[mossy trail]

wow they look girthy

[sharp grail]

persimmon is kind of weird to me so i dont eat it. i dont know if i ever tasted it even

[muted smelt]

i like fried banana. do they grow on fried trees?

[fast marlin]

yes

[earnest cargo]

Fried plantains are the stuff

[sharp grail]

i had grilled bananas once when i was a child and i still remember it bc it was so good

[earnest cargo]

a nice jibarito sandwich mmmmmm 🤤

[fast marlin]

im growing bananas right now ill get photos tomorrow

[mild pelican]

i remember the nice solid taste of bananas from my childhood.. they are so much better when still a bit green and dense

[fast marlin]

also according to wikipedia:
"Banana peel may have capability to extract heavy metal contamination from river water, similar to other purification materials.[174][175] In 2007, banana peel powder was tested as a means of filtration for heavy metals and radionuclides occurring in water produced by the nuclear and fertilizer industries (cadmium contaminant is naturally present in phosphates ores). When added and thoroughly mixed for 40 minutes, the powder can remove roughly 65% of heavy metals, and this can be repeated."
which is fascinating

[mild pelican]

but mostly they are sold when already half black.. and they taste like sugared potato

[earnest cargo]

I always get them green so they ripen in my home and I get to eat them when they're just right

Though I imagine they're amazing straight from the tree

[mild pelican]

such simple things but so underestimated.. i wonder if in the future they can get more actual use

[mossy trail]

there's a bazillion sorts of it and lots are good but a lot have a very specific after taste that is idk how it's called in english in russian it's called viscous and the aftertaste tastes like very small diameter sand is filling your mouth and sticking to it and also simultaneously like millions of extremely tiny fish hooks are in your mouth and pulling on the surface of it so you really want to pick a good sort and also ripe specimens when buying persimmons to avoid this horrific aftertaste

that's why I didn't like persimmons for a long time

[muted smelt]

any durian fans?

[mossy trail]

I heard it smells umm great

[mild pelican]

me eatin a persimmon be like 😶

[dry stratus]

A durian fan hater here

Durians can be good but I specifically hate durian fans

[fast marlin]

so fair

[earnest cargo]

I've tried durian as meat substitute and it was okay

[mossy trail]

especially some random one you just picked from a random tree on the street like

[dry stratus]

I was literally thinking about this today btw

Durian gelato is decent

Durian mochi is okay

[mossy trail]

I have only read about durian in books

[mild pelican]

people say its smell is specific, but how worse it can get from, say, fish smell

[earnest cargo]

A very lowkey fruit I don't hear much about that I also enjoy is the quince

[dry stratus]

Like

Hm. It depends on the durian type tbh

[mossy trail]

rotting corpse

[dry stratus]

Let's see if I can get an example?

[mild pelican]

no idea how rotting corpse smell.. thankfully

[dry stratus]

Okay so here's what one of my life goals is

[mossy trail]

it was described in the books it smells very badly but I can't remember exactly but highly likely it was rotting corpse

[dry stratus]

To be sponsored by these people

https://miamifruit.org/collections/miami-fruit-durian

[muted smelt]

durian is very popular here. somehow its a common saying that "foreigners hate durian" lol

[dry stratus]

As you can see, there's a few different types of durian, so the smell and taste of durian therefore varies

[mild pelican]

good taste is what matters

[mossy trail]

really? never? like in a forest never feel a smell and just go like "yup someone died somewhere around"?

[mild pelican]

maybe the forests i've visited were not so populated

[earnest cargo]

I've seen it sold in stores with other fruit but never tried it, can you just eat it like that?

[dry stratus]

Yeah, you can

[mild pelican]

there's a couple hundred km long ribbon pinewood here, and it mostly smell like pine needles and resin

[mossy trail]

when I lived in sochi once for a few days the corpse smell appeared very strong one and just wouldn't go away and then it turned out the homeless guy living in a shed in forest nearby our apartment complex which was like directly inside the forest basically well it turned out that guy just died apparently and it was him smelling

[mossy trail]

god I love pine forest so much

[dry stratus]

My cousins used to chase my poor mum around the house with super smelly durian 🤕

[mild pelican]

Altay is known for pine stuff like liquers and stuff

[dry stratus]

You have juniper?

[mild pelican]

not anywhere nearby, im afraid

[sharp grail]

haha will your status

[mild pelican]

i've seen a vid somewhere with husky doggo trying to get a quick bite of a durian
poor guy's face expression was indescribable

[mossy trail]

does anyone also like magnolias a lot

they're pretty

[dry stratus]

it runs deep 😭😭😭 it runs SO deep I just had to let it out

[fast marlin]

durian fans scare me

[bronze lintel]

...speaking of Durian

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/193414868760657920/1115902535518126080/20230607_141746.jpg

I'm not a fan of them but I like them in ice cream

[earnest cargo]

I want those games so bad! But I don't wanna shill out the money for a switch just for 2 games...

Is that a coincidence Fluffy?

[bronze lintel]

it is. I took a pic of that and sent that to my friends idk an hour ago?

[mild pelican]

speaking of, me and my friend are trying to get a decent names for mustang and foxtrotter horses in RDR2.. it's been almost 15 hours now already, counting sleep

wish it was that easy, picked any word and go

we've even made an excel document with the list of possible words on english and lakota, and their combinations.. to test which will both sound good

[muted smelt]

pick really happy names

like

kafka

or camus

[bronze lintel]

Pierrogi

and yes I name pets in games after veggies/fruits/foods

[mossy trail]

kafka s maslou

In russian kafka sounds like a diminitive of porridge and maslow sounds like butter so Kafka with Maslow sounds like porridge with butter which is funny because they are psychologist and a deep complex writer and not at all one of the simplest food

[mossy trail]

Hmm emulator maybe?

