alcoholic beverage breakdown

nobodysuspectsthebutterfly

euclase:

I had a disturbing exchange with a high school-aged person today that prompted this…

Beer, wine, mead, and cider are fermented beverages.

Mead is made from honey.

Cider is made from apples.

Beer is made from grains.

Beer tastes like beer because they flavor it with hops.

They used to flavor beer with dandelions.

Ain’t that cute?

All beer is either ale or lager.

Ale is fermented at room temperature.

Lager is brewed and store cold.

Barleywine, bitter, porter, and stout are ales.

Pilsner and bock are lagers.

Most of the crap people drink in America is pale lager.

Mosft of the crap people drink in Ireland is dry stout.

Butterbeer isn’t real.

(Except actually I think it is, and I heard it tastes like cream soda)

Miruvor isn’t real, either, but it probably would taste like squash.

Ent-draught isn’t real, either, but shit, it would be awesome if it were.

Wine is made from fermented fruit juice, usually grapes.

Red wine is made from red grapes.

White wine is made from green grapes.

The name of the grape is the name of the wine (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot are all varieties of grape)

Unless you live in France.

In which case, the name of the place supersedes the name of the grape.

(for example: Burgundies are made in Burgundy, France, but Burgundy wine can be Pinot Noir or Chardonnay)

Champagne is any sparkling white wine.

However, Champagne can also be wine that comes from Champagne, France.

Drink red wine with beef. Drink white wine with fish.

Act like it tastes good.

Keep a Diet Coke in your bag for later.

You’ll be fine.

Brandy is distilled wine.

Cognac is brandy aged in oak barrels.

Don’t fuck around with the French about their cognac.

Fortified wine is wine with added alcohol.

Sherry is fortified white wine made in Spain.

Port is fortified red wine made in Portugal.

Vermouth is fortified white wine plus grape spirits.

Sweet vermouth has added sugar.

Dry vermouth has added spices like nutmeg.

Liquors are distilled spirits that contain ethanol.

Liqueurs are liquors that have sugar and flavors added.

Liquors can be made from grains, fruits, or vegetables.

Grain alcohol is liquor made from grains. Duh.

Gin, Vodka, and Whisky are grain alcohols.

Vodka is grain alcohol and water.

Be careful with vodka. Homemade vodka is poisonous.

Gin is (basically vodka) flavored with juniper berries.

Absinthe is (basically gin) flavored with anise.

Whisky is grain alcohol aged in wood barrels.

Malt whisky is made from barley.

Grain whisky is made from all the other grains.

Scotch is whisky made in Scotland.

Bourbon is Kentucky whisky mostly made from corn.

Don’t fuck around with the Scottish.

Don’t fuck around with people from Kentucky, either.

Tequila is liquor made from the blue agave plant.

Rum is liquor made from sugarcane.

Schnapps is liquor made from fruit “must” (smashed fruit that still contains seeds and skins).

American schnapps is grain alcohol mixed with fruit flavors and sugar syrup.

Drink apple schnapps only while playing Tekken 2.

Sake is rice wine that’s brewed like beer. Or something.

Avoid these cocktails: Grog, Long Island Iced Tea, Manhattan, Dark and Stormy, Jack and Coke, Piña Colada, Scorpion. They contain huge amounts of alcohol and/or a huge number of calories. That Long Island Ice Tea is the worst motherfucker of the bunch. Just avoid them. Have a lemon drop martini instead.

Don’t drink on an empty stomach or you’ll puke.

Don’t drink too fast or you’ll puke.

Avoid Long Island Iced Teas. Like I said.

Don’t drink and drive because you might kill my Mom. You fuckers.

If your friend has had too much to drink and needs to crash, make sure she’s lying on her side so she doesn’t choke on her own vomit.

Don’t leave a drunk friend alone.

Passing out is a sign of being severely goddamn sick. If someone drinks and passes out? They are dying right now. Call 9-1-1.

If you are drunk, don’t drink coffee or caffeine to get sober. Sip cold water and nibble some saltine crackers.

