I mean, by nature of the photo, she’s being set up to look cool. The others are all doing one thing, which is essentially bragging (in a sense. It’s a tradition based on judging/measuring wealth of the one who gave them the ring), while she is self-aware enough to look like she’s poking fun at herself, while also proving she’s above the tradition on display.
This is a one-photo story where she’s set up to be the hero. Not to mention the color differences, the others have their hair down/done while she has her hair pulled back. It’s almost too-set up to make her look awesome.
Jfc why does Lemmy hate beer so much? I guess it's because many Lemmings are socially isolated, giving them fewer positive associations from using alcohol in a social context within their own lives. But maybe the international users are also a factor; people of European extraction are significant outliers compared to the rest of the world when it comes to beer consumption.
Edit for clarity:
Europeans and North Americans drink a lot of beer compared to other regions of the world, so maybe it's more common to be like "ew beer" in other countries. In my personal experience, even people who don't drink aren't usually bothered by casual consumption, but maybe that's because I come from a country with a relatively high rate of alcoholism.
That's fine but there are several commenters who immediately attacked the girl who is drinking a beer. Maybe it's more of a thing about women, actually. I just felt like the hostility was unexpected and was trying to understand why
I didn't know it was a general opinion on here lol, I don't like beer either , it just tastes like liquid bread and even though I love bread the liquid version feels wrong, I like something fruity like a mojito or a cocktail! Generally though I don't drink alcohol.
Or they all collectively thought this was hilarious and set it up. Why would three friends line up to take a coordinated ring-shot with their friend who isn't engaged?
Are they stupid? You can just buy rings at a jewellery store you don't need to be married to wear rings. They legally cannot forbid you from buying a gold ring if your not married
Yeah how dare they be excited that someone they likely love and adore made a commitment to be with them and celebrate it with what is typically seen as one of the most monumental moments in someone's life. Idiots.
Call people basic and look down on them all you want, but you never know what people are going through. You probably never will if you keep dismissing them out of hand for (checks notes) experiencing life events.
Huh? When did I say anything about alcoholics? I was just calling out the narrative and the push that drinking because you’re single is normal or somehow a healthy behavior. Wasn’t supposed to be this deep, just a callout on behavior which can very quickly spiral out of control. 1 in 12 men and 1 in 25 women have an alcohol problem in the us.
Idk I’ve been recently trying to live a more healthy and sober life (despite not having issues with substances in the past) and honestly just feel disconnected with the obsession of drinking. Didn’t mean to offend or anything
