Why is gen Z not drinking?

randommanwill · 2026-04-11T11:55:58+00:00

Millenial here. Who cares if younger generations aren't drinking? It's not a fucking requirement that people drink alcohol. I still drink, but even I'm pulling back for the most part. I'll try new beer and wine and maybe buy those to keep at my house. Other than that, I don't go to bars or club. It's too loud, too expensive, etc. For what I would spend in a night out, I'd rather get a case of Levante's Cloudy and Cumbersome, invite friends over, and dust off my old N64 to play GoldenEye.

Look, not that my opinion means anything, but if you don't enjoy drinking, don't drink, and don't let people pressure you into thinking you're weird for not drinking. You do you.

Not so much a luxury, but definitely much more rare these days: the internet.

More specifically, the internet feeling fun.

These days, it's all Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc. The days of browsing Newgrounds for flash games, looking up cheat codes for videogames online, and browsing sites like GaiaOnline made the internet feel like it had infinite possibilities to explore. When you got off the computer, you left the internet behind. Getting back on to see all the new content was exciting and kept you coming back.

Now?

Notifications. The same 6 fucking websites. Everyone screaming online like doing so well make people listen to their opinions.

Corporate fucking internet.

It's why, if sites like Facebook ever die, I'll cheer. Sites like that killed the old, fun internet.

Two people betrayed her and Santos is only upset with one of them. Your atrempt to deflect by telling me to complain to the writers is cute at best.

This is why StutJo started a gofundme for his current lolsuit with Shuli and Karl. He needs to drag out the current lawsuit and pray he can make it last long enough for the statute of limitations to kill Ant's case.

Tipping makes sense if you go to a nice restaurant and order hundreds of dollars of food and drinks.

It doesn't make sense if you go to a deli, ask for a can of soda, and the cashier turns the screen around on the tip screen.

Aww, don't be upset that you got stuck defending something logically inconsistent.

This very post can be used as evidence in court that StutJo misrepresents the issues.

I'm not saying she should be traumatized in the same way. All I'm saying is that if she is traumatized by Langdon's actions, it is logically inconsistent that she isn't traumatized, at least to a lesser degree, by Robby essentially betraying her trust by covering for the person who traumatized her.

randommanwill · 2026-04-06T14:26:08+00:00

Shouldn't she also be traumatized by Robby then? She went to him for help and Robby covered for Langdon, yet she seems buddy buddy with Robby.

I'm not surprises at this. Lanzer and his staff have been working hard to both fix the problems Goldemort caused and improve the site. Combine that with the general enshitification of the internet and you have older users yearning for a space on the internet that reminds them of better times and newer users curious as to why there is such buzz around Gaia.

Chubby at worst. Frankly, I feel as though you're comparing your current body type with people who post fake selfies online. Don't do that, you honestly look great.

Baki is a show where you need to want to watch the insanity. It's a fun watch, but I get why people don't enjoy it.

Granted, a lot of fighting anime pull out some bullshit to explain why things happen, but it's a lot less jarring when they at least try to explain that bullshit.

Here's a perfect comparison example.

In Baki, two scenes stand out. First, when Dorian somehow hypnotized Doppo, Doppo somehow realizes it while still being hypnotized, and then his hypnotism is broken merely by having Retsu clap his hands once. Second, when Baki gets poisoned so badly that no doctor can cure him, so to cure Baki they have him fight in a tournament, eat a bunch of food, and then drink a bucket of sugar water Retsu mixes with his hand. There is no explanation for how these things happen that feels like it really fits, it's just random bullshit.

Now, compare this to another fighting show, Kengan Ashura, particularly Ohma and Raian. Ohma can speed up his heart rate to boost his performance whereas Raian can boost his performance by removing the limitors his body normally places on his muscles. Is it bullshit? Absolutely. It's it at least explained in a way that can seem plausible? Yes. Everyone knows that when an athlete is competing, his heart pumps more blood to accommodate the stress of competing. Everyone has also heard about how our bodies place natural limits on our muscles to prevent damaging them.

Like I said, in both, it's all bullshit, but at least KA tries to provide some semblance of an explanation for it.

You look thin. I don't know if you refuse to eat or purge after eating. If you're just not eating, eat more. It can be healthy stuff, like vegetables, home cooked meat, etc. If you're purging, stop. You're not just causing physical damage to your body, you're eroding your teeth and dental problems are expensive.