[earnest cargo]

Eh.. I thought about it but I don't wnana risk getting in trouble

If I weren't living in the US maybe

[mossy trail]

Does the government send agents to go through you computer every week or smth

[earnest cargo]

Honestly, I have no clue and I can't say I've heard of situations of people getting in trouble, it's just that to me the risk doesn't outweight the reward

[mild pelican]

so, for now we have
Arizona Sunset - turkoman
Little Creek - nokota
Mountain Wind - missouri fox trotter
Kentucky Whiskey - breton
November Echo - norfolk roadster
Sierra Madre - american standardbred
Nez Perce - arabian
and nameless mustang

she looks like this

[earnest cargo]

Looks like a Ken to me

[mild pelican]

i've heard in Germany it's a real risk of getting in jail for pirating, idk how it is in US though
most time i've heard it's more about general unacceptance from people

[earnest cargo]

mhm I see, appreciate the input

[mossy trail]

I mean
There's no risk if you take enough measures but ig in certain countries you do have to use paid vpns for safety and stuff idk just look into it like go on reddit there are subreddits both for emulating and for piracy ask them how to do it safely in usa

[fast marlin]

ken for sure

also wow, i hate code

[mossy trail]

That's kyle

[earnest cargo]

That's fair enough, part of it is also that I feel bad doing it, I like giving credit to the maker if possible since it is how they make their living. Ik Nintendo isn't short on money, but still, principles lol

It's the idea of having to buy a whole system for a game that seems extreme and them not porting their stuff to PC is just driving me mad

[mossy trail]

I never had any moral issues with piracy probably because I've only learned you could buy games instead of pirating them years after I learned how to pirate them

[earnest cargo]

Pirating stuff is how I got into gaming simply because my fam couldn't afford it

Now that I have my own income I don't mind buying stuff if it's smth I know I will enjoy

[mossy trail]

Pirating is almost a national tradition here

[earnest cargo]

I was living in EEU at the time tho

[mossy trail]

I had enough practice pirating so that pirating actually become easier and more comfortable than buying stuff which is the only seeming advantage buying games had in front of piracy - availability
So I only bought games like hades terraria etc that are by small studios, until the war of course and since then whole country has been blocked from buying any games online so pirating is not just an optional way it's the only way here

[earnest cargo]

Mhm that first half is how it was for me while growing up

I've only discovered the indie scene once I moved out through games like Bastion and Terraria which were some of the first titles I bought with my own money lol

[bronze lintel]

Piracy is business here. There's a service for jailbreak consoles, pirated games, high quality pirated movies, etc.

[mossy trail]

Wdym like it's not free?

[bronze lintel]

some just don't want the hassle

plus they cost like 3 USD at most

dirt cheap

[mossy trail]

I mean that's literally a meal, wouldn't call that cheap

[bronze lintel]

compared to buy games that are 60 bucks? it's a deal

[mild pelican]

pirating wasn't for free in russia in 90s-early 00 as well, since there was no fast internet, but unlicensed copies of cd, dvd and vhs records were being selled all over

[mossy trail]

Compared to 15 minutes of googling to then get free games all your life not so much so

[mild pelican]

it was cheaper though
but with great great disadvantages like no music in games for space economy

or some games being not playable at all

and movies voice acted by one guy with snuffled voice

[mossy trail]

My first anime I watched, evangelion, I watched on an unlicensed disk, my parents had a huge case with those disks, they were mostly music

[mossy trail]

Олдскулы свело

[mild pelican]

heh.. i've seen some people editing modern shows in old vhs style with snuffled voiceover just for fun

they used real vhs recorder for that

[mossy trail]

They threw most out couple years ago tho

[sharp grail]

What’s that second word mean, I can only read the first

[mossy trail]

свело means "to cramp" and also "to converge" here first meaning

To cramp isn't completely accurate I think though

[mild pelican]

its a play on word "crampled cheekbones", with russian "скулы" mixed with "oldschool"

[sharp grail]

Haha I think animal crossing and splatoon 3 are almost the only games I have and I still think it’s worth it

[mild pelican]

used for a state of sudden nostalgia attack

[sharp grail]

they’re very fun when I actually play them

I also have hades and this one rhythm game that was super cheap and not very good

[mild pelican]

and that already makes four!

well.. people bought PS4 for less

[sharp grail]

Lmao I suppose it does

[muted smelt]

alma dont forget to play 13 sentinels

[sharp grail]

When I get through my immense backlog on steam that I don’t play bc of limbus company

splatoon is very fun but due to its multiplayer nature I’ve been scared to play without friends

[mild pelican]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/775583829649129495/1115956735274922045/image.png?width=485&height=618

(all the other reasons were ported to pc)

[sharp grail]

Bloodborne when …

[earnest cargo]

Fair enough Alma, thank you! I have this self-imposed rule where I wait a week or two before buying something to see if I still want it and it's been a month since ToTK has released and I still want it badly, so I'll prolly cave lol

[sharp grail]

I should probably play botw at some point as well but it’s a huge game

and open worlds intimidate me sometimes

[earnest cargo]

Elden Ring got me liking open world games and I heard so many good things about BoTW prior to that

I like that I can just pick a direction and go

I'll miss stuff, sure, but that doesn't bother me

[sharp grail]

I never finished elden ring because of that 😖

and it’s hard as well but with practice I could probably do it

[muted smelt]

as dark souls fan who likes to search every nook and cranny in the game, elden's open world was torture

[mild pelican]

for people who play Elden ring like other souls games, diving into lore, searching all over the locations, Elden ring is not beatable in less than 200 hours in any way

yep

[sharp grail]

lol I have like 28 iirc, and not out of the starting areas

I could beat 3 indie games in that time alone

Maybe more…

[earnest cargo]

