“I want a relationship where we can get drunk at midnight, just the two of us and sit up talking and making out all night, and go to the beach at four in the morning. I want someone who’s down for adventure. I want someone who will go camping with me, and boating and fishing, and travel. I want someone who wants me for life. I want passion that doesn’t burn out.”

Stark Tower has literally got the best wifi in the whole of New York and Tony makes it free as well so sometimes he’ll walk out of the ground floor and just see like a dozen or so people, usually kids, just sat on the doorstep on their phones or laptops and like it’s such a little thing to do but yknow. He’s Ironman. Give the kids some damn fast wifi.

RIGHT. So. I just noticed something, and I have nowhere else suitable to put my opinion, so... here.

Society glamourizes alcohol/drinking far too much, really???

I was just looking at Mother’s Day cards (I know, I know) and I noticed that a good portion of them - at least half - involve alcohol, drinking, or wine in some way. It’s honestly a little disturbing. Alcohol is literally poison. Getting drunk is the effect of getting poisoned. Millions of people get addicted to alcohol/die from alcohol addiction every year, and even more have their lives disrupted from the addiction or death from alcohol poisoning of a friend or family member. Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of death whilst in a vehicle. Alcohol causes all sorts of diseases and health effects. All of this happens, and we’re encouraging our mothers, our fathers, our children, our siblings, and our peers to drink alcohol... for what?

Drinking doesn’t have a practical use. So, for what?

Fun?

Alcohol, a literal poison, is legal in almost every country, whilst weed/marijuana, a completely harmless plant, is still widely criminalised. The general population of many countries are drinking alcohol, getting themselves addicted, and draining their funds dry on alcohol, all on the reg, because they’re so bored that literally poisoning themselves seems like fun. And society lets it go on, unchecked, because that’s the way it’s always been. It’s time that something changed.

I’m not saying that moderate drinking if you like the taste of alcohol is a bad thing. If you legitimately enjoy the taste of alcohol, drink in small amounts. That’s fine. But if that’s not the case, please change.

If you’re a parent drinking because of your kids, don’t. Learn to discipline them properly, and that kids are noisy and messy and imperfect.

If you’re going out to bars or pubs every night for fun, don’t. Get a hobby, or start a new project. Even just sitting in front of the TV is better than drinking.

If you’re addicted, or think you might be... seek help. Go to rehab. Get rid of your alcohol, and don’t buy more. Get rid of friends who might encourage you to start drinking again.

Society glamourizes alcohol, and it’s time to make that stop. Please, don’t glamourize alcohol and drinking. It ruins lives just as much as drugs, or smoking, or sex addiction. Spread the world. Stop! Glamourizing! Alcohol!

That’s all. To whoever’s reading this, good luck, and have a great day. :)

• Use the hand you write with.

• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.

• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.

• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.
