Advice I wish I wouldâve followed or been given.
And you can still do it now
fun fact: one of the best ways to keep your mind sharp is to continue learning new skills as you grow older! itâs never too late to learn how to make your own clothes or resurrect the dead or grow beautiful flowers.

Learn to do CPR.
Hot take: CPR is a low-level necromantic spell

Whoa, I didnât realize that it was so deliberate, I honestly thought it was unconscious
Scary, scary.
Gonna add on to this: From the other side of the bar, I see this crap all the time. Seriously. I work at a high-density bar, and let me tell you, I have anywhere from 10-20 guys every night come up and tell me to, âserve her a stronger drink, Iâm trying to get lucky tonight, know what I mean?â usually accompanied with a wink and a gesture at a girl who, in my experience, is going to go from mildly buzzed to definitively hammered if I keep serving her. Now, I like to think Iâm a responsible bartender, so I usually tell guys like that to piss off, and, if I can, try to tell the girlâs more sober friends that they need to keep an eye on her. But everyone- just so you know, most of the time, when someone you donât know is buying you a drink, theyâre NOT doing it out of a sense of cordiality, theyâre buying you a drink for the sole purpose of making you let your guard down. So:
Tips for getting drinks-
1. ALWAYS GO TO THE BAR TO GET YOUR OWN DRINK, DO NOT LET STRANGERS CARRY YOUR DRINKS. This is an opportune time for dropping something into your cocktail, and youâre none the wiser.
2.IF YOU ORDER SOMETHING NON-ALCOHOLIC, I promise you, the bartender doesnât give two shits that youâre not drinking cocktails with your friends, and often, totally understands that you donât want to let your guard down around strangers. Usually, you can just tell the bartender that youâd like something light, and thatâs a big clue to us that youâre uncomfortable with whomever youâre standing next to. Again, we see this all the time.
3. If youâre in a position to where you feel uncomfortable not ordering alcohol:
Hereâs a list of light liquors, and mixers that wonât get you drunk, and will still look like an actual cocktail:
X-rated + sprite = easy to drink, sweet, and 12% alcoholic content. Not strong at all, usually runs $6-$8, depending on your state.
Amaretto + sour= sweet, not strong, 26%.
Peach Schnapps+ ginger ale= tastes like mellow butterscotch, 24%.
Melon liquor (Midori, in most bars) + soda water = not overly sweet, 21%
Coffee liquor (Kahlua) +soda = not super sweet, 20%.
Hope this helps someone out!
Backing this up from years of bar tending.
Adding to this:
When I was a fresh bartender, I had a couple sitting in the corner, already drinking when I started my shift. They seemed like they knew each other really well considering how much they had their hands on one another. But I still came by and asked if they were okay. The man just waved me off while the woman said, âI need some water.â
The man laughed it off and told me, âShe doesnât need any water. Sheâs fine.â
She was not fine. Clearly. I decided I was going to cut the two off anyway and bring them some water. As I was filling up the glasses, I heard the woman say, âStop. I said no. I donât feel good.â
Her tone and attitude changed instantly. She kept pushing his hand away when he reached for her face, turned her head away when he tried to kiss her. Loudly told him, âStop. Iâm done for tonight.â
So I made sure to refill her water the moment she finished it, and I stayed within earshot of them the whole night. And every time I did, the man got mad at me, told me to leave them alone. Their friends were there, surrounding them and told me that those two always fought when they were drunk and apologized, so I relaxed a little. But the last time I refilled her drink, I heard a loud crash.
She fell out of her stool and hit her head on the floor. And he calmly drank his drink. Their friends didnât even blink. I jumped over the bar to tend to her and he just said, âDonât worry, Iâll take her home. She always ends up like this. She drinks too much.â
But it didnât sound right.
Then the woman began convulsing.
I yelled for the other bartender to call 911 and when I did, the guy suddenly disappeared. I tried asking thr friends questions about him and they just blew it off as the woman being a black our drunk. And one of them said, âWeâll get her home. Donât worry.â
But when thr EMTs showed up with the police, they all disappeared too.
A few days later the woman came with an attorney. She asked me and the other bartender who worked before me some questions. Turns out, she didnât know any of those people. They werenât her friends or her boyfriend. They had met that night, when the guy asked her if he could buy her a drink. At the hospital, they found traces of Rohypnol in her system.
The guy had Roofied her. And his friends were in on it.
The security camera footage showed he had put something in her drink when she left for the bathroom before my shift.
So seriously, it happens. You have to be careful with your drinks! Always watch it, donât let anyone handle it, and take it with you wherever you goâeven the bathroom. Or if youâre a regular at that bar, ask the bartender to put it behind the bar. Weâll do it.
Rb for that last add, donât ever worry about being polite! Protect urself!
REBLOG AND SPREAD THE WORD!
I feel like EVERYONE should know this, even if you donât drink.

Low-wage workers are not who you think. #Fightfor15
And even if they were teens, so what??? But yes to all of this.
not even so what if theyâre teensâmy mom was working minimum wage at 13 (she lied about her age) to help put food on the table; millions of teenagers today are forced to do the same thing.
Some of us literally have no other way to afford college unless we work young on top of potentially supporting the family

a sitting senator is calling for the military to be deployed against protesters
wondering what âno quarterâ means?
itâs military-speak for âtake no prisoners.â but is that legal? Â
but what about in the u.s.?
but thereâs a more casual meaning of the phrase, too, that just means to treat prisoners harshly (which is also unacceptable). maybe tom cotton meant it in the more colloquial sense. why would we assume he meant it in the military sense?
so, correction: a sitting senator and former army captain is calling for the military to be deployed against protesters without taking prisoners in direction opposition to american law and international law knowing itâs a war crime because heâs a former army captain
You deserve someone who wants to give you a fucking text back, ya know? Someone who wants you, only you, and makes you feel wanted. Someone who canât help but message you first thing in the morning when the sun is coming through the curtain, and theyâre barely waking. Someone who wants to spend their drunken Friday nights with you, but also their lazy Sundays. Someone who holds their one-person umbrella right above you when itâs pouring down, so that youâre sheltered, even if it means they get soaked through. You deserve someone who thinks of you, often. Someone who calls you on the phone at the end of a long day, because they want to hear the sound of your voice before they drift off to sleep. Someone who makes plans with you on a Tuesday evening, because the weekend is just too far away, and who cares if we have to go to work the next day. Someone who says definitely, not maybe, and follows through. You deserve to hear a song on the radio that makes you melt on the inside at the thought of this someone. Someone who could watch you sleeping for hours at a time, and be perfectly content in the grace and stillness of that moment. Someone who steals a kiss when youâre mid-sentence and least expecting to find their lips. Someone who will happily pig out on pizza with you in bed, and not judge the sweatpants & top knot look youâre sporting. Someone who is just that into you. You deserve someone who challenges the both of you constantly; someone who makes you strive to be better each day, because theyâre trying to be better too. Someone you can count on to stick around when the shit hits the fan, which it will. Someone who chooses to lift you up, always. You deserve magic, and fireworksâŠYou deserve someone who will always be careful with your heart, because they know just how fragile it already was before they held it. Someone whoâs heart aches whenever yours does. Someone who wakes up next to you each day feeling like theyâve hit the jackpot, over and over again, and thinking what on earth did they do in their past life to be so damn lucky. You deserve someoneâs complete attention. Someone who looks at you, and I mean really sees you, and all of the beauty you hold. You deserve to be someoneâs first choice. Someoneâs best friend. Someoneâs partner in crime. Someoneâs everything. You deserve to be loved; and loved extraordinarily well. And to be told that you are loved, every single day
