It sounds like you ate bad peanut butter. It should absolutely never taste bitter for any reason.

It’s easy to be humble when the public showers you with praise. The real test of someone’s character is when you earn the public ire.
Do they grow and reflect, or dig in their heels and lash out? I think we learned how that worked out for Musk.
To be fair, people (on average) are a LOT worse at driving than a computer. I’d bet the percentage of humans driving into walls is much higher than self driving vehicles.
Considering that New Vegas had a production window of 18 months, where Fallout 4’s was 7 years, I’d say it’s a fair comparison.
Not OP, but I don’t want anything associated with Meta, Twitter, Reddit or any other social media monolith involved in the Fediverse. It feels like inviting a mafia boss to dinner and someone saying “Hey! He’s just here for dinner!”
You know I love and support people who live life their own way. However, every single poly person I have ever met has been so incredibly elitist about being poly it puts a bad taste in my mouth.
It is so silly to act like your subjective opinion about what works best for you is objectively better and people who live differently have chose an “inferior” lifestyle.
What if we just dropped the arrogance and let people live their lives the way they wanted to without judgement? Every poly community I’ve interacted with seems like that scene from South Park of people sniffing their own farts out of a wine glass.
That’s exactly right! Drop a small piece in a vial, add the solution, and after a short wait it turns a certain color. The test kit comes with a color wheel that indicates what substance you have based on the color in the vial.
And yes! My username is based on the infantry unit of the pre-Marian Reforms Roman Republic. I grew up playing Rome: Total War so the name is a love letter to the game as well. Thanks for the compliment! What does your username mean to you? My first guess is it’s a reference to Mr. T but that might be just an assumption on my part.
For what it’s worth you can easily buy test kits online. I use products from Bunk Police to test any substance I put into my body.
I’ve been working my way through Perdido Street Station after a friend recommended it to me. It’s a fictional story set in a fictional industrial revolution era setting.
The world building is top notch, the prose is excellent, and I’m enjoying the story. But there is just SO much body horror. Some of it is minor, like a main character whose race has human bodies but beetle-like heads.
Others are not so minor, like a wealthy man whose body is formed from many other species limbs attached to him like Picasso’s worst nightmare. Also the draconian magistrates of this city/society punish people by turning them into a race called “Remade”. People who have their bodies altered/deformed by integrating materials (like metal) or body parts (same species or otherwise) as a form of legal punishment.
It really is a fantastic read but the pronouncement of the aforementioned theme means I have to take breaks.
It’s not Brotherhood, just Full Metal Alchemist. Brotherhood was made in response to what a mess the original series was. Fans largely pretend the original series never happened and just tell people to watch Brotherhood instead.
Aside from being more accurate to the manga, Brotherhood is darker and more geared for an older audience than the original show was.