It was my first DS game and I rly enjoyed it

I've started a few other new runs but have not finished them, I just lost interest because the bosses just aren't as challenging the second time around

[sharp grail]

One day I’ll beat crucible knight 😤

If I ever play it again LOL

[mild pelican]

souls games be like that, you usually want to come back once in two years or so

[earnest cargo]

What worked for me was finding a wep and sticking with it because you get used to its spacing, attack speed, etc

[mild pelican]

said guy who never has beaten DS1.. in efforts to save everybody

[earnest cargo]

Coincidentally I went full weeb because I stuck with a Uchigatana I found at lvl 15 lol

[mild pelican]

prolly we'd have to move to #hideo-games at this rate

[earnest cargo]

good call

[vocal yoke]

You got a competent PC? Yuzu/Ryujinx it is then

You can borrow the files from friends or buy the games and equipment but I suggest finding someone with the files

Pretty insane how far Switch emulation has come

but it isn't helped by the fact that the hardware is one of a 2014 phone soooo

Wii U also works for BOTW and you can even mod it on CEMU

[vocal yoke]

It's a pretty good game for the switch just wish the open world had more depth to it like RDR2 but it's a switch game but you can scavenge ingredients in the wild, cook random stuff and accidentally discover recipes, make fires, it's one of those games with great systemic gameplay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnpAAX9CkIc&ab_channel=GameMaker'sToolkit

This is a pretty good video on these types of games if anyone is looking for more

Systemic gameplay is when the devs are given enough time to put all these fun features that just makes everything click

[feral chasm]

So like, the correct way to make a game?

[vocal yoke]

Yeah sadly such type of games are so few

Never ever will we get something like slipping on seagull poo like in MGS2

[earnest cargo]

It's only gonna get better imo
We're living in the golden age of video games

[mild pelican]

i want to
believe

[vocal yoke]

Yeah I really doubt that

There's only a handful big budget developers who are sure to put out actually good and finished games let alone games with actual depth

That's why gaming will become good again when Death Stranding 2 releases 😎

[earnest cargo]

Uhm there are so many good indie games

[vocal yoke]

i said big budget :3

indie games were always good

im just pissed how companies with billions of dollars fumble so many titles

[fast marlin]

hey guys

im so tired and it’s entirely my fault for having very poor time management

also: did you guys know theres this one guy on instagram literally trying to become spiderman? he’s making his own web shooters and everything it’s fascinating

Had a nightmare about math test last night.

In middle of exam, went to toilet, back, answer sheet is missing

[fast marlin]

hey guys my laptop motherboard got fried snd i want to Cry but at least we can move the stickers to my pc case

obviously the most important part

no but actually this is such a horrible time bc i started a new coding project and aughhh all that is gone

also that wallpaper folder 😔😔

[hexed hollow]

Can you remove the hdd/ssd from your laptop and transplant it into your new case?

(Assuming the hdd/ssd ain't ded)

[fast marlin]

I don’t think so?

I don’t have the rest of the parts anyway so i just have to deal with it i guess

ugh i gotta revuild trhe whole wallpaper folder thats so mildly annoying

[hexed hollow]

What laptop do you have?
Might be a good idea to check if it's possible to remove the hdd/ssd

The vast majority of reletively recent laptops use consumer m.2 or nvme ssd's

[fast marlin]

not sure

[hexed hollow]

Since the mobo is already fried you have nothing to lose by opening it up and seeing if the hdd/ssd is removeable

Unless the chasis is using security screws to hold the back of the chasis on

Which then is annoying if you don't have the right bit for it

(Security by obscurity sucks and imo ain't really security)

[fast marlin]

Idk we’re going to see if we can get it repaired first since we have a warranty

but it odesnt look likeit

[muted smelt]

Oh no

If you can get the hard disk out, put it into a casing that comes with usb connection. Voila, external storage

[fast marlin]

HEY GUYS SO JPDATE IT LOOKS LIKE ITS STARTING UP

IT WORKS!@

[muted smelt]

whoa

repaired?

[vocal yoke]

well, another black kid shot by police just because he called 911 for his mom

he lived but what the hell :(

[fast marlin]

that's kind of depressing and probably not a good fit for this server to talk about

[fast marlin]

idk!

it mustve been a bios issue bc it would not be running like this if not

i think water got around something and it drained out

[muted smelt]

oh...maybe its time to make backup

[hexed hollow]

definitely good idea to have make a backup

[fast marlin]

i am right now!

[vocal yoke]

I get it but I'm not that much of a fan of escapism

[fast marlin]

it's not escapism, it's just not bringing up incredibly distressing topics in public discord servers lol

also i feel as if there are only two types of people in this world

people who hate packing and people who love packing

which are ypu

i Want to love packing but it's so stressful

[rugged perch]

as someone who packed yesterday and has to pack later today too - i lean towards hating

[hexed hollow]

packing is the worst, because it's both stressful and you gotta unpack it again, the putting it away part can be optional

[fast marlin]

🤝

i go to a neighboring island like

tomorrow

w\hich i could honestly use i have a general level of stress and some silly hotel beds and pools may relieve that

but god packing is a nightmare

its Four(4) days why do i need so much stuff

excited to take a plane ride that isnt like 8 hours long though

[sharp grail]

Idk if I like packing, I didn’t dislike it but I think it’s because I love organizing things

I’m the type of person who returns the items out of place in stores to where they’re supposed to be

[rugged perch]

i don't dislike the packing itself but the stress of forgetting something i might need is unpleasant

[sharp grail]

true

I bring way too much stuff usually to make extra sure

[rugged perch]

i often have limited space so can't bring too many extra things

[sharp grail]

I have a big suitcase, I could not use a carry-on haha

[rugged perch]

oh, beside the suitcase issue, i also go by hiking backpack or even just a small normal backpack

[sharp grail]

I see I see

[rugged perch]

i've optimized some of it by having a small bag of necessities always ready so i chuck that in whatever container i'm using for a given travel

[bronze lintel]

packing for travel? don't hate it too much. packing for travel back to home? yea screw that.

