Have you tried Stag’s Breath Honey and Whisky Liqueur?
I’m sure there are others. Though liquor laws sometimes stiffle innovation so America tends to have more weird experiments of flavor.
- Comment on Prices are out of control 3 weeks ago:
Sure, if you don’t know what you’re doing. But, as we eliminate all regulations in the US, we gotta learn how to DIY.
- Comment on Prices are out of control 3 weeks ago:
Not as cheap as just plain alcohol. But yes, I home brew. Hops and Malt are not cheap, but sugar (insert any fermentable here, rice, cane sugar, corn, potatoes ext…) is.

If I had a nickel for every ET the Extra Testicle reference I have seen today…
That would be 2 nickels, more nickels than I have used as currency since I last watched “Still Smok’n”. Which is weird.

More like, if you purchased an electric clipper, and it wirelessly sent a message to the company every time you used it, to let them know how long and where you’re using it.
They already have purchase info, they don’t need usage info. At least not for free with our consent or knowledge of the customer.

That game taughte valuable life lessons.
Like if a joint smells like paraquat, do you smoke it? (No)
Buy low, sell high.
Carry as many guns as possible.
The importance of small business loans. (And that while you need to pay them off quickly, keeping cash on hand for investment is important.)

Nice for emergencies, but an actual bidet is like $10-20 and install takes less than 5min (10 if you count watching a YouTube on how to do it.)
- Comment on Prison slavery 1 month ago:
Or rather, people have the urge to survive and will do whatever it takes.
Whether that’s the hard labor of small groups subsistence level existing, for the reward of not starving and suffering the elements. Or putting sandwiches in a bag for a one room apartment and a cell phone.
- Comment on Prison slavery 2 months ago:
Fairly certain wages existed before guns.
But “end of a pointy stick” lacks gravitas.
- Comment on Prison slavery 2 months ago:
Probably because the people who relaxed would soon be murdered by a more organized group with better nutrition, numbers, or weapons.
- Comment on Prison slavery 2 months ago:
I think you missed the part just prior to slavery where we had to work to avoid starving to death naked and alone exposed the elements.
- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 2 months ago:
I mean, it’s a common trope in story telling to use an outsider protagonist (from the perspective of the people in the story) to allow world building and immersion in the world/culture your story is set within.
So, the “guy with amnesia”, “orphan kid”, “dude in a foreign land”, “time traveler”, “new person in the organization”, “certain types of isekai” tropes all exist to tell a story where the reader/viewer get to learn as they go.
Fairly popular in historical fiction, fantasy, and many other genera.
It makes “Shogun”, “The Last Samurai”, “Marco Polo”, “Big Trouble in Little China”, and others like them more accessible to “Western” aka “white guy” demographics.
I don’t really see an issue with it, when done well.
- Comment on Going on Reddit today be like... 2 months ago:
I loved it as a kid (when it came out, loved the robots and the setting) but it was critically not well liked in general. So, I don’t think it holds up after the nostalgia wears off.
Though, it could easily be remade with a more coherent plot and cool special effects. Lol, could be out of the skill set of whomever they have making re-boots now, given the crap I watched on Disney+ lately.

Why not arm everyone in the crown. Good guy with a gun and all. Or, just call it democracy via bullet, that’s what they want anyway. Just let the mob shoot it out at every rally.

The whole point of using a “dead” language is that languages change over time and scientists once had the foresight to attempt making their works more universal over both multiple languages and over time.
