It's a skill that you're building. Just like everything else, it takes time. The worst part of learning anything as an adult is you are actually aware of how bad you are at something compared to the greats and are acutely aware of the time. My recommendation, passed on from the fella who taught me, is to stand in front of your bed or similar. It stops you from walking around, catches the balls for you if you drop them, and you can collapse into it in frustration if needed.

    Fuck my life. I just found out my medicine (life saving, cannot live without medicine) has gone up in price 10x because of new insurance I got this year. Fuck me, right? In other countries, it's pennies, here it's hundreds of dollars.

    Most people don't sleep next to doors to the outside. Most windows are always locked. The least common way of a burglary happening is someone picking a lock.

    You will be awake with a significant amount of seconds to grab a gun if someone breaks into your home.

    As to doing it 24/7? Jesus, did you even read the rest of the post? That was the whole point of what you were replying to. They specifically said they think it's true that carrying it most of the time isn't the point.

    As yellow said, if it's properly mixed, the effect is to be a very sweet iced tea taste where the alcohol is nearly unnoticeable. It's probably due to the mixer/syrup just obliterating the harshness of the alcohol. Before I gave up drinking, it was definitely one of the few drinks that could sneak up and kick you in the ass if you weren't paying attention.

    The fact of sweet mixed drinks getting into you faster likely is also a contributing factor, and the classic liquors that they use are 'sugar heavy.'

    The blood spots and bruises are just associated with getting old (and yes, some other things). I'm so used to seeing them on older patients, even ones not on blood thinners / clot reducing agents, that this thing with trump just screams nothingburger to me. Like, we know he's old. We're hoping it gets him soon... but stop just telling us things about him that show he's getting old, you silly media.

    The theory about him and the dementia treatment is interesting, but still just meh.

    I mean, it's both good and bad. The amount of downvotes mean there is a large subset of folks who no longer recognize the twisting of stallman's rant. They are new to linux, and not super-serious-no-casuals-allowed penguin lovers. It's bad because I would love if everyone coming to linux could be as into it as I am. People who are invested into a thing take a much deeper look at things, and can appreciate it's soft and jagged parts and then properly make recommendations on how to change things.
