Two best choices I've ever made tbh. I look 10 years younger since my last fun

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

May I ask how important it is to look young? Or is it just a proxy for your health?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What’s the point of looking good if you can’t have fun?

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can drink and not look haggard, idk what op thinks is the case, but he's full of shit. Sunlight on your face is what makes you look old prematurely. Liquor can give you a raspy voice along with tobacco, but that is another story.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Im convinced drinking preserved my youthful looks. When i stopped drinking i gained weight and started looking haggard

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just for the first time gained weight. I got injured, and gained 20 pounds from my target weight, but 27 from my weight this time the last two years. This has never happened before, I am currently in the process of losing it. Still skinny, but I'm going to turn it into muscle.

But I am still drinking here and there, mostly homebrew stuff, but some ipa and whiskey or gin here and there, or pbr when it's hot. And I still look youthful-ish for my age.

I drank about 12 7% ipa's a day all 2024. If that's alot.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol i love that i got downvoted for looking young.

Yeah 12 ipa's a day is an addiction. I'm glad you're not doing that anymore

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I still do that, just not every day. I've like, a mountain of green bud here.

the horrid farts you crop dust on your enemies. as their souls depart from this earthly realm, so to does your soul ascend to greater heights of depravity.

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Look good feel good. Drinking to excess ages you. Most of my coworkers are in one stage or another of alcoholism, two of em have died. It always ends sad too and at least a little pathetic.

Nothing but clean living here, I quit all my vices, unless you count weed and alcohol, which I don't.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Glue and gas don't count either.
If uh anyone was curious

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Growing up, the richest kid in our school used to huff glue all the time. We were tripping on mushrooms and smoking green bud, which he turned down, then poured rubber cement into a baggie and huffed it. Go figure.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago

That's horrible

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I stole and ate all of my cats Gabapentin

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You gotta save that for when you get your next tattoo

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I quit coffee, refuse to drink even tea for fear of ingesting caffeine. My work performance is suffering, but fuck it.

Yet sti can't fully quit YouTube. It's almost as if I'm searching for some sort of answer from it.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

I hardly ever use youtube, for a decade and a half at least, since google bought them, I barely use it. Just to watch John Oliver usually, but some other stuff too, occasionally for music. But on the high seas here music is free.

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

That spelling of separate is also a choice.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I realized in my late 20’s that I actually enjoy going out for drinks with friends. Unfortunately, all of my friends were over it by that point. I look younger than my age, probably due in part to the fact that I never drink. Hopefully my liver abuse days are still ahead of me.

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Why do so many Americans spell it "sepErate"?

[–] Arrkk@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Americans reduce the Middle vowel to schwa in the adjective form but not the verb form, so you'll often see the adjective spelled with an e and the verb with an a.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I have a pretty generic US accent and I pronounce the second vowel in both the same, but I change the third vowel to a schwa in the adjective form.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

In the US, all vowels are part of the same letter pool, you can pick any one of them when needed.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Because they tend to be stupid, and barely literate

"On accident"..?

Shameful.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It’s phonetically correct for me even thought I know it’s an A it sounds like an ER to my ear

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Go tell that to the stupid people whith no brains that think drinking is fun.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It is fun

Your suggestion that drinkers are stupid kinda falls apart when you fail to spell the word "with" correctly.

[–] fubbernuckin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Don't question it too much, they're drunk /j

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 week ago

Are you kidding me? You can’t tell that bunch of folks a thing except maybe where the next best happy hour is. Exuberant drunks that down 2 shots and a beer & then proclaim their brilliance & enlightenment. They believe their own crazy talk. God bless their hearts.
