You don’t usually remember either, so it’s basically a moot point.

AI is a great tool, but that’s all it is. It’s absolutely not a complete solution.

Electric stoves are a thing, though.

I always chuckle because “only a sith deals in absolutes” is an absolute.

If you do COBOL it’s a get out of jail free card

But that’s exactly what an alcoholic would say

“Why don’t you just stop drinking for good then?”

Oh, I don’t have friends, it was just a shower thought.

No one said anything about triggering an addiction, or being addicted at all.

It’s the act of defending your alcohol consumption that can make you sound like an alcoholic.

Not being healthy is by definition causing harm.

I guess I’m lucky. Since I retired from drinking no one has pushed back when I’ve declined to partake.

They’re not completely wrong, though. The studies show that no amount of alcohol consumption is healthy for you.

But, they were an asshole for how they said it.

I wish our local brewery would do this. I love hanging out there, but I’m not a huge root beer fan and that’s the only non-alcoholic beverage they have.

That’s the point, though. Even if you have one beer a week, defending that if challenged to quit will make you sound like an alcoholic.

Not really. Say you have one beer a week after mowing the yard. I could say, “If you aren’t addicted, then just quit.”

You need 0 refined sugar to survive too.

There are good alcohol free beers now. I’ve been enjoying Athletic Brewing Company

It’s used in vape flavors sometimes too

Something tells me that there are more people/New Yorker interactions than people/shark interactions.

What about a dryer?
