Me personally, I had a pumpkin beer. I don't get the hate for pumpkin beer or coffee, it's a good seasonal flavor.

    Women like it. Feminine = bad.

    It literally does not go deeper than this

      I will give two additional reasons:

      1. I can't drink 15 of them
      2. It's mashed in your face nonstop for months

      I blame both on capitalism.

        The average chud’s dislike of starbucks (and its customer base) is at least 80% due to distaste for femininity. The other 20% is because they don’t explicitly say “merry Christmas” on all their stuff during the holidays

          I'm sure that's a big part of it. I've just always associated it with narcissistic yuppies that don't think twice about paying $6 for bean water, also that they would have separate locations almost right on top of each other.

    Haven't had a pumpkin beer in a while, but i made plans to listen to a Call of Cthulhu reading on vinyl that I picked up on tour with a comrade, and carve pumpkins during + roast the seeds.

    I will eat homemade roasted pumpkin seeds until my jaws are sore and my guts are torn up from shells, goddamn do I love pumpkin seats.

    I did some stargazing last night with my small reflector telescope. This year has been the first year I've really gotten into stargazing in general, and it's made me hyper-aware of things like seasonal changes and the phases of the moon.

    It's been really cool actually noticing the nights getting longer on a day by day basis and the visible constellations changing in tune. The Pleiades cluster is starting to rise at a reasonable time now. It's so beautiful and obvious to just the unaided eye that I'm really shocked I had never noticed it before actively seeking it out.

      Nice! That's really cool. In my line of work I am also rather aware of the changing of the sunset/sunrise as the year shifts. This time of year has gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, too.

    But today I was knee deep in a river. Glad I went for a degree that give me an excuse to go outdoors

    Went to a baseball game, had a couple of beers in the autumn chill and enjoyed the fact that the team I root for finally got rid of their shitty, racist name and logo.

    Been experimenting with pumpkin spice in Chai. I guess that counts?

    Can't drink beer, even if that sounds good. Beer + stress = no good times for Crohnies :kitsuragi-depress:

        Yeah, it was. I've been trying to get down milk tea by mixing spices as of late. Weirdly, pumpkin spice goes well with cardamom, turmeric, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon.
