I, for one, am a big believer in this approach. Common people need control.

I've been here for years. And yes, the OP is exactly right.

But it is a regular season award.  Was Smart not their best defender during the season? These "Smart isn't the DPOY" takes seem to be affected by recency bias.

Curry creeping way up the all-time ladder with this series. Carried this team to the title.

When the team behind has 22 turnovers and their "stars" look shook.

Some people celebrating a little prematurely here.  A lot of time left.

So I've toned it down a bunch lately.  Even went like 10 days with no alcohol. However, today had an itch and downed a couple of drinks at lunch. Feeling it a bit right now.  Work is fun again!

First off, I love Bojack, so you are simply spurring me on with that. But seriously, I'm not doing it to "increase productivity", but regain some normalcy.  Self-medication's primary purpose is to keep people from running out of the room screaming and set themselves on fire. I know this is not...

Thanks.  If you don't mind me asking, what are the side effects (if any) you've noticed?

So, I'm still doing this on occasion.  Honestly I now realize it is a self-medicating thing.  When I get stressed, I put Fireball in my coffee, or mix a Truly/Mike's with a Powerade fountain drink or something like that.  Have been doing it off and on throughout the year as things ebb and flow...

So I've started throwing a little Fireball into my morning coffee. Sometimes throw a little into an afternoon coke or sneak in a lunchtime beer.  Makes the day go by faster and I don't know that my productivity is negatively impacted.  In fact, I'd argue that I'm a little more relaxed and more...