[vocal yoke]

More apple vision pro edits as each day passes

[rugged perch]

packing to move somewhere is different btw

i like that

helps me clean up and sort and throw away or gift stuff that just sits useless otherwise

[silk umbra]

hi guys

[hexed hollow]

[somber ferry]

don’t make me think about packing, i have to start doing this because i’m moving to a new place at the end of july :’)

[sharp grail]

gl i hope it all goes smoothly!!

[earnest cargo]

I personally don't mind packing as long as I'm not rushed

I've moved and traveled so much that I'm sort of desensitized by it lol

Gl with all of that in July, cath!

[sharp grail]

new monitors finally have 2 monitors again… I missed it

[earnest cargo]

Sick setup! I have the same mouse!

now you can lobocorp while you limbus!

[sharp grail]

i need to get a third one for ruina now

jk there is no more space on my desk

[muted smelt]

lmao

[mild pelican]

sometimes in my dreams im packing my things. either i have to move from suburban house to the city in like half an hour, and i absolutely don't want to forget something important till next spring.. or leaving university classes and have to pack all the stuff

and i always forget something

[sharp grail]

noo stressful dreams like that are the worst

When I was a child I used to have dreams about being trapped in a car which drives backwards on valleys and hills

[mild pelican]

that's like.. actual danger

[sharp grail]

yeah it was a reoccurring dream or similar dreams to it, I guess I had a real fear of cars and driving

And now I can never drive so the fear is resolved

[muted smelt]

im curious why but im not sure if its a sensitive topic

[sharp grail]

no worries i dont think it is

im epileptic so its unsafe

[muted smelt]

ah i see

[fast marlin]

😔 driving is hard anyway

[balmy bone]

red fan here as well

[fast marlin]

through the worst part of flying now 😔 at the gate snd having a very philosophical discussion about the nature of US pizza

people in the US which state has the best pizza

obviously new york right

[fast marlin]

Also 2018’s with nitro are getting users

[dusty rover]

new york does seem to be the only state one could associate with pizza. except for boston massachusetts, i guess, which is where deep dish pizza comes from (i think)

[fast marlin]

they are in fact

my dad has strong opinions about deep dish pizza (he does not believe it is pizza)

pizza here is super mid

[dusty rover]

i’ve never tried it myself…it seems a bit too much

[blissful charm]

i thought deep dish was a chicago thing

also there's detroit style pizza but i don't really know anything abt it

[vocal yoke]

here we have pizza but on a slice of bread :D

[fast marlin]

thanks i hate ot

is it good though

[fast marlin]

oh yeah i forgot sbout that

[dusty rover]

when my family makes pizza at home we use naan for dough. works quite well, actually

[vocal yoke]

it tastes good at the end of the month

[fast marlin]

ooooh sounds tasty

big fan of matzah pizza myself

Channeling my inner peasant for this one

These lads don't know I got important exams in a few weeks 😭

[fast marlin]

Just got my username 😔😔😔

[tall owl]

same

[fast marlin]

boooo discord

at least i got sapphicsirens ig

[earnest cargo]

How does it work, do you get a prompt?

[forest basalt]

its rolling out slowly, the older your account the earlier you'll get it

afaik nobody from 2020 has it yet

nitro also gives you priority

but i think you need to have nitro before marhc for it to count ?

idk its all very confusing

[serene tulip]

Plenty of folks from 2020 and later have them, they're just employees/partners/their friends/their bribers

[forest basalt]

i meant real people

[fast marlin]

yes i do

my account is from 2020

[forest basalt]

idk then

the reddit threads arent getting pdated it seems

[fast marlin]

ive had nitro forever so thats probably it

[forest basalt]

yeah nitro users get heavy priority

[dusty rover]

wait, so what does happen? i assume discord notifies you somehow, but what exactly?

[forest basalt]

my discord crashed and when it came back it told meto change lmfao

so iguess just restart every few hours and it'll be a popup

you cant miss it

[fast marlin]

when you open the app it forcws you to change it before you can do anything

[dusty rover]

oh no, my indecisive nature though

[fast marlin]

you can change it every couple hours iirc

if the usernames are free anyway 💀

i hate vog i hate it

Customer: Do you have pourovers that are not too sour/fruity?
Me: No, but we have something that can taste like shoyu.
Customer:
Me: I can dilute it a little so the citrus isn't punchy.

she's been drinking it and no complaints... bit sus but eh.

[muted smelt]

Fluffy how do you make this shoyu pourover

[bronze lintel]

You grind it very fine, and use low ratio of water.

[muted smelt]

use shoyu instead of water

leave out the coffee and straight shoyu

cheaper that way

[vocal yoke]

I think Im either gonna suffer the biggest twink death in history or evolve into the best DILF ever

[jovial wind]

hello

[fast marlin]

hey!!

[bronze lintel]

a while back there's this group of gents that visited our cafe. One of them brought a plastic bag of what could be food. I was about to tell them we don't allow any food from outside. Then I found out that... those were avocadoes.

enough avocadoes for 5 people at least, to snack with their coffee

[blissful charm]

the classic meal of avocados and coffee

[bronze lintel]

They've become a regular here

and most are big spenders

just other day they brought a huge tupperware of guavas

[serene tulip]

Look, I'm not going to say that avocados are the worst fat to take with coffee...

