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.

Nah, originally just any phone with a camera, as opposed to the models of earlier years which didn’t have any.

Nokia 3310 is a legendary phone everyone knows it and it predates camera phones. Not by much, but a few years. After Nokia 3310 I had a 3330 and a 5510, both which were essentially just variations of the 3310. Then I had my first colour screen 3510i, which had a colour display (4096 colours, 96x65 pixels. That one could technically display rudimentary “photos”. There weren’t any ofc, but the images you could order by SMS were amazing compared to the earlier monochromatic displays. And even with those it was hot to order yourself some funny or racy logo made up of not too many pixels. Like these.

So because everything was so much about images and backgrounds and logos, once the first camera phones camera out, even when their cameras were horrible, it meant that you could just make a custom background for your phone just like that, even if if was a photo you couldn’t even tell what of.

So yeah people called them camera phones. Then it took years until the photos were the sort of quality you could actually put up somewhere.

But Sony did have a specific K model as well as their W (Walkman) models. One was more focused on the camera and one on music.

Rant over

I’d be shit out of luck using a payphone in today’s world.

I don’t remember anyone’s phonenumbers except my teenage girlfriend’s family, because while she has changed her phone number, the mother and brother were just 1 number off so I remember them, especially because the first 7 numbers are same as mine.

But aside from that, idk, maybe my own mother and brother.

But I haven’t learned a phone number in fucking decades.

Pretty cool though as you know they’re there, so either you can use the WiFi with your own device or just remember a few numbers in case you run out of charge.

I mean, you’re right, sure, but it’s easier biting an outie than an innie.

Getting your chompers around someone’s chocolate starfish would be a challenge, don’t you think?
