It’s a 3 trick pony - red, white and rosé… sure you could probably differentiate $10 wine with $250 wine with the latter generally tasting better, but the baseline range of flavours is the same. Beer is great since you can drink a lot and get a milder buzz, whiskey and spirits get you drunk more instantly, where wine is an in-between that isn’t very appealing. Beer/Cider/Seltzer/Hard Soda types of drinks and Spirits have a great range of flavours in comparison to wine too.
If wineries and breweries want people drinking more, they have to invest in trains (lol), so that they can serve their product on them and we won’t have to worry about drunk drivers.
You are completely wrong about it being a 3 trick pony. There is tons of variety in wine beyond the color. But I’m not actually here to argue that because I completely agree with your last point. The thing that most often keeps me from drinking is the need to drive home at the end of the night. I don’t want to kill someone and I didn’t want to lose my job (I drive for work) because I went out to drink. So I drink at home which is not a healthy way to drink. So I don’t drink regularly.
If I didn’t have to drive to work I’d walk more which would put me on the ground, passing more bars and restaurants with the option to pop in for a pint and a bite to eat. Then hop on a tram or underground or light rail and head home full and happy. But we can’t have nice things like that in the US because oil rules or politics.
Yeah it’s not like I hate wine either, and characterizing as 3 types I agree is a massive oversimplification. It’s just it has fewer elements that interest me to go out of my way for it compared to craft beer and spirits.
Durov gets arrested in france and suddenly the telegram slander kicks into high gear. It gets a hit piece every once in a while for sure, but the last few days have been on a different level.
You know who else uses telegram? My family, to send vacation pics to each other.
You know what other technology bad guys use? Email.
As an extremely avid wine drinker (and beer and cocktails), I’m good with this. That shit is too expensive. I just got back from tasting in Burgundy, and the range of prices is wild. One bottle from a specific vineyard costs literally $40,000, but a bottle from grapes 15 feet away costs $250. A bottle from a different producer from the exact same vineyard as the $250 bottle might charge $1000.
Can I tell the difference between a $50 bottle and a $250 bottle? Usually. But is it WORTH the difference? Usually not (but sometimes it is). There’s no chance I could tell enough of a difference between a $250 bottle and a $1000 bottle to make it worth it, regardless of me being unable to afford the more expensive one. I was actually afraid I was going to spoil myself from cheaper wine with this trip to Burgundy, but I ended up finding I’m happy with the wines I can afford and have easy access to.
Anyway, I’d be happy for the price of wine to come down.
I mean the UK, America, and France had their own fascist problems in the 30s, see Oswald Mosley and the 1939 nazi rally at Madison Square Garden, and Vichy France’s government didn’t fall out of a coconut tree (nor were nearly enough of them strung up after the war).
Sadly we won’t be able to rely on the USSR this time.
If it wasn’t for FDR we would have sided with the Nazis and never embargoed Japan for the invasion of China. Even then FDR supported the existence of the American apartheid policies.
And in Canada with Alberta looking to replace the hospital management with a corrupt Catholic theoligical institution that bans abortion, contraceptives, assisted end of life, care for LGBTQ community etc. thetyee.ca/…/Smith-Radical-Plan-Privatize-Hospita…
We’re midway through passing the blame torch. Soon they’ll drop the millennial part and it’ll just be “gen Z is killing an expensive or shitty industry how could they!”

Well pretty soon the “they” will be millennials. Boomers are retiring or dying off, and there aren’t enough GenX to fill all the spots. Older millennials are in their early 40s now.
If you own any land that’s all public records (in my area at least). Kinda annoying that you can just go to a towns website and see all of the tax bills with addresses and a map of exactly where that land is.
Damn near everything you do involving the government becomes public records of some sort.
A pretty poor excuse not to vote though. Kinda sov-city like saying don’t get a drivers license at 16 so that you never need to get a drivers.
I don’t, but there’s lots of reasons people do it, there might be additional costs associated with it but everything I’ve heard of it that the person in charge of the trust just pays the property tax like if they were a normal person instead of the agent of a vehicle.
One benefit to a trust it that transfers take place entirely within the framework of the trust, so you can transfer use rights and “ownership” within the trust without incurring the transfer fees and taxes associated with splitting up a plot in the “meatspace” of titles and deeds.
People didn’t like this take because I was talking about Israel and Palestine, but if you willingly engage in a war, you forfeit your right to your land. This is how it’s always worked.
Israel and Palestine is complex and so many hands have been Involved in the size and creation of the state of Israel. Growing the size of Israel through war is not a good idea in my opinion.
I generally agree. I support Israel’s right to exist but there’s no good reason for it to grow. I think it can grow through war though, but also believe it shouldn’t.
Well, if the Ottoman Empire did not side with the Central Powers in WWI, they wouldn’t have lost their land and it wouldn’t have been sliced up and eventually given to the Zionists. Although, the tension was already there and would have probably been bloody either way, just without allied support.
as far as how it always worked, it never even required willingly going to war, just loosing. id bet there are no people on earth that haven’t been conquered and displaced or assimilated at least a bit. many of them hundreds of times. these no such thing as indigenous/native people or land unless you work with a very short memory or have no history.
I’ve said it in a comment before but I can smoke all day and be 100% fine the next day. I can’t drink more than a few drinks without nearly dying the next morning.
Makes more sense to do weed, not alcohol, just to be able to function later or the following day.