[sharp grail]

my friend ordered cream coffee once and it was just a huge amount of still-cold butter in the coffee

so i agree

[bronze lintel]

[muted smelt]

That sounds cursed

[earnest cargo]

Was that actual butter lmao
Or was it that surface film good fresh milk has

[sharp grail]

he sent a picture, sure looked like a solid block of butter

Damn that's cursed

[sharp grail]

ikr

i dont see how that is even drinkable

[muted smelt]

ask fluffy to drink it in his lab

[bronze lintel]

Miko

don't tempt me

[muted smelt]

[bronze lintel]

in the name of science!

I'll try it later

[muted smelt]

wow

[bronze lintel]

I'm gonna regret this

I prob wouldn't put a cold butter into a hot black coffee

I'd just melt the butter as I pull a shot

it'll dilute the butter into the coffee

[sharp grail]

it literally sounds terrible

im sorry fluffy for inflicting this upon you

[muted smelt]

i imagine it will give the drink an oily feel

[blissful charm]

sounds horrible

[mossy trail]

It's just coffee with cream but the cream has more cream in it

[sharp grail]

also ive been cutting a lot of sugar from my diet and realized that most tea and coffee do not taste good to me without sugar

so ive been drinking chicory "coffee" which is not as bitter and pretty nice cold

[mossy trail]

Whenever I drink coffee or tea I never add sugar, but I always add it to cocoa

[sharp grail]

cocoa is just not the same without soo much sugar

[mossy trail]

Chicory is awesome I love chicory although for me personally it's more bitter than coffee I still drink it without sugar though

[sharp grail]

im a tea person over coffee in general but i would make hot coffee only to eat snacks in it, like wafers with chocolate filling or biscuits (not the american ones)

so if i stop that its a lot of sugar dropped

i actually have not tried coffee with no sugar just yet but i know its going to be super bitter... i guess depending on the coffee. certainly not sweet without sugar

[mossy trail]

Not if you mix it with milk 1/1

Not super bitter I mean

Not sweet either

[sharp grail]

that does not sound very good, i make it with like 1/4 of milk or less

[mossy trail]

Why does that sound not very good

[sharp grail]

too much milk imo but if you like it, sure

[muted smelt]

i never tried them but what about sweetener like stevia

[mossy trail]

Yeah I love milk milk is love milk is life

Also it's just the right temperature

[sharp grail]

im not a huge fan of sweeteners, i think at that point if i wanted something sweet i would prefer sugar

some things with sweeteners are tasty, but it has a bad aftertaste to me

[bronze lintel]

I'm going to describe it as snotty as possible.

It taste like a fresh crepe (totally not a play on words of how I actually feel). It will leave your mouth a taste of American's freedom eagle. The coffee brings some acidity, adding another taste to hate in this catastrophe.

The lingering aftertaste is still present even after fifteen minutes of mouth washing, coupled with an unpleasant cold sweat.

[sharp grail]

😟

[bronze lintel]

on the good note, it is not as bad as I expected. However the bar is below the ground to begin with.

[muted smelt]

lmao

it just needs salt

[bronze lintel]

and yes it was unsalted

[muted smelt]

unrelated, have you tried experimenting with salt in your coffee

[bronze lintel]

we've made couple of coffee drinks in the past with saline in them

and it's not uncommon in coffee world to add salt in their drinks

[muted smelt]

apparently it can reduce bitterness. though thats more for cheap coffee i suppose

[mossy trail]

American freedom eagle you say? Now we know how USA tastes

I wonder how do other countries taste

I think russia would taste as vodka with mustard served in a very very very rusty iron cup

[muted smelt]

is that from personal experience

[mossy trail]

No I just have a rich imagination

[fast marlin]

[muted smelt]

our hero

[earnest cargo]

It's how I drink all my coffees, or with some cream or oatmilk sometimes, and i rly like it!

I'd say it's an aquired taste, kinda like with beer, but you can grow to like it

[sharp grail]

i can see that yeah 🤔 i think i prefer chicory anyway to decaf though (it doesnt affect me too bad, but i just prefer less caffeine)

[bronze lintel]

It is an acquired taste to a degree but you also gotta find one for you. Cause there are loads of coffee variety. There are chocolatey coffee, fruity coffee, I even found spinach tasting one.

it's worst than butter coffee

oh boi

i mean there's already Casioaks that are metallic stock but they are expensive af

[tall owl]

[vocal yoke]

it's cheaper at this point to get a resin one and convert it

saw those hearts and my first thought was “france?“ tolstoy is currently sobbing at this

France, Netherlands, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia

a lot of countries has blue, white and red as their flag, besides Russia

[rugged perch]

maybe you meant "beside" instead of "except"?

[edgy schooner]

yeah i did sorry

english is not my native obviously, as you could have guessed

[rugged perch]

yeah, no worries, just checking if i understood what you wanted to say

[edgy schooner]

well anyway, i meant to say that it's pretty clear that those hearts were meant to look like russian flag even if they don't look like it

also France would be blue, white, red in that order

[fast marlin]

slovenia is awesome

i went there once

chocolate goes hard

word? i met slovenian guy once, let him use my phone to make a call

[bronze lintel]

There are tons of ways to serve it. I think in fried rice is just... not too great at it?

