@sabbatical My mom grew up as a teetotaler so that would explain my lack of knowledge on the subject

I get the sterotype of nerds wearing glasses is somewhat essential to a visual representation, but some of the other design choices done by the different emoji "typefaces" seem like they intend to promote negative stereotypes. Childish faces, funny teeth, etc.

@sabbatical I've never thought of the taste like that of spiciness but that seems to be a great comparison!

@freeschool since posting that I've ended up on the original proposal for the "nerd" emoji and I'll have to revise my original comments

@ZachWeinersmith As a practicing member of the Christian faith, I agree with you. If basic Christian doctrine is anti-semetic, then that's a terrifying standard (and maybe waters down how bad actual anti-semites have been)

Planed obselecense is a thing, sure, but my daily driver keyboard is 20 years old and, aside from missing two function keys, is working just fine

@LouisIngenthron hmm, I definintely say thresh-old now that I think about it

@sabbatical To be fair, I have not done many double-blind drink comparisons to see if I preferred the alcoholic version

@sabbatical I… just learned fruit cakes traditionally have rum in them!

I don’t get the point of mixed alcoholic drinks that are tasty without the addition of alcohol

@sabbatical hahaha AHN RUTE

Considering "up" means nothing in space, you'd think NASA's logo would be less ambiguiously orentied—or should I say VSVN's logo?

@sabbatical Oh, I don't judge people (or at least I try not to) for using it… it was just an observation haha

@Meachamus_Prime You make a very good point. Needed some paper to start a fire anyway 😆

@sabbatical that's a perfect name!

My "technology" abilities seem to have always "wowed" my parents but the current thing that seems to impress them the most is my use of Shortcuts on iOS.

Recent example: I have one that checks the weather at noon and tells me if conditions are favourable for a little lunch-hour bike ride.
