I always find the discourse surrounding IPA to be both interesting and kind of amusing. Literally nobody cares if you don't like IPA. LITERALLY NOBODY. It's quite hop forward, usually a higher abv, and many just don't find bitterness refreshing. That's all perfectly understandable. But some of these people feel like they're being persecuted for not liking it (again, they're not), so they construct these grand narratives and conspiracy theories explaining how everyone else is just pretending to like it, which is exactly how picky eaters talk (which they aren't...necessarily).

I've worked in a few places with rotating taps, and do you know how they decide if they're going to reorder the same keg or not? By popularity, i.e., demand, just like in everything else. If a keg goes fast you typically buy it again because turnover=money, while a keg that sits for a month is taking up precious real estate which means losing money. Do you want to guess what consistently sold the fastest? IPAs, both classic West Coast and non-flavored hazies when those started to become ubiquitous, followed by brown and blonde ales, followed by a basic 5.2% ale or lager (but you only need one of those because there's really not much nuance to the style). That's it. People actually do like particular styles, but there's lots of other styles if you don't like the most popular one, so you just sound retarded when you get mad you're not included or whatever. Just say it's not your thing and people will just say, "okay, that's cool" - which is the literal point of that comic that always gets posted: if you don't like it, don't drink it. There's no big conspiracy or psyop.

Genuinely sad to hear this. Seems like a kindly old man making stoner-chow and living humbly. Prayers for him and his family.

>step daughter

ooof. That's somehow more grim than being homeless and stealing chicken from a picnic. But that with that said, what's it like having kids? I'm 32 and my gf wants kids and honestly it sounds like more trouble than it's worth these days.

I miss the crab stewing guy

I know what OG is and it still took me a full minute to figure out what in the actual fuck you were trying to write. My thoughts are that you need a more immediate fix to get rid of those shaky hands.

>he's not exactly a party animal, nor would I say he's overly depressed
That's the case with most alcoholics. People assume they're always partying and doing shots and causing drama, or alternatively laying in a gutter somewhere like a junky. In reality most people don't even know when someone in their life is continually intoxicated unless they actually start counting the bottles.

>beer just hasn't been the same these last thousand years

>water and ice are both free and taste good
>adderall costs about as much as a gumball
Yeah, I'm thinking energy drinks were solved decades ago.

I feel you man. I am trying to cut down/stop. In a way, not drinking is the easy oart. I've not gotten shakes or anything, it's more dealing with the boredom. I used to live in Wisconsin and I don't envy you there, the drinking culture there is insane. Im actually visiting home next week and it going to be really hard not to drink or eat like shit.

Godspeed, buddy.

You should probably try some meth, anon. Based on your location it shouldn't be too difficult to find. I'm not sure that's what makes gas station employees so much better at cooking hot dogs than you, but I swear sometimes they leave them on the rollers for days at a time and I've never seen one explode, so they must be doing something right.

I typically just buy the chargers. Even if you have to go to a porn shop they're still a better deal than the canisters.

>be an actor in one of the best and most acclaimed TV shows of all time
>live like an animal and drink and eat what you want
>die of a heart attack right before the world went to shit.

What a chad. If I had to trade lives with someone, it would be him or Bourdain

Did you seriously include a link to the Wikipedia entry for "pickling"?

Well I do walk a lot (live in San Fran) so I have pretty good leg strength, but I'm only 5'5" and have been on HRT for nearly 3 years and am down to 90 pounds and... Oh wait, that's just your fucking delusional head cannon for literally anyone who disagrees with you and not related to anything that exists in reality.

A chicken sandwich is a thing (actually a number of different things), while a chicken burger is not a thing.
