oh there's some tasty bugs out there already. people are just too squeamish about it.

big green pipe ones would've made too much sense

from the other comments this sounds like kind of a fancy and particular tea. maybe you could offer to share some with someone nearby that has the tools and skills to brew it properly. perhaps a fancy tea shop would be willing to brew it for you.

I know nothing about tea, but I love sharing food with friends. this seems perfect for that.

yeah, it's actually a crystal of sorts. if you look closely at the fuzzy stuff it's actually millions of tiny razor sharp crystals. like, they're not even microscopic. it's amazing that people just looked at it and went "I'm sure it's fine" for so long.

yeah, and it's been getting kind of implemented in parts on the pixel.

the entire modernist period of cinematic history.

think old movies.

post modernism is partly defined by the shift towards stories about institutions and governments not being the good guys.

and also almost every war movie. some notable exceptions like full metal jacket, but most are very very pro American military. think lone survivor, Blackhawk down, hacksaw ridge, band of brothers, etc...

maaaan i honestly kinda hope they can just over themselves. as someone who has cleaned toilets, i kinda don't want gender neutral toilets. i don't want them all to be as disgusting and horrible as women's bathrooms. most men don't know how good they have it with the currently segregated bathrooms...

i mean, it's far from perfect, but as someone that's been using video/voice clients since before there was a commercial solution, what is better? i haven't found it.

yeah, as a video/media guy, I'm still hard stuck on windows. it's just not viable to make enough money and say no to the jobs that require adobe. you'll just go hungry if you try...

they were just offering a second viewpoint given that yours was the only one present below their comment at the time 😅

it's a turn based old school rpg. of course it isn't for everyone...

if you like any turn based old school rpgs there's a good chance this is worth a shot.

yeah, that's fair 😅 my phrasing could've been better. that was admittedly a bit of a quickdraw of a comment.

i wasn't trying to be exclusive to only the most recent conflicts. this is a thing that's been developing and getting worse for a long time. i never thought anyone had any proud battle stories from those eras either. pretty much since wwii as far as i can tell...

plus all we ever hear about from vets is how this country refuses to take care of them... the abysmal state of veteran care in this country has broken the line in many traditionally long running military families. like, if big papa breadwinner of the traditional southern family comes back broken and unable to work that family just ends up on the street. that alone breaks that chain of what may have been 10 generations of military men. now think of every less extreme scenario and how common they are and how they affects the minds of those children that may have previously been gung-ho to sign up.

veterans these days have little pride over what they accomplished or failed to accomplish, the war stories are hard to make glorious sounding, they all have some severe medical issue caused by the military that the military refuses to acknowledge and/or help them with, so very many homeless veterans...

I'm not at all pro military, but even I can see how ridiculously fucked it is that a man can sign his life away to fight for a county and for that county to not even have the decency to pick him up out of the fucking dirt after...

what, two terrorists can't shoot at each other?

hmm, idk, again in the "guys like girls who" example. it's targeting people with bad self image and telling them they're fine the way they are. if you hate that then you're being way too of a purist on your "clickbait" stance

yeah, i don't know these books, nor do i often like self help books... this post just reminded me of mistakes I've seen in the past. the internet is very very fast to hate without checking if they're right.

yeah that's fair, i didn't check myself lol. just saw the ghost of others errors in this post.

reminder not to judge a book by its cover. these kinds of self improvement books are often titled to attract the people that need them more than reflect the opinions inside. like that one social media post of the lady burning a book titled "guys like girls who..." because she assumed it was hateful, but the point of the book was to help young women build confidence and realize they don't need male approval.

yeah, genuinely rich people have never gotten their own food at any level. that have people to buy and cook their food.

well shit, i didn't look that close. i just knew it wasn't PepsiCo.