Don’t be a fucking idiot. Don’t smash my mailbox.

Really, do you need to drink?

You probably don’t.

But now you know some stuff. Maybe.

Signs you fucking with Humble Hood Dick (HHD)

Thank you to @super-sortahuman for the term HHD.

Y’all fucked for 6 hours and this person still smells like dreams coming true and Axe.

They NEVER warned you about their stroke game and when you finally experience it, you almost ask them to marry you, TWICE within the hour.

They don’t kick you out afterwards and actually rub your back and ask if you hungry or want something to drink.

If you do decide to leave, they walk you to your car. Like….

Your homies had to convince you to go to work the next day and not pull up on them ass naked with canned fruit and gummy worms.

You sent a “good morning” text with a nude, your social and Hulu Plus password.

If they asked you to have kid, there would be no questions asked.

They don’t brag about the dick game and that’s how ya ass got caught off guard.

They told you they had a bad day and you went outside and flipped ya middle finger up at the sky while yelling at clouds because your good Humble Hood Dick had a bad day and you feel like it’s the universe’s fault. Bonus if you asked the sky why good dick has bad days.

Every time y’all have sex, you can’t remember details of your childhood all of a sudden.

You cry just thinking about another person having access to your HHD.

HHD will fuck away your car note and still take you out to eat afterwards.

Y’all can actually laugh at stuff and be goofy during sex.

HHD is soooo pretty! Looks like it got its own coconut oil regime.

Most importantly, Humble Hood Dick does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 HHD does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Amen.

Understanding important distinctions between criminal sociopaths and psychopaths

Today in white people: Gentrification is coming for Black churches now.

This won’t be cute because I’m mad as fuck. Thought I should put that disclaimer upfront before you keep scrolling and get your feelings hurt.

If you are a white 20something from Elsewhere, USA moving into a densely populated metropolitan area where the rent is cheaper in an “up and coming” neighborhood, and you decide to take the larger apartment on the brown side of town so you can have more space for your bike and your art projects at the expense of displacing Black and brown people, the least you can do is respect the fact that these people were there for decades before you and have their own customs and way of life. If you feel the need to start calling the cops every five goddamn minutes as soon as you move into your Victorian in Oakland or your Brownstone in Bed-Stuy you are actual fucking garbage.

Y'all, these assholes are calling the cops ON BLACK CHURCHES for making too much noise during choir practice and hosting parties at night ON THE WEEKEND when you’re supposed to have a party anyway. I’m so sick of reading about white people in brown spaces who don’t give a fuck about the neighborhoods they’re invading like a plague of locusts.

dodgylogic

alwaysbewoke:

In the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, the researchers describe three experiments that provide evidence backing up this assertion. The first two featured 94 and 91 white Americans, respectively, who were recruited online via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.

“Participants completed two ostensibly unrelated surveys, the first regarding beliefs about inequality in America, and the second about childhood memories,” the researchers write. In the first, they were asked the degree to which they believe white people have “certain advantages minorities do not have in this society.”

Half addressed this touchy question cold, while the others did so after reading a paragraph describing the reality of white privilege in such realms as academics, housing, and health care.

The “personal memory” questionnaire included five items addressing hardships, including the assertion “I have had many difficulties in life that I could not overcome.” Participants expressed their level of agreement with each on a one-to-seven scale.

“In both experiments, we found that whites exposed to evidence of white privilege claimed more hardships than those not exposed to evidence of privilege,” the researchers report. In other words, evidence that their race was an advantage prompted white people to move toward a victimhood mindset.

The final experiment, featuring 234 white Americans from a national online pool, found “people claim more life hardships in response to evidence of in-group privilege because such information is threatening to their sense of self.” What’s more, “these denials of personal privilege were in turn associated with diminished support for affirmative action policies—policies that could help alleviate racial inequity.”

Altogether, the results suggest “[white] people may accept that in-group privilege exists, but change their perceptions of their own lives in order to deny the role of systemic advantages in their success,” Phillips and Lowery conclude.

