Did Hitchens have a reputation of a “drunkard” or “alcoholic” in Washington circles? I recall an anecdote where he said “doesn’t take much to get a reputation in this place. I enjoy 4 glasses of wine over a lunch with colleagues and people talk as a result”. Was it malicious gossip?

2025.01.19 12:20 pinkninja0007 Was he being cheap by letting me pay him back?
I went out to see a movie with an older male coworker. He suggested we go because it was a movie we both wanted to see for a long time. He offered to pick me up but I said we could meet at his place because it was On the way. I drove us there too. He bought the tickets online, and I paid him back when I saw him. Was he being cheap by letting me pay him back? The reason I’m asking is because it’s not clear if this was a semi date. I feel like he likes me more than a friend. If I were a guy and liked a girl, even if it wasn’t officially a date, I’d tell her it’s okay

This system is not bad, it keeps you from getting bored in the lobby, but it is a double-edged sword because players who come with friends or players who play with 2 accounts can use this system to help them.

2025.01.19 12:20 TackTrunkStudies Mushroom Allergy and Traveling to China
Hello all, I'm reaching out while planning a trip to China about my mushroom allergy (severe with Anaphylaxis) I know good ettiquette is to eat what you are served without complaint, especially if served by a host or elder, however, the use of mushrooms is a lot more common in Chinese cuisine than in American cuisine and that food safety/allergy safety is handled differently than it is in America. I've had to restrict some of my favorite Sichuan foods here in the states even since developing this allergy, and I'm trying to figure out how to navigate it with a visit to Beijing planned for spring 2026. Thank you.

2025.01.19 12:20 Enough-Grape9026 Paradise Date Theory
i've been trying to figure out who this couple was from the trailer. girl is obviously youjin from the nails. but the guy, i was debating between theo (cos i saw someone here say it was him based on the tie of his shorts), jeongsu or dongho.
short answer: it's dongho based on the mole on the guy's right arm. jeongsu has a mole on his chest which isnt apparent in the paradise date guy and also it cant be theo cos it seems theo wears his bracelets evERYWHERE.
that's all! i just wanted to share. i was sincerely holding onto hope that it's theo and youjin but was left disappointed after that sad discovery 🤣🤣
still rooting for dongho x youjin tho! just prefer the theo x youjin ship which im not quite sure will happen given the lack of material from the teasers/trailers (taking the post-show hints with a grain of salt for now. i dont want to get disappointed again after the gwanhee hyeseon flower fiasco we had last season)

2025.01.19 12:20 Dangerous-Charity588 Tips to climb out of plat?
Any tips that higher ranked players can share to climb out of plat? I’m a solo queue tank main and plat just feels way too streaky and unpredictable. I’ll win 7 games just to lose 6 in a row. I know I can definitely improve my gameplay but I swear there’s so many games where I’m doing my job as a tank and performing well but we just get rolled. Is it as simple as a team diff? Or am I doing something wrong and throwing games unknowingly?

