@_h2rtkos @heatheryuann @classfrenemy It's a thing at a few places. Five Guys was where I first saw it (and enjoyed). Not entirely common but you'll see people dip in sauces that are all vinegar based

@heatheryuann @classfrenemy is this me learning americans don't put vinegar on their chips?? i only just got my head round the fact they don't butter their sandwiches

@ToiletTweeting_ @chhopsky @naranciagaming If you're over a year out and you need to convince a publisher to provide more money, it's polished slices and screenshots or unemployment. It's a tough spot. Studios with reputations for performance aren't going to capitulate, but that's part of their brand

turns out you can make ue5 actually look and run well if you give just a little bit of a shit
SPRAWL zero@SPRAWLfps
Some people have asked if SPRAWL zero is on the Source engine. We tuned Unreal to give the most authentic Y2K experience we could.
English
@ToiletTweeting_ @chhopsky @naranciagaming If you're reliant on funding, social media posts, store pages, etc you're going to need highly polished screenshots, and they have to be actually representing your product.
English
@chhopsky @naranciagaming But why don't they just enable the lower spec graphical features? If it ran better I imagine it'd be better received
English
@lunacy_chair @buahchavala Maybe but if I have someone to watch letterbox (or imdb, or any mainstream rating) top list they'd love movies more, and I had them read the lit top 100 they'd probably quit reading.
English
@buahchavala taste-having readers do not really engage with book logging apps. occasional tracking yes, but not reviews or list-making. the /lit/ top 100 would be the counterpart here

@SpencerZobrist @speerman42 It is not 50 years ago, and we somehow don't observe these child deaths every November, and the actual cited case was bullshit anyway.
And heart attack risk (+stroke) is from the time change, not the time it's changed to. Driving in the dark is more dangerous with more traffic
English
@MJMelanc @speerman42 When the US experimented with year round DST there was a significant uptick in child traffic deaths in the mornings. So it evens out. Plus under DST people have more heart attacks, and a whole stream of other cascading negative health effects. It literally reduces lifespan.

People that like standard time are strange folks. Is there actually people that like it dark at 8:00 all summer? And 5:30 in the winter? Permanent daylights savings is the answer.
James Anderson White@jamesawhiite
It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered. You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day. This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm. The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone. A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time. Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans. We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all. Fix the time zones and affix standard time.
English
@SpencerZobrist @speerman42 Driving home in the dark increases fatality risk for drivers and pedestrians. We don't see the same effect in morning transit
English
@speerman42 The difference between 5:30PM and 6:30PM in Winter is not significant. You weren't going to do anything with that time anyways.
The difference between 8:00AM and 9:00AM in winter is very significant. Going to work in the dark is terrible for your health.

@BallerStatusCat @speerman42 Start school later if it's a problem in your district.
English
@speerman42 Just thinking about kids walking to school/waiting for the bus in the morning during the school year.
English
@kpatrickpayne @jjhancock24 @SaveStandard Look, I know moving school has impacts on work, but you could have shorter school days in the depths of winter as well. You could have longer school years in the north. You could have year-round school. We can actually make things better and not be a slave to bad time zones
English
@MJMelanc @jjhancock24 @SaveStandard So you want to move the time up an hour just to move work and school and everything up an hour too? 🤔
English
If this passes I’m gonna lose my mind. Some of us like putting our kids to bed before 10pm
Leading Report@LeadingReport
President Trump indicates he will sign bill making daylight saving time permanent.

@kpatrickpayne @SaveStandard You won’t be alone. I lived through it in 1974 and it was a disaster!!! Nothing like going to school when it is pitch dark out!

@bctwentytwenty @SeanCooperPoems He didn't make it from spring to summer in Alaska.
English
@SeanCooperPoems He survived in extreme conditions for years and only died when he made two unforeseeable mistakes in a row.

One of my crank opinions is ppl didn't read Into the Wild & I agree w/ Krakauer: McCandless used guide books showing a plant was safe to eat, didn't say a part was toxic. He lived 4 months off the land SUCCESSFULLY (critics try it) & would've been able to cross the river back.
Hot Take Appreciator@IHateNYT
It costs $0 to enter the Alaskan bush with minimal supplies, hoping to live simply off the land. You can forage for berries and use an abandoned bus as a makeshift shelter until your death. Everyone did it when I was a kid

@kebab_traume42 @WeltgeistYT No my dude, could here implies that it could as a probability of product not as a probability of reality. Sorry you can't make your (incorrect) points very well

@MJMelanc @WeltgeistYT Read my comment again. If you could read properly, you probably would have noticed that I used word "could" twice and mentioned high alcohol concentration

Absinthe causing hallucinations has got to be one of the stranger psyops out there. It's literally just alcohol.

@MJMelanc @WeltgeistYT The knowledge about the amount of thujone in 19th century absinthe is based on the analysis of a couple of bottles, that's not enough to say was it or no
English
@VashKohime In like the pilot there's a scene of Locke playing chess and then just describes the plot of the entire show. Like just them going "that scene on The Wire was dope let's do that"
English
It was interesting sitting down and watching all of LOST expecting a bunch of unanswered questions like the cultural reputation suggests only to get a show that sits the audience down and explains the entire plot like, multiple times. We get a full on flashback origin episode!

friendly reminder that everything on the island was REAL. they didn't die in the crash. they lived and died at different times (some on the island, some years later). the "flash-sideways" church was an afterlife purgatory they built to find each other, let go and move on together
English
@byron_leftwich @WeltgeistYT This is the usual story. Someone talks about tripping on it as a placebo but it's just a mild stimulant at best and a high abv drink except you water it down 4:1 so it's not stronger than most cocktails
English
@WeltgeistYT Its because of artimesia absythium (wormwood) if its real. Its not full on halullucination but rather a green overlay with potential for visual artifacting.
English
@kebab_traume42 @WeltgeistYT No it wasn't. Pre ban absinthe wasn't extinct and it didn't have high amounts of thujone.
English
@WeltgeistYT There's a thujone, before absent was banned, there could be a quite high concentration. That, combined with high percentage of alcohol could cause hallucinations.
English
@worstyouknow @rubysapphrald You drank turpentine or some shit. Yeah man drinking grave moonshine might be the problem there
English
@MJMelanc @rubysapphrald And that'll be a swing and a miss.
Talk to me when you too have slugged a couple glasses of the stuff that some occultist prepared according to a "traditional recipe" involving leaving it steeping on somebody's gravestone for a week.
In 1995.

i love these paintings because i’ve tried absinthe and it’s hilarious that these dudes are getting fucked up enough to hallucinate green baddies on a drink that straight up tastes like melted licorice

@MJMelanc @rubysapphrald The real shit used to have wormwood in it

@rubysapphrald Aniseed is what your tasting. You have to remember the absinth of today is modern & mostly diluted for easier consumption. The real shit would knock us all on our asses

@JalopyJoh @myosotiskills @MYTHOTROPOS Mad at the author for his perceived and actual person failings and, to be fair to the critique of the work, tonal shift in the third act of the second book that feels out of place

This was the old /lit/ chart I used to get into fantasy when I was a teenager and while it was the only fantasy list I had ever seen that had actual literature on it I feel like an updated version must be made. Seeing John Crowley in the same tier as Harry Potter hurts my soul