In other words, to deny the affects of white privilege in their lives, white people will immediately drum up stories of hardships they’ve gone through as if to say that they themselves made it through hard work NOT because of any systematic advantages for whiteness or systematic disadvantages for non-whiteness. It’s the lie of meritocracy that America has been telling the world for centuries and whites have a personal stake in believing it because without it they would have to admit that the bulk of their entire person is based on lies. Again, truth is not really America’s (or white America’s) thing. The threat to their core belief (which is based on lies) is what white people feel when confronted with evidence of white privilege. It’s that cognitive dissonance that Frantz Fanon talked about in “White Masks”

Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn’t fit in with the core belief.

What I find “humorous” is that white people always accuse Black people of “playing the victim” but yet they are the one who play victim the moment they can use it to deny the truth of white privilege. To deny truth, they quickly play the victim. Black people don’t play victim. We are being targeted and victimized for the benefit of whiteness and yet still we stand, fight, produce, live, love, laugh, smile, create, contribute and more. We simply speak the truth about how we are sinned against (to quote Ida B. Wells). Truth doesn’t create victims but for whites, they roll out that victim card to protect and perpetuate lies. That’s despicable but that’s white fragility for you tho.

What’s sad is when Black people (and other non-whites) join in with and back that bullshit. They’ve been so brainwashed into thinking “white is right” and they are so desparate for white approval that they can even see when bullshit is being fed to them and they just repeat it like trained dogs. That saddens me most of all.

PLEASE READ!! AND REBLOG. THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN

makupwaanasa

So not only do white people think they are superior but they also think that they have suffered MORE throughout history and their lives. That sounds about right to me.

alwaysbewoke

white people want to enjoy all the social, political, economical and territorial benefits of being an oppressor AND they want all the sympathy, support and encouragement that the oppressed get in their struggle against oppression. they want to live as victors but be seen as victims. they want it all ways always.

eclipsebykimlipmp3-deactivated2

it’s funny because those that are actually oppressed get no sympathy from them

Welp. There’s a few folks that need to see this. :|

I don’t know how I feel about this but the more articles/studies that I read about how whites feel no or less compassion to black people in pain, or white fragility, or THIS article, the less and less I want anything to do with them. Like, I find myself not wanting to go to certain places or avoid events and functions purely because I just don’t want to be around a whole bunch of whites.

The disturbing part is the more information I have about their thoughts and psyche, the less I want to have anything to do with them. I don’t know if ignorance is bliss but when I knew less about this sort of stuff, I was more apt to hang out with them.

Nowadays I pretty much view every white as a potential harm to me physically and mentally.

‘White Cognitive Dissonance’ needs to be a term. Honestly if I’m not in a public space with white strangers I’m okay, but now I’m more anxious in regards to what they think. Like, white people I KNOW and may be friendly with become ever more suspect (it’s not like they never were- when I say I think white people are racist until they actively prove otherwise, I mean that), to the point that it’s like, I’m thinking to myself “you smile and laugh now but you think I and other black people are totally blowing this out of proportion, don’t you? You think we’re fucking exaggerating!” and that is a very painful and angering thing to be aware of. Think back to any discussions about race you’ve had with them, the way they start to weave that ‘well yes this happened but x y z happened to me, too, it’s not about race’ bullshit. And I’ve KNOWN certain white people for years who, once BLM came up, showed me how cold and racist they were underneath it all. Idk it just makes one a bit more wary.

Not to be rude an all, but less than 400 people in a study does not an accurate representation make. Like… C'mon.

aboutsocialjustice

I’m really intrigued by the way the opted to word some of those option statements within the research, because it would allow such a huge path for z variables. My first thoughts that come to mind is why some of those childhood questions are just being dumped away as filler questions. There might be an interesting correlation between socioeconomic instability while growing up and the acknowledgement of privilege.

I get that the point of filler questions is to make the person taking the survey not realise what’s going on, but the procedure itself doesn’t do much to hide out that they’re researching about privilege and inequality, which doesn’t really offer a blind testing atmosphere which kinda leads me to feel iffy about the results.

