  I like the hops taste of beer and regularly drink it for just that. I barely get a buzz and no one else is drinking around me so there’s no social pressure. Whiskeys are interesting because if you taste them correctly, you taste all kinds of interesting sweet notes and earthy notes and it’s very cool to taste those things. That comes from a $25+ bottle, but it’s affordable if you enjoy that sort of thing. Again, 1 glass every once in awhile. Now things like vodka? I’m pretty sure that’s just to get you drunk

  I cannot attest to all of science, but anecdotally, that is wack bs. I am very sensitive to caffeine. Know how I know? I got them mixed up once and after 3 cups of black “decaf” (it was the caffeinated) I started low-key tweaking. Hot flashes, cold flashes, sweats, vision blurring. I can’t say all stuff is like that, but I did NOT mix up my caffeine and decaf like that again.

  Still on Disco Elysium. It’s good, thus far, but some of the controls bug me. The game has made me laugh multiple times though, it’s a real “dramadey” of video games. Although I had a nice evening the other day playing the Jackbox Party Pack.

  Hey, some of us like that stuff! But I have no idea

  Is this a personal anecdote or a recurring problem in some cities?

  Is there some beef between you?

  That’s cool. I wouldn’t mind fantasy characters having accents (it’s fantasy after all) just providing context for why it’s predominantly English

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fantasy rednecks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I read the Silmarillion, he was sad about the fact that England had no real “mythology” so he made his own

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fantasy rednecks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure because the “original” fantasy was written as a false history for England (LoTR was this). So it makes sense that the people would bear an English accent

  I know, just sanitize it again. .Replace(“&”, &), Regex.Remove(amp;), if(.Contains(“amp;”))

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey I'm trying to abbreviate here⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure why the devs have so much trouble with parsing this. I’m not sure if it’s an API thing or a front-end issue

  Dang, I’m sorry

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Happens to Rich People Under Socialism? - Second Thought⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Capitalism brings disparity, but it seems like more people are happy with the idea that what they earn is theirs. It also seems like less people are impoverished. Are people poor? Yes. Are many people preyed upon by corporations? Yes. Unhinged society? I’d argue not. If you’re talking about the US, I’d say we are quite far from fascist as well

  Is old Roblox going somewhere?

  Not necessarily a person. Just saying.

  Production time. “Bloat” means quicker turnaround but less efficient code

  The fact that someone committed to making a whole 3 minutes of this is genuinely wild. I watched it all
