This week discount shopping I got delicious cake!
>>78919022
Oh shit, bread.
>>78919022
fuck thats cheap for delicious looking cakes
do you knwo how much they are normally?
>>78919022
>Cake
Enjoy getting fat so I can jiggle your flabs.
>>78919048
Around twice that. I buy a lot of half price stuff. Sometimes even 70% discount.
>>78919066
I was losing weight being on a healthier diet and exercising daily by riding a bike everywhere but them I found out how to get discount bread and I recovered most of it so I'm back a bit of chubby. I still not fat and I hope I can get healthier again when I stop being busy and have more time for physical activities instead of spending all day sitting on a chair.
>>78919092
is just an end of day thing where all the freshly baked shit is no longer fresh and gona get thrown away?
or is it like this stuff that was made a week ago is about to expire?
>>78919126
Expiration date seems to be pretty strict so "expired" cake is just a few days old and still pretty fresh. The day before when the supermarket was about to close they were with discount but not half price. In the next day, they were with half price around lunch time.
Each store have their routine and knowing it allows you to buy stuff with greater discount.
That said I don't plan to buy that much cake at once any time soon. I just got an opportunity to try different types of cake to find out which ones I like best.
>>78919022
literally 400 calories per slice for every piece of that shit. Check any asian market for comparable.
It's insane. If they didn't work themselves to suicide they'd all be fatter than we are.
>>78919184
>Expiration date seems to be pretty strict so "expired" cake is still pretty fresh.
;_;
>>78919271
The difference is that japs eat one slice a day, and don't drink a litre of soda to it.
>>78919281
I drink coffee with my cake thanks
>>78919276
Ironically I couldn't get any cheap christmas cake after christmas. I looked for them but couldn't get any half priced christmas cake all the christmas cake was still more expensive than I thought I could get and in the end I got none ;__;
>>78919271
They are not fat because they walk/ride a bicycle everywhere and usually don't stuff their face with cake. Unlike me, in the first day I ate 1/4 of that and them shared with a friend who ate 1/4 of that too and I ate 1/8 while we talk and more 1/8 latter. Now that I already tried all flavors I'm a bit more moderate so I will be less of a fatfuck for the next days. So exercising is the only thing preventing obesity I hope I can get healthier when I get more free time again.
>>78919331
Just sayyin.
>>78919184
Lucky. My supermarket only ever has discount fish they sell at the end of the day.
>>78919362
in fairness I used to drink an absurd amount of soda.
these days it's coffee
>>78919362
And them some idiots come saying how rice is unhealthy, empty calories, blahbluhbleh while ignoring the obvious thing that Asians eat lots of rice and little soda and are not fat while amerifats drinks lots of soda and little rice and are fat. Yeah, rice is the problem. People ate white rice for thousands of years and obesity was never an issue like today, suddenly people start chuging corn syrup all day and tries to blame stuff that was around way before landwhales became a problem.
>>78919369
The thing about supermarkets here is that the price of fresh products fluctuates wildly every day. The same item can be 50% more expensive depending on the day with no relation to expiration date. I think this is made to stimulate impulse buying. It is pretty obvious with products like bacon that don't spoil easily.
Honestly, I like her "dogs" shirt more than her students shirts.
>>78919466
Since this is /co/ I assume everyone except me is american but I have to ask is this supermarket in america.

>>78919863

>>78919379
I need to make that switch too. I've been trying to give up alcohol since November, and I've managed it by switching to soda. Sure, I'm not blackout drunk most days, but I'm downing sometimes 192 ounces of soda (three fuck-huge gas station cups) a day to compensate.
>>78919379
>>78921095
What's wrong with all of you? Just drink water.