My biggest concern just go back to the survey items, as they are what make or break a paper. The paper doesn’t lay out the limitations of its own survey items, which always exist within a research paper. The survey items don’t serve its purpose in terms of being clear and concise; if I could get my hands on those childhood memories, or their economic stability growing up, the conditions in which they’ve grown up in in comparison, or anything related to those categories in which I could get a clearer answer - I would be rather appreciative.

However, this study does nothing but raise more questions in terms of why they chose to leave out their potential limitations, the fact that they will have z variables within their research that they should have addressed and maybe even explored, and the fact that the life hardships survey items are so seemingly half-assed.

Moreover, the way they use correlation in terms of stating their point within the discussion makes it sound more like causation than there is correlation, which is a major faux pas in the psychology and research field. How are you going to use “Correlate” and “prerequisite” in the the same place without making it sound like you’re insinuating to a causation that you haven’t quite proven with shoddy survey items?

This research could have been highly informative. It could have explained an array of questions to several people about the structures of systematic privileges and their ways of affecting lives. However, in my opinion, it falls short in terms of actually explaining why white people do what they do - especially with a small number such as 400 to represent millions of people within the U.S. alone. The whole discussion after the results are simply presumptuous in nature and don’t flesh out the survey answers well with the reasons I gave above.

You’re never going to get an accurate picture of this until the exact same studies are done the other way around. Tribalism is not unique to one race, the generalities that apply to white people invariably apply to every other race as well. This reminds me of that guy going on about “Neanderthal cave beast toilet seat complexion individuals” having no capacity for empathy whatsoever because of a misunderstanding of how mirror neurons work, unwittingly using the exact same logic that caused the very things he hates white people for.

This is being used to dehumanise a demographic, to claim that they are sociopathic, violent, unfeeling brutes that pose a risk to you with their very existence. Crimes committed by a small handful of people (not exclusive to any one race or sex) in a position of power (you know what they say about power) in one country are being used to represent an entire demographic world-wide and when they are told that it is their responsibility, their fault and that they need to apologise for it or otherwise flagellate themselves, of course they’ll be defensive. Recounting hardships when confronted with another’s experiences is not demonstrating a lack of empathy, quite the opposite in fact, more often than not it is saying “I understand and here’s why”. I was never sure if it was an aspie thing but whenever someone was upset or worried about something that had happened I would empathise by mentioning a similar experience I or someone else had gone through, it’s a good way of trying to figure out solutions as well. I guess I’m half sociopathic subhuman beast though because one of my parents is just a little too pale for their humanity to be recognised.

For most of you above, your responses show that you are the ones lacking empathy. You see someone being confronted with situations they had no hand in creating and expect them to apologise for them, or claim responsibility or recognise that it’s just not the same when it happens to them because they don’t feel things the way we do. I don’t see how anyone could naturally come to that conclusion. They are empathising in the way most humans do, by showing that they understand. How do most people understand what something is like? They experience it. Ergo they would demonstrate their understanding by sharing their own experiences. If this was the other way around, you would be using that as an example of their superior empathy. That’s the problem with studies, you can make them mean literally anything. Then claim that your interpretation of the results applies only to groups you don’t like

Whether or not that is actually what the study says, it’s what you lot are saying. That someone listing their own hardships in response to being bombarded with situations they are being collectively blamed for, that are being used to deny their humanity, demonstrates sociopathy on their part. There’s only one group of people justifying bigotry, labelling a demographic as a threat based purely on uncontrollable physical characteristics and spreading fear here.

