Fuck those ruby-throated hummingbirds. Birds shouldn't need chainsaws for mouths.

I had to go through the five stages of grief to fully process your explanation. Thanks for explaining.

Wtf is this

Quick grain of salt: when I say combat in GURPS goes faster than other systems, I'm only comparing it to other games that focus on tactical combat. The fastest combat I've seen was in Trail of Cthulhu, which paid so little attention to combat rules that your combat turn can be summarized as "roll 1d6 and pray"

I feel so targeted

I've played a lot of different rpgs, and I've noticed that combat drags the most in games that care the most about tactical combat. Interestingly, the game I've played that dragged the least in combat was GURPS, despite each round lasting for 1 second of game time. I think this is because the tight time window on your turn means you get to do exactly one thing on your turn, and if you are doing something intensive like casting a spell you might be spending several turns doing nothing but the occasional step or defense roll. Contrastingly, Shadowrun 5e had a 2 second turn, and combat slowed to a fucking crawl whenever someone wanted to do something more complex than moving and hitting due to the amount of dice being rolled and decision fatigue; we even banned grenades at one point because the chunky salsa technique was just too tempting to exploit.

Very relatable

Technically my problem isn't that I can't smell at all, it's that I have pretty much every seasonal allergy so when I was growing up I never had the opportunity to learn how to use my nose. As a kid my parents tried to address this with decongestant, but I think I built up a tolerance because they stopped working for me. Every once in a blue moon, there will be two weeks where I can actually smell things, but I will consistently misidentify what I am smelling since I never learned how to smell. This leads to me embarrassing myself by saying demented things like claiming flowers smell like burnt popcorn or that my fiancée's cooking smells like burnt plastic. I suspect that not being exposed to smells at a formative age caused my brain to just not bother with the nose-interperetation part of the brain. Maybe when I die they could dissect my brain and figure that out.

I've thought about getting back on the decongestants again, but I don't want to overdo it and damage my liver. I like my liver. I want to treat it well. My fiancée's dad also told me about some shots he got to get rid of his grass allergy, so I might look into that

No this was a brand-new sealed container of lactose-free 2% milk

That actually sets my mind very much at ease. I was so worried about getting sick from it.

I think I need to modify the title to "How to detect spoiled milk if you cant smell and your sense of taste is only technically there"
