Got a lot of DMs about my Portillo‘s experience so we waited about 30 minutes for our food but the location itself is a highlight with so much cool old stuff and they had some interesting beers at the bar that made our waiting time amazing. Definitely recommend this one to all my fellow Europeans if you‘re in Chicago 🇺🇸🌭

No matter how many times I rewatch SATC, I still don’t get why people love Charlotte so much and hate on the most interesting characters (literally every one else).

Just had our first Waffle House experience at 1am. Great food, great prices, and friendly staff. 10/10, we will be coming back.😋

Only sort of aware of what “dungeon crawler Carl” was, but knowing it built its fanbase first and foremost off audiobooks is some generational slander for when that topic gets brought up again

It always feels like the 2 types of reactions foreigners have to America is that everything is terrible or they start cursing God they weren't born in Naperville Illinois.

People don’t realize how ubiquitous drinking used to be. Like most men used to drink every day. It was not uncommon for laborers to have a shot of whiskey to start the day. Taking a couple nips before a big meeting or speech was normal. Wine with dinner and an after dinner digestion drink was common. There are certainly people who are just born addicts and would drink themselves to death under any circumstance, at any historical time, in any culture. But now that it’s been almost a decade since I last drank, and I’ve spent probably too much time studying both addiction and historical culture, I am fully convinced that our current culture is not only characterizing non-problematic drinking as “alcoholic,” but the culture itself is making people drink alcoholically. Historically, outside of certain Protestant denominations that strongly discouraged, if not outright prohibited it, there wasn’t much fuss about drinking in general, but more obvious, frequent drunkenness. Now, true drunkenness is permitted, but only in very specific contexts by specific age groups. The striking difference is that casual drinking (not to drunkenness) is also confined to very specific contexts. Lunch drinking, of even a beer or a glass of wine, is virtually non-existent in contemporary American culture. If your coworker at a major corporation ordered a beer at lunch, it would be shocking. The old shot of whiskey to start the day would immediately be interpreted as alcoholism. There is something about the current culture around alcohol that I believe is literally driving people to a weird version of alcoholism. We are increasingly making it taboo and then compounding our interpretation of the behavior and I think people are subconsciously fulfilling the belief that’s been implanted. Even normal casual drinkers are seemingly constantly feeling the need to examine and prove that they are not alcoholics, where they never even would have considered it 60 years ago. The new crew of health podcasters are making it even worse by making normal people feel like a single beer is going to “ruin their sleep” and destroy their health.

Friend is visiting Seattle this weekend. Here is his report: Seattle nightlife might be the most cooked market in America. Went out in Cap Hill with my buddy who’s a legitimate Chad. In NYC he’s batting over .500 on infield cold approaches. Seattle? We went 0-for-15. Girls with face tats, dyed green hair, three piercings, smoking cigs outside the bar were rejecting him and laughing like they were Victoria’s Secret models. At least 25% of the girls were lesbians and my friend was still trying to recruit them away from their girlfriends like he was an SEC football coach. I’ve never seen a dating market this brutal. Seattle nightlife needs a federal investigation. Is Seattle the worst dating market in USA?
