Can we just declare this thread the hole where culture war garbage goes and mods can agree to dump it here when other threads get derailed?

Between this and the learning curve thing, I’m not sure you’ve been reading anything thoroughly.

Making decisions off of emotion *might* be a bad thing. Having an involuntary emotional response is called being a human being. I didn’t say anything about making decisions. I said that people will feel a way about something. And if that way is “offended” then that’s ok.

Like being repulsed in a gory horror movie. It’s called people feel the way they feel.

Why? Seems like whenever pushback happens, eventually you or some other anon starts to delcare "close the thread!, close the thread!" I say let it run its course. Read on you might learn something.

Oh, got to quote this one. This is a winner. Go back and read what I said about it. AlOfff. That's my new handle for you now.

You and I could probably have a civilized discussion about politics or culture war issues in person. Let's not kid ourselves that dunking on each other with echo chamber talking points is going to produce anything remotely resembling "learning something." My point is actually to keep this open, leave it as the wild west of APC and let the other threads remain somewhat on topic.

Good point although your doppleganger agrees with me. ;)

Social media is a soul sucking detriment to humanity. But it is like a train wreck.

As soon as I saw this thread, I knew it wouldn’t disappoint…

Since this is a beer thread, anyone in ATL area should give beer from Georgia Beer Company a try. I picked up two different six packs from the local Total Wine. Both were pretty good. Never heard of them, but apparently out of Valdosta.

Any other craft beer recs around ATL? Or maybe on layovers?

Two of our now retired pilots have breweries on the north side of ATL. One is called Stillfire Brewery in Suwannee, the other is Reformation Brewery. I've had both of their IPAs and they are very good. I'll try to post a link to their sites in a few minutes.

I'm waiting for CX500T to open a brewery. He's posted in the past how he does his own, and from what he's posted it sounds like he's making some really good stuff.

But yeah sure the stock down almost 40% in 5 years has recovered and everyone has forgotten lmao.

you do realize they make other beers than Bud Light…right? Probably not because most boycotters don’t care about facts. Lmao.

Any chance they brew an AGE 67 IPA?

The can brew an Age 67 Gose. Make it a little extra salty. Then brew a Retire Old Man Mexican Lager. Buyer beware, it's a pepper beer so it'll be a little extra spicy.

See which one sells best

All this Bud Light, concern about whether someone sits to pee, etc is just a distraction so we don't get together and collectively ask questions like:
  • How is it some people can deduct $1 billion on a $100,000 investment? (depletion exemption)
  • Why is it hedge funds managers can consider compensation a long-term capital gain taxed at about half of what we wage earners pay?
  • Why is it that billionaires mostly pay no tax, unless they are dumb enough to liquidate equity to buy Twitter?
  • Why not just let AIG Financial Products division go bankrupt and settle with Deutchesbank & Goldman Sachs?
Instead, we are upset about stuff that doesn't matter.

  • Why is it Texas just killed a woman by denying a medically required abortion of a non-viable fetus? (both now dead)
Instead, we are upset about stuff that doesn't matter.

CAn you do anything about any of those other than "sak questions"? Nope. And we can't do anything about the stupidity of the advertising department at ImBev... but it is fun to argue about.

Twitter was being used as an informational weapon. Elon bought Twitter to save freedom of speech. He believed “Cancel Culture” was becoming a virus to society.

You can't really believe that, can you? Elon's been personally nuking Twitter accounts that annoy him since he took over.-

This! It will never end until we quit talking and making a big deal about it. Racial tensions are the worst they have been since the 60s, fueled by the divide and conquer crowd. I wish we would stick to being an airline.

According to the AP, if you capitalize the "w" in white, you're a white supremacist.

I wasn’t going to weigh in on this dumpster fire. You run in some odd circles if you haven’t heard negative feedback on men playing dress up and invading women’s spaces.

trying to conflate the budlight brand with the ownership of the manufacturing company is a big brain move. If bud light completely fails brand wise and sales move to modelo (sp?) and mich ultra can we expect you to pretend savvy customers were suddenly overwhelmed by range of products abinbev offers and just accidently abandoned bud light because there were more inclusive beers? Im sure you can pretend but will anyone believe it?

Weapon?

Civility and respect for the law are virtues.

I listened to the clip you posted. What is happening to Elon as he ages without anyone in his life to moderate his inclinations is sad.
