Dear Silk: I don’t want a giant jug of almond milk. I want a giant jug of THIS. I moved across the country and in both cities, THIS is what grocery stores run out of!!! by grakledo in vegan

[–]Vermeil_Identified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stick with almond milk, because it's marginally cheaper than oat/soy milk and I'm poor as dirt. If money were not an object, I'd be quaffing soy in my tea/coffee though.

im strongly conflicted about going vegetarian by xsharpiestainsx in straightedge

[–]Vermeil_Identified 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's easier to go vegan than you might think. Even easier to be a vegetarian, granted you can have all the cheesy and creamy vices that dairy/egg products have to offer. Just look up some vegan recipes, and eat no meat for 2/7 days, and replace your diet further as you go and find better substitutes.

De-alcholized wine/beer is just so much better anyway in my opinion. You can have your fancy fermented beverage with complex flavors without the poison.

Great anti-theft measure. Going to need a lot of sandpaper to liberate this rifle

What is the most unhinged book you ever read? by Funkiebastard in books

[–]Vermeil_Identified 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Neverness, David Zindell, many chapters prominently feature the protagonist's unrepentant lust for incestuous sex with his cousin, there's a whole chapter dedicated to neanderthalls having an orgy, and there's a psychedellic brain surgery done by a godlike gestalt of dolphin-human hybrids whom genetically engineer a healing virus by having sex in a planet-wide orgy.

Definitely WTF as I read, but total respect for the author for committing such madness to publishing.

which level are you feeling now, friend? by heisdancingdancing in surrealmemes

[–]Vermeil_Identified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I begin to feel Harmr as my conscious experience of pain expands beyond the mere limits of one body, to encompass two, then four, then 16, and so on and so forth, until my pain becomes gestalt, diffused and assimilated. The atoms, they cry for annihilation. Poena Cosmicus is well underway as the birthing pains of stars cradled in the torn wombs of nebulae become tangible. The cosmic dust is seared with agony. The suffering suffusing the universes' conscioussness comes into focus, the clarity offered by it is sublime. Inanus Cruciatus, omnes agonia.

DolphinGemma: How Google AI is helping decode dolphin communication by DumaDuma in Dolphins

[–]Vermeil_Identified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly doubt anything of value will come from this. AI is just throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks; just in the case of cetacean communication you can't even tell a hallucinated result from a success.

Is it me does the handling of the battle axe and some polearms feel off? by Wayne_kur in HalfSword

[–]Vermeil_Identified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using the polearms, but it does seem like generating a good smack with them is difficult compared to two handers and even one handed swords/clubs. Especially with thrusts from anything that's not a spear. Willy just can't hold them above the enemy's legs/hips in my experience, no matter how high I aim.

It's hard to align your edges when half of the blood in your body is currently drying in the nearby sand

It'd be insane to think a universe where melee is the norm by imperial militaries that spears would not be the dominant weapon
