Drunkenness is temporary suicide.

Summary

The quote suggests that the act of getting drunk is akin to a form of temporary suicide. It implies that getting intoxicated to the point of losing control over oneself is a reckless and self-destructive behavior. Just as suicide is a permanent and irreversible choice, drunkenness is described as a temporary but similarly harmful act that endangers one's well-being and potential. By likening drunkenness to suicide, the quote serves as a cautionary reminder of the potential consequences and the need to exercise moderation and self-control with regard to alcohol consumption.

Every November on National Adoption Day, courts set aside time to finalize adoptions from foster care that might otherwise be delayed for months, and communities celebrate adoption with retreats, proclamations, and other events.

In the Pentagon Papers case, the government asserted in the Supreme Court that the publication of the material was a threat to national security. It turned out it was not a threat to U.S. security. But even if it had been, that doesn't mean that it couldn't be published.

It's ironic, really. Guys should be excited that I got Kristen Bell. If Brad Pitt gets Kristen Bell, it's like, 'Well, of course he did.' With me, it should be, 'Oh good, a normal-looking guy got her. Maybe I'll get me a Kristen Bell.' But guys hate my guts for always dating women I have no right to be with.
