RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Almost 30 and I don't remember ever getting such a bad hangover. Heck, I used to get sober on the way home before even crashing on the bed.

Yeah as you get older you really need to make sure you’re drinking enough water before you knock out and probably get something in your stomach otherwise you’re in for a bad time.

Might be a placebo but drinking those “liquid IV” mixes have been a game changer since once I’m drunk enough I don’t like to drink regular water but I can convince drunk me to drink those at least and it’s saved me so many hangovers lol

Hydration is so huge for hangover prevention. If I'm going hard for some reason, I'll chase shots with those IV mixes.

I have salty watermelon Promix packs that I’ll mix into water when needed. They’re primarily for my workouts, but they’re great for getting you hydrated quickly when drinking.

When I was younger that was enough to totally avoid a hangover, but over time it got to be more like a way to make it less bad, still going to have a headache at least no matter what at two drinks or more.
