…nah man, i’m here for casual conversation; nothing at all shameful about honest ignorance, only willful ignorance…

…because it’s a plainly ignorant statement akin to “i don’t like french music”: do you just dislike music malt whisky?..that’s a fair statement, but one which would apply to all malt whiskies regardless of nation of origin, as there’s no unifying style distinguishing scotch in particular…

…conversely, if you don’t mind other malt whiskies but dislike something specific about scotch, that’s indicative of narrow experience coloring your expectation of a vast ecology of styles and expressions which have little in common other than being based on barley, water, distillation, and age…

…“i don’t like scotch” is a common statement from folks who’ve only sampled peated malts; your listerine comment sounds like medicinal peat notes, which are a divisive style…

…i generally prefer windows open to the world but i’ll concede that it’s niiiiice, though: i never sleep better than nestled underneath a blasting window-box on a hot summer night…

…‘scotch’ encompasses such a vast diversity of spirits that i presume anyone who blanket-dislikes it either 1) doesn’t like malt whisky in general, fair enough, or 2) mis-apprehends a specific style as endemic to scotch whisky as a whole…

…microsoft applications have an annoying habit of auto-replacing my dashes with emdashes; i don’t even know how to type an emdash…

…you know, now that i’m really thinking about it, there may be a token 12"x18" privacy screen set on the table between displays, but it doesn’t impede adjacent displays from your field of view at all: it’s more about the suggestion of privacy than actual functionality…

…there are sugar babies, sugar mamas, and sugar daddies…

…here we just have touchscreen kiosks set side-by-side along open tables, no privacy other than the LCD field-of-view…

…you ever take it off any sweet jumps?..

…large-language models do not comport with lossless data reconstruction in my experience; quite the opposite…

…keep right except to pass and most of your concerns will melt away; that’s how i drive rented trucks with speed limiters, slowest vehicle on the road with no worries…
