The beer was Leffe Ritual 9, from Belgium. I've spoken to some of my co-workers, and one told me that he had to get used to the taste as well when he first tried beer, while another said that it's simply the flavour of this particular beer. I'm not really planning on exploring the world of beers much further.

I've never acquired a taste for Belgian beers. Not sure why.

Speaking of beers, this is one I would recommend that doesn't actually taste like beer! I liked this stuff so much in Bruges that I bought this very glass.

Sour cherry? I love me some sours. Summertime especially.

I'm currently undertaking a Jonathan Hickman Marvel binge. I started Fantastic Four just before his run began. I'm going to continue it through FF, Avengers, New Avengers and Secret Wars. I'm in for a ride

If you can figure out what the heck happened after Secret Wars, you're better than I am. It's got me confuzzled.

Ooo...

Now you've got me all curious.

Well, let me just say that one of those guys I know from YouTube since before all this "SJW Marvel" stuff started and he was always nice to me. Even when we had disagreements, it was civil.

Having said that, a lot of what represents "Comicsgate" is pretty disingenuous. A lot of what they are complaining about ( changing icon heroes, minority legacy heroes, politics, etc) has been going on at the Big 2 for literally decades. And for some strange reason they only care about it happening at Marvel ( although that might be changing since Bendis is moving to DC). There's this not smart belief that comics aimed at women or kids is an example of extremist politics. Some of these guys are really just trying to get clicks. Part of "making comics great" is trolling comics pros. And god forbid they stop reading Marvel and check out comics they might actually like instead of continuing to read comics they have already trashed ( but that goes to back getting clicks).

Hmmm.. guys and to the mods, is it ok to ask financial help on this site?

Probably not? You might want to perhaps start a Go Fund me page.

but there isn't one here.

I guess that would depend on the scale of advice that you're looking for. Unless there's a member on here that's actually qualified as a Financial Advisor you might want to seek help elsewhere to be honest.

You could end up inadvertently getting advice that would hurt you in the long run, from people with the best intentions. Unless it's whether or not you should lend a friend some easily affordable amount of money, or something trivial like that, I'd take your query to somewhere more relevant.

Good luck!

Wow, I gotta applaud that Quick, Draw! Google game for being able to recognize my horrible drawing of the Eiffel Tower.

It's a fun game to kill some time.

Deleted post - I've suddenly lost my appetite.

I'm addicted to the hard stuff. I can't deny it any longer.



Nesquik Strawberry Milkshake. God, it's so good.

I never tried that, but I have lots of childhood memories of drinking Nesquik chocolate milk.

I even used to own a comic book that featured funny one-page strips starring Quicky (the Nesquik mascot bunny), which was pretty entertaining.

I grew up on the stuff! Not had it for years though. I might have to get some next time I go shopping.

[Elmo]

okay so uh long story short I had to break up with this girl back in like november or december because I have like delusions of reality and false memories and suicidal ideations and I also had feelings for this other girl

so yeah I broke up with her and I started seeing the other girl but that other girl basically used me and hurt me really bad

so i spent a little while feeling really sad but then I texted that girl i was dating before to see if she'd wanna hang and catch up and she did! and we hung out and it was really nice ... she said she wants to take it slow because friendships mean a lot to her but also she wants me to feel comfortable being open with her because transparency is important

i'm just scared because how can I admit to a partner that i wanna kill myself every day and that I am so lonely all the time and am constantly seeking validation and approval from people

it's hard but i really like her and i admire her so much ugh

Nestlé is a really evil company, though.

Really? Now I'm intrigued. Do elaborate on that please.

they are literally one of the main reasons poor people in Africa can't get clean water

people in Africa can't even drink rain water because of nestle

Yeah, after asking the question I went off and did a little research of my own as I was curious. Eye opening stuff, right across the board. Not just about drinking water but baby formula complications and dangerous and manipulative advertising, child labour, deals with Mugabe and demanding millions in debt from Ethiopia during a famine. That was sobering stuff that's surprisingly received little media attention in my country. That I'm aware of anyway.

Any future light-hearted, product placement posts will either be better researched or not appear at all.
