So I’m looking forward to read your drunken beer reviews.

[/quote]I didn’t know, so I looked it up. According to Aussie home brewers, it’s got a lot of hop flavor, it uses Australian hops specifically which gives it a more fruity, tropical flavor. Bit maltier to balance it out. Using Australian ingredients is at the least strongly encouraged, if not required.
I am legitimately concerned that I am less weirded out by this:
than I am by this:
I don’t know why this made me laugh so much.

I saw (and shared) that video on Facebook earlier today. It literally made me cry with laughter. No idea why.

I was doing fine until the card shuffling. Then I laughed out loud so hard coworkers asked what was so funny.

I didn’t laugh at all. It’s absurdist, sure, but I don’t get why you guys think it’s funny.

I hate when people argue that a certain game or movie is bad because it has a political message. This is especially common in video game circles where anything diverse is considered an attack on “traditional video games.” The problem isn’t diversity, the problem is that most video game writing is awful and hamfisted which leads people who already had reactionary views to think that all diversity is detrimental. Blame the writer, not the idea.

I think generally people get up in arms because of that because they’re generally afraid of being confronted with issues in society and would rather they just don’t exist, or exist within a paradigm they’re comfortable with. The interesting thing is that they probably are interacting with these issues in media in ways they don’t notice. Usually because the approach is more nuanced and not as superficial as video games tend to be. The part I don’t know about is whether or not being subtle is always a good thing. I would argue most people are not inclined to understand a work’s themes. So the issues tackled in those works are usually lost with no impact to the consumer.
The tomato was too real.

“Clocks that read time via received radio signals have several advantages over their Internet-connected, NTP-synchronised brethren…”
I used to have a watch that relied on synchronization via radio. It was fantastic…when I took it with me to England. It was borderline useless here, it was awful at keeping accurate time without the radio signal.