>>78921095
Nigga you're gonna get so fat. When I first went to uni i pretty much swapped out all water in my life for carbonated drinks.
I used to be a mr skeletal, now I'm not. I'm not fat, but its alarming quite how quickly I put it all on
>>78921156
I do. I drink like two large bottles a day between sodas. But water gets boring as fuck. I can't drink it all day long. Plus, I really need the caffeine.
>>78921095
Try coffee or tea for caffein and slowly reduce on sugar.
>>78921176
I'll meme you, faggot.
Drink your damn water.
>>78921095
I gave up on soda completlybut then i started working in a place with vending machine everywhere and it's been hard to resist
>>78921156
>Water
>Not tea
>>78921156
Sometimes weird habits get picked up, when I was a kid I used to drink nothing but tea because I saw Cabin Fever and was terrified of a flesh eating virus being in the water. My parents eventually staged an intervention by driving up to a cabin and forcing me to drink the tap water or die of dehydration.
She isn't drawing herself as cute anymore.
Dammit, Mary-senpai.
>>78921259
Yeah, extraneous circumstances influence our dietary habits a lot. I've had a nasty stomach bug over Christmas time, barely ate and only drank water and tea for like 3 weeks, which resulted in me losing like 7 pounds and pretty much not touching Soda anymore, so i'm actually kinda happy, even if I had to miss out on delicious Christmas food.
>>78921233
>But water gets boring as fuck.
Food doesn't exist to excite you. It exists to keep you alive. If you crave something sweet just eat an apple or make some tea.
>Plus, I really need the caffeine.
Stop doing drugs. Swapping one for another is zero progress.
>>78921222
Oh I know. I'm not delusional. Like I said, I gotta switch to something else. Part of my problem is that drinking something is an addiction for me. Like, the act itself. I can give up the booze, but I need to drink something else. Like how smokers say the ACT of smoking is more addicting than the nicotine because of the oral fixation.
>>78921244
Not much of a problem there, since I don't like sugar in my coffee at all. It's just hard to have coffee on hand. Especially because I like ice coffee. It's difficult to brew it and chill it throughout the day.
>>78921274

Cold brew coffee, look it up. It's pretty concentrated, so just get a thermos of that and mix it with some water when you want a cup. Don't even bother with the expensive premade stuff.
>>78921310
You make concentrate then just add more water when you want a drink. It should last you at least a couple days.
>>78921364
>>78921367
I've never heard of that before. Okay, I'm going to do some research and get on that. Thanks!

I found out the safe combo after trial and error (do not use dates that can be guessed for your safes, by the way), no fault of my parents and I did get beat to heck once he found out I moved it. Kids will get into shit they shouldn't and his teaching me firearms safety is probably what stopped me from killing the toilet. He replaced the safe and changed the combo becasue we lived in a rough neighborhood where cops had a tendency to always show up after shit went down so it was probably more secure with it in the house than not.
>>78921576
I like exploring the city on a bike and now that the city is covered in snow it burns even more calories. I just don't have time to spend many consecutive hours cycling to random places.
>>78921156
I drink plenty of water. Doesn't mean I don't wanna drink other stuff. Just water is boring.
>>78921642
Punch yourself in the gut while you drink. It won't be boring then.
>>78921674
Wouldn't be enjoyable
>>78921642
I drink juice or eat an orange. I only drink sodas when there is a new limited edition one that here is all the time but even then I choose which one I will try and don't drink again since I like juice better. Also my stinginess works in my favor since I only buy when the product is considerably cheaper than normal so I don't buy sodas/juices unless I find a really good deal.
>>78921702
>drink juice
Don't do this. Juice is not better. It's the same thing as soda, they just don't carbonate it and put pretty pictures of fruits on the box.
>>78921699
Masturbate while drinking.
>>78921702
>>78921743
Truth. The only way juice is "healthier" than soda is that it comes with a few vitamins, but you're honestly much, much better of just eating a piece of fruit since you get the fiber that has been removed from the juice.
To drink juice without downing mass amounts of sugar, dilute it with water. It still tastes good and your water becomes less boring.
>>78921743
>Don't do this. Juice is not better. It's the same thing as soda
No, it isn't, unless you are talking about kool-aid stuff. Of course it can have as much sugar as soft drinks but it also have vitamins, antioxidants and fiber and those components count. Also carbonated drinks are full of sodium.
Rice is not unhealthy, neither are fruits, they have been consumed by our ancestors since the first human on Earth.
>But modern fruit have been selected to have lots of sugar bluhblehblah
There are plenty of wild fruits rich in sugar and even the domesticated ones have been consumed for centuries.
Real juice is way better than coke but of course anything in excess is harmful, even water or oxygen.
>>78921862
Reading labels don't means you are a nutritionist. Just means that you have basic literacy. People like you are the same ones saying how rice is unhealthy because it is mainly carbohydrates and have no idea that even the addition of vinegar like in sushi rice, fat or animal protein affects how it is processed and absorbed affecting how your blood sugar level is raised and if it will induce your body to store the excess of sugar into fat or increase your metabolism.
>>78922260
>>78922174
What is it with you and rice? Nobody ever sad anything about fucking rice. Calm the fuck down about rice.
>>78921156
If I have one of those flavour shot stuff, I can easily put down 2 litres.
>>78922174
The vast majority of store bought juices are full of more sugar than you ever need, whether it be added or from concentrate. You're better off eat actual fruits; getting full will keep you from guzzling more calories than you need, and you'll get just as much vitamins and then some.
Just don't drink juice. Eat actual fruits, drink water, make your own juice if you must. But do not buy juice.
>Also carbonated drinks are full of sodium.
Still not a significant source. The sugar from it will kill you long before the sodium. You wanna know what's full of sodium? Ramen packets. 1000+mg. That shit is toxic.
>>78922294
I'm tired of all the people who think they know about nutrition because they can read labels.
>>78922431
That doesn't explain your rice fixation. Everyone else is talking about juice and soda.
>>78921156
I remember when my mom used to beat it into me that I should just drink water. I never got why she was so obsessive about that.
Now I understand how many people also need that beaten into them.
>>78919022

