  • I mean, my gun is to defend my house. I’m not going to take the gun and run around shooting the abstractum of fascism. There would need to be some kind of strategy, organization, plan, etc for you to expect an armed uprising. Nobody wants to be a martyr, they just want to protect what they have and who they love.

    There’s a long road littered with the corpses of less bloody solutions that needs to be walked before the second amendment is leveraged, and at that point we would likely need an entire Constitutional Convention of States and rewrite of the constitution to fix our systemic issues.






  • Lol, I wish. As far as I know, this isn’t a well documented thing, my PCP was kinda like, “huh, that’s interesting, I wonder how many people are dehydrated because of that.”

    The only reason I discovered this is cuz my girlfriend knows me very very well and she suspected there was something off. So she asked me probing questions until we discovered I’m literally drinking incorrectly.

    So the best I can do is give you a couple of different ways to drink and see if you notice any difference in how easy or difficult it is to comfortably drink without ingesting air.

    So first thing we did was have me drink from a bottle. Any bottle where you can form a full seal around the opening with your mouth. Tilt back and let the fluid fill your mouth as much as possible before starting to swallow. That should mean a very minimal amount of air in the first gulp, and no additional air in each subsequent gulp because it’s sealed.

    Contrast that with drinking from a normal glass, and you may find that you’re gulping down air as you’re drinking with each gulp. In that case, a straw will probably prevent you from doing that.

    But really drinking from a bottle really illustrated the mechanical difference to me and made me realize my hatred for drinking was definitely born of a physical discomfort which was ultimately from a poor technique.

    And after I thought about it, I was like ya know, no one really ever taught us how to drink did they? We all just figure it out, and assume we all learned the same lessons.

    This might have all been the biggest factor in me never really being into drinking alcohol, because the very concept always sounded like a chore to me.

    Anyway, I hope that helps!
