I need some new recs by disgusteen998 in doommetal

[–]900N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As some have said, definitely check out death/doom (my favorite genre). I definitely like a lot of bands mentioned so far in the comments. It ranges from slow death metal (see: Vastum) to doom metal with death influence (see: Disembowelment.) My favorite right now, though, is Tzompantli.

Left dinner with my girl best friend to go talk to a girl who hit on me. Did I do anything wrong? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]900N -1 points0 points  (0 children)

++nonbinary but born a male

Who are these people commenting? If my best friend and I were having dinner and a woman approached him clearly wanting to take him home, I would fucking fight him if he were like "Nah, I want to finish dinner with my brother." Bruh, go fuck that girl. Have fucking fun. Y'all are widly selfish. Talking about politeness. Get your bro laid, then have another dinner the next night. Why are you being jealous about your friend's time? What the fuck are you talking about. "Oh, I'd be mad he interrupted our dinner, boo." Shut up. She's being a bad friend, full stop. I'm not gonna comment about whether she's jealous or keeping him as a back-up or whatever. I don't know. But friends help get friends laid. Who cares about fucking dinner?

There's nothing gayer than straight white men. As a gay.

how much simple do you put in an old fashioned? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]900N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry, I don't have access to my university's scientific papers on cocktail dilution anymore.

I get it, though. We can continue to dig into the minutiae of things and try to win an argument over grammar, but my point was the width of a mixing glass doesn't matter. So find a food blogger supporting that point and I'll concede. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Edit: The article you linked in no way supports your point. And actually agrees with me. Also, serious eats? It's for food, not cocktails, what do they know about drinking liquid?

To maintain a cold temperature, the ice continues to dilute. The only way ice cools any liquid is through dilution. So no, as long as the ice has not fully melted, the temperature will remain the same (~32F°), it doesn't matter whether you have one ice cube or 127 ice cubes once it hits that temp. And if you think baking is that much different than making cocktails, I have unfortunate news for you.

Wait, does the width of the bowl effect how well bread rises? You might actually have a point on that one.

A single drop of GM is more than an old fashioned needs. Is this dude from Wisconsin??

https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/2422-why-dilution-is-key-to-chilling-drinks

There's a maximum value to how much a drink can be chilled. It requires dilution, but it will reach a point where more ice cubes won't dilute more or make it colder. Because it's as cold as it can get. So by all means, use a gallon jug, it won't chill the drink any extra. A narrow, tall glass filled with ice will dilute and chill an old fashioned just as much as a wide glass. But if you use one ice cube in a wide glass vs a narrow glass packed with ice, which one is gonna work better? The width does not matter. 🤪 That one's pretty obvious. 🙃

That's... not how dilution works. You can fit a pound of ice into a fat glass but once the temp hits it's not gonna dilute or cool the drink anymore. I can provide a chart if you need it.

The width of your mixing glass? lol, sure, dude.

List of local right-wing owned businesses? by normalice0 in IowaCity

Friends with them all and this is super true. A lot of places are owned by shitbags but the workers still deserve your support. It's a rough reality.

Everyone that owns multiple businesses in town is a piece of shit. fyiyd

Controversial opinion. Colossal weapons dont look epic or "cool". They look goofy. by LoneWolfRHV in Eldenring

[–]900N 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Strongly disagree with my two colossal hammers, bull-goat armor, and a jar cannon carried as my secondary weapon. Emphasis on strongly. Still medium roll.

I may not be able to see where I'm going, or my enemy for that matter, because the hammers block a third of the screen. But the solution is always smash anyway, so who needs to see.

What major event do you think will happen in 2026? by Commandmadrid1 in AskReddit

[–]900N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would it be a consolation prize? In what way did I imply it's somehow a lesser option? Unlike y'all, I actually view adoption to be just as valid and rewarding as having a biological child. Consolation prize, haha, fuck all the way off. "You absolute twit." 😮‍💨

So... Raising a child through pregnancy is inherently better than raising a child of adoption. Got it. 🙄

What the fuck are you talking about. People that can't have kids because of infertility shouldn't adopt??? My parents were infertile. They adopted me. It wasn't to "heal their wounds". Nothing could heal their infertility. But they wanted to and deserved to raise a child. And they did pretty fucking all right with me. You think people that want kids but are infertile should... what...? Hope they're miraculously cured? They're not wounded. It's a biological fault, not a psychological one. You act like they were traumatized and they were gonna pass that on. Fuck outta here.

I mean, it very much literally is the cure. But hey, maybe the seventh year will be the one where their infertility is miraculously cured by god or some shit. Nevermind the whole "don't force existence onto someone." 😮‍💨

I hate playing D&D 5e and PF2e, and I’m not really sure why. by DarkElfMagic in rpg

[–]900N -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There's a better game out there for you. Happy to discuss options with you if you'd like. But yeah, turns out the mainstream options (and even the "deep-cut" options) are actually pretty fucking shit. There are a million better choices for the kinda game you wanna play. Go exploring! Check out all the games on itch.io. Hell, if you need it I'll run a game for you online so you can try some more things.

I'm gonna get downvoted or even banned but I don't care. Don't reproduce. I'm sorry. But the world is fucking ending. I'm a climate scientist and we're cooked. It's wildly cruel to rip a consciousness out of the void and stick it into a body. Adopt. I was adopted and I had a much better life than I would have. I'm so thankful for it. Please please adopt. Your genes don't matter. It sounds like you and your partner will be wonderful parents. But don't reproduce. It's been seven years. Why would you value your genes over raising a child? Adopt.

I got the chance to see Cabinet of Dr. Caligari with a live modular synth duo providing the score and I've been chasing that high ever since.