[muted smelt]

Fried rice is good. You toss anything into the wok and its great

"Wagyu? Idk taste like fried rice to me"

[serene tulip]

I figured it was just serving the wagyu with the fried rice, not cooked with it

[bronze lintel]

nonono

he's gonna cook the wagyu in a fried rice

lockheed martin 💀

god damn it they want me to go back to being straight if they keep associating us with the military industrial complex

anyone ever feel like the goverment deploys psy ops like this to just make us LGBTQ folk look bad

because it's happened before

[serene tulip]

I'd put more money on lockheed execs wanting to make sure that they don't alienate "The Talent"

more than their banal child murder and republican donating sprees already do

[vocal yoke]

god damn it why so many engineers even go in these industries

[serene tulip]

💵 🤑 💸 💰 and prestige

I wanted to work for lockheed in like, 2007

because I wanted to make planes

also spacecraft

[vocal yoke]

oh boy

yeah it's that illusion

progress' been long dead since the 60's really in that regard

[serene tulip]

My school actually gave me an engineering ethics course that worked too well

and I came out of it being, "Oh gods, I can't work for oil and gas, the medical device industry, or defense contractors ever"

(Upstream AND downstream oil and gas, like down to the auto manufacturer level)

[tall owl]

And well for research, you either might not even get a job or just an unstable and low-paid one

[serene tulip]

I feel like, "Had to get funding from a defense contractor to do the flavor of research I wanted" falls into 💵 or 💰, at least

If I'm understanding you correctly

[tall owl]

Just to do any research at all. Depending on your country, investment in non-military branches might just not be that high and afaik, they also give you more freedom in research than others

[serene tulip]

Also, I feel the need to defend this statement, because if anyone in was thinking of going, "Um actually they only make these planes" well all the engineers who worked on the lockheed C-130 Hercules are marginally complicit in the kunduz hospital airstrike. If you can't reasonably trust the person paying you to make a thing to use that thing ethically then you are ethically complicit in its misuse.

"But it was just supposed to be a cargo plane" "Yeah, kurt, but you made it for the us government who then asked your company to put guns on it and then used those guns to blow up a hospital run by MSF"

[tall owl]

Eh, I thinking finding partial fault like this especially if it’s in the future creates more problems than it solves. It‘s easier to get into morally questionably territory with military work, but implying that engineers are responsible for how their work is used is a bit much. They‘re certainly well aware of how their work is made for the enemy to die and the ally to survive, but drawing a direct line to war crimes is too simplified

[serene tulip]

Hypothetically, lets say I'm a weapons manufacturing wunderkind who just only gets joy by building really good weapons but doesn't want them to be used unethically. Would you say that selling those weapons to a far right paramilitary unit is equally ethical to selling them to, say, Finnland?

(I just chose finnland off the top of my head as a random country, don't at me bro)

I will possibly accept the argument that late 1950s US was less war-crimey at that time than later-US but still

Engineers hold more culpability than most for what they make because they're supposed to be the people that know better. They're supposed to be the folks that would say, "no, actually, if you rearrange the walkway supports like that it will actually double the force on this one nut and that nut isn't rated for it"

[soft cipher]

helo

how's everybody doing?

[brazen walrus]

fine ig

[mossy trail]

Do the engineers have a say in to whom the company sells their work? I don't know honestly but probably not very likely

[serene tulip]

There is frequently the ability to choose to not do that work.

[mild pelican]

for many people losing only job means staying on the street with family to feed and bunch of debts

however, it's unlikely that military engineers are that kind

[serene tulip]

The type of people who can work for Lockheed Martin are very infrequently at risk of unemployment

[mild pelican]

yes

honestly

if you'd ask me, i think there is too many weapons in the world already

[serene tulip]

Also, the choice between unethical work and poverty is one that a not insignificant portion of impoverished choose every day.

[mild pelican]

at this point it doesn't really matter, every kind of equipment made for military purpose will be misused with probability.. more than 50% i'd say

many people here would rather get in the jail than join the army and commit war crimes

[mossy trail]

Yes that's my point the engineers don't have a choice between whom to sell but between work at a company or not

[serene tulip]

Fun fact, you are choosing who to sell your labor to

[mossy trail]

Ain't no way

[tall owl]

Interesting points, I‘ll have to think about it! I‘m still not sure about how far this personal responsibility is supposed to reach then, where does it stop

[serene tulip]

Where reasonable

[tall owl]

That’s just begging the question haha

[serene tulip]

if ethics were simple then we would have figured this stuff out 3000 years ago

[mild pelican]

i believe it stops when people have no idea what consequences their action have

like, barista in the nearest cafe who served coffee for one of that engineers could refuse to do it as a protest, to make them go home for lunch and thus lowering their productivity.. but how would they know

most of the times these kind of facilities don't even have a sign on the gates

[fast marlin]

well to be fair they just committed like the Ultimate war crime in the late 1940s

Espresso machine, check. Coffee Roaster machine, check. Freshly roasted coffee beans, check. Cast Iron Skillet, check.

oh that one was embarassing

I wanted to eat ice cream, but instead of leaving it outside to warm a little. I heat up a spoon.

[sharp grail]

you heat up a spoon??

i hope not microwaving it

patience is a virtue

[dry stratus]

I've done that before

Personally, I run it under hot water until it's warm, but I suppose you could steam it instead

[fast marlin]

i microwave the ice cream itself for a very short time

[dry stratus]

I do too tbh

[bronze lintel]

stove

it's faster if you just put it in a flame

[muted smelt]

what ice cream does to people

[grave sand]

as a lactose intolerant person it does things to me too

still worth it tho

[night shell]

hallo

[sharp grail]

Now I want something sweet after all this ice cream talk

[sharp grail]

lol got a dates snack with hazelnuts… it’s so good but had 4 spoons of sugar’s worth in just one bar

Just from the fruit ofc but it’s sooo sweet

[muted smelt]

dates fruit is usually too sweet for me

[sharp grail]

yeah it’s super sweet, I usually use it to add some sweetness to smoothies without actual sugar and not by itself

But more than one or two is a lot

however I woke up from a nap with a great need for something sweet, even though all I’ve been eating today is fruit… but that snack bar was way sweeter than I remembered

[muted smelt]

random thought : something sweet hmm..... oh yeah sushi eggs are sweet

[night shell]

Hmm I thought something else

💀

[muted smelt]

oh yeah, there are dates milk here. they are super good

wonder if its only here in SEA region

[mild pelican]

how about some curd cheese

[muted smelt]

cheese are expensive here and so shops dont really stock much

[sharp grail]

I wonder if you could just make that with date honey and milk 🤔

[muted smelt]

maybe! though the tasty ones im thinking of are factory made. never sure how they make those

[mossy trail]

Why heat up ice cream, it's gonna be not cold and not solid that way

[muted smelt]

fry them instead

[mossy trail]

Why is in internet culture "attention seeking" is treated like a war crime like I don't get it what's bad about it

[mild pelican]

it's bad cause you just want attention
you don't want my heart

[tall owl]

urgh i want spaghetti ice cream

[serene tulip]

I'd try it

[tall owl]

it‘s so good

[bronze lintel]

Isn't that just ice cream that went through a sieve essentially?

