You’re not paying for the booze, you’re paying for space and time in that spot. It’s so expensive to keep the doors open. All the licencing and insurance. Wages, rent. It all adds up so quickly. I worked at a modest sized place for a few years and got to know the business side of it. It was at least 7k a week through the till to break even.

Edit: to all the bar haters out there; find a spot without TVs or blaring music. You may be surprised by how nice it can be just chilling and having some drinks. So many bars are just sensory overload. A nice quiet drinking hole is worth its weight in gold.

About once a year I’ll convince myself fast food is a good idea. I always feel ill for a day after. Idk if it’s the mega sodium or the ultra processed grease, but I just feel queezy.

Remember, babies can’t properly digest the bones from chicken wings till 8mo.

I use a phone till it stops working. Usually get 3-4 years out of it. I usually will buy a refurbished “flagship” phone from the previous year or two. I like a big screen and lots of memory. I’m currently using a pixel 9pro xl. It’s fine. I like the idea of using graphene, but haven’t yet summoned the energy to do it.

Tis the law of the jungle

I’ve thought about doing that very thing. I love me some beans, and only buy dried. It works if you’ve got a good day to day rhythm going. But if you don’t have the time, or miss soaking them the night before it’s all derailed.

Welcome to lemmy. Hope you like beans!

They carry rose tinted memories

I always thought it was in the bean family

A pair of socks, with a second good pair of wollen socks help. But you just gotta make yourself ok with being cold. It’s really not so bad if you keep moving.

A good winter night walk can’t be beat. Layer up just right. Enjoy a silence unrivaled. Enjoy a sky so clear the starlight makes the snow glow.

play that phonky music white boy!

The future is terrifying. How many years before ice has those things chasing people down in the streets?

Be careful. These nuts may kick back!

You can haggle with them. Save up a few k and then call them offering to pay a lump sum to settle the debt. A few years ago I broke my wrist and ended up with a 16k bill. I got 3k together, called them, told them I’m poor AF, that they could take the 3k or nothing. They took the 3k.
