All the 'beer people' I've ever spoken to seem to regard IPAs as a meme beer that people drink when they think they know about beer but actually they don't. I wouldn't know myself. I can't really drink any beer unless it's got some kind of apple or orange, etc in it. Beer is gross and I'll always skip over it in favor of pretty much anything else.
i've never understood being like "i just listen to what sounds good to me and i know what i like" about anything, especially not music or food
i've always felt that if i couldn't understand why i liked something it was time to reevaluate what it means to me, which is part of why i quit league of legends and started playing dota, and i've always felt that having an analytical knowledge and classification base for things only helps to know what stuff you're probably going to like and probably not going to like based on existing trends
I do it in order to keep certain parts of my personality in check. I find it way too easy to poke holes in things and cause myself to hate things I previously enjoyed, so I make a conscious effort to not overthink the things I like.
All the beer people I've talked to are really into IPAs. They think lagers are for bros
there's a specific effect about that regarding music in languages you don't know, primarily [i]because[/i] you can't understand the lyrics-- don't remember the exact name and intricacies, but I know it works with other-language music in general, like German and Spanish
iirc it allows you to focus primarily on the music itself and the sound of the lyrics, instead of having your brain parsing the lyrics as well, since you can't actually understand them even if you do perfectly and clearly hear every syllable
it also conveniently hides fuck-ups, dumb lyricism, pronunciation mistakes/oddities, and other such things from your perception
I always get annoyed when people say all beer is gross or tastes like piss or whatever. It's the same thing when people generalize a genre like saying all hip hop is crap or something stupid like that. There are so many different kinds of beer it's a ridiculous statement to make.
That's not to say you need to like it, I'm not a huge beer person myself, there's only a few kinds I really like. But dismissing the whole world of beer seems silly.
Also from a more subjective standpoint, I prefer ciders to any beer I've had.
I appreciated CoD WWII's Multiplayer just being a lightly WWII themed shooter-playground where you could customize your player as much as you'd like. I hope Battlefield V does something along those lines of player customization.
I'm probably gonna offend a fair amount of people by saying this, but Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition > NieR Automata
Yes, NieR Automata is the best story of 2017, though considering PlatinumGames' background, the gameplay kinda feels kind of... It's still pretty good good, but not exactly "Metal Gear Rising" good.
I don't think that's super unpopular. Automata's gameplay is serviceable and pretty satisfying but it's too easy, too shallow, and too easily cheeseable to really stand on its own. Good thing it doesn't have to because everything else about the game is incredible.
Don't' try any European beer, 90% of bottled British beer is fucking shit.
I mean, Baltika is technically a European beer, but I'd hardly recommend it.
I find hard to side with the Avengers when Thanos has a good point.
Considering that you know... condoms exists, overpopulation is not a universal problem.
If his point is that resources are limited and thus population needs to be curbed, then why doesn't he use the omnipotence granted to him by the stones to just... Increase the amount of resources?
His plan is inherently flawed, though. Even when executed perfectly it's not gonna have an effect.
You can punch holes in his plan with basic elementary school mathematics. Yeah, you've killed half of the universe's population, good job. In a couple of generations, they've reproduced and replaced everyone you've killed, and the only thing that has changed is that absolutely everyone is fucking pissed at you killing half of their population a while back. If your population doubles every day and you remove half of them, it'll only take a day to come back to the starting value and all that. And on the cosmic scale, what's a generation or two of (human) life? Absolutely nothing.
It goes like this:
Intro level: Only mass market beers (like Bud, Miller, etc.) -> Mid level: IPAS ARE THE BEST -> Beer connoisseur: Good beers exist in just about any given style.
Don't these seem a little contradictory though
Beating people up for really minor things is fine and encouraged, but the police need to restrict how much they beat people up?
I haven't seen Infinity War yet so I don't know how much power the stones actually give, but I'd assume that increasing the amount of resources wouldn't make people any more considerate about using them - quite the contrary, people would be more and more willing to waste resources because daddy Thanos can just create more
But killing half of them doesn't encourage them to be more efficient either? Besides, enacting the biggest genocide of history just because you can't be arsed to snap your fingers every once in a while is basically just as dumb.
There should be an alcohol license to avoid violent assholes from causing more harm to themselves and their families.
We should adopt the law from the japanese to start taxing overweight and obese people to motivate them to lose weight. Training and being active is important as heck and people need to realize it.
Why? the state is responsible for stopping people from harming each other, not themselves.
I have no love for the obesity epidemic but this is just draconian and evil. You realize that many people are overweight because they're poor and stressed, right? And your solution is to make them even poorer?
Your tax has nothing to do with training and being active? Mathematically those things don't do much for weight, diet mostly does. Waist measurements won't show health if you're measuring a twig facepuncher who sits inside all day.
Also the Japanese tax you're citing doesn't even tax people directly. It taxes local governments and firms for not encouraging healthy practices in their relevant domains, which I don't actually think is a horrible idea (a lot of the "obesity epidemic" stems from societal practices trending people towards certain habits.)
AFAIK he also has a crush on Death itself, and thinks that killing 50% of the life in the universe is a good way to catch her attention. So really, Thanos is just a lovesick doofus.
he has a reality altering god glove, culling half the universe is like, stupid as fuck when you could do something like... Make the universe infinite or something.
Overpopulation is a meme, the numbers he says are arbitary bullshit.
my background is beautiful
Yawn! Normie opinions, what a let down
kind of a weird comparison, automata is an RPG first and foremost and has completely different goals than a DMC game does
that said, DMC3 > DMC4
it's really less than a meme, it's just pure bullshite. sure we have some countries poorly handling the matter of overpopulation but generally we've adapted to increasing numbers in the past.
