You know there’s more of them, right?
I definitely take better care of myself because I have to now. In my 20s, I could have dominos and two beers without issue, now I’ll wake up incredibly dehydrated and bloated (I chose dominos because of the salt, not the taste). I do also have body pains, but I did sports pretty intensely before the pandemic, so I think those are mostly injuries. I tend to need more recovery time, for example, I’ve been vomiting all summer from the heat, but otherwise I hadn’t vomited sober since my early twenties. I need two full days not to feel shitty and weak afterwards, which is definitely a development.
I don’t know if I should be proud or ashamed, but I’ve pulled my neck coming two or three times. It definitely makes me feel a way though
As an American emigrant: the red cups are real, but not limited to house parties; alcohol is a lot less accessible, so the party would be more likely to have four different kinds of liqueur from peoples parents or three handles of paint cleaner; getting the cops called on an underage party is serious. Like, potentially lose your job and home serious, even if you were gone for the weekend.
That’s exactly what I expected Texas cops to think about while out to dinner.

You have no idea what they’re experiencing at the moment though. Maybe they’ve just been served divorce papers or pulled the plug on their mother. Or maybe they were just sold to/hit on by someone with the exact same approach. People live in too high a density in most places to expect patience from strangers, because it will be taken advantage of and used up.
But horseflies are easy to see, trap, and/or swat. Plus, that ratio might be right, 10:1, but I think my actual historical ratio is more like 400:1, and I’d definitely rather one horsefly bite than 400 mosquito bites
Yes, but if “things” is replaced by scamming artists, that’s a shitty society
