aspect, but you can still be addicted to it. Heroin and alcohol can have heavy chemical dependence, and you can be addicted to those.

What AA teaches is not that alcohol is bad. Alcohol is a solution to the problem, but the solution no longer works. The base problem is I wanted to change the way I feel. AA creates a new way to change the way you feel in a healthy way.

If you look at it from that aspect, what you're replacing is how you change how you feel. Personally, between ADHD and addiction, I very much display addictive behaviors to other things. Whether that's hyperfixation or addiction, I'm not sure.

What I do know, is that I have no moderation to mind and mood altering substances. If they came out with a miracle pill and said, take one and your addiction will be gone forever, I'd ask for 2.

I mean we have all of the codes to their ordinance since we sold it to them

Edit: we = the USA. I don't agree with it, but the USA sells weapons to everyone. The US has its fingers in every pie.

I live in Texas and plan on getting a vasectomy as soon as I have the money.

Fun fact, I work at a building that used to be a Hormel bacon slicing factory. They were the previous owners and we had to demo a bunch of their equipment.

As an alcoholic, I tend to go to the LGBT AA meetings because they're the most welcoming and just an all around great group of people.

I love the way he exits each shot. He doesn't leave the room, sweeps out of it.

Just another excuse to raise prices

Isn't Italian engineering an oxymoron?

I wish I could be as handsome when I make my awkward ass smile.

Well good thing I slept through it.

Eat the rich

I can see this being accurate. I've seen it where cars are jammed up before the road narrows and free flowing by the time the road actually narrows. The largest road block (pun intended) to this that I see is driver competency, and people letting them in.

I do machine repair in the evening shift. If nothing is broken, I generally don't have much to do. They don't bitch too hard because they know if shit goes down, I'll work 16 hrs on a Saturday to get it working. I have access to a metal mill and lathe and spend a lot of down time learning and creating personal projects on it. Hell, I built a wooden bedframe and no one said a thing.

Literally met my wife on Tinder lol

I know there's a tiktok named "donesandbums" or something like that. They just use a drone and film homeless people.

They say that the super book smart are a little out of touch with reality. My uncle and dad worked for NASA. They had a coworker that clipped their toenails, kept them, and munched on them like a snack. Someone also dumped in the stairwell.

Well my 250lbs upstairs neighbor makes the ceiling creak and groan, but the jackhammering they did to fix the slab on the apartment behind mine rattled my bed.
