This seems bad.

I'm honestly scared. That's a ridiculous percentage. We may be entering a new, much worse era of incels and mass violence. Hopefully this phenomenon is due more to availability and acceptance of porn, which would likely avoid a lot of frustration among dumb men with not much to live for.

Ah, but then there's this, which also explains it:

Another Dead Russian General

A Russian general who was dismissed as the Kremlin’s top commander in Ukraine after heavy losses has died in Moscow after reportedly falling ill.

Colonel General Gennady Zhidko, a former deputy defence minister, commanded Russian forces in Ukraine for several months from last May. He was removed from his post after President Putin’s army was forced into a series of humiliating retreats in the north-eastern Kharkiv region of Ukraine in October.

Mikhail Degtyarev, the Kremlin-loyal governor of Russia’s far eastern Khabarovsk region, said that Zhidko, 57, had died after a “long illness.” He did not elaborate, sparking speculation on social media that he may have been poisoned.

He is the seventh Russian general to have died since the start of the war in Ukraine

I’m beginning to think that war is bad for your health

I thought the Russians had better health care than us

I want to laugh, but this is probably very bad news for a lot of people

Maybe he put someone else on the plane in his place, because he definitely knew his days were numbered.

Good start but just abolish the ABC stores altogether and let us buy in bulk from the big box stores

Happy hours are illegal? NC should legalize Uber/Lyft so that it makes sense to legalize happy hour.

Delivery of mixed drinks would be pretty clutch

Costco in SC has a liquor store. Name brand and Kirkland brand stuff. Apparently Kirkland vodka is Grey Goose.

Grey goose calls this a dirty lie

Yes, we drive down to the Myrtle Beach Costco and stock up a few times a year.
Kirkland vodka, spiced rum, tequila, Irish cream are all good. My friend who is a bourbon snob buys one of their bourbons, I think they have more than one.
It's very cheap compared to NC.

In the meantime, I've ordered some decent scotch and mezcal online from ReserveBar a couple times and been quite pleased. If you spend ten seconds to Google up a coupon code, it's considerably cheaper than NC ABC, where it probably isn't even in stock.

It seems like it's maybe illegal for them to deliver to NC (I don't really get it?), but it's worked without a hitch both times I've tried it.
