I’m in no way qualified to judge whether this classifies as being an alcoholic. But I think you certainly have an unhealthy relationship to alcohol or at least beer. It’s not really “normal” (sorry, I don’t know how to phrase it better) to think so much about a beverage.

The same goes for food, actually. And at least there it doesn’t automatically equal excessive consumption, sometimes it’s the opposite, either anorexia or even focusing on a healthy diet. The point is that the healthy default state is to not obsess about it too much.

Out of curiosity, have you tried alcohol-free beer? There are really good ones out there and maybe trying some could help you determine whether it’s actually the alcohol or more the “beer equals good time” aspect that drives you.

If you want to start a new line, you can either type three spaces at the end of the line or a backslash. I think it should work on all clients, but I’m not sure.

I don’t even wish my mother a happy mother’s day, because whenever mother’s day is brought up she rants about how it was made big by florists and the Nazis (this is actually true for Germany). She is a great mother though and she knows I think so.

I’d also like to point out that with an app, you don’t just hire a programmer, they make an app and done. You have to maintain it. (Although many companies with “smart” products with apps skip this part, so I’m sure it’s fine /s)

Serious question: Do people share their lemmy account with others irl?
Not even my closest friends and family know my username let alone random strangers. And I intend to keep it that way.

Everyone is saying undersalt things, but I’m assuming, that you don’t even have a clue whether a teaspoon of salt would be undersalting or oversalting. You should get someone to show you what a “normal” amount of salt is per person. It won’t be perfect but at least edible.

Migraines. At least it’s a good way to get away from the stressful situation, because I don’t have a choice unless I want to throw up and I will look so bad that people immediately believe me. So… thanks, migraines?

Yeah, they were probably just really irritated or even scared.

Also it seems very dangerous unless it’s some sort of breakaway thing. And even then really unnecessary.

I also have very good color vision.

For me it heavily depends on the context. For example I have spent some time working out a color palette for my wardrobe, so now the colors I use there are heavily associated for me.

Without any context, it’s similar to your grouping, except for the second group: oranges go nearly all to the reds, yellows go to the greens, browns go to black and greys.

I think it does make a difference. When the parties are voted for before forming the coalition, you know exactly how many people supported them and their policies. Then the coalition is negotiated based on that. If you form the coalition first, then only the majorities inside the coalition matter for who has the most say, you have no way of knowing what’s important to the voters.

Are other people allowed to hear our song when we play it? If so, I choose Macarena and then sell my attendance at parties and weddings and so on.

Just livin the goth life.

No. Just Istanbul, not Constantinople.

… unless there are not enough teachers, or not enough public pools, or…

The indoor pool I learned swimming closed a decade ago and since then there is no public indoor pool in the city anymore.

I’m a bit sad Rhabarberbarbarabarbarbarenbartbarbierbierbarbärbel doesn’t make an appearance in this.

(Bärbel owns a bar where she sells a special beer to the barber who cuts the beards of the barbarians who like to eat rhubarb cake at Barbara’s (aka Rhubarb-Barbara) bar.)

(I used a website and copy pasted it here. I don’t think the app I’m using, Eternity, has an option for it).

My grandma’s recipe for Spätzle (egg-based noodles) is: “You start with the amount of eggs you need for the amount of people, add a bit of water, a pinch of salt and then flour until it has the right consistency.” Her recipe for pancakes is basically the same.

My grandma is very partial to the easily reproducable measures “until it has the right consistency” and “until it has the right colour”. As in “add water until it has the right consistency” or “add milk until it has the right colour”. Nearly all her recipes use them.

Funnily enough the latter is also used by Aperol in their recipe for Aperol Spritz on their bottles. At least they provide a picture of what the “right colour” is supposed to be.

My favourites are:

• Fall of Civilisations
• The Thing About Austen

You’re exactly 5 years older than me. What a coincidence!
