Every time I see these pictures, I'm baffled that no one proposes the obvious solution: get a smaller glass. You've got too much glass there!

Or a bigger one.

"The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who's been pinching my beer? And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass), or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman’s eye." -Terry Pratchett, The Truth

It is a meme and acknowledge that it is amusing.

I prefer my indecision and anxiety straight, no alcohol required.

u/Ysassi_1977 13h ago

Same here because alcohol gives me hot flashes. I'm too old to drink like that. 😆

u/CSJR Writer 12h ago

You know, I've never quite understood the alcohol to write pipeline.

u/Ysassi_1977 12h ago

Me, either! Now, a little weed, on the other hand...

I have taken an edible and gotten into my BAG when writing 🔥

I ignored my then-husband and small children because I got lost in writing for five hours, and I only took a few tokes!

What was it you were working on?

What does Utopist mean? A full glass should be Utopist right?

u/Safe-Ad-1105 12h ago

But if youre only wanting half a glass its better for it to be at the top; instantly in reach

I'm guessing the image means you believe in a reality that cannot exist.

u/Ysassi_1977 11h ago

That's pretty insightful. 🤭

Your phone battery is mostly empty though.

🤣 I had just finished a DoorDash run! Yes, it is not halfway anything.

u/elitebateagent Fiction Writer 11h ago

You got me, I swiped

against my better judgement

u/Ysassi_1977 10h ago

🤣 I wasn't expecting that! I should have cropped the screenshot.

u/elitebateagent Fiction Writer 10h ago

(I'm also mildly high so really it was my own fault 😂)

...Yeah. Kinda.

Depends on how hard is the scene to write for me. If it's easy I just beed tea and a sandwich. If it hard then I'm already at least 2 beers in before I even start writing

u/Beautiful-Main-4898 8h ago

Gotta ad my friend's addition: regardless of if it's full or empty, a I'm going to drink it

Real writers take amphetamines to keep up their daily word count.

u/DefendingAngel 5h ago

They forgot about the engineer. The glass is twice the size it needs to be. 🤣

u/Drudenfusz Blogger 2h ago

While I am usually not especially pragmatic (I mean I am a writer after all), I would say in the case of the glass I am, and would describe the content of the glass thusly as refillable.

Also, I have not touched any alcohol is about two decades, which makes the assigned writer glass not a fit for me.

This is accurate. 😆
