Except drinking a beer doesn't make you dysfunctional.
Yes it does. If you're drinking alcohol, but not getting drunk, then you're still a fucking cunt moron because alcohol tastes terrible.

What's the appeal of eating (insert any kind of junk food, greasy food, fast food, or any food without the utmost health benefits here)?  Don't you know you're impairing yourself?  You were excited to eat that food?  Wow, you're the worst kind of scum.
Now try picking something that actually applies to me.

I don't eat junk food.
I don't eat greasy food.
I don't eat fast food.
I only eat foods with the utmost health benefits (that I can afford).
I never impair myself.
If I ever have to, I'm NEVER excited to.

0/6 correct. You failed.

What's the appeal of spending so much time on an internet forum?  Don't you know that you're impairing yourself, since you could be using your time doing something productive, or better for your body?
I shouldn't have to explain how the Internet >>>>>>> getting drunk. So I won't.

What's the appeal of (insert whatever career path you're going in, if any)?  Don't you know you're impairing yourself and your future, since you could be doing (some better career path) to be much better off?  You're happy doing (insert whatever career path you're going in, if any)?  Wow, you're scum.
Just because there are better career paths doesn't mean I'm capable of following them. I picked the best possible one for who I am. So again--you lose.

There are better, smarter, more healthy ways to have fun.
The fact that I'm not perfect doesn't change that simple fact.

You are scum.
You lose.

Fucking.

It's already been determined, and you're making a claim with a truth value about it. If you're wrong, your statement is false, therefore untrue, therefore a lie.
Only if you have perfect precognition, though. Or an otherwise means of perfectly predicting the future. Which, as you stated, we will never have. This is why, even though I'm a determinist, I would say that our own ignorance of the future's events makes the broken promise... I don't know. Palatable. Depends on how you look at it.

I'd say it counts if you can answer yes to the following questions.

Did you know you would not be able to fulfill the promise prior to making it?
Did you purposefully set up events to prevent you from fulfilling the promise?
Are you lying or creating excuses to get out of fulfilling the promise?
Did you have zero interest in upholding the promise from the start?
I like that, however... sometimes, these things can be difficult to measure. Sometimes, I'm 70% sure that I'll be able to carry out the task with no issues. That's... high-ish, but not quite high enough to be ideal. But if I say something like, "I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that," that isn't being completely honest, either. See what I mean?

I believe your intention determines whether it's a lie or not.  If you promise to be to a friend's house at a certain time and on your way there you get hit by a semi and put in the hospital, it's not your fault you broke the promise.
There comes the tricky part, huh. How do you convince someone of your original intentions? You can't, really. Some people get so angry at you over the broken promise that they don't even care about the circumstances.

When you say, "it's not your fault you broke the promise," I would opt to say instead, "it's not your fault the promise was broken."

I think this falls under the realm of philosophy, but if the mods disagree, feel free to send this to Shitpost Central.

I consider myself to be a relatively virtuous person. Among other things, I am courteous, I am loyal, I am responsible, and I am accountable. I also never lie.

But what do I mean by that last bit? To me, a lie is when you steal money, and then later claim that you did not. In worse cases, you'll end up blaming someone else for your misdeed. Another lie is exaggerating your capabilities to achieve something, like a job. Lying about your qualifications on your resume. And for a third example, a lie is when you fail to take accounting for something that has happened due to your incompetence, or otherwise. Spilling milk all over the kitchen floor and blaming it on the cat--that's a lie.

What all these three things have in common is that some prior truth-laden event must have taken place first in order to make the truth statement. The truth statement being made is contingent upon the truth event. You can't claim that the cat spilled the milk before the milk was even spilled.

So, here's the question--do broken promises count as lies?

Though I've already made the claim that I never lie, I have broken a fair amount of promises in my life. All of them due to incompetence on my part. I wasn't mindful enough, I wasn't strong enough, I wasn't smart enough, I wasn't prepared enough, I didn't care enough, I didn't know enough--either which way, the promise that I had given was not fulfilled, often leaving the individual highly disappointed with me.

Does this make me a liar? If I say, "I'll do better next time," and I fail, is that a lie?

To me, it seems like the word "lie" implies that some prior event must have taken place first. A broken promise is an event taking place after the promise was made--it took place in the deterministic future, something that I can't feasibly change. I can make the strongest effort I could possibly make at some task, and still fail--we often call this an "honest effort". "Honest". Does that honesty nullify the deceptive nature of the broken promise? Or is it all ultimately still a lie?

Anyway, I think you get the gist of my query. For the sake of brevity, I'll stop here.

Am I a liar?

I realise that a lot of you are not of the legal age to drink
As if anyone in America gives a fuck.

Like, to me, the scummiest of individuals are the ones who drink underage. You can't get much lower in my eyes when it comes to substance abuse. Because we're not just talking about people making themselves dysfunctional here--we're talking about people who can't fucking WAIT to make themselves dysfunctional. They should be culled from the population.

And if you're drinking alcohol, but not getting drunk, then, like someone else said, what's the fucking point?
