All the raspberry beers I’ve had are regular beer coloured honestly, but Rose absolutely gives the right effect.

Oh man, I haven’t had one of those in a hot minute. Guess I know what I’m sipping during the HCS grand finals on Sunday.
I pull out the “I’m rubber, you’re glue”. Nobody expects it these days, either that or “Would Mister Rogers approve of your actions?” I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t at least pause at that.
I can’t pull it off, but “I’m thinking you weren’t burdened with an over-abundance of schooling.” From Firefly is killer
It lands best if you order a Cosmo or something equally “girly” coloured right before.
Qualia - instances of subjective conscious experience
It’s fun to say, fun to think about how your red and my red differ subjectively but we still agree that red is red, and just a fun word.
The concept itself has many strong detractors and arguments against it being real, but eh, I’ll keep on thinking about it.
Same, the first 13" colour e-ink that doesn’t cost more than a single limb I’m so getting if I can swing it. I read digit comic books so much and having it as e-ink is my dream.
It’s either something gummy like swedish fish or sour patch kids, or I take the time to properly make some cookies.
No, Stupid, Questions!
Why did I actually listen to the whole thing? Lol.
First I’m gonna learn ya some
And then I’ll leave ya.
We’re in a real quagmire now I’d say. Do I list all the fun words and let someone experience the qualia of them all?
Congrats on being one of today’s lucky 10,000 (xkcd)
Here’s three more fun words (fun to say in my opinion):
Aglet
Plethora
And
Mondegreen
They ideal for most of them is absolutely that they can be frozen while still alive and unfrozen later. We are nowhere near that technology though so most fallback to the second hope. Yes, that is that when they’re unfrozen in the future we can cure whatever it is that killed them. From what I’ve seen in documentaries, most of the people signing up know it’s the world’s furthest longshot, but they figure they’re dead either way, why not take it? Worst that happens is they stay dead but hopefully science learned something from their body at least, best case is they wake up in the 24½th century and keep on truckin.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Halo’s problem with both 5 and Infinite seems to be the game eventually reaches a great point, but by then everyone has left for the most part, and with it having happened twice they’re going to struggle getting people back for Infinite 2: Reclaimer Boogaloo or whatever they name it. Just give those passionate devs a longer leash and let them cook please.
I think most people categorize chowder under the soup umbrella though.
But apparently it can’t cover the cost of monopoly go!? That, that amuses me. I need to look into that one more.
Alcor is generally considered your best cryonics bet right now. Not a great bet, but your best bet.
My gaming groups (both tabletop and video) are leaning into experimental phase of trying new stuff. Count me in if I ever come across your release in the wild.
On the music and visual side. If at all possible I highly recommend finding or hiring someone to at least review what you have and advise, if not doing all the work. There’s so much to both that it takes ages to get right but they can have such a huge impact as you seem to know.
I’ve looked into this before for arguments with my mother trying to get her to stop saying there’s a gay agenda. Her argument was because I enjoy the videogames and sci-fi I wasn’t smart enough to understand the truth. The science has actually been done (though I’m sure more still needs to be done).
Research by a scientist named Schwartz in 2016 showed that those predisposed to anti-social behaviour are also naturally pre-disposed to watch more TV. When accounting for genetic traits, previous research into negative affects of TV didn’t hold up amongst children and young adults (mentally, physically yes, but we already knew sedentary lifestyle has negative impacts).
A (I Believe Johns Hopkins but I’m going from memory) 20 year data evaluation released in 2021 showed that excessive TV can contribute to cognitive decline over time (they measured a 0.5% reduction amongst the adults they tested). The main scientist I remember saying they didn’t account for type of media and did think educational content like documentaries would have a smaller impact though he couldn’t guess by how much. His worry wasn’t about the average adult making decisions but rather preserving as much mental capacity long term so as to help reduce impacts of dementia.
A 2023 UK study backed up the 2021 and 2016 study. Excess causes increased health risks and a long term small measurable cognitive decline.
Everything I’ve seen points to, for the most part, the amount being the problem as with everything. Moderation is key and living a diverse life that stimulates you mentally overall is important. Manga or Marvel movies when you want to relax is not going to rot your brain. Only consuming them will, same as with any type of media or genre.
One of my good friends loves ice wine and just got engaged. I’ve never tried it but I picked up a bottle I’m gonna share with him on his birthday in a few months for a dual celebration.
I often joke I don’t have a sweet tooth, I have a whole set of them. (Though I’m totally down for a nice dry too).
Actually the one you play with a skull. Most call it Griffball though.
