  • Why would we assume that you have to be 21 years old or the equivalent to drink alcohol in a medieval fantasy world?

    There are still many parts of the modern world that allow 16 year olds to drink.

    And even in the medieval time period of Europe, pretty much everyone would drink alcohol because it was cleaner than water, although younger people would tend to drink “small beers” that had very light alcohol.

    My assumption would be that in this time frame, if the bartender judged you competent and capable of drinking, they would sell you alcohol.

    If they didn’t, they wouldn’t, and the only consequence would be that you’re on your own in dealing with the effects of alcohol on you.








  • I mean, foster the people.

    I’m hoping that’s the obvious one for everybody.

    But also for me, Jamiroquai. Dropping some line about how it’s not nature’s way for a mother to be able to choose the color of her child randomly in the middle of a song about how the world is changing so quick, and nobody can keep up with it.

    At the same time, though, I’m nitpicking. It’s just that one line in otherwise a cool song.

    Flipside, I do not enjoy ICP, but my friends started playing the Shangri-La album, and I didn’t know it was ICP, and I was like, man, this is actually pretty good, and then they were like, yeah, it’s ICP, don’t you like it? And I was like, well shit, they got like, one kind of decent album, fuck.

    Yeah, it’s definitely all ten, although I can see how I would regret that choice from time to time.

    Fortunately, robot hands are pretty cool, and I’m sure that if the world were prosperous and they saw somebody with no fingers, they would all chip in to help back out. So it wouldn’t be like terrible forever, but it would definitely have its moments where it sucks.
