[05:40] <Kitsune-san> idk how those translate to alcohol volume
[05:41] <Goryo> that's not volume, that's strength of the alchohol
[05:42] <Kitsune-san> so how does translate into volume?
[05:43] <Goryo> Proof is another word for alcoholic content... if you divide it by 2 you get the percentage of alcohol that a drink is made up of
[05:43] <Goryo> so 151 would be 75% alcohol
[05:43] <Goryo> and 25% ingredients/water/whatever
[05:43] <Goryo> 70 proof is 35% alc.
[05:44] <Goryo> beer is typically less than 10%
[05:45] <Kitsune-san> yeah i guess you can't see how that system would be confusing
[05:45] <Kitsune-san> since it's so much easier to understand how "strong" your alcoholic beverage by simply knowing the % of alcohol in it
[05:45] <Kitsune-san> like
[05:45] <Kitsune-san> vodka: 30% pure alcohol, 70% bullshit
[05:45] <Kitsune-san> beer : 4-14% alc, 86-96% bullshit
[05:45] <Kitsune-san> and so on
[05:46] <Goryo> It's pretty simple to me. all I wanna know is the percentage so I know how fast I'll get drunk
[05:46] <Kitsune-san> yes yes but you're american
[05:47] <Kitsune-san> you still think it's a good idea to measure in footsies and 8ths of an unit that is composed of 3 other things and goes 3 and some more times into bigger units
[05:47] <Goryo> Where do you live? and what's your system there then?
[05:47] <Kitsune-san> if you wanna know the percentage then print it on the fucking bottle
[05:47] <Kitsune-san> don't use an archaic measure system
[05:47] <Kitsune-san> "defined as twice the ABV"
[05:47] <Kitsune-san> but only in the us
[05:48] <Kitsune-san> originally in elizabethan uk it was 7/4 ABV
[05:48] <Kitsune-san> Goryo: romania, and like the rest of the civilized world we use abv
[05:48] <Goryo> Oh that's what you're hung up on. sorry for using the "proof" term. the percentage is usually printed right next to proof on every bottle I've seen
[05:49] <Kitsune-san> and metric
[05:50] <Goryo> Yeah America is kinda stupid with measurements... but we're supposedly the #1 super power so we do what we want
[05:51] <Kitsune-san> i think china has gone by you leaving a cloud of pollution in your faces
[05:51] <Kitsune-san> but that's a matter of personal opinion
[05:51] <Kitsune-san> and being a super-power doesn't mean you're free to be retards
[05:51] <Goryo> we rely on china so much it's funny, which is why I said supposedly. I believe we're getting close to losing our spot
[05:51] <Goryo> although our military is still the strongest by far
[05:51] <Kitsune-san> it means that when you're retards the whole world will point and laugh hard
[05:52] <Goryo> if you go by budget numbers
[05:52] <Kitsune-san> well you could lease yourselves out
[05:52] <Kitsune-san> it would be an interesting thing to see the news
[05:52] <Kitsune-san> "Today, on the North vs. South Korea war, US 3rd regiment and US 4th regiment infantry are battling it out"
[05:53] <Kitsune-san> with the 3rd being for north and 4th for south
[05:53] <Goryo> I'd join the military if that were the case.... being a mercenary sounds awesome
[05:53] <Kitsune-san> and you'd have koreans on each side cheering on
[05:53] <Goryo> a sanctified one at that
[05:53] <Kitsune-san> south korea would probably make lots of sad k-pop about dead soldiers
[05:53] <Kitsune-san> killed by soldiers in identical uniforms
[05:54] <Kitsune-san> and you wouldn't even have to try to disguise that the whole country's military are mercenaries
[05:54] <Kitsune-san> you would just say that they are "fighting for freedom"[05:54] <Goryo> you seem very angry about america lol
[05:57] <Kitsune-san> that was comedy
[05:58] <Kitsune-san> and in the style of one of your better comics too
01[05:58] <Goryo> That last part maybe, but you can't really play off everything you've said so far as comedy
01[05:58] <Goryo> you seem sorta bitter about america for some reason
[05:58] <Kitsune-san> well i really do think your choice of measurement system is idiotic
[05:59] <Kitsune-san> i mean come on
[05:59] <Kitsune-san> the inventors of that ridiculous system have mostly abandoned
03[05:59] * giita-san (~simon@3B29887.1D0D2ECE.E24DA3CF.IP) has joined #myanimelist
01[05:59] <Goryo> We agree on that, but we're #1 so deal with it :D
[05:59] <Kitsune-san> #1 on what?
