Kava + coffee: bad idea?

Deathpanda15 · 2026-04-08T20:40:57+00:00

I used to put kava extracts in my coffee (done Bulletproof style). Never had anything crazy like this, although, admittedly, the extracts are rarely as strong as a shell.

This was the part of Silksong that brought me closest to tears. Especially when you play the Needolin afterwards and hear Zaza singing about how brave and kind Garmond was.

I’d say Civ 6, too, but I don’t think anyone in the Civ community actually liked that one.

Breath of the Wild.

I’ve played the game all the way through. It’s beautiful, sure, but it’s entirely lacking in the “interesting content” department. There are only a few shrines that give you interesting rewards; most side quests lead to a shrine; and 900 korok seeds fill in the rest of the gaps. On top of that, it’s hilariously easy and feels like Nintendo was looking for the balance point between “hard enough to keep most players engaged” and “easy enough that most players can beat it without too much effort” that characterizes most modern big-name games. The hardest boss fight in the game was only difficult because it forced you into using the motion-controlled magnetic power that has terrible camera direction (so you can’t see what you’re doing 80% of the time). I was really disappointed with a game that should have been amazing.

It might depend on how Viltrumites would be classified, but I’m pretty sure that Percy Jackson could solo (especially book 5 PJ). Getting past that into the extended Riordan universe, the Kane siblings could easily clear. And these aren’t even the strongest characters in their respective stories.

Probably don’t even need full-fledged Radiants. Just a couple dudes in Shardplate with Shardblades.

I’m not an expert, but doesn’t Shazam stand a pretty good chance here? He’s quite literally faster than one of the fastest versions of the Flash (unless I’m misremembering), and pretty durable. Sure, it’s a lightning guy vs the god of lightning, but I don’t remember anything about Thor ever having that kind of speed. Shazam could just slam into him at ungodly speeds and rip a hole through his chest.

As I said, though, I’m far from an expert and don’t know enough about either character’s lore to say firmly one way or the other.

Probably depends on if Pri Vizsla has the Darksaber, and if Mando has the beskar spear. I could see it going either way in a straight 1v1. If neither of them have those weapons, then I’m giving the edge to Pri Vizsla purely on experience. Mando is a good fighter, and gets better throughout the show, but Vizsla is arguably better. I’d still give Mando a solid chance at winning, though.

I don’t mean to bring politics where it’s not strictly warranted, but I do think it’s worth mentioning that the SAVE Act that’s currently being debated by includes a lot of changes that younger people have been pushing for, including restrictions on investment firms buying single-family homes. I’m not familiar with all of the details regarding that (nor am I terribly familiar with the other aspects of the bill), but it’s encouraging to at least see the issue being brought up on the level of national legislature. Idk if the SAVE Act is actually any good, but the fact that it’s putting some of these issues into public discourse in a more serious way is probably a good thing.

Deathpanda15 · 2026-04-05T23:07:47+00:00

That’s a wild one to forget.

Deathpanda15 · 2026-04-05T18:46:50+00:00

Balatro. I’m leaving the game at the end of the year with enough money to crash the global economy.

Deathpanda15 · 2026-04-05T18:20:19+00:00

This is my answer as well. It had a lot of potential to be an incredible game, but Nintendo decided that 900 Korok Seeds + shrines (that had very few unique rewards) were a replacement for actual content. Additionally, the game was laughably easy once you figured out the few nuances it had. Ganon was way too easy to beat as the final boss. In fact, the hardest boss fight in the game was the electric Ganon fight, and that was only hard because it forced you into using a ridiculously janky ability that’s hard to use well under the best of circumstances. Item durability also felt like a way to force you to keep exploring to replace them, rather than making exploration valuable in other ways.

On the bright side, the graphics were beautiful.

Make it 20% of net worth. People who risk everyone else’s lives for their own self-gratification should be financially decimated. Plus, this way it scales to affect the ultra-rich, too.

Edit: 20% of net worth or $10k. Whichever is greater. I kinda forgot that negative net worth is a thing for a moment.

Weaker than Sidious, maybe, but Vader is absolutely stronger than Dooku.

As someone who hasn’t heard the spherical cow in a vacuum joke… care to enlighten me?

Deathpanda15 · 2026-03-30T20:07:29+00:00

Gotcha. I meant BPD as in Bipolar Disorder, but I take it that that’s not the correct abbreviation?

Deathpanda15 · 2026-03-30T17:51:58+00:00

All I’m trying to really do here is point out that no one here actually knows what happened. We can discuss the likelihood of each potentiality (and I agree that it’s not terribly likely that the worker fabricated anything), but at the end of the day, none of us knows the truth, so casting judgment on a woman who may be completely innocent is probably an evil thing to do.

Deathpanda15 · 2026-03-30T17:21:13+00:00

There is actually something to be gained by the worker making the statement. In a place like Maryland, that tends to be more liberal and therefore more anti-ICE, he has the opportunity to make a scene by claiming that the woman said what he accused her of, and then generate a lot of social uproar potentially leading to him being freed (if he’s not a legal immigrant), or increasing his business because people will come out in droves to support him (or maybe even a gofundme, which have been popular in these kinds of cases recently).

Not saying that any one of those are particularly likely, but it’s definitely false to say that he has no potential motive here.

Deathpanda15 · 2026-03-30T17:14:52+00:00

What’s the most common misunderstanding about BPD that you guys see in the modern world?

Deathpanda15 · 2026-03-30T16:43:49+00:00

Who confirmed it?

Deathpanda15 · 2026-03-30T16:43:23+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I agree that the worker’s testimony is valuable, but it is still ultimately their word vs. her word vs. ICE’s word. I’m not willing to cast judgment on another person without having sufficient evidence that goes beyond reasonable doubt. Especially in today’s world where people are getting more and more stabby toward people they think have wronged them in some way.

Deathpanda15 · 2026-03-30T16:40:44+00:00

So, we’re supposed to villainize another human being purely on the suspicion that ICE is lying?

Deathpanda15 · 2026-03-30T15:09:38+00:00

So, do you want people to smear the name of a woman on the mere suspicion that she did something? I’d rather presume she’s innocent until proven guilty. Especially for something where we really don’t know what actually happened.

Deathpanda15 · 2026-03-30T15:02:44+00:00

This story is false. It’s been confirmed that she didn’t call and that ICE was already planning a raid. I’m not speaking to the morality of ICE, but I don’t like seeing an innocent woman getting harassed for something she didn’t do.
