I completely understand that a union helps protect workers. But all the time, I hear about silly things that people/companies can’t do, because there is some union rule.

Some people don’t like the bitterness of beer. That’s why I prefer it ice cold

Logic only works when all other things are equal. Groups of people in the world are NOT treated equal. Therefore, they act differently. People who are oppressed should not be held to ALL the same standards as everyone else. For example, take a kid who is bullied as school. Every day he’s elbowed into the lockers in…

I’m not saying that individual people are more powerful because of some inherent trait. Just that societal prejudice has placed certain majority groups (men and Caucasians) in positions of power over others. Therefore, individuals of this majority are more emboldened in disparaging the minority, because they know they…

Hell hath no fury....

Come on - its a fact that the rules are different depending on who’s in power (which is normal). Certain things are inappropriate when the majority does them, because they have the power behind them and there is always an implied threat. Those who aren’t in power have more leeway because they don’t have the power to…

Oh god, I realized I was doing this recently. I was ranting on Facebook about how people should price their crafts for sale (despite the fact that I don’t sell products myself and have NEVER run a business). And someone pointed out how inappropriate this was, and how bad it looked because I was a guy and most of the…

Oops, yeah I moved that decimal point by accident. But still, it’s only a .8% difference in overall alcohol between Bud and Bud Light. Hardly much of a difference.

Here’s the thing for me: They all taste pretty much the same. I mean, yeah, there’s some slight different flavors, but they’re all the same bitter tasting alcoholic drink.. It’s like coffee. Different coffees (without sugar or cream) might have different subtle flavors, but it’s all pretty much the same caffeinated…

I just want to drink, not contemplate the economic and social implications of my beer. I don’t want to “search hard” to find another beer that’s gonna taste just like a different kind of bitter alcoholic drink. And It’s not my job to support craft brewers. If they make something good enough for people to buy, then…

You don’t quite understand percentages do you? Yes 20% more, but only .08% additional alcohol overall, in relation to the entire bottle.

That’s actually a good point. I’ve not really noticed a difference in alcohol content with most ‘craft’ beers.

Thanks, but I’ve had stout that people described as ‘sweet’, and it was still bitter. To me, ‘sweet’ is something like a soft drink. I think I just have a sensitivity to bitterness.

Hey, you don’t like it, don’t buy it. I love trying out the ‘pumpkin spice’ beers every Fall. Sure, lots of them are hit-or-miss. But sometimes you come across some gems. Anything to overcome the overwhelming bitterness of beer itself

I don’t know how anyone can ever describe beer as “sweet”. I’ve had beers that people describe as sweet and it tastes just as bitter as every other beer

The alcohol content of Bud Lite is 4.2 vs 5.0 for regular bud. Hardly much of a difference.

For me, and lots of others, I think I taste bitter flavors more than everyone else. So basically, the bitterness of every beer overwhelms every other flavor. I’ve had beers that people claim are not bitter, and they taste just as bitter as everything else. Maybe that’s the difference between beer lovers and crappy…

Seriously , people can tell the difference? It all pretty much tastes the same to me!

You only drink one or two beers? How do you get a buzz off of that? it takes me at least 3 or 4. And yes.. that’s why I drink beer.. to get a buzz. Lets face it, all beer tastes crappy. It’s all a bitter, piss colored, alcohol delivery system. Some of it is less bitter, some of it is bitter with other flavors, but its…

The challenge with this is, that to have those 5-10 meaningful conversations, you have to meet and chat with a LOT more than 5-10 people. And I have no interest in 99.99% of those people.