2025.01.19 12:20 Subject_Actuator1280 My mom whispers to herself at night when she thinks no one is listening [part 1]
My family has an odd history of tragedy—at least, that’s what my grandma always says.
The only tragedy I vaguely remember myself is the death of my little sister Hollie, or Hol as I would always call her when we were children. I was 10 at the time so I don’t recall much. I know I was there when it happened. My memory is simply blurry, and I don’t put much stock in memories, they can be as deceitful as anything.
Thinking back now, I guess it always felt like some part of me was missing growing up.
My grandmother would keep on repeating her omens. Talking about past family history of accidental deaths, heartache, and the odd murder.
‘’It comes in waves; it comes when it wants to.’ She would ominously say but we all knew she was superstitious and generally odd. She had always been excentric according to my mother who has a much-strained relationship with her.
After the death of Hol, they grew even further apart. Grandma kept insisting something about her death wasn’t right. She would rant about an evil presence. In her worst moments, she would even go as far as throwing accusations against both me and my mother. Having eventually had enough; my mother cut all ties with her. It was the only way she could start grieving properly, she said.
For 12 years we continued as a family and did our best to move on together in what had always seemed to me, a haunted house that was now just a little shorter on love. There were hard times, especially for my mom, but it seemed we were slowly heading in the right direction.
That was until my mother started whispering to herself when she thought no one was around. It started a couple of years ago. Initially, my dad and I thought nothing of it, when we caught her from time to time, she would brush it aside. ‘’It’s nice to talk to a rational person on occasion’ she would chuckle. It honestly didn’t seem like any reason to worry. Many people talk to themselves.
Then one night I heard her whispering to herself from inside my mom's bedroom. I should mention that my that and her had been sleeping in separate bedrooms for a while at that point.
I’m not a person to intrude on other people’s personal space, but I heard her whisper my name. It got my attention. So, there I stood, in the dark upstairs hallway of my parents’ house spying on my mother. I know it might sound weird, but here’s the thing. She had been acting strangely for a while now. Distant. Almost a bit hostile toward me, and I had no idea why.
We were never any good at actually talking to each other. ‘’the less said, the better’ could’ve been the family motto. This felt like an opportunity I had to jump at.
She spoke in a low, muffled, and angry whisper. It was extremely hard to hear anything, but here’s the gist of what I got: ‘’Simon (my name) blank, blank isn’t blank blank Hol, blank leave blank was blank blank evil blank blank fault.’’
Suddenly her voice rose above a whisper into a loud command: ’GO AWAY!’’ I nearly jumped backward. Then I heard footsteps approaching the door and retreated down the stairs as quickly as I could.
I paused at the bottom of the stairs in the main hallway and looked up. I heard my mom open the bedroom door and step out. Had she heard me?
Then I saw her face peeking over the stair railing as I looked up. Backlit by the upstairs light her expression seemed dark and inhuman. If you’ve ever tried staring at your reflection in the mirror in a darkly lit room, squinting slightly, you’ll know what I mean. Features start to change.
I stood there, frozen for what seemed like several minutes. I was sure she couldn’t see me in the darkness downstairs. I was crouched, hiding, yet it seemed like her eyes were staring straight into mine. I remained motionless, afraid to move, afraid she would notice me. Finally, she retreated into the bedroom.
I didn’t sleep much that night. All I could think about was the few words I had heard. Why had she been whispering angrily to herself about me and Hol? Who was evil? I wanted to confront her but how could I? I would have to admit to spying on her.
I had to know more, and seeing no other option, I decided to keep spying on her. The only problem was, I couldn’t hear her properly from outside the bedroom with the door closed. I needed to be in there.
The following nights I would hide in my mom’s bedroom, under her bed. It felt wrong. It really did, but I had to know what she was thinking. Confronting her, as I said, was absolutely not an option for several reasons.
On the fourth night, it happened. I was lying tugged, well, trapped really, under the bed when the low angry, and growling whisper began filling the room. ‘’I’m the only one who cares. The only one who ever cared.’ The whisper crept into the room and seemed to speak from the walls. ‘’They all forgot. They never mention you.’
I didn’t know until then; how terrifying and angry a person can sound while whispering. I couldn’t believe this sound came from my mom. ‘
’Simon did this, there was always something wrong with him. Always something wrong with that kid.’
I felt an intense fear and unease mixed with sadness. Was this what my mother had always thought of me? I tried to keep myself composed, I couldn’t have her discover me now, creeping under the bed. Then she’d think something was wrong with me.
It became nearly impossible for me when a second whisper, which I KNEW wasn’t my mom, suddenly appeared. The pitch sounded inhuman, yet familiar. To my horror, I realized what made it familiar, somewhere in that angry, resentful pitch, were traces of Hol’s voice.
‘’Something must be done about him. He must be punished.’
I covered my mouth and started sobbing. I couldn’t help it. I hoped my mom couldn’t hear it. Hearing Hol’s voice again speaking those words. I never really believed in ghosts, demons or any of the things my grandma seemed to believe in, yet how could I explain this? There was no explanation.
‘’I’ll make sure he suffers for what he did, Hol, I’ll make damn sure.’’
My mom was whispering to my dead sister, and they both seemed to hate me for some reason that completely escaped me. I know I probably wasn’t always the best brother, or the best son. Heck, there are a lot of things about me I don’t like, but did I deserve their hatred? Their anger? Maybe I did.
Suddenly the whispering stopped. I could hear my mom moving about the room. Had she heard my sobbing? For what seemed like agonizing hours I held my breath until the light was turned on and my mom went to bed. I waited until I was sure she was asleep and crept out from under the bed. As quietly as possible, I opened the door but just as I was about to close it behind me, I heard my mom.
‘’Simon, is that you?’’ I was caught. I slowly turned around. She was sitting up in the bed, bathed in darkness, I could barely see her expression, yet it seemed to be judging me. ‘’I’m sorry Mom, I…’’ Had no words. Nothing to explain why I was suddenly standing there. ‘’Is everything ok?’’ I shifted back and forth on my feet nervously. ‘’Yes, I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to disturb you. It’s nothing, we can talk about it tomorrow.’ Brilliant, then I had time to come up with an excuse. Hopefully, she hadn’t seen me crawl out from under her bed. ‘’It’s late, Simon, you should get some sleep.’ I nodded. ‘’Goodnight Mom.’ I closed the door and instantly felt a panic attack coming on. Like the fabric of my soul was being torn into. I didn’t get any sleep that night.
