as newspapers today dont tend to hire children, a modern day Tintin would run a clickbait YouTube channel, except the clickbait is 100% real every single time
he starts off as an irritating conservative pundit at 14, meets Chang then leaves the think tank paying him and launches his own independent channel and blows up shortly after. Chang helps with video editing and managing his socials and they often chat on video calls between adventures. Haddock, his foster dad, has absolutely no knowledge of his earlier videos.
my god you're another person who cant tolerate coffee?? epic
I'm like a supertaster which sounds cool but it means I can't tolerate a lot of things haha. Soda, coffee, alcohol, some types of vegetables...it's off da table for me for the most part.
"It is said Gen. Garfield will restore wine and liquor to the White House. I hope this is a mistake. I am no fanatic on the subject. I do not sympathise with the methods of the ultra temperance people. I believe that the cause of temperance will be most surely promoted by moral, religious, and educational influences and by the influence of example. I would not use the force of law as an agency for temperance reform. If laws on the subject are enacted let them be for the security of the community -- to protect the public from nuisances and crime. Let the temperance reformer keep to the text influence, argument, persuasion example.
When we came here we banished liquor from the house:
1. Because it was right, wise and necessary
2. Because it was due to the large support given me by the sincere friends of the Temperance reform.
3. Because I believed that it would strengthen the Republican party by detaching from the political temperance party many good people who would join the Republican party, and would save to the Republican party many who would otherwise leave it to join the Temperance party.
If Gen. Garfield rejects the practice I have inaugurated, he will offend thousands, and drive them into the hands of the Temperance demagogues. He will lose the confidence of thousands of good citizens and gain no strength in any quarter. His course will be taken as evidence that he lacks the grit to face fashionable ridicule. Nothing hurts a man more than a general belief that he lacks the 'courage of his convictions.'"
-- President Rutherford B. Hayes, who had (in)famously banned liquor from the White House during his Administration, leading to his wife and First Lady earning the nickname of "Lemonade Lucy", on reports that his successor, President-elect James Garfield would serve alcohol in the Executive Mansion after his Inauguration, personal diary entry, January 16, 1881.
President Garfield only served 199 days as President -- and 79 of those days were spent desperately battling for his life after being shot. But Garfield did lift the ban of alcoholic beverages during his brief tenure in the White House, likely making meetings and parties a lot less "dry" than those of the Hayes Administration.
You know, if Yesenin and Mayakovsky are added to the anime, their duo will look like soukoku: Yesenin is short, and even likes drinking alcohol quite a bit like Chuuya; Mayakovsky is tall like Dazai and he loves Lilya Brik, like Dazai the waitress.
I imagine how Yesenin will come all drunk, and Mayakovsky will be like, “Why the fuck did you come to the fight drunk again??” and Yesenin will be like, “Quiet, this is my character that everyone should remember. Idiot."
Then these two will fight with Soukoku, and it will be a funny mess.
My wonderful spouse, who I love very much, set a phone alarm to remind him to send drunk texts to his friends this evening, and ensured that he would be appropriately drunk (0.086%, currently) by consulting a blood alcohol calculator that factored in change over time. He was worried that this level of planning was against the spirit of Drunk Texts, but I assured him it was not.