It must be tough living in Japan. Having to choose between wanting to stay trim and not be sneered at as a typical fat american, and wanting to pack on the extra pounds and have guys secretly lust after your ample curves.

You can't really model a universal "you" as the implied reader of the message in so many words.
You end up with a big, clunky explanation to convey the meaning and implication in Japanese.
>>78921261
Yes, water. Delicious, mineral rich natural water with no carbonation.
>>78922576
If you can't into food, you shouldn't be allowed to buy food at all. Just go out and catch it yourself.

1. here juice is cheaper, and I just drink it occasionally it have been more than one week since the last time I drank juice
2. Of course eating fruits is better but it is not always possible, well, I eat free samples when I go to the supermarket...
3. Yeah, ramen are full of sodium, I use them when I'm really tired and have stuff to do. Probably the sodium raise the blood pressure keeping me more alert caffeine helps too but it have limits and shorter term side effects when in excess.
4. Sodium doesn't kill you unless you go overboard with absurd amounts. The problem with all those things are long term effects.
>>78922641
>with no carbonation
Whoa, let's not get crazy now
>>78922460

>>78922890
>If you think bread is empty calories, you don't eat bread.
I don't think that. I think those people are annoying and have a simplistic view on nutrition.
>>78922685
Three cups of ramen a day is too much sodium, and that's assuming you ingest nothing else during the day.
A single slice of bread is 200mg.
A bagel is 500mg.
A serving of cheese is 150mg.
Just salting/seasoning your food is likely to add 100-300mg a serving.
It goes on and on. Sodium is in surprisingly large quantities in everything we eat. You only need 2300mg a day at most; slapping on 1000+ from a cup of fucking ramen is a wholly unnecessary excess. It won't even fill you for all it adds.
I had to regularly deal with high blood pressure problems because of that shit. Just don't deal with ramen. Fuck it, fuck it forever.
>>78922928
Believe-me. A girl that knows how to produce herself can make miracles. Right hair, right accessories and right make-up. On the other hand getting all wrong can do the opposite effect.
>>78922890
Water with carbonation. The flavoring is just an option for sweetfags
>>78922685
I don't understand how people survive on just those ramen cups/packets. I have to add veggies, meat, tofu, and/or eggs to actually make the meal filling.
>>78918854
I love that "SNRRK" Sound she's always making.
It works even better now that she has a nose.
>>78923036
At that point, why bother with the ramen? Just buy a cheap pack of noodles and season them yourself.
>>78923006
>produce
Yes, but at the end of the day polished shit is still just shiny poo.
>>78923062
Ramen is for sad, sorry people who don't know/can't afford to cook actual food. Do you think such people will own seasonings?
>>78923062
I don't buy ramen anymore because of that. I make it from scratch. Tastes better and in the long run is much cheaper anyway.
>>78922988
>>78923036
Who said anything about three cups of ramen? That was just a number for lines, not for amount. I rarely eat them either but keep them for when I have nothing else, don't want to cook or really need the salt to stay awake and get shit done.
Also the balance between sodium and potassium is more important than the amount of sodium and Japanese rice is rich in potassium and uses no salt in cooking.
I'm so happy I have a healthy diet.
>>78923089
Fair point. Though it's something I can't understand. Seasonings aren't that expensive, they last forever, and even boxed shit like Hamburger Helper can use extra flavor.
>>78923124
You probably only shit once a day or something and lack proper fiber in your diet anyway.
>>78923100
I'm just saying it's very easy to go overboard when ramen is part of your diet.
And I hope you don't use soy sauce for anything.
>>78923141
Miso paste is a godsend and it lasts almost literally forever in the end.
>>78923162

