Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

I am not really practicing muslim anymore but I tried beer and didnt like it lol.
yeah it usually tastes bad. idk how people delude themselves into liking it.
Taste is subjective, it's the same with all sorts of things. It's like coffee, some people hate the taste, some people will only drink it with milk/cream/sugar, and some people like the taste of coffee all on its own. What tastes delicious to one person can be disgusting to another, both are correct.
Edit: people can even have preferences within categories of drinks. Sticking with the coffee example, I don't like darker roasts because they just taste burnt to me, but medium/light roasts have a better flavour. It's similar with beer, personally I'm not a fan of domestic beers like Coors/bud/Molson but there are other beers that are pretty tasty, but again it's to each their own
Having to explain the difference between subjective tastes and objectivity to children who haven’t yet developed theory of mind and think their immediate visceral reaction is fundamental truth is kind of hilarious. My five year old niece is more mature and understanding of other mindsets and tastes than the people in this thread
Never thought I'd see
over something as simple as "different people like different things"
At least it's not the usual "if you don't like spicy food then you're a kkkrakkker"
