But what a party!

Mine was a pacifist, but spoke German, so they had him guard the POWs and report on what they said.

I'm sure there's a lot of variance, but at least anecdotally I've observed the exact opposite: these millennials (basically 90% of my friend group) are obsessed with not only the provenance of our produce, but geeking out over the tiniest detail of it's preparation and presentation.

It probably does have something to do with social media. I'm not even saying this is necessarily all a bad thing, but it is a definite thing. Like neither my parents friends nor my friends parents were remotely this extra about food when I was growing up.

I'm sorry you had to go through that, Raphael. By the way, still working on getting that corpse down?

The writing and voice acting are also both top notch. It can be hard to definitively say what makes "good" writing, but I attest without reservation that Disco Elysium is well written.

Wow I've heard about no spice households, but never thought it would include salt and pepper! You must have loved going to friends' horses houses (lol funny typo) for dinner lol

Wow I guess the stereotypes have to come from somewhere. Would you say they consider food important? I feel like many of my generation are becoming obsessed with sourcing and preparing food, whereas I think when I was growing up we focused more on the company? Idle thought anyway

That could be a matter of taste, too. For instance, I love a dry bird, so if I cook a chicken or turkey to my taste most people will complain about it, but I love it.

My mom can cook well, especially Indian food, but as my parents get older their meals are more bland and simple. They might do it up on special occasions, but we're all getting to the ages where me and my siblings do most of the cooking at family events.

The kids have sort of surpassed the parents. Millennials are all such fucking foodies lol it's almost embarrassing 😋

I'm not even a year into seriously being into tea, so I imagine I'll just get more particular over time. I'm still working through a few boxes of various grocery store black and herbal teas, so maybe I'll look around for something different when those start to run out.

I do really love a big pot of green tea while I'm working at my desk job.

How are you finding it? I generally hide vote counts and other social metrics where I can, but that's not the same

Whoa what do you call this crazy noodle haha you guys know how to party

I wonder if the cost of shipping a defective item were higher if it would happen so frequently. Polluting on that scale is largely free, even though it costs us all dearly.

Like you said, we don't have many tools other than regulation

An interesting proposition, and one I'll be thinking about for sure. Sadly we probably won't ever get "VC as Code" hah so none of us are safe

not interested in loose tea or not there yet.

This strikes me as particularly funny, thank you, that is very accurate. I have dabbled in the leaf that is loose, mostly buying baggies from the bulk food store, so not particularly fresh (or high quality). But yeah I am trying to stick to the cheap stuff for now. I love how it's so much less expensive than coffee!

Friends keep sending me these boutique tea and m samples now that I'm drinking tea haha, so I do know what I'm missing

Thanks, McFap, I'll try to remember that.

That's why I bring a bag or two in my breast pocket when I go out!

What sucks is that stuff ends up in the landfill most of the time instead of being recycled.

Yeah that's the sad part. It's such a colossal waste.

it shouldn't bother you to destroy it.

I disagree. I think it should, and probably does, bother everyone involved. Why damage it further, when it could be sold or even just given to a refurb/repair outfit?

I mean I know why, it's because there's no immediate profit motive there. Maybe even the opposite. Which again, is sad.

Yeah I was talking to a friend just yesterday about how a TV isn't really a big purchase anymore, but the houses/rents are crazy expensive. It's kinda fucked.

Anyway my tv was $0 (from brother), about a meter across, and has a permanent green bar on the right side that only guests notice. I'm oddly proud of my shitty TV, which probably isn't healthy, but by plan is to ride this thing until it's unusable lol

That's so sad

How much you drinking? I didn't think it had an impact on me, even afternoon or evening, and only realised the difference when I cut it out
