I have seen in many US shows where they portray guys who are living with parents as losers, or there are jokes or memes about it, I never get it.

            There was no sarcasm, I meant “see how long you can go :)” as in “see how long you can go without drinking, I’m rooting for you”, it was meant to be supportive. Sorry if it didn’t come across like that.

            I read that as being supportive, man. “Hey check in with us when you get a job, let us help you stay accountable.”

          Naw i fucked myself over. I soberly parked on a boat ramp. Then drank like 5 shots, or something but i consumed enough to get me drunk on police scales. When the park ranger said i had to leave i went back in the drivers seat and tried to drive off, but i couldnt because i i waited to long by the river and my back wheels starting turing and losing traction. So i asked the park ranger to call the cops to help and i was charged instead assisted

            Yeah it’s unfortunate you had to learn that lesson the hard way, but cops are not there to help you in any way regardless of the ridiculous “protect and serve” slogan they love to use. They’ve literally fought and won multiple cases to prove they don’t have to help people. It’s fucked.

              Yeah i now know. I shouldve just called my insurance because a bit of towing wouldve solved everything. But thats in the past now and im living with the consequences of it. It sucks but there isnt anything i can do about it now.

                Yep that’s the right attitude to have I think. Soon enough it’ll be over and you’ll have your license back. Best of luck on the job hunt friend.