>>78919276

>>78923141
Cooking your food is always cheaper but somehow pre-prepared quick meals are still a big thing among low income people. Probably the lack of time is a big factor too.
>>78923162
I chew on ADSS fiber daily
>>78923179
I use it. I cook a good portion of my meals, the other portion is discount stuff and occasionally I eat fastfood/instant ramen/other junk. My only problem probably is my sweet tooth but I can manage the extra calories well if I have time to burn them. I should stop wasting time on 4chan. 4chan probably is my unhealthiest habit.
>>78923240
Lack of time is the biggest factor. I often work really late and that makes it a pain in the ass to cook a real meal.
>>78923204
>>78923204
You're looking at 500-1000mg of sodium in a tablespoon. Probably unwise to have that every meal. And with the shitty ramen...I hope you're eating a lot of bananas.
>>78923338
I don't eat ramen. I just use soy sauce with white rice.
>>78918940
>>78922641
More specifically, you sort of CAN, but it's tied up in that "ga" participle mess that even the japanese can fuck up, like you need to make the context someone and then have them question who someone else is... it ends up being a mess.
>>78923314
Cook once, store for the week.
I personally cook something small every night cause I hate microwaved food, but when I had to work 40+ hours a week I just made a fuckton of food on sunday and stored it.
>>78923036
When I make ramen I fry it and put it in bread. I don't have it often, but it's wonderful when I do.
>>78923395
That's not a bad idea, actually.
>>78923355
You're still looking at 1500-3000mg of sodium a day if you have three meals of just rice (not even counting what's in the rice), and that's assuming you control yourself and use strictly one tablespoon a meal.
>>78923338
Sodium is only dangerous in the event you don't drink water, have a sedentary lifestyle and/ or have a history of high blood pressure. The AHA even says that sodium isn't that bad for normal people and the 'recommended daily intake' is taking into account a large sample size and geared towards elderly.
>>78923395
I make curry, it freezes well, you just have to boil it well before serving. So I cook a large amount and freeze it in individual portions so I can eat once or twice a week for two months.
>>78923417
That looks terrible. Why would you even want noodles on bread?
>>78923162
Is shitting only once a day a bad thing? Sometimes I only shot once ever two days...

Nope.
Many products are so cheap in mass production, it is almost impossible to make them yourself at even a comparable price.
I can get a salami pizza for around 90 cents and just bake it in the oven.
I can't really justify making that on an economic basis.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are also quite expensive compared to sweets and starch products.
However, the overworked and underfed workers of Central Europe have long lived off little money and little time with a diet based around whole-grain bread (today often with seeds, nuts and other ingredients) and pickled/canned vegetables. Also beer, but with clean water that is a minor concern.

I was raised in a tropical country, don't have AC, hate the heat and love subzero temperatures. While Europeans complain about the cold I complain that it is not cold enough as the snow melts every week making things more slippery and wet.
>>78924283
And I thought I was the only one. I was born and raised in Southern California and moved to the midwest partially to escape that shitty sunny weather. And to my disappointment, I found that winters aren't really that bad in the Rockies. It's pretty warm (30 F) most of the time and the snow is relatively rare. And fuck summers, they can get up to 90. That's what I was trying to get away from!

I would suggest moving to Sweden or Norway, if you can. Mild summers and long winters await.
By your standards, continental Europe might suffice, though. The permanent bright daylight in summer and total darkness in winter are certainly a shock for anyone from the equatorial area.
Currently you might want to keep your hands to yourself in Europe. People are getting jumpy.
>>78925019
Hokkaido is cold not much because of latitude but because of currents so you can get cold winters but still have sunlight. Just get in a mountain for extra cold.