I grew up in a very poor family. I had to as a young child go to a food bank to pick up food for my family, I remember multiple times growing up were we couldn’t afford to pay bills so I’d have to go to school dirty since we couldn’t pay hydro we had no hot water and I couldn’t have a shower to wash I had to boil water to bathe. Growing up I lived above a bike shop, in a hotel, and at the house of someone who was an old friend of my parents growing up. I’ve never owned clothing first hand. When I got older I remember having no friends in one of my elementary schools in grade six, it was fifth one I had been to, where none of the kids would talk to me since I was too poor to own an ATV. I’ve been physically assaulted by cops because they thought I was going to rob some place since I looked too poor to have any business in a certain part of town. I barely know my parents since they spent most of the time away from my house working leaving me alone with my siblings the oldest which is only 4 years my senior. I could never play any sports, they were too expensive, and I worked my hardest at school. I currently live in a Habitat for Humanity house and barely have enough to go to university even with my job. I know my life was still pretty good, there are tens of thousands of people worse off than me however, if someone came up to me and said “You had an easy life you’re white.” You better believe I’d be pissed at them.

alwaysbewoke

nothing like the white tears of white people who grew up poor and white who think whiteness didn’t give them any advantages because they were poor. mmmmm delicious ignorance.

that’s like me saying that because i grew up poor, being a male, able bodied and hetro gave me no advantages over a poor, female, disabled gay person. again, delicious ignorance. so tasty!

so much delicious ignorance in all the replies above. we got a slice of “white people are the victims in tis study” with a side of “do you expect them to apologize” and “not enough white people were surveyed! that’s not fair”… i’m full!

Did you know J. Marison Sims a.k.a “The Father of Modern Gynecology” USED AFRICAN WOMEN DURING SLAVERY FOR SURGICAL EXPERIMENTS? Sims medical experiments on black women created a cure for “vesicovaginal fistula,” which allowed him to detect and cure illnesses such as cancer before it became deadly. He did not provide the slaves with anesthetic or medicine to numb their pain during these procedures, and if one of them died from complications or excessive bleeding, he simply replaced them with another slave. Because slaves were not seen as fully human and considered “private property”, it was completely legal for slaves to be subjected to all sorts of violence and medical experiments. Learning about these horrific things makes my heart heavy, but I refuse TO HIDE THESE HISTORICAL FACTS. I will NOT allow my ancestors brutal experiences to remain unnoticed just because some people feel uncomfortable when the history of slavery is discussed. I also want people to understand that slavery wasn’t just about people being raped and forced to work for free for 400 years. The MOST devastating thing about slavery was the PSYCHOLOGICAL TERROR that blacks endured. Nothing compares to being kidnapped from your homeland, sold and treated as “property,” having your families divided for a lifetime, raped and brutalized to the fullest extent, used as medical experiments, and experienced psychological terror everyday for CENTURIES. Many African-Americans STILL SUFFER FROM POST TRAUMATIC SLAVE SYNDROME. ALOT of people are UNAWARE THAT SLAVERY WAS LESS THAN 150 years ago, which is NO MORE than 3 generations ago. The transatlantic slave trade started in the 1400s and slavery legally ended in 1865 in the U.S.. That is over 400 years of social engineering, brainwashing, and terror that blacks have endured. This dysfunctional behavior has been passed down from generation to generation, and unfortunately it is going to take MORE THAN 150 years to properly reverse this mindset. Blacks NEVER received psychological therapy AFTER they were legally free. They were just forced to “get over it” and “move on,” and of course we all SHOULD KNOW about the horrors of the Jim Crow Era, AND racism today. Blacks really never had a chance to reinvent themselves because they have ALWAYS been under attack in America. I REFUSE to ignore or downplay my ancestor’s experiences. STOP allowing others to tell you how to feel about YOUR HISTORY, especially since it plays a critical role in our condition as a people TODAY—economically, socially, and mentally.

I received great advice from Dr. Patrick C. Graham, President/CEO of the Urban League of Central Carolinas, Inc., yesterday that everyone can benefit from, no matter where you are in your journey. He said, “Preparing yourself for opportunity is being prepared for opportunities that come when you least expect them so you need to be ready.”

We all start in the same place: no money, no resources, no contacts, no experience. The difference is that some people — the winners — choose to start anyway.

I am ready.

The stereotype that black people don’t tip absolutely has to come from the fact that people see white people as individuals and black people as a collective. They see the white people that don’t tip as assholes and the black people who do tip as exceptions, likely to the point that they don’t notice how similar the proportions are. I say this because nobody tips worse than white women from LA and white people of all genders from the Midwest and South. Nobody.
