"I felt like it." Is all the reason the cat needs.

I can acknowledge that you're partially correct. What I was suggesting was geared towards preventing people from acting in negative impulses. Basically, your brain thinking "no, don't do creepy shit."

But with your example, exercising rationality actually would help, because "the sadness that comes from seeing couples in public or among your friends and knowing that you’ll never experience what they’re doing" is actually an irrational thought.

There's no reason to assume this is actually the case. It's a self fulfilling prophecy that's easily dispelled by recognizing that you're actually capable of having that experience. Some proper therapy can help replace those intrusive thoughts with more empowering ones!

Edit: fixed an autocorrect issue that changed my intended meaning. Sorry.

That's a good rough estimate, but doesn't account for varying factors, like gender and weight. It also makes assumptions about the alcohol content in your drinks.

For example, the usual BAC calculator assumes 1 serving is 0.6oz worth of straight alcohol. That equates to 1.5oz of 40% liquor, a 12oz beer that's at 5%, or a 5oz glass of wine that's at only 12%. So at my weight, two servings over an hour puts my BAC at just 0.03, which is under the limit to operate motor vehicles in many countries. To be clear, I NEVER drink and drive, even after just one drink. But I'm this hypothetical scenario, I'm quietly sitting down in a plane seat, not operating machinery.

I'm helping!

I'm not saying to get rid of them, I'm saying to exercise self control so you don't act on them. I dunno about resources on that, my dude. It's just kind of a necessity to be a responsible adult.

Fair point, but there is a simple solution. Learn how to deal with it. Learn self control. Let that rational part of your mind do the driving.

This was, by far, the most thorough research I've ever seen here on LemmyShitpost. Well done!

The last time I flew, my flight was delayed 4 hours. 2 drinks per hour wouldn't even put someone my size over the limit to operate a motor vehicle.

Fuck this guy.

Consider how long it takes to fly between each of those airports. I'll be completely sober by landing, and ready for another couple rounds considering I've got two fucking layovers.

My dude, have you ever been on a flight that's only 20 minutes?

I haven't even gone throufh an airport terminal in only 20 minutes.
