I'm actually a "have coffee and sugar and milk but no water, and spend a really long time having to mix it as a result" kinda person. But I also see the appeal in dumping it with milk and whipped cream.

Ah, I see.

Well, I've clearly pictured the wrong thing then. :lol:

But also how do you make coffee... without water

EDIT: Okay I see it the milk is the thing one mixes the coffee in, huh....





Well my laptop just shut off by itself instead of going into sleep. One of those times.

Yep. It's a pain to stir, but it's nice and milky and cold once it's done.

Machines are great. Part of me still suspects that all this stuff about electricity and internal circuits are elaborate excuses and that the people selling this stuff are wizards.

There are midgets inside the machine, trapped in the horrible thing till they get switched out when the machine gets "resupplied".

And if you look at it from the left, you can see why they say the same about the right. Both sides ignoring the similar viewpoint and rationale of the other side. Which brings out a simple beautiful truth about humanity, we suck.

I mean, I have that set as such; it didn't go "ok shutting down now", it went "bleh" and the screen shut off automatically, along with everything else.

It happens sometimes, it's fine; this time, thankfully, I don't have any unsaved notepad files that might've been lost.

Well I guess I understand it now?

I'm not going to say what my position on the topic itself is, but you may have made a faux pas from going into a discussion thread on abortion and expecting the atmosphere to be a relaxed sharing of feelings.

That's what TET is for. And shitposting.

True but when I say "Yes your are right now respect my opinion (I am not trying to force it on you)" I expect the other side to acknowledge my saying their right and not force their opinion on me.

We are discussing each others opinion not deciding policy for fucks sake.

Should I consider that a nightmare or no?
