Drunk Ex-Pastors episode 6 is here, get it while it’s hot!
In this edition of the podcast, Christian and I discuss my lack of proper decorum at the poker table, and then spend the remainder fielding a listener question about the infamous celebrity selfie leak.
This topic leads pretty naturally into a discussion of rape culture, during which Christian accuses me of contributing to it, thereby displaying his lack of philosophical nuance and sophistication.
From the 18th century until 1 January 1980, the UK measured alcohol content in terms of “proof spirit”, which was defined as spirit with a gravity of 12/13 that of water, or 923 kg/m3, and equivalent to 57.15% ABV. The term originated in the 16th century, when payments to British sailors included rations of rum. To ensure that the rum had not been watered down, it was “proved” by dousing gunpowder with it and then testing to see if the gunpowder would ignite. If it did not, then the rum contained too much water and was considered to be “under proof”. Gunpowder would not burn in rum that contained less than 57.15% ABV. Therefore, rum that contained this percentage of alcohol was defined to have “100° (one hundred degrees) proof”. (Wikipedia) Just cause when you brought it up, I remembered reading it recently.
Great. Now I have to find some gun powder and light my rum on fire each time I buy a bottle to make sure I’m not being ripped off.
Is it a sin to take selfies? Much the less nude selfies? What if it is your ex-girlfriends best friend from high school?
Chrisitan, what is you opinion?