[05:59] <Kitsune-san> money spent on military?
[05:59] <Kitsune-san> military force?
[06:00] <Kitsune-san> then sure you're #1
[06:00] <Kitsune-san> to the detriment of your entire country
[06:00] <Kitsune-san> ergo my joke that you should lease it out
[06:00] <Kitsune-san> uhh
[06:00] <Kitsune-san> imagine the betting
01[06:00] <Goryo> I agree our military budget is too high, but that doesn't take away the fact that we're #1
[06:01] <Kitsune-san> no, your lacking position in healthcare, education, social development and civil rights
01[06:01] <Goryo> Our influence in other things is also pretty dominant, because it's abetted by our military strength
[06:01] <Kitsune-san> makes you not #1
[06:01] <Kitsune-san> from this perspective you're all bullies
01[06:01] <Goryo> Bullies sanctioned by the UN
01[06:01] <Goryo> we're the enforcers
[06:01] <Kitsune-san> think about it.. large almost retarded kid on the playground dominates other kids by violence and force
[06:01] <Kitsune-san> then feels good about himself :D
[06:02] <Kitsune-san> are are
01[06:02] <Goryo> And losers pout about not being as strong as the bully
[06:02] <Kitsune-san> don't change the subject
01[06:02] <Goryo> Whoever is the strongest will always be made out to be a bully
[06:02] <Kitsune-san> it's about retarded measuring systems
[06:02] <Kitsune-san> that's the whole thing
01[06:03] <Goryo> oh ok lol
[06:03] <Kitsune-san> people don't laugh or pickl on usa for reasons of being sore losers or whatever
[06:03] <Kitsune-san> it's because you have a population that has the mentality of "we're #1" when shittier places on earth literally live better than most of you
01[06:04] <Goryo> Your perception of #1 is subjective when it concerns things such as happiness or health, mine is logical because it is derived from military and economical influence
[06:05] <Kitsune-san> then you aren't #1
[06:05] <Kitsune-san> you are just a country with an overgrown military force
01[06:05] <Goryo> who is number 1 then tell me that
[06:05] <Kitsune-san> and that once was an economic power
[06:06] <Kitsune-san> Goryo: no one, we all live on the same planet
01[06:06] <Goryo> Yeah you're idealistic to the point of idiocy if that's what you think
[06:06] <Kitsune-san> ok
01[06:06] <Goryo> I wish we were all united but we're not
[06:06] <Kitsune-san> china is more powerful than you from an industry and it's economy is a bit stabler (prolly because of all the copyright infringement)
[06:07] <Kitsune-san> if you want human rights, quality of living and such, go to Scandinavian countries
[06:07] <Kitsune-san> i'll give you the military force
01[06:07] <Goryo> They may be stronger in certain aspects but we hold more influence than they do
[06:07] <Kitsune-san> cause you be a war-like people
01[06:07] <Goryo> Yep, we're barbarians
[06:07] <Kitsune-san> no no
[06:07] <Kitsune-san> don't insult barbarians
[06:07] <Kitsune-san> at least they weren't hypocrites
01[06:08] <Goryo> How are you so blind to your obvious bias and ignorance
[06:08] <Kitsune-san> you knew that when barbarians were coming it meant they wanted to kill, rape and pillage
[06:08] <Kitsune-san> in probably the same order
[06:08] <Kitsune-san> and not "protect your freedom"[06:08] <Kitsune-san> I have to brb, I need to pee
[06:08] <Kitsune-san> Immahnoob, pls explain to Goryo my stance here
01[06:08] <Goryo> To bad you can't piss out your ignorance
[06:08] <Kitsune-san> and no gay jokes, you suck at those :D
[06:09] <Kitsune-san> Goryo: i know it's hard to have someone criticize your country when you're probably a patriot
[06:09] <Immahnoob> PATRIOTS SUCK
[06:09] <Kitsune-san> but patriotism is good as long as it doesn't blind you
[06:09] <Immahnoob> PATRIOTISM SUCKS
[06:09] <Kitsune-san> spoken like a true romanian noob :D
[06:10] <Immahnoob> YEP
01[06:10] <Goryo> You cannot deny the good things America has done, we've brought about an age of peace and information. I will not let our country take all the credit, but we were the pioneers
01[06:12] <Goryo> Even if the peace was brought about due to an overwhleming military/nuke arsenal... it's still peace
