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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

Sure, and if we normalise not snorting things you don't like the smell of people would do less cocaine!
Or maybe that's not how substance abuse works. As someone in treatment for addiction who forced my DOC into me to the point of serious pain... You're being ridiculous. Alcohol is a drug. People who drink to excess are not, as a rule, concerned with how their drinks taste. If someone is drinking A Lot, they don't give half a shit how it tastes. "Acquired taste" isn't the problem here. Someone realising after multiple tastings that actually blue cheese tastes good has less than nothing to do with people drinking to excess.
i'm talking about before people have the opportunity to become addicted. if you think your first beer tastes horrible and you don't have a culture of forcing yourself to like things to fit in and people taking "nah i didn't like that" as an answer and not pressing you about it then you don't have 17 year olds drinking until they like it and then crashing a car.
yeah once somebody's already an alcoholic it doesn't matter and they'll drink the worst cheapest swill but how many people could've just abided their first impression and never developed a problem?
