It's fine to hate popular things, but don't ruin other people's fun.

Also: don't drunk drive.

[โ€“] Nosavingthrow@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If light criticism is ruining your fun, I don"t think critics are the problem

[โ€“] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think this is more for the random person that attacks people for being fans of things eg adults attacking adults because they like Legos

[โ€“] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

I used to be the kind of person who hated anything popular. And in Texas country music has always been popular. So I mercilessly mocked anyone who enjoyed it. "So is your cousin any good in bed?" "What has 103 fingers and 32 teeth? The front row at a Garth Brooks concert." I have dozens of jokes about being stupid, inbred, toothless, smoking cigarettes, going to Walmart, and other stereotypical things associated with being a country music fan.

I'm still not a fan but sometime in the last 10-12 years or so I stopped giving a shit what anyone else liked. If it's not for me but it's not hurting anyone I just don't care if someone likes country or pop, movies with popular actors, wants to dress in a way I see as weird, likes food that I don't enjoy, or whatever.

I wish I could go back and change it because I know I made some people feel bad for enjoying what they like.

Edit: fixed a word.

"What has 103 fingers and 32 teeth? The front row at a Garth Brooks concert."

That's pretty good

[โ€“] Nosavingthrow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

To be fair, garth brooks is for people with questionable taste. If the person making the music ISN'T inbred, I don't want to hear it.

[โ€“] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Garth Brooks was my personal Jesus (aside from Jesus) as a southern tween/teen, but I still have several bones to pick with him, among them Chris Gaines/The Lamb and a particular Walmart-exclusive concert at which I was the only attendee in my little town, making me feel even more like a total ass. Oh, and this. Yeeeeeah. But deep down I'm still pretty sure I'm gonna be in his band one day. And then usurp him as the new Garth.

in my experience, culturally, drinking one (1) 4.8% ABV 33ml can of beer in Europe is drunk driving

Drinking two (2) 6.2% ABV fl oz (946ml total) glasses of beer and smoking weed in the USA is not drunk driving.

Not defending it, just saying that it was eye opening how many people in the US get behind the wheel after drinking what they consider a small amount of alcohol

[โ€“] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 30 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Probably also doesn't hurt that the US is generally far more reliant on driving to get anywhere. There's a higher tolerance for doing it dangerously since there's no alternative

[โ€“] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When I suggest taking drivers licenses away, my fellow Americans act like I'm suggesting the death penalty.

I used to live way outside of town and there weren't any night buses on weekdays, so I got a moped at 15. I just didn't drink at all when I hung out with friends on weekdays, even when I turned 16 and it became legal, because I had to drive. It wasn't hard to do and nobody batted an eye. So, the alternative is not drinking. Having no alternative transport is a poor excuse for drunk driving.

Legally speaking in the USA anything after the first is driving while intoxicated/under the influence (different states use DWI or DUI).

Working in the booze biz you are sadly correct though. I had a wine rep a few years back offer to pay for my parking in NYC if I went to a tasting. I told him I was taking the train and he was surprised. He shouldnโ€™t be.

[โ€“] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You really don't need to swallow at a wine tasting. In fact you'll be able to taste a lot more without starting to affect your judgment if you don't.

[โ€“] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Even spitting you still swallow a bit. Most in the trade spit at tastings into the spit buckets. Youโ€™ll be fine trying 5 wines in an hour but I would be tasting dozens of wines for hours. It adds up after a while.

driving while intoxicated/under the influence (different states use DWI or DUI).

I thought it was a matter of severity, with DUI being over the limit but not obviously impaired and DWI driving while there's no doubt that you're drunk, leading to more severe punishment?

That is not my understanding though I am not a lawyer.

Yeah. You're not gonna find many Swedes getting behind the wheel regardless of alcohol amount. There used to be a HARD stigma against it, since we know what happens. People used to get so drunk that we had to create a state monopoly of alcohol sales, in an attempt to reduce it. People argue about the actual effect, but i know that it's cultural suicide to get behind the wheel drunk. The legal limit is 0,2 ppm alcohol.

The Danes however... They could drink 3 halfliter lagers before reaching the legal limit of 0,8

[โ€“] ArcaneGadget@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Danish limit is 0,5 like most of Europe. Most people here have a rule of thumb of 2 regular beers.

[โ€“] teslasaur@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My bad. I mixed it up with the uk. The danes actually never had a limit until 1998 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

There's a time factor as well. One standard drink per hour will keep a normal sized adult below about 0.05 bac almost indefinitely.

[โ€“] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In NL you are allowed to have 0,05% of alcohol in your blood, which is about 2 Dutch classes. We often server 0.2L glasses these days, it sucks ...

https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/verkeersveiligheid/vraag-en-antwoord/mag-ik-met-alcohol-op-deelnemen-aan-het-verkeer

And waith you can have almost of litre of beer in your blood and it is still not drunk driving? Yeeeez, especially considering the US is a shit place to walk or bike. No wonder why there are so many drunk driving accidents

to clarify I am speaking "culturally" not legally.

Most people go out for drinks and drive home.

Edit: tangent point the above image in the post reminded me of.

For every person who thinks they're interesting for hating a popular thing, there's ten who will be like OMG YOU THINK YOURE SO SPECIAL AND BETTER THAN EVERYONE when you casually mention you don't particularly care for a popular thing.

I hate a lot of popular things. But thats just cause im a cynical asshole

[โ€“] Nangijala 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is so true. For example, Werner Herzog hates the French language, despite speaking it fluently. He once had to regrettably speak French when he was held at gun point by drunk child soldiers in Africa.

Pretty uninteresting guy, I'd say.

[โ€“] t_berium@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (6 children)

I hope this is sarcasm. Herzog is a fascinating guy, even if you don't watch his movies or read his works. Just watch any interview with him and you might be surprised how interesting his views on things are.
