@vahnj I haven't yet but I'd be happy to do so :)
Right now I'm drinking a lapsang, which is a black tea that's been smoked. It tastes like campfire!
Okay y'all, tea time!
If your tea is bitter you're oversteeping it. Teas are meant to be used with a specific(ish) water temperature and steep time.
Five minutes as 212F is great for a lot of black teas, but will ruin a green tea. A lot of green teas do better at like, 180F and 1-2 minutes of steep. The packaging should have directions somewhere on it!
A nice electric kettle can dial a specific water temperature target. Lacking that, let it cool a bit if the water was boiling.
@bea I first read that as "glitches to your position".
"madness" as a mechanic in games sucks. it represents something that the designer does not understand, not something that _no_ human can understand. it represents nothing because the designer didn't want to bother researching it.
just ask anybody who's experienced psychosis, chronic dissociation, etc. they will probably be able to explain to you very well what it's like. there is not a point where, oops, suddenly you're permanently and irrevocably "mad" and can't _ever_ use reason again
@awoofriend yay I can remain a loyal suricrasia customer now!

I'm looking at wktd fanart again and this one is just fucking spectacular. Spoilers. https://awoo.space/media/HceKxvYt_4ACcl4iKXY
@indi I'd rank Saturn a few points up.
"You're a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust, riding a rock, hurtling through space. Fear nothing"
No, behold:
I'm the qualia of a network of semi-stationary bacterial-like cellular cooperators. They are colonizing a fortress of skull, part of an exosuit fueled by forms of chemical energy that acts as an indirect device to capture the output of a giant fusion reactor in the sky.
I fear that which might harm the exosuit's homeostasis lest my qualia disperse into the æther.
"what do you mean that libertarian/authoritarian is a false binary in the original chart?"
"because what constitutes a freedom, or most essential of freedoms, is itself up for debate. even merely suggesting the abolition of private property for the sake of securing material freedom for most people will seem authoritarian to people outside of your particular discourse. in fact, i will go a step further and suggest that being morally certain about some things feels authoritarian to most liberals."
@mawr I have zero experience with it but my desire to make music keeps getting stronger and I think cello is the sexiest instrument.
Moving to @starkatt
I'm a leftist trans gay fox girl. More than one thing can be true at a time. I believe in agency, subjectivity, and beauty.
In my day job, I'm an apprentice electrician.
