I see no issue with using your own image to monetize yourself and help people along the way. I see a problem when money starts to get hoarded by the ultra-rich and they rape the IP and destroy anything that was worth anything.

I love Dolly. Went to Dollywood back in April. I would hate to see her estate picked apart and monetized, but you and I both know where this leads.

Stop it!

That’s entirely, vastly, and certifiably incorrect.

EDIT: Unless you mean jalapeno, serrano, or pablanos or something. I thought you meant green or sweet peppers.

actually supper simple.

Low effort, high payoff. Bacon is a good sub for pancetta too.

Ranch dressing from scratch is like 7 things.

8. You gotta add a little love. Trust me, I’m from the midwest.

I’ve noticed that recently too. I watched “Life in Pieces” recently and it’s like every other scene this family is drinking.

I tried SMART meetings. I felt as if the people there had significantly worse trauma and alcoholism than me and it made me feel like since I wasn’t as bad as them that I should still be able to keep drinking. When I have stopped drinking in the past, focusing on what’s wrong with me doesn’t help me focus on the positives and moving forward. Everyone is different though.

Maybe I will

You think if I could, that I just wouldn’t? No. I have been trying for years and can’t. I may not get withdrawal symptoms, but the societal pressures and habits drive me back to it.

I’d rather become a Buddhist and change my perspective which will eventually help me.

That’s awesome. I’ll get there soon, I hope.

Your very first sentence is very correct. “I dunno…” Yeah. You don’t. You followed it up with a bunch of “I, me, my” and can’t understand that someone may have a different issue than you.

I don’t drink daily. I’m a binge drinker. I convince myself that it will only be a few this weekend and go on a bender every time. I can’t stop lying to myself. I keep telling myself I’ll quit next weekend and do it all over again. Cut back? I cut back every week.

If alcohol came out today, it would be illegal. It kills more people than all drugs combined. It’s terrible for you and 10% of drinkers account for 90% of all alcohol sales. I just wish I could stop.

You are going to die someday relatively soon.

Best Detroit Style: Cloverleaf with a close second being green lantern.

Best Non-Detroit Style: Supino’s in Eastern Market.

Best Coney: Duly’s, but honestly National Coney Island just feels right.

It’s not BAD. I don’t mind it for the price. I would never claim that it’s “delicious” either though. I’m from Detroit too. The Little Caesar’s pizza at Little Caesar’s Arena hits different. Albeit it’s $30 more.

First, there’s cheap but delicious Little Caesars

This is how I know you are full of it
