People call me a hipster all the time. They're just jealous of my really cool paper boy hat and sweet goatee.

Hipsters, srs bsns. I wasn't implying you were a hipster when I made that edit btw, it's just they're the ones who all have that hairstyle these days - at least in Melbourne they do. Quiff's EVERYWHERE, ugh. I am so sick of it.

Regaurdless of hipster affiliation, Cafe Bikes are @#%^ing cool as sh*t.

What's a Cafe Bike?

They look nice. Way better than ugly sport bikes, great big choppers or - god forbid - a scooter. As long as it can go the speed limit I'd be happy with that..

Hmm, despite the massive aggression, that was actually a nice way of defining hipster. Thanks for that. I'm going to use this argument to defend my interest in certain 'retro' things, and colour schemes.

brooklyn hipsters are definitely getting onto craft beer. i was just in brooklyn this weekend, and it's unrecognizable relative to even 2 years ago regarding beer (all the bodegas advertising like 20 brands of once-obscure beer, all the craft options at cushy hipster bars).

craft beer isn't hipster though, nor is craft beer "beer geeky". i'm a beer geek, which is just one example of my overall obsessive / "otaku" type personality (not that i'm a social outcast, but that i hyperfocus on things and try to get as deep into them as i can, often at the expense of some other socially important things). however, the craft beer market (which i believe is about 15% of the overall beer market) is pretty diverse.

being a hipster is a fashion thing, and a money thing, so i doubt america is in good enough economic straits for the hipster demographic to be bigger than the aficionado demographic (though they're *definitely* distinct; "hipster" is inherently superficial), but it might be. a larger craft beer demographic is much more casual, and includes most homebrewers (you'd think they'd be beer geeks, but they usually aren't), lots of locals who support the breweries and brewpubs around them, and just normal ass people who liked beer before, tried some sam adams / sierra nevada / belgian/german/english imports and "moved up from there", etc.

in other words, liking craft beer doesn't really mark you out as anything. there are particular craft beers that might (for example, it was apparent to me after one look at the tap list that double windsor in brooklyn was a serious aficionado bar, as opposed to most of the others i've been to in brooklyn which just sort of ride on the growing wave of craft popularity). it's like anything else; anime, videogames, music. you think that if someone likes joy division, they probably like new order, but they really may never have heard of new order.

@#%^ both of you.

Beer + Whiskey. Drunk.

Bourbon in a Stout is known as 'A Shot in the Dark' around here.

I'd go to your show, even if I had to fly to Australia. Also, I want 'A Shot in the Dark.'

Which makes me believe "Sara" is all the more interested.

Also I've thought about saying it a few different times in a few different threads. lolgaxe's avatar is awesome.

I don't even know what that means.

Posting elsewhere other than here. Spreading your post-seed. Probably without protection too KNOWING YOU.

We don't need a reason to post here? Someone should have told me.

Prove it.

note also that you can talk about things "in the space of reasons" as opposed to raw causality. "reasons" is justification talk. causality is not justification.

for example, we punish criminals for various reasons of varying scopes (i mean we punish criminal X because he killed someone, or we punish him because we must maintain rule of law, or whatever level reason you want). however, those reasons aren't the cause of the criminal's punishment. murdering someone does not cause life in prison (if so, more people would be in prison). that so-and-so has committed murder is a reason we hold up as justification for incarcerating so-and-so.

i would guess most of us often don't have a justification for posting. there are probably causes for us posting (though it could also be spontaneous i guess), but reasons i would imagine are in shorter supply.

---

p.s. one might think it a useful project to line up justification talk 1 to 1 with causation talk. i'll just let out a spoiler and say that not only is it not useful, but it's probably impossible.

You're talking about me, aren't you?

Batman, I think.
