- I used too, no alcohol for 11 months right now.fooler
- I drink a lot. I feel ambivalent about this, likely due to excess alcohol.sausages
- Maybe once or twice a year I am having a beer. In the evenings I do a teaspoon of sativa infused olive oil though. I also feel fine about this.d_gitale

And, beers or wine with friends during weekend, but, less and less. I can be high with nothinOBBTKN - I drink wine with company and/or dinner at least once a week. Once a month again if I get invited to some event.monospaced
- Beer and whiskey at bbqs in the warmer months. But never just to pass time at home or alone.monospaced

capitalism
it's going to be hilarious when the American christian conservative bible thumping republicans get into heaven and see it's a Marxist utopia.
:)Oh and that Jesus is a poor brown hippie.
- Sounds like hell.hotroddy
- Yeah heaven would be slaving for rich cunts like you did on earth. You think jeebus offers free healthcare or do insurance bros have a racket up there too?_niko
- I heard oil is so cheap that Canadians are self-euthonizing to get in for the cheap cost of living.hotroddy
- Not as cheap as it’s going to be in Venezuela, practically zero as long as you change your flag to the Stars and Stripes and learn to whistle Yankee Doodle!_niko
- I know it's tough for a canadian to understand but Venezuelan identity isn’t shaped by an insecurity about being overshadowed by the UShotroddy
- No you don’t worry about being overshadowed by the US they literally just swallowed you up and you couldn’t be happier!_niko
- read the room. Venezuela is rejoicing. Despite the resentment, USA still has your back so that no one swallows you up.hotroddy
- I think I’m reading the room right, let’s see, you’re in the corner enthusiastically jerking off while America sodomizes your wife; but hey whatever you’re into_niko
- ...I won’t judge! :)_niko
- Only someone morally hollow would turn the largest mass displacement on Earth into a juvenile sodomy joke.hotroddy
- For the love of Allah...
Just nuke that shit-hole country already.utopian - keep importing them dipshit so that your country can join it.hotroddy
- 'morally hollow', says the gusano who made a Pinochet joke.face_melter
- that's no joke. for the sake of your country pinochet should knock on your door too.hotroddy
- the fact that you use the Cuban word 'gusano' means you should be pinocheted immediately.hotroddy
- Talking about the afterlife in any serious way is pure comedy.monospaced
- Word of the day is gusano, just perfect_niko

I’m waiting for Hotroddy’s Hottake on all of this
- Gets popcorn.palimpsest
- Maybe I'm old, but conservative lolcow bad takes just don't do it for me anymore.garbage
- If the Democratic Party gains control in Venezuela, Cuba could be next—cementing Trump’s legacy as the most consequential president in U.S. history.hotroddy
- Venezuelans will move back home. Garbage, meanwhile, can keep the gang bangers Biden allowed in, the very ones he opposes extraditing.hotroddy
- Acting like trumps ultimate legacy will be connected to, let alone cemented by, what happens there is ... stupid af.monospaced
- How you are focused on immigrants in the face of the butt fucking he’s giving our own country, to your detriment, is ignorant af.monospaced
- Garbage’s hot take on South American politics: “Don’t vote for Milei—he’ll destroy Argentina over gay and trans rights and turn it into a fourth-world country."hotroddy
- mono,maybe it's time for Putin (your lover) to release those pee pee tapes you believe are real. Don't you think?hotroddy
- Chamo delivers!palimpsest
- I only skimmed the last bit, and apparently he's defending Milei? Predictable yawn in my feed.garbage
- "Pinochet did nothing wrong"palimpsest
- Inflation crushed the middle class, but your takeaway is identity-politics drivel about gay rightshotroddy
- https://i.haasie.com…hotroddy
- Two years after your retarded pearl-clutching take, gays are still a thing, and inflation fell and GDP grew.hotroddy
- And look at Chile now Pali. It has the best quality of life in South America.hotroddy
- because it rid Chile of all the Monos and Garbages.hotroddy
- "Chile has the best quality of life in South America"
Like I said: Pinochet did nuthin' wrong.palimpsest - Notice that it takes absolutely nothing to become a lefty boogyman to this guy. A joke from years ago has occupied his mind. Rent's too low.garbage
- Nobody likes Putin as much as Trump. They like butt fucking Trump supporters like you the most.monospaced
- And your comeback in no way makes your take on his legacy any lesss small minded and ignorantly retarded.monospaced
- Trumps legacy 100% will include his praise of Putin, how much they collaborated, and how Trump supporters loved him for it.monospaced

I know the following has the potential for a full season of Black Mirror scenarios.
*shrugs* Oh well, so anyway:
I am experimenting with using Gemini as a personal life coach. I know tons of people do, but I have resisted doing it, but decided to give it a shot after experiencing how helpful the model has become otherwise.
The initial prompt was something like:
"You are the world's most talented life coach, who uses contemporary evidence-based methods in your practice. Your tone is friendly and humoristic, but you avoid sycophancy and flattery. You point out potential flaws in my thinking. You do your best to keep me from misleading myself, and firmly point out when you believe this is the case, asking me to explain myself. You will now ask me questions until you feel you have enough data to begin coaching me."
So far the results has been (and i hate hyperbole, but) pretty amazing. Actual tangible, positive, productive results in my work and personal life. We end up very much with the same results as I arrive at in my actual (human) therapy sessions.
I feel like such a basic bitch for doing this. But yeah. So far I'm extremely impressed.
Oh, hang on, Google just called - they have created my replacement clone ready. Gotta go.
- You're not a basic bitch for leveraging AI for free advice. A basic bitch thinks they have everything solved...canoe
- I feel better about it already :)jagara
- Basic bitch thing is because some people get emotionally attached to their chat bot, and prefer them over actual people. I think I know better than that.jagara
- Good thing is that you KNOW everything it says to you is the BEST advice possible out there.monospaced
- And knowing that it thinks about you and cares is so reassuring. Wait a sec ...monospaced
- But really it’s nice to see that all the personal life coach info is all out there for anyone to have on demand. That career always made me laugh.monospaced
- I've worked with human life coaches. Some of them have helped me immensely. I'm pretty sure it's not an easy task (to do well).jagara
- It will always be some kind of practical and therapeutic mix. A tricky balance. Why does that make you laugh?jagara
- My life coach friends make me laugh in how dead seriously they take their job, like they went to medical school for a decade or something.monospaced
- And the stuff they post to promote their work. It’s pretty funny to me, and sometimes feels like they’re preying on weak or gullible people. Not a slight on youmonospaced

- I suppose they hadn't thought of the indoor fireworks scenario. It looks like foam soundproofing on the ceiling too.
Pretty grimPhanLo - god awfulutopian
- 2nd time I can recall indoor pyrotechnics causing mass deaths :( so sad and avoidable_niko
- Them pulling out smartphones filming everything first than just getting the fuck out asap didn't helpNBQ00
- Filming instead of helping people is crazy, stupid people holding smart devices.ApeRobot
- Can't we learn the gripe of the world on our own time... not on QBN?canoe
- How about they were filming the flares and the party, not the fire maybe? Blaming dead young people makes me sick.Longcopylover
