…I’ll always reblog the frog.
Counterpoint: Matsumoto Hoji, active c. 1875
That’s a compelling counterpoint
Cannot believe I am seeing people getting their tits bent out of joint about a man taking his daughter into a women's room. That shit was like, completely normal when I was a kid. We really have taken a flying leap backwards as a society into the Cootie Zone
"Men don't belong in the women's room" is in fact a subordinate social imperative to "children should be kept an eye on so they don't get hurt" and especially when you're talking about a toddler, most men's rooms don't have changing stations or suchlike. Morons
It should really not go without comment that afaik this is a black man taking care of his daughter, racism is a factor in people making a big stink about this and I'm not really gonna let the ~daughters of the witches you couldn't burn~ forget that their actual grandmothers probably got pissy about integrated washrooms
Finally watched the Addams Family Values recently! and honestly. my main takeaway is
Debbie slays. And Joan Cusack is a QUEEN
Joan Cusack has never appeared in a film that she did not steal.
And as for Debbie, I will always repost my stance on her end.
I’ve said it a million times - if Debbie had listened to what the Addamses were saying in response to her tales of woe, she’s have realized that they understood completely. She had found her people, and was too wrapped up in herself to realize it.
If they could have, they’d have burst from their bonds, hugged the stuffing out of her, bought her a Bentley (and a vintage Ballerina Barbie) and declare her an Addams.
She could spend the rest of her life trying to kill Fester, and he’d love her all the more every time she tried. And the rest would keep offering helpful suggestions. “No point in trying poison, Debbie my dear - he’s been putting strychnine on his cornflakes since was seven”.
i love when fic writers who have clearly never tried any kind of alcohol in their lives try to write someone drinking bc they're always like
"he ordered a tall glass of hard liquor. after three large glasses he was feeling tipsy" like babygirl i can't be sure but i think u just sent this man to the hospital
"the amber liquid tasted sweet" bestie i can assure you it did not
There’s a lot of resources out there about this but I’ve got nothing better to do so here’s the down low on safe and stupid drinking if you’re too young or too abstinent to know what’s up from experience or nobody ever taught you.
Drunkenness:
How drunk you get depends on your body weight, your hormones, how long it’s been since you drank, and the number of drinks you have. One drink is roughly one 1.5 oz/50ml shot of hard liquor, one standard 12 oz/330ml bottle of beer or hard cider, or 5oz/150ml of wine.
This website has a calculator that can tell you roughly what a person’s blood alcohol content will be based on their information.
Here’s also a rough chart about it:
If a smaller person is going drink for drink with a larger person, the smaller person will get drunk much much faster.
If a person reaches a BAC of 0.4% or higher they’re either dead or in extreme danger of being dead.
Taste:
Pure alcohol itself has no taste but when in drinks it can make things bitter and gives a burning sensation to the mouth and throat. The more alcohol percentage in a drink, the more it burns. Hard liquor like vodka or whiskey burns a lot and some people hate the feeling of it while others like it.
Beer and cider have a low alcohol percentage so they barely burn at all and in fact a lot of fake beers taste really similar to real beers because of this.
Wine burns a bit and can be gross if you’re mostly used to beer. As a rough rule, the cheaper the wine, the lower the alcohol content and the sweeter it tastes. White or pink (known as rose or white Zinfandel) are also generally sweeter and less bitter than red wines.
Beer is mostly gross to people who hate bitter things. Lagers are less bitter and stuff like Guinness, IPAs, and other dark beers are a lot more bitter. As a general rule the lighter colored it is, the less bitter it is but this isn’t universal.
The taste of cocktails depends on what’s mixed into it. A Long Island iced tea, for example, is a very dangerous drink because it tastes sweet and nonalcoholic even though it has five shots of liquor in it. A whiskey sour or gin and tonic on the other hand, still taste like alcohol. Just adding water to whiskey can take enough of the bite out of it that you can accidentally drink too much.
Hard cider tastes like alcoholic apples. It’s delicious. I can’t think of much to say about it. It’s usually similar-ish to beer in alcohol content.
Safety:
A bartender will cut a person off from ordering more drinks or kick them out if they can see that the person has visibly been drinking too much and is a danger to themselves
If your character is savvy about alcohol safety while waiting for an ambulance to come pick someone up they’ll put them in the recovery position also known as the Bacchus maneuver which involves putting the person on their side in a certain way that prevents them from choking. You can find instructions on how to perform it online.
A person experiencing alcohol poisoning will often be visibly confused, vomiting, and could possibly have a seizure.
A person conscious about their own safety while drinking will know their limits from experience, drink water in between drinks, and will probably have eaten beforehand because eating beforehand slows down how fast you get drunk. A person drinking on an empty stomach will get drunk fast.
A person drinking a lot without water will likely become very thirsty and dehydrated even if they don’t drink a dangerous amount.
Both of these people will pee a lot. Like a lot. Alcohol makes you pee a lot whether you’ve been drinking water or not.
How it feels:
Every person reacts to alcohol differently. But basically it lowers your inhibitions and might make you sleepy. For some people this makes them loud. For some people it makes them quiet because they’re aware that they’re drunk and are overcompensating.
Generally to get comfortably buzzed a person will drink two or three drinks depending on their body weight and then drink about one drink an hour to stay just a little tipsy.
There is no way to sober up other than waiting. Drinking coffee while you’re drunk will generally just make you both drunk and hyperactive.
Some people can act sober while they’re drunk. These people are still feeling drunk. They’re just good at hiding it. It is not safe for them to drive no matter what they tell you.
If you fall asleep after drinking the following sleep will be restless and a little bit unsatisfying. Some people don’t get hangovers. Generally the older you are the more likely you are to get a hangover but this isn’t universal.
Hangovers usually involve headaches and feeling lethargic. A fatty breakfast of meat and eggs or avocado toast might help. It might not. Painkillers and drinking more water might help. It might not. The hangover might last all day or it could just last an hour or two.
Drinking more will make the hangover go away but this is also alcoholic behavior. Which is useful to know if your character is an alcoholic I suppose.
TUESDAY AGAIN NO PROBLEM
congratulations to me and my funny dog that i drew 8 years ago for getting a million notes
It's so wild how many grown adults can't grasp such a basic concept like "if you are nicer to strangers they will usually be nicer to you in return"
I work a job where I interact with the public. If my customers are nice and pleasant I will bend over backwards for them. If my customers are unpleasant I will do the absolute minimum as required to not get in trouble. I'll never not do my job, but by god I can and will do the bare minimum.
wish i had a bit going where whenever i said "the prophecy" like three of my friends would repeat "the prophecy" in different tones while squinting into the distance and rubbing their chins like sages deep in thought. i would also do this for them, im a team player
