hear me out…i drink, but i don’t want to have alcohol every day. yet most evenings after work i crave a cold bitter refreshing relaxing transition back into regular life. aka a beer. i realized that what i’m craving isn’t even the buzz, just that ritual and the flavor i associate with it. soda is too sweet and hop water isn’t harsh enough. this brand is by far the closest i’ve found to the actual beer taste, though it’s not perfect. but totally suffices as an alternative 2 or 3 times a week.

it hits the spot! i normally just wanna be drinking all day, but i can't tolerate being drunk so often in my 30s...soda? too sugary. mate? has caffeine. water? lame. an alcohol-free beer is refreshing, tastes great, and it can even placebo your brain into getting lit without the pain of a hungover.

I’ve taken down my alcohol consumption to near 0 and having these around really helps relieve any craving for a tasty beverage and gives you something to hold and sip while at parties.

you need an account but soo many treasures. old scanned newspapers - search for people, buildings, events of the past, etc. found out that my grandma apparently crashed into a parked cop car in NJ in the 50s lol. so many ridiculous vintage advertisements on each page too

Stunning memoir. Absolutely immersive. Precise and heartbreaking writing by and about a woman who suffered her whole life and ultimately caused others to as well. Felt like a thrill and a privilege to live in the honest minutia of a real daily life in 1920s-50s Copenhagen, a world that was entirely unfamiliar to me previously. Bleak yet somehow sharply funny and delightful too!

I was sitting on the steps to my house with my friend Evan. We were about 2 or 3. There were hundreds of ants on the sidewalk below us. Evan reached down and started smushing them. I turned to him and told him to stop: “How would YOU feel if you were an ant and someone smushed YOU?” A patronizing lesson in empathy… Interestingly, I had open heart surgery around the same time and spent days in the hospital, but this memory is much more visceral. Love this question.
