At its core it usually is, but they often push it outward. My experience with a conservative religion was mostly just self hatred at not being good enough too honestly, but my personality was never much on the conservative axis. Or rather, when I did stuff on that level I never felt good about them.

Not that I'm gonna claim the Bible is consistent, bu5 Ecc 9:5 basically say the dead are aware of nothing. People who believe often argue this one is a metaphor instead of the ones about Eternal punishment.

I grew up JW myself, but they believe dead is dead, and don't believe in eternal torment. They do still believe in heaven and in eternal life, to come at a different time, so it's not like they don't believe the fantasy stuff as well, they just agree with no eternal torment.

That or he lost the finger already and was doing the "cool down the burn in your hot mouth" thing.

I like coffees flavor (not necessarily the bitter part, but it doesn't bother me much). It's not really from repeated exposure: caffeine doesn't quite work right for me, and coffee gives me anxiety and stomach issues, wo I don't drink it often but do like the flavor. Beer is somewhat opposite: I have drank a lot of alcohol(cutting back much more nowadays) but I still find most beer not tasty... though there was this one coffee beer that was really good.

My goto is actually unsweetenee Soju, with lime added. It has a very mild flavor and the lime takes away the alcohol aftertaste.

I used to like sweet stuff but I've always drank green tea unsweetened, and for the most part unless it's honey I don't like sweeteners in tea. Coffee can go both ways, especially for caramel, and hot chocolate is sweet of course, though I haven't had any for at least a year.

Once I gave up soda other things naturally started tasting too sweet for me, and I gave up soda in general 15-20 years ago. I drink it on occasion, but it always leaves a gross sticky syrupy feeling in mouth and throat.

They fully believe Obama took a white man's job, not the other way around. Which shows racism never left, like they like to pretend. It took one out of 43 to get them to rage out.

Personally I've had the same number for years and it's the one I give out, but as an IT professional I definitely know individual experiences vary. The main issue has been the few texting stuff that doesn't support it. Like ubereats, which I guess doesn't matter since I stopped using them a while ago, but there are others.

I read a bunch of webcomics, and I currently read a bunch of manga, mahwa, manhua, web novels, and yes, still some webcomics. I have some favorites, but some aren't that good and are just junk food.

Ctrl Alt Del was never a favorite, nor something I'd check all the time, but every once in a while I'd click through it and read some of it. I probably read it similarly often as Penny Arcade, which didn't really appeal duper heavily to me either.

Sure. DLC is downloadable content, usually named that way to denote it didn't come with the base game. Usually it means released by the original vendor, so anything they released counts as DLC, but in practice people generally split it into paid and free dlc.

Paid DLC are often judged as to whether its worth it, and people do get mad if something should be base game and is only available via pay, even if that's something simple like fast travel or something.

Not really. I've switched from wired to wireless because of the number of headphones I've destroyed getting the cable stuck so bad it yanks my body. My ears never hurt from it; just slightly disoriented and audio only working for one bud/side now. Eventually it was too annoying and I switched to full bluetooth wireless. I won't argue against cables being better for audio, but for me they arent.

Some of those curbs may also be kids, but who can tell.

Ahh, I see, you this seems to be a simple spelling error. The books are going to hurt profits.
