The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

829 was the best I could do with right hand only. I may've just lost a bit of my chaotic noise cred but at least that best try was still worse than either of the first tries above! I did manage to get 865 using both hands. I can kinda sense I'm going wrong somehow but nothing I can do about it. The longer the song, the more I'd fuck it up.

Yeah with both hands it's supposed to be a lot easier. I did it with one.

i was around the 850 mark the first few times but i just got 901.

Mine all went to the left....but I was using my left hand

Thinking of quitting alcohol. Not permanently, not out of principle, not because I have a problem (but why wait for it to become one?) but because why the hell not? It's just become this habitual thing, spurred on in part by the state-owned alcohol monopoly's extremely selective opening hours; "Oh the alcohol monopoly is closed over the holidays, better go stock up in case I feel like drinking" and then of course I feel like drinking because my pantry is full of booze. But how often do I wake up thinking "man am I glad I got drunk yesterday"? Don't think it's happened yet. Think I'll go on one final binge to ring in the new year and then call it quits.

I'm glad I stuck to my typical 3 beer limit on Tues night. Kinda like practising some Utilitarianism nerd shit to maximise fun over the longer time frame. Less glad I had those fries afterwards though. Had a bit of reflux while trying to get off to sleep and had to wait for my post-nasal drip to stop being horrendous!

I haven't had a drop of alcohol since 2019. Feels good.

 

[MasterpieceMesias]

I don't drink anymore myself, but I may or may not participate in some Mary Jane products on the occasion.

I don't miss the booze...that's for sure

i've never got a big kick out of alcohol tbh. i get drunk socially every now and then (like 2-4 times a year these days) and have fun and all, but i never think to myself wow that was great can't wait to do it again. i do love malt whisky however, as well as that cinnamon jack daniels variant lol, i will sometimes have either/or as a night-cap if i'm in the mood. realistically it's never had enough of an impact on my life for me to put any thought toward quitting, i'll sometimes go months without a drop without it being a conscious decision.

that said, i was hungover as fuck christmas day and that part i could always fucking do without lol

Starting to find less and less enjoyment out of drinking, myself.

Did ya have fun at least?

 

[Slammed]

I haven't been drunk, or even tipsy in about 20 years. Best thing I ever did was give up drinking beer and mixing spirits, coke fucks whiskey. In Oz we have to spend more than $50 before we get to something reasonable in the bourbon/whisky range, but even shit like JD and Beam are creeping up over $50 a bottle in some places now making drinking a really expensive habit.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah my whisky stores tend to slowly get depleted over the year and then get slightly restocked by gifts on birthdays/christmas lol

I've never had a drinking problem, I just stopped because it was a waste of money and unhealthy as fuck.

 

[Slammed]

I used to have a drinking problem, I couldn't get enough. But driving the truck fixed me, having to be 00 BAC pretty much 24/7 killed any real drinking I did.

Looking back now at when we used to go through 30+ cans a night or several bottles of Beam and coke, I consider that a waste of money, but back then a carton of 30 only cost us about $25, as did a bottle of Beam. Back then I was single and had a huge disposable income too. These days I don't consider the way I drink to be a waste of money even though prices are more than double what they used to be because I drink what I like when I like and I enjoy it and there is more health risks leaving the house than there is from the amount of alcohol I drink.

Having my whole indigenous side of the family be alcoholics was enough to deter me lmao.

 

[Slammed]

Both my wife and I have had alcoholics in the family, (although she wins with the highest number, must be a WA thing ), but we both decided long ago that moderation is better than absence. When a bottle of whiskey can last 3 months I figure I'm going to die from eating red meat and allowing cows to fart than I am alcohol.
