Yeah, my tea has water-cooling

  1. Use a metal straw to improve heat conduction.
  2. Increase the surface area and time for heat extraction to occur with extra loops in the water part (do they make metal silly straws?)
  3. Get really fancy and use a counterflow chiller: create a two layer straw, where tea goes through one layer while cold water goes through the other layer in the opposite direction (obviously with an outlet somewhere besides your teacup)

Newspeak is intended to make more complex thoughts impossible. This isn't newspeak; they're still talking about the topics, they're just using dumb filter workarounds.

Though I do feel it'd be obnoxious to actually talk like this when not needed

Reddit / lemmy vs Old internet forums

Personal example: I once asked on the linguistics subreddit why desceiptivist linguistics were preferred to prescriptivist and was downvoted to hell and back. The only replies were to call me a racist. I never got an answer, and I still don’t know. So voting is not the end-all be-all of forum mechanics.

I'mma have to call bullshit here, unless there just so happened to be a different person using the name quindraco on Reddit who asked this very question.

  • Your question was answered.
  • You may have gotten downvotes, but it was certainly not "to hell and back" -- your post is currently sitting at +18.
  • Not a single person called you racist, even after you compared descriptivism to literal genocide.

I hate Majora’s Mask!

I did not do any of the side quests as having to redo a bunch of stuff sounds terrible.

This is a game that's really about the sidequests. They're so important that there's a mandatory (iirc) part to get a notebook to help you track them.
