Ah, that's good to hear.

[Iduno]

He's been memeing on Facebook, so he's definitely still alive (unless the mad bastard's set up a script to post relevant memes for him... Hmm...). So far as I know he's just been really busy.

Oh man, that's way better than faking your own death.

[LordBaal]

Setting up such script would be faking... you are alive?

[Imic]

His last post isn’t exactly hopeful in regards to whatever His current state may be.

I just don't enjoy anything anymore.

[Kagus]

Such is life with depression... Anhedonia is a hell of a drug.

At least he's still active and interacting with people, even if it's only through memes. It takes a certain reservoir of life to share stuff with people, to believe that anyone will notice or care, so he's still got that much.

Also, for best results, leaving cryptic voicemails.

I mean, what are they going to do? Tell you to stop?

That is good.

Nah Banjo needs to stop drinking.

Seriously Yoink now it's not just us worrying about you now your real life lunatics also go on here and worry about your drinking

Yes. Yoink, you need to not drink so much. If stopping cold turkey won’t work try halving the amount you drink each day for a week, then half that amount for next week, or another gradual decrease over time

If you need any support, I know Kagus and Hans have dealt with similar issues before.

I appreciate y'all, but...

Spoiler: Also, a confession (click to show/hide)

I feel like my drinking habits have gradually been blown way out of proportion around here. It's become a meme, basically.   
I'm afraid I may have encouraged this, even, by responding positively to jokes about it or cracking them myself, but really I don't drink all that much. No, I'm not constantly drunk, and no, I don't always have rum stashed nearby. I'm not really a swashbuckling type staggering around with alcohol-induced sea legs. I very much doubt I am an alcoholic - I do make a habit of drinking fairly heavily in social situations, but it's not like I can't go without drinking for fear of getting the shakes. I don't drink every day, I don't feel any ill effects from those dry days (apart from maybe kinda wanting a drink), and lately I haven't even been having more than one or three beers on the occasions when I do drink - though that's mainly because I'm staying with family.
I suppose it's possible that I've done myself an ARBI or two over the years, and my liver probably isn't too fond of me, but really the bulk of the damage my social drinking habits do is to my bank account, haha.

In fact, describing me as a heavy drinker would probably be insulting to actual alcoholics, who can't escape from their spiral of daily drinking without risk of dying to the withdrawals. Seriously, I've watched a documentary here and there, full-blown alcoholism isn't really a joking matter... well, okay, I guess it is, but only if one has a very dark sense of humour.   

Sure, I doubtless drink far more than the average Bay12er, but my drinking habits are really fairly standard for my country and hobbies.   
Anyhow, I seem to have forgotten all the other purty words I was gonna put in here, so I'll leave it at that.   

   

I also hope Hans is doin' alright.

wtf is an arbi /too lazy to check

[Doomblade187]

Thanky for allaying out worries. I think the biggest thing about your drinking habits is the constant reference to you being a pirate lol. I have a tendency to get caught up in things, I will admit. Also, I really need to grab a 40oz of Fosters one of these days. Would be nice, and the can shape appeals to me.

Best gif lol.

To Alcohol! The cause of... and solution to... all of life's problems

I'm not an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meetings!


Actually nah, I had a few beers two days ago so obviously I'm still recovering from the hangover. I'm definitely not a prolific drinker (certainly not by local standards), I just get a bit mopey sometimes when I'm drunk. ...and I'm friends with half the bartenders in town.

I actually tried becoming an alcoholic several years ago, because I thought maybe that would give my life some meaning and give me the motivation to get past my hangups in pursuing gainful employment. ...but I couldn't get the drinking to stick.

[Naturegirl1999]

Magus, that is the opposite problem of most who drink. Consider yourself lucky

[itisnotlogical]

Mom blasted her goddamn talk radio show at 5 AM and now I'm awake, again.

I do not care if this fucking treatment worked, I don't care if I die two weeks from now, I don't care if I go blind, I don't care if I get all the symptoms back, I want to go home because I cannot take being in this fucking hotel room with this fucking woman anymore.

"BE QUIET WHEN SOMEBODY IS SLEEPING" should not be a controversial issue in the household.

[TD1]

A problem I am grateful I don't have. There are like four bedrooms and a bathroom between me and my parents. Honestly, I love my parents very much, but constant contact can get old.

As for drinking, 23 years clear. Nearly 24.

I think it's a thing Aussies put shrimp on.
