    is it normal to get nauseous kind of quickly with alcohol

    do you go long periods without drinking? it can kind of mess with you the first time you come back to it after a long hiatus.
    the last time was like a year ago, yeah

    Also depends on what you're drinking and how much you've eaten before. Beer goes does easy for me but liquor tends to stir my stomach a bit.

    I have the opposite problem. I can drink large amounts of liquor all night and have no problems, but two beers and I'll be queasy in no time.

    I just love beer because all beer goes together.

    But with liquor, especially if you have a somewhat sensitive stomach like mine, you have to think about what's in each drink you have before your next drink.

    I'd love to be more adventurous in my drinking but the results are rarely good when I do so.

    Not true. There's a lot of nuance to beer. "Beer" is almost as diverse as "liquor".

    Yeah, dude, I know what you mean. The black people I grew up with just happened to be people any healthy person would be uncomfortable around. A real bind, I can assure you. :lol:

    Said people, being almost entirely my family members (my dad's curly hair is why I will get noticeably annoyed when someone points out that I have curls), are probably why I feel more comfortable around black people than white people. :P

    It's funny how this works. I kind of want to not be like my family at all. Sometimes I catch myself doing something like my dad, and I'll just get nauseous about it, even if it's a seemingly harmless or positive trait.

    I find myself realizing that I am very much like my mother in terms of personality. I've accepted the fact that the personality traits we share are going to be the ones that make it very hard for us to get along for periods of longer then 3 days.

    There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.

    The only major thing that I picked up from my family that I do not like that I picked up from my family is an uneven reaction to some things. But part of that just comes from people trying to make me bleed on a regular basis. Otherwise my life is pretty solidly opposite of my parents' lives.

    No matter how much everyone wants to not be like one of their parents, the simple fact of their influence on you growing up is going to mean that you are going to be more like them than you wanted to be.

    i mean at the end of the day, feral, i don't think we have a great deal of control over what we find aesthetically or sexually attractive

    I'm not talking about attraction, I'm talking about repulsion. Those aren't even two sides of a linear spectrum; they're two separate axes entirely. You can be aroused, or repulsed, or neither, or both by a given stimulus.

    my experiences have not been that these things are orthogonal. in fact, i thought that the coincidence of "revulsion" and "arousal" was considered some sort of sexual pathology.

    That explains the entirety of our disagreement, then.

    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death

    I think my desire for a trim quote tree obfuscated my point. I was responding more to everything you have said so far - which I think does lead to that. I think if a person - Will, or whomever - doesn't enjoy witnessing or partaking in a certain act, it does not follow that he is reinforcing his dominance over a subjugated class. Equating distaste with oppression strikes me as incredibly convenient.

    If I said that I can't stand the sight of two men kissing, and that such a thing disgusts me, even though the sight of a man and a woman kissing does not disgust me in any way, would you find it absurd to surmise homophobia?

    I wouldn't think so. Tolerance of a lifestyle doesn't necessarily preclude a personal revulsion.

    I personally have no problems seeing two dudes being casually affectionate, but it doesn't mean that i wouldn't be revolted at watching them bone.

    Oh, I know. I love beer, and am somewhat of a beer snob. But what I was talking about was the way in which all beer mixes well together (in terms of not making you sick) while the same cannot be said for liquors.

    I'm basically the reincarnation of my grandfather, born 24 years in advance. We have the same face shape, body shape, personality, nervous tics, the works. I barely resemble my parents at all.

    It drove my mother insane because she hated her father, so I got a lot of undue shit when she'd get unstable. :(

    But on the other hand, it made me a favorite with my grandparents! So much ice cream and money and delicious meals.

    Oh man, speaking of peeing. Today.

    Scene: public bathroom.

    I enter, there is a late-30s/omewhere-40s guy standing at the urinal. I get to a stall, unzip, pee, zip, wash hands and get out while he's still standing at his urinal. It felt so damn good. I should've said something as I was leaving.

    Yeah, but at a certain point you start running out of meaningful traits to be upset about.

    "Oh no I say 'eh' like my Canadian father oh god I hate my parents!" doesn't really compare to "Man I hope I don't start threatening to cripple people at work when they upset me."

    Speaking of urinals, I am utterly stunned at how often (roughly 99% of the time, not exaggerating) I will go into the Men's restroom at a bar and find a line of dudes waiting for the urinals when there is one available, but it is in between two other dudes.

    There are so many people who have problems with homophobia or personal space or something that they completely refuse to use the middle urinal.

    Nobody wants to look at your junk!

    On the other hand this benefits me because I walk past the line of dudes and use the middle urinal.

    you don't pull up next to another dude at a urinal. use a stall if you have to.

    this assumes that the bathroom is not wicked crowded
