In my opinion, it's not that worth it as a beverage; it's best enjoyed in a root beer float. Of course, that makes it even more sugary, but it's at least a pleasurable experience of texture.
I most frequently have A & W; it's pretty rare we get anything else. I don't think I've had a lot of Mug; I've certainly had some before, but it feels like I see more A & W and Barq's around my area. I don't think I've ever actually been to an A & W; all the Las Vegas locations had been closed for years (and still are) back when I lived in Vegas, and there's only 1 in the entirety of the Phoenix area where I current live.
Honestly, for me, root beer is root beer. Also, I rarely drink it as a standalone beverage these days; I mostly just use it in root beer floats. I'd only really choose it if there was no Dr. Pepper around or I was avoiding caffeine.
The root beer thing sounds so surreal to me, but it really shouldn't.
Your body replaces most of its cells over the course of about a decade, give or take a few years (except for brain cells, which admittedly throws a wrench in my point). What’s not to say it didn’t kill the version of you 10 years ago?
Further more, think of yourself from 1 day ago. Can that exact version of yourself still act on the world, or is that version effectively dead as the result of your mind changing over time? That exact version of you isn’t somehow carried on by soul.
In some sense, the very continuity of consciousness could be viewed as a continual process of death of the old self; all the transporter does is create a brief gap in that continuum.
In a nutshell, we’re always dying in some form as a product of the nature of time itself. Why should we get mad at the transporter?
Maybe the soul is how we transcend these deaths; maybe there’s no such thing as a soul.
And like teach the newly unemployed business majors to be actually useful… as construction workers…
Reminds me of this delusion I got the other day:
I love how the other TOTK subplots are environmental crises, and then we just randomly have drug rocks.
If only Apple Music would give Linux users some way to access lossless…
Though honestly, I’m only on Apple Music because my parents pay for it anyway (I’m a college kid), and I’ve already started accumulating a CD/digital audio file collection, which currently covers the first 6 studio albums plus albums 8 and 21 plus 1 B sides compilation, 1 single, half a live album, an album demos compilation, and 1 single.
Although the 256kpbs limitation on the browser isn’t the worst (better than a lot of video streaming services forcing 480p on unapproved devices), it still irks me.
I first heard this in an NPR article talking about how ineffective DARE was.
Don’t forget this monumental achievement in post-modern music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS88-n4Ek0s
