Most wine I buy for myself is in the $20-$30 range, and my favorite chenin blanc is like $15 a bottle. But I think there are some really fantastic ones in the $40-$80 range where you can taste why they're more expensive. I think everything kind of goes out the window once it's higher than that and you're not really paying for taste anymore.

There's the people that get mad, and then there's the people that have it in their head that they're safer in an accident without a seatbelt because 1) what about whiplash or 2) what if responders can't get them out of the car in time because they're strapped in?

Don't need to be pulled out of your car if you were immediately launched through the windshield on impact.

There was a Rifftrax a while ago of a safety film about seatbelts that featured a bunch of actors portraying common idiots and their reaction to being told to wear a goddamn seatbelt which was real fun, give it a watch some time if you're into that sort of thing: https://www.rifftrax.com/seat-belts-the-life-saving-habit

Loucks posted:I’ve had exposure to what I would consider stupidly expensive wines ($300-$1500/750ml, and I sure as hell didn’t pay), and they seemed to range from delicious to awful just like the $10-$20/750ml I actually buy for myself. Maybe they trended to be slightly better on average, but nothing remotely worth the price. I think a huge part of it is just finding something to spend money on and feel superior about. I’m also not a huge nerd who pretends to have a magical palate, but I can taste some interesting stuff if I concentrate sometimes. Gonna drink this $7 bottle I have and watch some of that wine documentary content this weekend while laughing to myself. Once my wife's boss invited some employees & SO's out to a fancy wine bar on his dime. There were several wine snobs there. I ordered a flight of fancy wines and then when they came out, I poured all four glasses into one glass and said it was my private blend. Lot of shocked faces. And it tasted pretty good, too.

I've knew a motorcycle rider a few years ago who refused to wear a rated helmet and instead had this paper thin skull cap thing. When I asked him about it he explained that he wouldn't even wear that if VA didn't require helmets because he didn't want to get brain damage in a crash. Only two outcomes for him were brain damage with a helmet or instant death. He did wear some body gear though. One of those Harley vests. You know, for all the road rash. A vest. Guy was fun to drink around but he was not a smart man I think.

Shugojin posted:most people who don't wear a seatbelt honestly believe this lmao My mom is short and always found seatbelts very uncomfortable; she was incredibly lucky when we got hit by a drunk driver when I was very young (this was back in the mid/early 80s) and got thrown from a wreck. I was uninjured. She always wore her seatbelt after that. About 15 years ago I got in an argument with one of my D&D buddies about seatbelts; he wouldn't wear his for the "I don't want to be trapped in the vehicle" reasons. I told him that while that could happen, statistically it's way more likely that you get thrown from the vehicle and run over in your own car, or in the case of a rollover, you're pretty likely to survive with a seatbelt but going to be obliterated 95% of the time without one (rollover accidents are by a healthy margin the type of accident where seatbelts make the biggest difference). The next week, he was giving me a ride home, and I noticed he had a new truck; I asked if his was in the shop, and he said "you know that argument we had about seatbelts last week? You win." Some guy ran a stop sign and T-boned my friend's truck, which rolled over. He was luckily wearing a seatbelt, and was mostly banged up instead of being thrown out the window and crushed by his own truck.

A teacher I knew had a story about not wearing her seatbelt and getting thrown through the windshield in a like 10mph crash that I like to tell people, cuz a lot of people don't realize that even otherwise inconsequential crashes at very low speeds involve a lot of goddamn inertia that can seriously gently caress you up. Plus you're now no longer anywhere near able to control the car, where if you were wearing a seatbelt you very well might still be able to at least do something, so your car could keep going onto the sidewalk or into oncoming traffic and kill other people too

We had someone die on the highway here a couple years back; it was at like 25mph but the unseatbelted driver was thrown through the windshield and crushed between the car and the barrier. The passenger was wearing a seatbelt and walked away.

Why yes, I would definitely like to be thrown clear of the car in an accident, rather then be stuck inside my carefully engineered safety cage that has been designed with the expressed purpose of preventing fast moving objects from crushing me to death. This is a very smart decision and I am a very clever person. Most effective school speaker I ever got exposed to was a dude who had been driving drunk and totalled his car in a single vehicle accident, resulting in losing the use of his legs. His two big points that I can remember were these: He showed a picture of the wreck, then asked everyone if they would prefer to be thrown clear or be stuck in the car. Then he said he got thrown clean through the driver side window, didn't even really touch the sides. Basically a best case scenario for being thrown clear. Except he landed on some rocks and permanently hosed his spine. Later on, he spoke with the lead guy that had been at the crash site and was told that when they inspected the wreck, they determined that if he'd been wearing his seat belt he almost certainly would have able to walk away from the accident. The second was him talking about how he knows warning a bunch of high school kids they might die doesn't mean poo poo to them. Kids always think they are invincible. So instead, he wanted to make it very clear to everyone that you might not die, you might end up maimed in some way, or you might kill someone else. In particular, he wanted all the guys in the audience to be aware that his dick hadn't worked since the accident, and that it probably never would. I always thought that last bit was a pretty effective one to drop on a bunch of dumb horny teens.

Man I know that would have worked way better than what we got as a speaker in highschool: a Pretty Upper Middle Class White Girl who got underage-drunk at a club and drove home on the interstate and wound up crashing and killing a mother and child, and who got out of going to prison because she agreed to tell her sad story to school kids as community service. So what I learned from that presentation was that if you're pretty and white and your parents can afford a good lawyer you can get away with basically whatever.