Labels are the only weapon we have in a war against food companies that are constantly trying to deceive us with propaganda, fad diets and rumors about homeopathic remedies.
Don't tell a fat person to limit their sugar intake because a spoonful of vinegar will increase your metabolism or whatever. There may be truth to what you're saying but simple solutions need to come before complex ones. Don't optimize small details before you even have good habits in general.
>>78925497

Man, fuck the cold. You don't realize how well you have it until you leave it. I moved from Florida to the fucking arctic tundra late last year and I hate it. This sub-zero temperature bullshit is awful. I haven't felt warm in weeks.

I went to Florida and hated it. It was hot, sunny, and there were people and sand everywhere. I never want to be there again.
>>78925626
I just miss going outside without 4 layers on and enjoying the sun. The days are so short. And it gets so cold at night. My furnace hasn't been working right. I wake up to high 40's in my apartment. I'm freezing up here. If I go out somewhere, I always have to wait for a good 10 minutes in my car before driving due to the ice that's formed on the inside of the car covering every window.
>>78925497
What I'm saying is that you don't have the right knowledge to interpret the labels. Food and the human body is more than the sum of all components. By reading label only people like you reach the conclusion that rice, bread, and noodles are unhealthy empty calories that are absorbed fast and turned into fat when they are completely wrong.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12792658
I am exactly against all those fad diets made by people that only read labels and can't interpret them and adopt the diets that have been tested for hundreds of years in many cultures. And no paleofags, you don't know what caveman diet was like. Scientists are still discussing this shit.
>>78925626
Dunno, this year it got pretty cold.
I was happy to have my coat with me.
>>78925709
In hot climates I try to not leave home at day as much as possible as it is too hot going out at night mostly. Here with all this subzero temperatures I can go out at any time of the day.
>>78925709
For me the issue is with cold weather, I can get warmer. I just add more layers until Im warm enough.
With hot weather, there is jack shit you can do after a certain point. Eventually you are on your bottom layer or just fucking naked and then if its still too hot, well sucks for you.
I find it much easier to sleep in cold weather than hot weather for the same reason.
If I had the chance I'd love to visit the more rural areas of Japan. I hate big cities, but I love being next to the sea.
>>78925782
Yeah, fuck hot weather! I'm almost naked laying on the floor and still sweating. and I can't leave home almost naked. I have always enjoyed cold much more.

I would advise against traditional Japanese diet.
There is a reason they were like 4' when Europeans came over.
Also eating habits have changed over time a lot.
Most information of what Europeans have eaten in their daily lives before America was discovered and Asian plants imported is sketchy at best.
>>78925817
Come to Northern Europe, then.
Enough sea to go around for all the no people.
>>78925874
>There is a reason they were like 4' when Europeans came over.
Protein they started getting taller as more protein was added to their diet, they still have low obesity rates but it is increasing as their diet is becoming more and more westernized
Mediterranean diet is another one that is fairly good. Hell, even Inuit diet that consist of large amounts of fat and little vegetables is better than American diet and the Inuit get fat and with heart problems if they shift to western diet.
>>78925874
Eh, I don't want to visit Europe though.

Everyone is different. I went to Florida once and I will never go back if I can help it. It was miserably humid. I'd never experienced that before, and it was the worse weather I'd ever dealt with in my life. It may as well have been raining every single day for how fucking drenched in sweat and ambient moisture I was. I'd take your arctic tundra any day of the week. At least that's dry.

