Talking about exerting control over impulses and the impulse to post this shit.

Beer is for pussies. Nothing beats the after taste of pure blue spirits. /jk

IPA stands for Indian Pale Ale. It was brewed with and excessive amount of hops, so the beer would survive the long trip to India without getting a bad taste (so the taste would turn good after the long trip in different climates). It turned out, some idiots (like me) like the weird taste of the pre-travel beer to India. Bitter sweet. Weissen was invented because a monk forgot a keg outside the monastery during winter which partially frozen, but tasted surprisingly good. Champagne was invented because a farmer wanted to speed up the process and tried the wine during the fermenting process instead of waiting and discovered it had bubbles.

I get it in local too

A locally brewed IPA and a Juttertje (Dutch herbal bitters, a bit like Jägermeister but much better)

Or let you have a private island for you and all your friends

I was hoping Karens would stay on reddit, but…

Nice, I’ll go do that too, thanks!

Partly true, there isn’t much I’m subscribed to so I’m through the list fairly quickly. I’m having a hard time finding stuff I find interesting but isn’t junk. Generally, stuff happening in the world interests me, but lately I’m having a hard time handling all the bad shit.

I have a hard time handling all the bad shit in the world. I noticed lately I open Lemmy much less because of all the doom posts. I already deleted reddit and disabled YouTube. Lemmy is all I have left as social media, but it’s getting less attractive by the day.

I have 3 kittens, 10 weeks old. They wake me up by having a WWE wrestling championship on top of me. Hitting with folding chairs and everything. At 6am.

“ooh hooman, are you awake? What a coincidence, we too! Well, since you’re awake anyway, you might as well give us foodz pleazzz”

Every movement with a gun sounds like there’s a loose screw in it (it always clicks). Also it usually has a clip of 300+ bullets.

Every mouse or keyboard input into a computer, every loading bar, every screen popping up makes screaching sounds. Except when having a failing DVD drive or broken hard disk I’ve never heard any computer making these sounds.

A secret tracking or listening device has a blinking red light and beeps.

Every car, always with airconditioning, drives with open windows because of the window reflections. Even during rain, extreme heat or highly contagious zombies trying to bite you through the open window.

“grisly results”. Are you sure? I think the pressure failure of the Titan submarine was closer to “grisly”. Transit tube failure scores lower on the pressure failure scale. /jk

I want one to get beer from the fridge to the couch. I could move the fridge next to the couch, but if a pneumatic system is an option, I assume I don’t have to explain which would be the better choice by a land slide. Cool beers on the couch, in the garden, in the bath tub, etc. I could fire my wife.

Of course I’m joking, I would never exchange my wife for a pneumatic tube system. I don’t have a wife.

If South Korea does this, he’ll tell his fat buddy Kim to send more shit balloons over the border.

Yes, just like Americans they think it’s their country and the original inhabitants have no place in their country.

Fair point!

Damn, you beat me to it.

It could kill a European, if consumed by a European. However, it is consumed by an American, so it kills an American.

Yeah but honestly, the way the polls are looking right now, so is the US.

I’ve had it for about 8 years. Those years were a treat. “oh hi! We just created another product which would make your life easier and more safe. We just added it to your prescription for free. Have a nice day!” I started with free email, I started paying when they introduced vpn. They just keep on delivering, year after year, they never disappointed me with any decision they made. I just wish there were more companies like proton: creating the best product they can, for the good of the customer and for society.
