She's the only one who looks fun enough to date...

[–] [email protected] 42 points 11 months ago (1 children)

wow. maybe because the others arent looking to date. because they are engaged/married

I mean, by nature of the photo, she’s being set up to look cool. The others are all doing one thing, which is essentially bragging (in a sense. It’s a tradition based on judging/measuring wealth of the one who gave them the ring), while she is self-aware enough to look like she’s poking fun at herself, while also proving she’s above the tradition on display.

This is a one-photo story where she’s set up to be the hero. Not to mention the color differences, the others have their hair down/done while she has her hair pulled back. It’s almost too-set up to make her look awesome.

Where my beer nerds at.

Can we ID that label?

Looks ballast point-y. Given general sales and color... Is that a sculpin? Perhaps grapefruit?

That's my vote

Edit: yeah it's gotta be sculpin. Diagonal fat orange-ish fish. I see enough pink to presume grapefruit and not regular or habanero..

I'm counting like 12 pixels in the original pic but hot damn I think you got it. Well done.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Damn well done dude I think you're right

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Real beer nerds wouldn't admit to knowing what a Ballast Point looks like since they got bought out by AB like 10 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Real beer nerds would know they got bought by Constellation (Corona, Pacifico) not AB InBev.

Real beer nerds would also know that Constellation sold them to a group of Brewers (Kings Convicts) in Chicago 5 years ago.

Grapefruit scuplin came before the buyout. So there'd be no shame in recognizing this era of their branding even if you were right.

Don't try to out beer-nerd me, Holmes! Homie don't play 🤓

These comments are terrible.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For real. Disappointing to see all the weird misogyny & judgements on these random woman.

Even the ones being positive towards one of the women only do so by putting down the other woman.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

And also by judging whether or not any of them are cute/dateable. Awful stuff.

Sometimes Lemmy feels like a subscription to r/incels...

Purple? Did you misspell lavender?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Lavender is darker. That's lilac

Being Awesome

That's not a goal but the reality.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Sure, why not?

You may break up whenever you want actually and achieve your goal

Jfc why does Lemmy hate beer so much? I guess it's because many Lemmings are socially isolated, giving them fewer positive associations from using alcohol in a social context within their own lives. But maybe the international users are also a factor; people of European extraction are significant outliers compared to the rest of the world when it comes to beer consumption.

Edit for clarity: Europeans and North Americans drink a lot of beer compared to other regions of the world, so maybe it's more common to be like "ew beer" in other countries. In my personal experience, even people who don't drink aren't usually bothered by casual consumption, but maybe that's because I come from a country with a relatively high rate of alcoholism.

Lemmy doesn't hate beer, it hates women. You think they'd be going on about a guy drinking a beer in a picture?

I'm Canadian, I like beer... we all like beer here. Like what else are you going to drink, water? Gross.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Water? Fish crap in it you know.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I've used that one as "Water? Never touch the stuff. Fish fuck in it, doncha know?"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Like from the toilet? Eweh.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

What do you mean? 3 liters of beer a day keeps sorrow away

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

? I live in Europe and beer consumption is insane here. Though I hate the taste of beer.

Looks to me like she didn't know what else to do in the picture so she'd take a sip then 🤔

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Or they all collectively thought this was hilarious and set it up. Why would three friends line up to take a coordinated ring-shot with their friend who isn't engaged?
