No, I’ve never smoked. I looked it up, and it seems the trend is generally that super tasters prefer real sugar over fake. Obviously everyone is different though.
But I can detect the faintest bit of artificial sweetener. It’s very unpleasant.

I’m a super taster as well. Raw onion is a hard no for me, but caramelized onions are like a cheat code for making every meal delicious.
But you’ve got the artificial sweetener thing backwards. Super tasters tend to prefer real sugar and find the fake stuff cloying and unpleasant. I’d bite into an onion like it was an apple before I’d drink a diet soda.
Also, mayo is delicious.

Do you think maybe there’s a way to phrase that where you’re not saying that 2,000 innocent people deserved to die?

I think you’re underestimating the number of people who just don’t want to take on the secondary hobby of building a PC in the first place.

Zeus wouldn’t let him. Odysseus was fated to return home eventually.

The top of that masher is clearly protecting the cube from the rain, so I’m not sure how the rain is expected to shoot the cube out as in option B.

Last Christmas my daughter kept getting closer to figuring things out until one night she cryptically said, “I can’t wait until I’m an adult so I can learn about grown up secrets.”
“What kind of secrets are those?”
“You know, like if Santa wasn’t real or something.”
“Well if Santa wasn’t real, then we’d definitely want to keep that secret from kids like your little brother, so we’d never ever talk about it.”
“Oh yeah.”
Then she never mentioned it again.
It may have been our fault for doing way too many holiday activities. She must have met four or five different Santas that year.

It’s not really about the evidence. Once they figure it out you can get them to play along a little longer, but they know.

I like to go the extra mile. I uncensor shit emphatically.
A censored “shit” in a post about Star Trek? “SHIT” in big Star Trek font.
“Cunt” in a post about the UK? Enjoy your “CUNT” dressed in a union jack.
The censored word is “cock”? Here’s “COCK” in flesh tones with bulging purple veins on it.
Fucking lean into it.

- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 2 months ago:
Anthem is a goddamn masterpiece, and I will die on this hill. The graphics, the combat, and the traversal were all AAA quality. There just wasn’t enough fodder for the internet hate machine that month, so Anthem got tossed into it for some reason.

Yes, that is a new fetish alright. Never heard of anyone into that before.
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 2 months ago:
I have kids, so yes, I watch kids’ cartoons. Today it was DuckTales.
Without kids, I probably wouldn’t watch any tv except what my wife wants to watch. I’d always rather be playing a video game.

I’ve bought a PC before, so I know that you’re not being honest. Whether or not that’s on purpose, I’m not sure.
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 2 months ago:
Uh huh. And it takes fifteen minutes to caramelize onions.
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 2 months ago:
Isearched that phrase just for fun, and it turns out a budget PC is $800?
I’m not interested in discussing all the reasons PCs aren’t a good fit for me. I just don’t like when PC snobs act like it’s the right fit for everyone. You’re obviously the “invested” one here.
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 2 months ago:
First of all, pointing vaguely at the internet and saying there are websites is supremely unhelpful.
Second, why would I need a solution when I can just buy a console and not have that problem in the first place?
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 2 months ago:
Buy a PC? Ok, let me just go to the PC store and say, “One PC, please.” It’s that simple, right? I don’t have to do hours of research to understand what the components are and then even more research to understand which ones are best?
Be serious.
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 2 months ago:
It’s not laziness; it’s time. I’ve got three kids and a full time job. If I sit down to play a game and I’m spending that time fiddling with drivers or trying to figure out why the video isn’t displaying on my tv, then I don’t get to play a game.
I swear, PC snobs are worse than recipe writers about underestimating prep time.
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 2 months ago:
Because my hobby is gaming. I don’t have time to take on the additional hobby of fiddling with a PC.
Also, PC prices have gone up too, haven’t they?

My daughter is learning to write and gets about half her numbers backwards. After I’ve corrected her on a 2, a 3, and a 7, I’ll look at a six and genuinely not know which way it’s supposed to face.