So if you eat a quarter cup of white rice by itself, two hours later, your blood sugar measurements will have increased by approximately 30% more than if you eat that rice with other foods. Okay fine, whatever. The problem is that you have to communicate ALL of that information to someone when you tell them that "white rice is good for you". Specifically, that they should only eat a quarter cup of white rice.
Most people aren't at that stage of improving their nutrition. They're thinking, "I drink soda three times a day. How do I cut out soda from diet? I know, I'll just drink apple juice!" For these people it is very helpful to have labels that tell them that apple juice has nearly as much sugar as soda. It makes no sense to denigrate people for reading labels at this stage of improving their health. The first step to eating healthily is to monitor how many calories you take in.
The Japanese are healthy and live long lives primarily because they eat small portions of white rice with lots of fish and vegetables, not because white rice has good synergy with vinegar.
>>78926080
I don't like beer. I tried Guinness once and hated it, let alone other beers.
>>78926016
To me hot is the worst, 0C with rain is the second worst, the rain and wind negates the insulation of your clothes unless you get impermeable clothes and them the moisture condenses and your get sticky/soggy/cold, stable -5C~-10C is the best. No sweating like a pig, your clothes actually protect you from cold, snow that falls on you can be shaken away in seconds. Freaking cold is the best!
>>78925977
The Inuit diet traditionally had a decent amount of plant sources seasonally and obesity and heart problems coincided more with the decline of traditional Inuit lifestyle rather than a shift to a western diet; they've had ready access to western diets for a century.
>>78926055
That shouldn't even be possible. Like, the air shouldn't be able to contain enough moisture to register as humid. Are you sure you're not living in some layer of hell?
>>78926127
That was just one example of many. Food is way more complex than just how much of X is in there.
The body also is complex, getting 500 calories of candy doesn't have the the same effect as 500 calories of bread or rice even if they are basically 500 calories of carbohydrates. Your body is not simply a machine where you add and subtract the numbers in the labels and believing in that leads to erroneous conclusions and decisions. There are people who dedicated many years of study to understand how everything interacts but instead people listen to the mass media and the mass media listen to the charismatic hack with the newest fad diet.
>>78926186
I would post the studies but I have to go, so bye.
>>78926130
>Guinness
I said beer, not islander piss.
>>78926130
Guinness is an acquired taste. You gotta find a style of beer you like.
>>78926130
There's a lot of different kinds of beers. And Guinness is a really unique thing. I'm not even sure if it actually counts as a stout. Try an IPA or a lager.
>>78926343
I'm not saying that the body isn't complex. I'm saying that studies involving 50g of white rice are useless to someone who is trying to make the decision between drinking apple juice and water.
I agree, different types of food interacting with each other can have different results. But saving 15g on white rice because you ate it with vinegar isn't going to help someone who eats 300g of white rice.
Simple solutions come first. Only when you are eating reasonable portions can you worry about combining foods to maximize synergy.
>>78921233
I highly recommend getting a carbonator--fizzy water hits much the same tactile button as soda, but without the calories.
>>78926475
That could work. If I get some of those flavor shot things that would add flavor as well.

>>78926431
>I'm not saying that the body isn't complex. I'm saying that studies involving 50g of white rice are useless to someone who is trying to make the decision between drinking apple juice and water.
You are missing the point. that study is not to solve all questions, it is just to point out that things don't work by simple association.
But saving 15g on white rice because you ate it with vinegar isn't going to help someone who eats 300g of white rice.
Yes it does. They studied with 15g because they needed a specific measurable amount for the study. The meaning is that the glycemic index can't be calculated just with the isolated components of a meal.
>Simple solutions come first
Just eat how people used to eat. This last century lifestyle changes that made people fat, not foods that have been available for centuries. You don't even need to know how to read for this.
>>78926756
Cocytus, I believe.
>>78921540
>No pronouns
That's pretty cool. How many "statuses" are their in Japanese grammar? Like, is it all just junior, senior and equal?
>>78926757
I agree that things don't work EXACTLY by simple association. But there are some simple associations that are always true on a broad level, one of those being that a high sugar intake makes you fat and puts you at risk for a wide variety of health conditions. You think there never was a study about the effects of eating a lot of sugar vs not eating a lot of sugar?
The problem with your example is that it is DECEPTIVE in its scale. Yes, it is true, things are not as clear-cut as "rice is empty calories". However, people don't communicate the actual scientific conclusions of nutritional research. In practice, these studies become the basis for fad diets... just try the "rice and vinegar diet", eat all the rice you want and you'll lose weight because vinegar interacts with rice!
It's true, you can't rely on any one study to draw meaningful dietary conclusions. It's better to base your diet on widely drawn conclusions from numerous studies, for example: "Don't eat a lot of sugar." DAMN, that's hard though... how will I know how much sugar is in what I eat? Oh yeah... LABELS.
>>78926757
>Just eat how people used to eat.
people ate in a thousand different ways that we know of and many more that we don't. And even then you might end up forfeiting genuinely good things because they weren't around in the past or eating poor foods for the same reason.
>>78926923
>statuses
Do you mean honorifics?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_honorifics
Or modes of speech?
Modes of speech are a grammatic discipline especially important to Japanese.
You can be informal, neutral or formal as well as additionally use self-depreciative and honoring modes, depending on the status you and the addressed have relative to each other.

