Oh. My bad. TIL

Okay, you got me there. What about “Iran used to be nicer”? Would that be okay?

I assume it’s to avoid the disinformation running rampant which made the US give up on reason as well. And India is so tightly populated that they really can’t mess around with measles outbreaks.

Depends on where you’re from and what the regulations are, might have been just non-denatured high% vodka essentially. As so much was needed regulations weren’t the strictest everywhere.

Anyway, I’m not gonna believe you before I see you take a mouthful of 80% alc and swirl it around your mouth and smack smack smack mmm. Without making any sort of sour face.

Because if you do, then that’s actually medically concerning, because that’s a poison and we have systems in our bodies to make us not ingest poisons easily. As in, that’s why we can taste bitter. Alcohol isn’t bitter per se but it’s a volatile solvent, and at those percentages it’s just not in anything way a taste. It’s a sensation.

I may be wrong, but I don’t believe you. You also say you don’t "really drink, so I’m thinking a younger person who’s had a small hit and enjoyed the aftereffects and can’t now discern them.

When you talk about “ethanol for disinfection”, do you mean denatured alcohol? Because if so, I believe you even less.

Well yes, Iran used to be nice.

Unfortunately they had/have oil.

Yeah I’m not gonna believe this before I see you drinking 80% alcohol without making a sour face.

It’s less about respecting Cheney and more about excluding Trump out of something. He’s such a baby it will make him furious.

I read that in the voice of Frank Skinner.

Wait wait wait.

Sooo… a theocratic nation lead by irrational bigots, using decades old ultracapitalistic plans… aren’t getting shit done?

I just played for the first time ever.

Realistic af. Even got the older wounds bleeding

Vodka and oysters?

Boogers seasoned with hospital smell? That’s how I imagine it being, at least.

Edit gibe me dark rum and beef tartar instead

You mean billionaires who are murderers, not people willing to murder billionaires?

Because the latter is what I prefer.

You’re right. Sure. We could do that.

Or we can just accept that the Wizarding World is actually made for children and not planned out in the same detail as Middle-Earth & Tolkien’s languages.

I mean I’m on your side sort of, but in the books most of the Elves do prefer having a master and not getting paid. Which one could and probably should equate to slavery.

Hogwarts is like a super prestigious job for the house elves and none of them want to be paid or freed. Although idk who their master would be technically. They sort of imply it’s the headmaster at least.

Winky is just broken after she gets freed. Or fired as she sees it. A hit to her honor, and then she becomes a drunk when they go to work for Hogwarts with Dobby, but even then Winky refuses to get paid iirc.

But yeah there’s a lot of out of context things. Fuck Rowling but I still like Potter. Not gonna give any money tho

Yes… and? (I’m Finnish.)

Huh. Seems like a version of cursive s, but am not sure.

The girlfriend I had when I was a teenager — decades ago.

I’m sure that was clear from the context but I’m not gonna leave that hanging no matter how much of a joke, lol.

I have no important people or anyone who would care about me, so needless for me, but a fair idea for those who do.

I don’t even have an emergency contact anymore.
