Yeah I've spoken to enough young people who watched the prequels first that I no longer begrudge them their nostalgia.

I just don't share it, and that's ok. I'd rather define myself by what I enjoy than what I turn my nose up at.

Speaking of, have you heard the good word of Andor?? It's the best thing to happen to Star Wars since greebles!!!

you mean like they ignored the part of me asking what a "star trek purist" is? maybe you can shed some light on that.

lol i HAVE heard the Good News! XD

life is just a lot more fun when you enjoy stuff rather than hate stuff.

the OT, i love it, i grew up on it, it has some really naff bits in it. XD this just IS Star Wars. the cornball stuff was baked in from the beginning.

Critique of media is so fun! It's the clannish obsession with fighting over the objectively "true" instance of a piece of media that's so tiring.

Though I agree it's small potatoes, and usually just a proxy for generational or class fielty divisions.

Yeah at the slow paces outside you're more likely to get dehydrated than drunk.

Idk, 10 liters of beer a day is kinda hydro tho

You take this shit so seriously that I think you are having some issues.

My actual response to someone so cynical and unable to relax and banter about hobbies and fandoms is to block them. Bye.

I literally gave you the name for it, just put it on PubMed

And I've seen people like that in parties. Several times in my life, it resulted with ER visit. Said people are younger than me and already look drunk even when sober, while others who enjoy the occosional beer after work are fine their entire lives.

Did not realize how much lemmy defends alcohol, and I'm from East Europe where I've seen more than you'll ever read online.

Burn the heretic!

you keep responding but i'm taking it seriously

Yes, but you won't be okay with the two hour treadmill sessions after drinking 100 beers.

Generally most consider a "beer" 355ml (12oz us) give or take.

I don't care why people "downvoted" your post before the edit but I did it because of the edit.

I remember watching the X-files sometimes in the noughties and Mulder came up with a deduction; "it must've been two men...nobody drinks two six-packs alone" and I just cracked up.

12-pack was like a medium for the night, 24 a heavier. Plus bars usually. (Finn here.)

0.33 in Nordics. Then also 0.4, common bar serving, and 0.5l can and full pint, 0.568l cans.

But "a beer" in the Nordics would generally be 0.33 from a can and 0.4l from a tap

Edgy. I like it.

This isn't about "defending" anything. Alcohol is a dangerous substance. And most people here know that.

That said your level of fear mongering is extreme to say the least. You sound like someone telling everyone not to go within 1km of an ankle deep pond because they'll drown.

While possible in both cases to get permanent brain damage or drown. It is extremely unlikely on a winning a large lotto level.

Almost all people will pass out or start throwing up, long before they get near that level. Especially if they are not already an alcoholic with huge tolerance.

Source: 20 year hard core binge drinking alcoholic (20-30 drinks a day or more). That has been in the hospital 6 times for withdraw myself. And in rehab multiple times with large groups of other extreme alcoholics...

Edit: I strongly suspect most (if not all) those you thought had that condition were actually under the influence. Daily drinking alcoholics are extremely good at both hiding it ( oh I have to go to the bathroom) and lying about. They will tell you straight to your face they haven't had a drink in weeks after you just caught them drinking a beer.
