Bitter foods are an acquired taste. Sweet foods are not. I remember reading somewhere that sweet foods become less attractive once you've grown up, but nothing about bitter foods becoming more attractive.

I always thought that people acquire a taste for coffee for the same reason they acquire a taste for beer: repeated exposure. Coffee is the cheapest caffeinated drink (at least in the US), and beer is the cheapest alcoholic drink. Both taste like ass the first time you drink them, but you put up with the taste because you want to get wired or drunk. After repeated exposure, some people grow to like the taste.

Because black coffee tastes even worse than Monster does. (And has a lot less caffeine.)

It's a website where you can buy music. I prefer having music in OGG or Opus format, and most of the time you can only get MP3. Bandcamp gives you the option to download your music in several formats, and one of them is OGG.

That's starting to change, because I can find more file-sharers who are using FLAC as storage becomes cheaper. Then I can convert FLAC to Opus. However, Bandcamp also gives you the option to stream music from their app, and it's nice to have access to so much music on my phone.

You can't be both the underdog and the king at the same time

So, you hate the New Testament, too?

"Hiccough" is a good one. I always hated that spelling and prefer "hiccup" for that reason.

TIL those are both pronounced the same way. (Gaol/jail is worse, though.)

Yes, English is weird, but this word still breaks rules. "Gh" (pronounced "f") is never at the beginning of a word, and "ti" (pronounced "sh") is never at the end.

"apart"

Yes. I find them on Bandcamp.

Why. Won’t. They. Fight. Back. Against. The. Republicans.

Because. They're. On. The. Same. Side.