Or... actual cold spaghetti served with ice cream?

[serene tulip]

or spaghetti flavored ice cream

[mild pelican]

but how do spaghetti taste

[tall owl]

It‘s vanilla ice that goes through a press so it becomes spaghetti, draped over a core of whipped cream (that becomes slightly icy), and then some sauce over it. Strawberry for the classic look, and white chocolate sprinkles for the parmesan

[mild pelican]

ooh

their spec ops contract cold weather gear is apparently top notch

havent had any of their stuff but would if I could

[faint panther]

because youre doing something just so people look at you

the online equivalent of a homeless person harrassing people at a train station

attention seeking usually from a bad thing

just merely wanting viewers isnt the negative "attention seeking"

[vocal yoke]

i gotta check thrifts

but that sole pattern goes so hard I love joy division

[mossy trail]

isn't a homeless person harassing people actively invading personal space of other people which does not correlate with what people call attention seeking

[faint panther]

nope

shouting at you from afar

is also harassment

[mossy trail]

that would equal to dming random people

[faint panther]

no like standing in a public place shouting

[mossy trail]

that would equal to dming a lot of random people

[faint panther]

everyone wants attention its just not everyone resorts to doing that

that would be equal to posting a video online

youre in public with an agenda and are seeking attention forcefully

[mossy trail]

internet isn't a public space in the same way as say a square is

thats why attention seeking is bad

everyone is doing it but theres degrees to it

theres a difference between a billboard and starting fights to get your name out there

thats why people use "attention seeking" in reference to certain behavior

[mossy trail]

posting a video online would equal to standing with a sign somewhere on the square

[faint panther]

nope it would be like saying something out loud in public

you want people to hear you which is why you go and post it online

otherwise youd have kept it to yourself or posted it on your private account or something

[mossy trail]

how so

if you scroll past a post you will stop seeing it, you won't hear it anymore, like a sign

[faint panther]

yeah if you walk by the guy screaming you wont hear it anymore

you want a reaction to your thing by doing whatever youre doing

and people say youre attention seeking when youre blatant about it and when you use certain techniques to force a reaction out of people

like going out and saying outrageous things people disagree with

[serene tulip]

man

[mossy trail]

it takes a lot more effort to go out of hearing range rather than scrolling past something or turning around from a sign

so a sign is a more accurate analogy

[serene tulip]

I was dozing and almost to nap and I was like, "screw it I'm gonna nap" so I got up to turn off the lights but that woke me up enough that I didn't feel like napping anymore

[mossy trail]

shouting as analogy would work for pinging everyone

[mossy trail]

happens so often to me smh

when I gotta sleep and I'm sleepy but then I gotta go to the toilet and I go but when I return I no longer want to sleep and by the time I get sleepy I need to go to the toilet again and the cycle repeats

[sharp grail]

i just made carrot and apple juice so delicious

[vocal yoke]

Bruh I analysed the Across the Spiderverse poster and supossedly on the left of Miles there's those against him and on the right side there's those with him

[dry stratus]

I'm hoping to get a juicer for my mum this month they're not cheap though

[sharp grail]

i think we might have gotten ours from a friend

[dry stratus]

Lucky! I'm thinking of getting a slow or cold presser because nutrients

Also... Pulp...

[fast marlin]

you know how i am incredibly accident prone

i’m also literally blind as in: I will be bleeding (i am right now it’s fine part of my toenail came off) and i just did not see for literal hours ???

this should be some kind of superpower

also the cold strill hasnt gone away 😔😔

[fast marlin]

they really arent tbh

[serene tulip]

brainfog sucks

[fast marlin]

[bronze lintel]

you mean a vitamix juicer?

it's great

but it do be expensive

[vocal yoke]

They got cronuts at lidl gad dayum

[earnest cargo]

Uuuu those look good!

[vocal yoke]

ye i love cronuts

[dry stratus]

I was thinking nutribullet

Vitamixes are perhaps too fancy for me

[bronze lintel]

Well if it's good, it's good

[fast marlin]

we have a vitamix blender its great

[sharp grail]

my mom had a food processor but she just got a ninja blender and it’s very nice, she just made hummus with it and it actually tastes like it would in a restaurant

Actually even better

[dry stratus]

I have a ninja blender too! They're so good. I know they have a cold presser juicer model but I gotta look into it more

Id sell my kidney and soul for this

[tall owl]

Could get https://www.casio.com/intl/watches/casio/product.AE-1200WH-1AV/ with a similar aesthetics for a bit less

[vocal yoke]

Oh that's a classic

But I plan on a Gshock rn

Plus if I was to get a world time tbh Id get it in a metallic config

[tall owl]

Metal casios are weirdly expensive

[vocal yoke]

Eh kinda

Lemme show you mine

not the best angle but it's a negative display and a gun metal grey bracelet and case

40 euros

literally so worth it

[rugged cliff]

Why does Casio make everything. I have a keyboard and a calculator made by them

[vocal yoke]

Nah not everything they just do watches, instruments and calculators

[mild pelican]

i had Casio audiotape player back in childhood

[serene tulip]

Its an east-asia thing. Look at Samsung or Yamaha

"OK, now that we've bought a good piano I'd like to spend the rest of my inheritance on a motorcycle" "Well, what a coincidence!"

economies of scale work in all sorts of weird ways.

