70% is my favorite, but I'll go as high as 85%. You may as well be chewing on coffee beans anywhere past 90

I want to say it depends on who makes it, but to most folks there really isn't a meaningful difference between brands of >90 cacao bricks.

Lots of upsides though: goes great in coffee, has health benefits that aren't immediately undone by sugar content, nobody asks for you to share, etc.

American chocolate is made using the same enzymes within barf that produces it's terrible smell.
I'm not kidding.

edit: remember this whenever you're about to purchase American Hershey chocolate

So, its just an enzyme, its not like youre eating puke. I mean, people all over the world fertilize crops with literal feces but the fact that the nutrients in the shit goes into the crops doesnt mean we're eating shit

Idk if its the american in me, but I get really pissed when people talk shit about our chocolate. and yes before you say anything I have had international chocolate (Scandanavian and Romanian I think) and it is very good too

It's the American in you.
America has imitation cheese which is basically just oil and some other crap. Which is the similar issue with chocolate in America. It's not using any of the REAL stuff that makes REAL chocolate.

Oh boy i’m really starting to feel the grind with uploading more art to the portal. Just now I got done with an art trade and yesterday I made my latest two drawings unlike during 2022 when I had a procrastinating problem. I think this is a big step for me and I thank all of the unfinished sketches I have. Hopefully I could finally do daily art along with making a new animation every once in a while! :)

also I want to introduce you all to gooble. Say hi to gooble

Talking about books in general though, I’ve also just started reading the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. It’s weird as heck and I’m loving it so far.

I've heard that people love Terry's version of death

I think I’ve become someone’s artistic muse and I don’t know how to feel. I got tagged in quite a few art posts and received unexpected fanart of my old logo…? Like he made a whole character from it.

On one hand, I feel like this is the type of thing I would otherwise love to have. I’ve been in Discord communities where the admins were basically worshipped by the regular members, and always felt insignificant in those situations, as if something had to be wrong with me that I didn’t receive that kind of attention. But on the other, I’m slightly uncomfortable, because in all previous online interactions, getting a lot of unexpected fanart and/or general preferential treatment from a guy I haven’t even befriended that deeply has always resulted in finding out he’s into me. I do not want to get into online relationships. Guess that makes this a monkey paw moment.

(This guy’s age also isn’t in his bio here, so I have no frickin’ clue whether that theory would be legal.)

What the hell do I do.