>>78928203
Well there's your problem. All of those are fucking shit. Christ, Bud, Miller, and Natty Ice don't even count as beer. Go to a bar and try some local brews. Or if you don't want to do that, go to a halfway decent restaurant and try something imported. For the most part, if you can buy it at a supermarket then it's not a good beer.
>>78928203
So colonial piss. You come try some of the good stuff.
But if you are in Asia, let me think.
Sapporo is tolerable, Saigon red label was pretty good, green was not my taste but at least identifiable as beer, Chang is a surprisingly good beer and Cambodia makes an okay draft in my experience.
No idea which of those are available near you.
>>78928322
Speak for yourself. I found Paulaner Salvator in a Texas supermarket and that stuff is amazing, if exceedingly strong without a hearty meal.
>>78928203
Guinness is a good one. Unlike the others you've named, it's a darker beer and had a heavier, maltier flavor than the others you've named.
What was it you didn't like specifically about those beers though? With the rise of craft beers, there are hundreds of flavors available outside the big breweries, and while they'll be more expensive on average, the alcohol content will make up for the price and you can often grab 12-pack brewery samplers on sale for a good value.
I for one love imperial coffee stouts (heavy, dark, malty, bit of coffee bite), and my fiancee favors sours (light, fruity, very sour).
Beer has a history almost as long as our species, don't let people tell you the big breweries are all beer is.
>>78928203
I like Sam Adams and Blue Moon, but the rest are fucking awful. The best beers are either Belgian or local microbrews.
What about diluting juice? Is that horrible for me?

>>78928203
Try some Leffe Triple
It's sweet and got a hell of a kick
For lager try Jupiler or GrolschNever Heineken
>>78928669
Juice is not horrible.
You just get too much sugar from it if you drink it like water.
So of course putting water in it helps a lot.
>>78929039
>>78928878
It'd be horrible to drink diluting juice straight. I tried it once. It's disgusting as fuck. It's literally designed to be diluted.
>>78929125
Oh, I (>>78929039) just misread the post.
Yes, concentrated juice or syrup is a bad idea to drink.
I mean, you get no liquid from it and it tastes like shit.
Diluting your normal juice (best use pure natural juice with no additives, of course) with water is a good idea.
Of course, nothing keeps you from getting fat like just water, but thinned grape or apple juice is great in taste. Just calculate the calories per serving and the taste to what you find appropriate.
>>78929416
Yeah I get that. Water is nice, depending on where you live since different shit gets into the water, but I prefer water with a taste of something in it.
Lemon water is weirdly satisfying at the gym.

USA, huh?
Well, in any liquor store, you should find a selection of imported beers and artisan brews.
You might want to make picture of the offer and look up what's what in google.
Or, as previously suggested, you find yourself a bar that offers a local brew. Anything that is not some light beer piss.
Beer is not for everyone, though. If you have a lager, or Pils and don't really like the pure beer taste, you can mix it half and half with Sprite.
That balances out the bitter and sweet tastes nicely.

The sweet flavor is a bit difficult to get in a beer, but far from impossible. Wheat beers tend to be on the sweeter side, but they'll still have some bitterness.
Many of the sweet beers show up as seasonals, and are pricy even by beer standards. Avery's Pump[KY]n (pumpkin porter aged in Bourbon barrels) is like pumpkin pie in a glass, but runs around $15 for an 8 oz bottle.
I'd stay away from beers advertised as chocolate because many are made with either chocolate malt (Not chocolate) or straight cocoa (bitter, not sweet).
One that is available everywhere at a decent price though is Left Hand's milk stout, either regular or nitro (nitrogen injected into the beer post-production for smoother bubbles). This beer is brewed with lactose (don't get if intolerant, obviously) which unlike regular sugar, the yeast does not digest out so easily, leaving a sweeter flavor out of the bottle.
But considering just how sweet plum wine is, beer may not be your poison. The ones you will enjoy will be few in number, but they do exist!
