Everything about this is fucking amazing.

  1. The fact that this guy's name is technically Dick Tack
  2. The fact that he describes himself as a Polymath and Anti-Communist
  3. That he has 21.8 THOUSAND posts on Quora
  4. The fact that he does not answer the asked question at all, but that he instead launches into an insane Boomer rant about how he and his friends would be judgemental against anybody who orders an alcoholic drink with milk in it because it is "girly"
  5. That, despite referring to himself as a "Polymath", he supposedly had to Google what "liquor" meant

And of course he's British, only an Anglo could act like this and think it makes him look cool.

        Yeah but most of the anticommunist monarchists are old veterans who walk around in their old uniform all day and play field games with their old teacher friend who’s a union man but not ideologically dedicated because he’s the only one who will keep them company now that their wife has passed and the small bits of time they aren’t talking to that friend (who their wife was also in love with on and off throughout her life, by the way) they go sit up in the booth overlooking the town and play guard for the union even though no one can get over that wall anyway, at least not without roundhouse kicking a racial supremacist, becoming a racial supremacist, or getting Cuno’s permission to use his shortcut onto the roof and succeeding an athletics check to grab a cloak

          I have the self harming habit of hearing them out to hate them better. I genuinely think that any alliance between the two would immediately turn to civil war if they won. I’ve even convinced one that “yeah sure, have an elected monarch so long as they are building socialism with the intent to build communism.

          That last guy, his hard limit is being catholic. Like if I can undermine his faith enough it’s just time and effort to get a proper socialist out of him. The Vatican is literally the only thing between him and being a Lenin Stan

                I truly believe most haven’t internalized the hate. Yes, they express hate. That is intolerable. It’s the incorporation of the hate into the self, rather than it being a side effect from their conflicting ideological mal-prescriptions that makes them something to be removed. Their hate goes away if you slowly deprogram them (goes away fast in A gulag, but those aren’t here yet).

                The absolute nonhuman scum who relish in the hate need to be redacted as cruelly as possible without sacrificing efficiency. I’m yet to meet one irl. Posters on nazi boards, people with an iron cross tattoo, people who casually drop “gas the slur”. Ropes are reusable and eco friendly.

                A disaffected meme lord trad catholic who just wants a society where people aren’t allowed to vote against basic charity doesn’t need a rope. They need an education.

    Quora has tons of Nazi powerusers. I've seen some crazy stuff like straight up holocaust denial and blood libel. The moderation is essentially non-existent so they congregate there.

    in my local pub with the manly gents, masculine lads, and heterosexually tumescent chums, we use the term "spirits" because we believe, as loyal subjects of royal academy of aristocratic science, ghosts are in the drink and it is these ghosts are responsible for all the ballywho, williwaw, and even foofaraw our social club engages in.

    Quora is full of massive brainworms. They definitely seem to conflate large word counts and harshness with intelligence

    I remember seeing a question about what would happen if you tried to approach the white house, and the answer was basically that you would be dead instantly by dozens of snipers (even though I've seen people get pretty close on the news every few months or so)

        Bailey's got me through Final Fantasy XIII. Since the first 20 hours of the game are like a "narrow hallway simulator," and the combat is basically pressing two buttons every now and then, it worked out pretty well. It also helped keep me from remembering the specifics of that shitty combat system, and I am a better person for it. Thank you, Bailey's!

      Closed palettes tend to reflect closed minds. Imagine being all like “ewww no I don’t eat Korean food” or “what the fuck is this savory shit, real Americans only eat corn with sugar”. Dietary restrictions aside, of course.

          Oh, I’m sorry. I should have been more thoughtful regarding the reasons people avoid foods. I truly did not intend to take a shot at ND comrades. I was trying to line up a shot against the type of whitey who refuses to try “ethnic food”

            Nah I gotcha. I guess you could count my food aversions as a dietery restriction, but they’re not really consistent. I think “ Closed palettes tend to reflect closed minds” was just too broad of a generalization. But I more or less knew what you meant, so no worries

          I’m simply ignorant here ~~ How are those exclusive? Like if somebody simply can’t stomach something regardless of the reason wouldn’t that fall under a restriction being imposed on them? I’m trying here~~ But more importantly I failed. I truly am sorry.

          Edit: struck through the bullshit the excuses. The apology is truly the part that want to come across. I was wrong to use the phrasing I did.

        It's great cause on the one hand, no weirdness over fruity drinks, and on the other, some specific HRT meds fuck with your tolerance so you dont have to drink as much to drink to get a buzz going, saving money.

        Though tbf that might be a concern over getting too drunk, if only I ever visited bars so that would be a real danger.

      I don't really like baileys, it's too sweet and it doesn't taste like real alcohol.

      I probably am biased against it because the first time I had it I'd already been drinking for a while and had had two shots of 60% gin neat and two shots of 40% vodka in the minute before I had it and then I continued to drink for a while after. My vomit tasted of bailey's and it was very unappetising.

    You forgot that he also thinks any drink with dairy in it is Bailey's. There's literally hundreds of cocktails that call for dairy of some kind, and white Russians specifically require special care to not curdle it. Fuck this is good

      white Russians specifically require special care to not curdle it

      Really? Back when me and my friends had our white russian phase, we always just stirred vodka, milk and kaluah and never had any issues with curdling. is this less of a problem with low-fat, homogenized milk? because we always used that afair

          I think thats just for aesthetics, the cream lands more softly on top of the drink and slowly mixes down in a nice looking pattern compared to pouring it right in and having it displace the stuff thats already in.

          Theres other "layered" cocktails that do that with different colored liquors for an aesthetic effect and I guess to some extent so it mixes as you drink and it changes flavor throughout.

        I think it's bc normally it calls for cream or half and half. I've definitely curdled the heavy cream by doing it before the vodka (like if you were trying to do standard cocktail ingredients order of cheapest to most expensive)

          Unless you're my grandmothers friends, in which case you chug it like you were a teenager who snuck away from home to go drink in a field. Also, Bailey's was weirdly popular among my class mates when I was like 17-18 and had just started drinking. Might have to do with the lack of nail-polish-remover-taste that most other alcohols have.

        I have food sensitivity and an aversion to most alcohol unless it's sweet - I can tolerate Bailey's but not most other drinks. Not sure why that bothers you but nice to know I'd be made to feel uncomfortable by people for minding my own business.

The dude's post history was a wild ride including COVID denialism, antivax conspiracy shit, Stop the Steal shit, transphobic/racist Michele Obama comments, and general sex pest-ery. It was like TheDonald.lose and Quora got together and gave birth to a boomer Cronenberg monster. A Cronenboomer, if you will.
