wacky1980

i'ma try to bring this back to a discussion on the statement itself, rather than the several pages of "you NO YOU" that's been going on. "good" is indeed subjective. so is the strength of one's palate. you and nab apparently hate ipa's, and that's fine, but they're one of the biggest styles out there, and are primarily responsible for the surge in domestic craft popularity over the last 30+ years. a person enjoying ipa's (such as myself) does not equate to that person having a rekt palate. i really don't see how the assumption can be made that people's taste in beer has been ruined by a thing that happened over 80 years ago, and has since then, driven the industry into its most successful and robust state in history?

i call bullshit. there were far more breweries in the latter half of the 1800's than there were at the onset of prohibition. if anything ruined the palate of the american beer drinker, it was not prohibition, but rather consolidation, because that was the reason for a majority of the small breweries being shut down. then there's the whole fact that there are more breweries now than there have ever been in the usa (not just pre-prohibition, but pre-1870's). we're exporting more good beer now than we ever have as a country. and the laws are far friendlier toward breweries now than they were pre-prohibition. not that any of that makes a difference, because the overall strength of the industry is not where your claim rests. the statement was that the palate was ruined by prohibition, of which no support has been provided. what i want to know is, how did prohibition ruin the palate? and if it can be argued that this did indeed occur, how is it that this is still reflected today, in a time when there's a greater selection and variety of quality beer than at any other time in history?

too fucking late. my feed is full of this shit today.

i'd also like to point out that prohibition ruined neither.

nothing. there's literally nothing wrong with brandy. and anyone is welcome to drink it. the problem is getting wasted on it.

so you're arguing over semantics rather than content. whatever then, carry on.

if this doesn't scream cat rapist, i don't know what does. srs tho, get wasted on brandy? why do you hate yourself so hard?

no, i think he got it. i'd like to understand how prohibition ruined americans' taste in beer as well. esp considering our piss water is of higher quality than several other countries' piss water. ever had snow? makes budweiser look like hofbrau.

nah, i looked it up. 2.5%. i see you edited post. anyways, weaker than your mama's keystone light.

radler may as well be considered near-beer. what is that shit, like 2.3%?

maybe you need to move towards ciders.

oddly enough, beer to me is exactly like dick to you. i'll take one in the can any day. i didn't think that one through very well.

i've only just spent about two minutes looking at the ipb or ips, whatev, site. i feel like it might possibly, maybe, with a heaping helping of customization, feel nicer than the theme on nodebb (which i actually grew to appreciate over time). as long as it functions on this side of the insanity line in comparison to nodebb and ue, i'm down.

a lot of this, please. it seems like it only takes a small burst of page requests (<20) to lag the shit out of the db. is kn running this on a home pc?

isn't this how tenacious d was formed?

make lists try to count

...not 100% here, correct me if i'm wrong. but i think that was at least part of the joke.

i'm not leaving. shit, i've been around since '03. there's just not a lot to keep coming back to these days, and when someone marches off with half the tribe, that only makes both groups smaller and harder to enjoy. idgaf if someone wants to try and do it better, that's up to them and to you to take a swing at it. but i really don't see it being a good thing for either place, esp with all the cattiness going on before it even launches. i propped up a forum because nodebb was doomed from the start, and i thought it might be nice to have a backup in the event that place went down for good too. but i don't want to compete, and i don't want to spend my spare time catering to every whim of a bunch of random fucks on a random message board. hey, that's just me. if that's your thing, by all means.

so a locked thread gets an insta-sink?

yeah, whatever. this thread is devolving into another steaming pile (just like every thread that discusses this little breakup...i see a trend here) so i guess i'll put here what i was gonna put there. /* a few things... stop tickling the rim and shove it in already! this is the biggest hype train i've seen for such an obscure, tiny, break-away backup group of people. this isn't like launching healthcare.gov or anything. if you're tweaking layout and themes and adding plugins, that's great, but that shit needs to either be done before you tout the new product's awesomeness, or after it's live and you get to test things in the wild. flip the goddamn switch. i don't like the theme from your example link. i get it, opinions and assholes, etc etc. but it feels like a stargate fan forum from 2003. the standard theme here is decent enough. strip out all the unnecessary bullshit and make it fast and light. again, that's just me. i'm not ok with my user data being migrated. peer eee uhd. i know i don't really have a say in that, but don't be that guy. i just ate a whole sleeve of ritz crackers while reading this [that] thread. so i've now dedicated that much to you and your project. don't disappoint. */ i'd like to add now, after seeing the fit thrown here, that i'm not terribly interested in staying on this forum, nor am i terribly interested in moving to the new one. anyways, there you go.

well then there we go. let's see if my clipboard is still hanging onto it...

we're not handling the shirts this year. signing on a vendor to make them on the spot. if we end up with some extras, i'll letcha know.

yes, those men all have / had dicks. you win the thread, sir.

i did. but the context is gone now, so it's not worth it.

you're a dick. i had a nice long thought piece ready to post, and YOU RUINED IT! god damn you, making me waste my time like that. you shitbird.