[vocal yoke]

Yamaha is kinda good tbh, they make instruments which I got one and it's nice, also motorbikes and jet skis. Oh they also developed the exhaust for the Lexus LFA which is pure neuron activation.

[dry stratus]

@serene tulip fam do you have any gym shoe recs

Metcons are beginning to cheese me off but I'm not sure if I'm wearing them right

[zinc willow]

is pyre good

[forest basalt]

ya

[zinc willow]

is it as good as hades

[forest basalt]

ya

[zinc willow]

cool

ill wishlist it

[sharp grail]

its very good, but quite a bit more niche - if youre looking for the same gameplay hades has it wont really have that, and its a lot of reading

the gameplay aside from the reading is more like a sports game, and its also only 15 hours long, more or less, depeding on your reading speed

[mossy trail]

Skin is gross I want metal cover

[mild pelican]

"the moment i understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me"

[muted smelt]

metal cover? how about orchestral

[mossy trail]

How about orchestral metal

[muted smelt]

sounds good! but what does that look like

[mossy trail]

An orchestra but there are also 8 guitars of various types in it and everything is electric and everyone are dressed goth

I guess

my people are all 30. actually brought your sinclair instead of using mine lol

oops meant for video game channel

[serene tulip]

I use Adidas powerlifts 2 for everything but deadlift and I deadlift in my socks. But it's one of those things where your personal experience matters a lot so I would see if you could find a place where you can try them on. Not only fit but heel height.

Also, if it's not obvious, I'm a dedicated powerlifter. These shoes aren't great for running 😛

[dry stratus]

Good lifting shoe rec though, thank you!

The tricky thing w metcons is that yes they can be used for running but it's more so for shorter intervals

I'm experiencing heel slippage with the new pair I just got and 🙃

[orchid roost]

For smoldering air, does capped at 25% mean I can’t build up past 25% or it just stops auto filling after 25%?

Oh wrong chat

[fast marlin]

hey guys

[fast marlin]

going to see cats in like

40 minutes

[fickle sentinel]

Hope you enjoy it

Always nice to go see a musical every once in a while

[fast marlin]

yeah i got in like a bundle of tickets with hamilton

if i could i honestly would see musicals all the time but unfortunately [gestures at island]

[fickle sentinel]

Same, except [gestures at wallet with flies coming out]

I did get to see Hadestown earlier this month with a friend, which was amazing

[fast marlin]

Dude

Hadestown is like top experiences of my life in general

I was obsessed with it for like 2 years prior to seeing it

And then i saw it (also six!!) on broadway and it was so good

If it came here id go tbh

[fast marlin]

Cats was fun!

[dry stratus]

Nice

I keep missing out on Heathers the Musical

[vocal yoke]

we got a one piece netflix adaptation

i know nothing about it but it looks accurate

also apparently now the media deems whales as not our friends

[fast marlin]

self care is so nice tbh

trying to fix my sleep schedule lately

Go Whales ‼️

[fast marlin]

orcas arent whales

theyre more like dolphins

[vocal yoke]

Idk but i hate the media !!!

[fast marlin]

fair

“the media” isnt one big monolith though

theres plently of media outlets that support whale and/or orca conservation and research them

[earnest cargo]

Orcas Ramming Boats for president

[mossy trail]

[faint panther]

Orca conversation he said.

[mossy trail]

Reading comprehension moment fr

[muted smelt]

what, you guys dont talk with orcas? smh

[mossy trail]

Only when I visit my bro neptune in his ocean palace

Orcas are the best at armwrestling ngl

[hazy estuary]

Agreed

Also, you are my new favorite person

[mossy trail]

[mossy trail]

I'm probably vegetarian now

[faint panther]

Im a cannibal.

[mossy trail]

I too am, some gods are plants

[serene tulip]

(Wake me up) Wake me up in general (can't wake up) I'm so gorram sleepy

[fast marlin]

take an animal of your choice for a walk

it will wake you up source o just did

[mossy trail]

Y'all

I just realized there's literally a third gender in russian language

[faint panther]

The object?

Neutral?

[mossy trail]

Like literally third not just "they" which exists in russian but is used as nongendered(almost never in this age though) and for plural purposes and in english it's used as nongendered and for plural purposes and there's also "it" in english which is used as nongendered or for non human things but it does not exist in russian at all because in russian literally the only non gendered words are so called non defined forms of vowels so literally every thing like literally every noun is gendered and referred to exactly as humans with the same gender however beside они(they) which is not used in singular form anymore but was used not that long ago and I think can be reintegrated easily however would still be a gender neutral pronoun, она(she) gendered pronoun number one, он(he) gender pronoun number two, there's also оно which has no equivalents in english language that I know of and is used in exactly the same ways as he and she except I've never seen it used for humans but I haven't read that many old books and it's used for sentient beings so basically exactly like he and she just without any present use for humans in the modern age

[mossy trail]

There's no specific gender for objects in russian and neutral isn't used since about the revolution not sure exactly when it went out of use but still was used in 19th century

All objects are called она or он or оно so she or he or the third thing

[mossy trail]

I'm trying to find any studies on it and so far I learnt 3 new words but nothing new about оно itself

[muted smelt]

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Russian_nouns_by_gender

neuter category seems pretty big

[mossy trail]

from my memory nouns gendered оно do not seem to take bigger or smaller part of all nouns

Also it's interesting how the day sky is entirely neuter gendered and the night sky is feminine and the uh I forgot how is in between called is masculine

Like cloud, sky, sun is all оно(the third gender) , star, moon, night is all она(she) , sunset, sunrise is он(he)

Oh also I remembered there are still cases where "they" is used singularly like twilight is они(they)
