  • See I dislike this mentality though. Shouldnt the point of business be to make a product thats widely popular and accessible to essentially everyone? Unless of course your burgers are made with higher quality meat than your competitors(as an example), so you pay a little more in costs for the product itself. I really think this culture of businesses being viewed as successful only if they post “record” profits every quarter (while simultaneously rolling back policies that made the business good/popular because it cost more money) is going to absolutely break the consumers back at some point.





  • Had a recurring nightmare over the course of about 3 nights as a kid in middle school. Dreams would pick up where the last one left off, and it was a zombie/mutant humanoid apocalypse scenario happening at my house. We defended the house well for two days straight, didnt lose a single survivor. Then on the third day we became overrun, lost everybody, and i was “bitten”. The dream ended with me watching an absolute flood of bodies breaking through my kitchen wall, attacked the remaining survivors, and me screaming “IVE BEEN BITTEN!!”.

    Looking back and thinking about it, its pretty freaky lol.





  • I understand the point in OPs post, but I disagree with it based upon evidence we have available to us. I think first and foremost it is important to mention (I dont have the studies linked but it shouldnt be hard to find) that teenage drug use overall is trending downward, with that including underage alcohol use/abuse. If younger generations use it less, the problems caused by alcoholism will be less prevalent as time goes on. Secondly, weve been putting up with drunk drivers for a while but (as our younger generations have been told for about 20 years now) the consequences for drunk or impaired operation of a motor vehicle have become more and more severe. I do believe alcoholism is something that can and will be phased out given enough time. The only thing that is still a mystery is what vice is going to replace it, and whether it is going to be better or worse.
