That's what makes it so good haha, I only have it as a treat thankfully it isn't widely available in my country

1.5l isn't available in my country, but if it was, I'd drink it in one sitting haha

Jarritos and it isn't close. The Mandarin flavour. Mexican sugar is next level.

I also think Coke itself is 'underrated' I would go so far as to say it's an elixir. Hungover? Need a pick-me-up? Just want a nice drink with dinner? It's insanely good, probably why it got so popular in the first place. You can say the same for any sugary soft drink though.

That's fair, we do have too many names for our small island.

When did I argue? You're entitled to your opinions and as I said I'm not going to disagree with you. Pointing out that they are subjective was not an attack but an observation. I just wished you would have a better time if you ever came back because it sounds to me like it wasn't a good one.

I'm not looking for an argument, I was just commenting on the similarities of the cultures.

[-] canofcam@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

All subjective and I'm not going to disagree with you. I hope if you ever do find yourself back in the UK that you have a more enjoyable time.

[-] canofcam@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Your comment is a bit weird. Like saying, "I would never go back to the US again, I have no interest in it whatsoever. Although, NYC on the otherhand..."

Surely then it would make more sense to say, "I wouldn't go back to Florida" or, "I wouldn't do back to England / Wales / Northern Ireland"

To take you one further, it's like saying, "I'd never go to Europe again -- except France. I like France."

Makes more sense to specifically name the countries you wouldn't visit because for all we know you've never been to Wales.

As somebody from the UK I understand your original comment but putting Germany on this list is interesting -- I find German and UK culture to be very similar.

Misandry and Androphobia do not require 'oppression' to exist, in the same way that a man being eaten by a shark is still being eaten by a shark despite not being oppressed.

You can still be racist against 'oppressors' -- you might have more of a reason for doing it, but that doesn't mean it's not racist.

Misandry means you dislike men for simply being men -- not that men are oppressed.

Androphobia means you are afraid of men simply because they are men -- not that men are oppressed.

I would disagree that the people you are talking about are actually progressive. This narrative that men are oppressed / have it hardest usually comes from a right wing background.

"Misandry" and "Androphobia" do exist. But the problem they pose to society is questionable. There are many reasons why somebody would be androphobic and if a woman crossed the street because I was walking toward them I would not feel embarrassed or upset, I would understand.

I would also say that the idea of changing the definition of racism to mean that you cannot be racist toward a white person is also inherently racist. You could say, "person X is oppressed by people Y, so I understand why they are racist" but that doesn't mean that they aren't racist, or that it's okay.
