I sincerely think that it is about what you’re used to. I used to drink coffee with whole milk, which I loved, but I wanted to stop drinking cow milk. I started using UNsweetened silk soy milk and first I didn’t like it as much. It honestly took me a week or two to get used to it, but at this point I absolutely prefer it. Luckily I could purposely align my taste buds with my morals 😂

Regarding oat milk, the black barista containers are my favorite. I agree that oat milk can be thin, but like I said before, I think you can get used to and appreciate any coffee additive. And at a cafe, I would choose oat milk for any espresso drink.

Side note: I couldn’t find the green unsweetened container at the grocery store last week, so I bought the container that has a little bit of sugar. I hate it. It should be basically the same thing, but it’s different enough that I am put off. It still cuts the acidity of the coffee, so I’m drinking it, but it’s definitely not what I prefer. Bodies are so weird.

Edit: by the end of this week with the red silk soymilk I’m already used to it 🙄 still looking forward to going back to unsweetened, but bodies are wild.

I take my peace at home… and then end up being late.

Wasn’t it called the mantaur?

I think Mexico is one. I wonder what other countries.

How do you figure?.. Is this an IQ joke? in a room of 1000, where you are smarter than 345 people, you are also dumber than 654 people. You’d be the 346th dumbest person.

Edit: Change 346 to 345.

Is this about the dress? 😸

Like, White Pelican, not white pelican… I ask because it doesn’t have the dark wing feathers, and I’ve never seen that. After searching, it might be a Great White Pelican not an American White Pelican.

… Though it’s definitle great, even if it’s not Great.

Is this a white pelican?

Deathbed regret is not working more! Text too small to read! Fighting demonic forces!

Catnip bubbles??

I don’t know Owl House, but I am 36 and watch Bluey when I’m sick or can’t sleep.

Edit: Okay, I watched a preview for the Owl House, and that makes me remember how amazing a job Critical Role is doing at their animated series. It’s so fucking good. And they curse all the time, so it’s definitely not for kids?

Good to know. Amazing how much racism we allowed pre-2000. I mostly remember the different spellings of faulty towers at the beginnings of the episodes.

Er… Freaks and Geeks? I’m trying to watch Stranger Things but its just Too Much, so I might be extra nostalgic. Also Star Trek. All of them, but especially Next Gen (obviously) and Deep Space Nine. Haha! I don’t watch much television.

I also really like the short videos by City Nerd and Not Just Bikes, but that’s not fiction.

Edit: I’d like to add the Critical Role animated series. They are doing such a good job. Can I also add Bluey for when you’re feeling sick?? Not exactly a series I’d sit down and watch, but it is seven minutes of greatness.

I don’t lock my personal computer. It’s my husband & me at home, and he’s fine to use my device (even though he normally wouldn’t).

ChatGPT for sure saves conversations.

Chat GPT was super affirming about a job I recently applied to… I did not get the job. That was my first experience with it affirming something that was personally important. And so I can absolutely see how this would affect someone in other ways.

I thought my state was the worst, but turns out Miami takes the cake. Grand Theft Auto was basically accurate.

I would also say I can picture a smell, but maybe “imagine” is a better word.

Synesthesia is any kind of crossing of senses. I had a friend in college who had synesthesia for colors and smells and shapes (I apparently smell like a purple and orange blobby shape) but she also had these weird ways of visualizing time that was also in a similar vein. It’s pretty complex and multifaceted.

Edit: This thread is delightfully full of giddy 90s trolls who are goofing on absolutely everything.

I… I think i was talking about the waxy cups? But maybe that’s fondant, too. (Though, somehow my smell association with fondant is the cold freezer-burn smell.)

That weird waxy coating, right?
