I don’t think ibuprofen is safe to take with alcohol either.
Pretty sure the label warns against this here. But lots of water and sleep is a good idea.
Do I have to get shit faced to get braised beef tongue for breakfast or can I just ask nicely? I’m open to either.

Oh honey it happens, it’s not a clear sign of any larger problem, sometimes people just get too drunk.
…if it becomes a pattern, that’s a different story. But he was probably a bit nervous meeting the family and overindulged. If he’s doing it out of boredom, make the boy cook!! Anyone can peel or chop vegetables. I got mine a lil apron and call him my sous chef (don’t tell him he’s the actually the garçon de cuisine)

In the moment? Put him to bed. Tell him he’s too drunk and he’s causing problems, acting inappropriately and put him to bed. Tomorrow, explain what happened, if he’s not immediately remorseful hit him with the “Are you proud of your actions? Trying to touch my cock in front of my family?” be explicit. Explain that is unacceptable and if that’s how he’s going to act while drunk, he can’t drink that much around your family. Set these firm boundaries.
If he’s a decent man, he’s gonna feel really regretful. You can explain you still love him, you still wanna be with him, you understand people get drunk and make bad decisions and ask him if he wants help metering his drinking and try to work out some code phrases to remind him to pace himself while saving face. Revelling drunks hate to be told “Slow down” or “Haven’t you had enough?” Something like touching his shoulder and saying “Whew, these drinks are strong! I think I’m gonna get a buffer water, do you want one, honey?”
Also, get him a Gatorade before he goes to bed and one for when he wakes up, that should help the hangover in a big way. Any electrolytes will do. I like the Brode pills.
- Comment on Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense 1 day ago:
I have a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra from 2020. Phenomenal device. The folding phones intrigued me, though, so I looked into it.
The specs are meaninglessly better, anything you get today is bundled with AI bloatware, I’d lose my stylus and any choice, even the Chinese ones (which are tricky to get and use in the US grrr) cost at least $1,700 for the privilege.
No thanks. I cracked the screen on this device and paid $250 to get pretty much the entire phone besides the main board replaced (another bitter grr, I used to swap digitizers off smart phones myself for $20) so I don’t see any reason to swap for another few years.
In this economy? It just doesn’t make sense.
- Comment on Watch: ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Cast Introduce Their Cadet Characters 6 days ago:
Well, I can’t watch the actual introductions because they’re all stuck on Instagram, but the trailer posted seemed… fine, I guess. It seemed kinda action forward but that’s just part of some episodes. The writing seemed a little sloppy? Like Picardo saying “we got X injured but no casualties”. Casualties include injured, don’t they? Also maybe it was just me but everyone’s mouths looked like they were moving kinda weird during the action shots. Maybe that’s a playback issue tho.

- Comment on Norwegian Man Arrested for Playing Dorei to no Seikatsu 4 weeks ago:
Sorry, but pedophilia is vastly different than coprophilia and other outlandish fetishes in the scale of harm to others and the inability for it to ever be consensual.
I could talk about how pedophiles also tend to seek positions where they hold power dynamics over children, even ones who don’t act on their desires, increasing the likelihood of abuse, but I think your point is moreso about a hypothetical pedophile who doesn’t act on their desires, doesn’t acquire CSAM, doesn’t surround themselves with children and simply struggles internally with their fetish and actively seeks professional help on how to maintain a safe life for themselves and others.
Yes, I suppose that person doesn’t need any government intervention in their lives outside of the monitoring you suggested.
That said, this particular article is about a man who did seek out, acquire and consume CSAM instead of seeking therapy. The government detected this and removed him from society such that he cannot be a threat to children. That sounds about right.
- Comment on Norwegian Man Arrested for Playing Dorei to no Seikatsu 4 weeks ago:
HOI4 is an interesting choice for an analogy here.
It’s unanalagous in that HOI4 sanitized itself of the Holocaust specifically so people wouldn’t be able to roleplay committing xenophobic genocide, unlike the game in question which is specifically designed to let you roleplay a pedophile rapist preying on the already abused.
However it is tangentially analogous in the sense that anime tends to have a bit of a Nazi bar issue with pedophilia thanks to people (who I’m gonna have to assume are well intentioned) unintentionally making room for pedophiles to exist and operate with arguments just like the ones you’re making here.
Of course video games don’t cause violence. The only people interested in the pedophile rapist roleplay visual novel, though, are very likely people with an interest in pedophilia. The government is right to monitor and remove people who acquire CSAM instead of going to therapy from society and it isn’t overreach to protect children in this way. Is there a potential for such a system to be abused by the government? Yes, of course, but such is true of any system. Preventing government abuse and corruption is separate from stopping the distribution of CSAM and protecting children from predators.

It’s a little more than a drawing, it’s an h game literally about grooming an underaged abused child to have sex with you. It’s child pornography, the Norwegian government rightly recognizes it as such and it’s fucking disgusting.

Maybe it’s too early to say, but, y’all, this fucking slaps. I’m really enjoying playing as a heretofore unknown dynasty in China, trying to get up the ranks, get assigned territory to govern and build up my family. Just tried a bit last night, so unsure what Japanese or Mandala governments are like, or even what being closer to the Emperor in the Celestial government is like, but it’s a big departure from playing in Europe and that’s very interesting.
