I see you baby...

I jerked my head around and gave the Bear-Man the kind of look I give my old Window Cleaner when he asks to be let out of the basement and back to his family.

I was in the Beer Shop for my Friday beer browse and it was relatively quiet. Well, when I say relatively quiet, I mean it was deserted.

Just me and the big hairy bearded beast they call the Bear-Man.

He had been quiet too, at least till now. As I glared at him, he pulled himself out from behind his counter and did one of his funny little dances which made it look like he was skiing in slow motion whilst squeezing gerbils to death in his meaty fists.

I see you baby...

He repeated, his lips gleaming redly as he leered at me evilly.

Oh god. Please don't sing the rest of it. For the love of all that is holy, please don't finish that line. Don't say that you see me shakin that ass?! I thought desperately.

Shakin that ass...

The Bear-Man sang as if reading my thoughts.

I edged back and adopted the Sailing Monkey pose I had learned from my days at the Shan Temple.

Shakin that ass... Shaking that ass...

The Bear-Man edged toward me, his dancing taking on a menacing turn as if he were wading through waist-high piles of shit songs.

I am NOT shaking my ass.

I said in a no-nonsense tone. It's best to nip this type of thing in the bud and fast or next thing you know someone ends up forked.

And not in a good way.

The Bear-Man straightened up and giggled before his face turned deadly serious.

I was only joking. I am not interested in your ass. I am only interested in Black Ass's.

He grimaced as if he were at the two girls house and they had given him coffee in a cup that didn't look very clean.

I dunno if it's fine to say that?

I said tentatively, ever wary of being hunted down and killed by hordes of angry internet people because I used words to describe colours.

The Bear-Man threw his head back and guffawed.

I was only fucking with ya. I ain't interested in black asses.

He chortled.

I felt a wave of relief wash over me despite my ass being quite a tighty whitey.

The Bear-Man was devilishly close to me now, having crept up unnoticed whilst we spoke. His face turned bleak and cold.

I'm only interested in Black Masses.

An odd silence hung in the air after this statement.

I don't know if that's any better than saying you liked black asses?

I said, stifling the urge to gulp as I noticed he was between me and the door.

Was this it? Was I to be sacrificed to some dark god in the back of his shop? Would there be candles and shit?

I fucking hate candles.

Hahaha!! Not even if it's this?

He stabbed a hand out to the shelf beside me and pulled a black and mean looking can down.

I took it and turned it in my hand.

It's vegan?

I said, making a face as if lifting a cat and accidentally feeling one of its nipples.

It's got two types of coffee in it.

He answered, giving me a knowing nod.

Hmmph, fucking vegans. Alright then, I will give it a whirl.

You took me down a rabbit hole.

My mind ... "What ingredient in beer would not be vegan?"

Google's answer ... almost all beers are vegan, but there are some craft beers that use animal byproducts to clarify the beer. Commercial beers use industrial, vegan ways to do this ...

My Mind ... Not that I care, but how would I know if a beer is vegan.

Googles Answer : Well, I'd recommend you go here. http://www.barnivore.com/

My Mind ... Rabbit hole fully explored ... now, on to shiny thing.

Hmm. I will be looking down there. I wondered too what would make it began but did have a memory from my wine fermenting days if using animal stuffs to clarify it.

Rabbit holes are awesome!

Thought all beer would be vegan anyway. Marketing crap again. If it says vegan on the can it will be a bad experience as it normally is. Have a good one and lets see just how bad.

@meesterboom | Feb. 28, 2020, 11:13 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

I thought it was all vegan too. In a it's hardly comprised of meat kind of way. It does make me suspicious but I will give it the benefit of the doubt!

@teutonium | Feb. 28, 2020, 11:58 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Vegan drinks... do they count eating yeast in beer as vegan or not vegan? And aren't most drinks vegans? I think milk and honey are probably one of the few drinks that aren't really vegan...

@meesterboom | Feb. 29, 2020, midnight | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Yeast must somehow get a pass!! Although it lives but maybe they abide by theit must have eyes rule. Lol!!

@teutonium | Feb. 29, 2020, 12:10 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

The old "it must have eyes rule"... moles normally have skin above their eyes, I wonder if they are considered Vegan...

I do wonder if Vegan alchoolic drinks have a good level of demand, I just can't see people premium to buy Vegan beers instead of normal beers which are pretty much vegan already.

Ah, beer with coffee in it, a real conundrum of a viscous circle. "time to pass out, but too wired to get there". Yikes and yaarg, all in one fell beer swoop. Hope it was as good as your story about it. And I'd LOVE to meet this Bear fellow, as long as I get to stay by the front door of his establishment. I picture a very mondo guy with a lot of chest hair poking out of the top of his shirt that knows even more about the sudsy.
(I'm sure you described him early on, but my memory is certainly not as keen as it thinks it is...)

another token :p ... hahah well, the problem with planet Crypton is that its somewhat of a wet dream for smalltime marketeers who play on the hapless yea ... that certainly gives a lot of bad name, also the big-timers like vitalsky , larrimer, that block.one guy and im well awere of the reputation they scribe to Justin Tron , ... Sun ...
on the other hand : i have no idea who "mister Bitcoin" would be (other than Satoshi Nakamoto himself) and i have also no idea who the great leader of litecoin is for that matter so somewhere on Crypton the concept of de-centralization hasn't been completely raped (like if you say here de-centralized it means 20 people deciding over everyone with literally NO control on where they get the votes from and also no expiry date on witness votes (i betcha fiver most of the votes they got they might still have from accounts that have LONG since quit ... a wave when it dropped under six, a ve when it went under five, a big wave when it went under $3 to $2 and then an aftershock after the hardfork-to-save-the-whale which left little postsers with barely anything of voteworth (by then steem already came from $7 dollar to $0.20 dollarcents

but ALL the votes cast from the start on ANY accoutn that didnt withdraw them before those people left this circus (i can say about 80 to 90 % of who i had in my voters - wrote myself some scripts - are stale, or gone but i dont know if their witness votes are so that would be like my dead grandma's last vote counting for the current government formation in hellgium here)

absurd ...

surreal even

[IMAGE: https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTtdsSfYaYqe2MfGeJt9rR87XWPfjMiGuLXHSTxt4Mm1M/16mh7i.jpg]

i have to admit i believed the frontpage

for about a week, then i ran into a pack of hyenas hiding behind steemcleaners ...

groupies more like , who enjoy the protection racket the cartel kept

and my illusion was over

but im not much of a quitter and mostly i had nothing better to do, then i found out about the technnical side and its really a piece of work, all that stuff keeps it interesting but the circus ?

fairy tales for the believers ... i know some pockets here and there 'micro-communities' if you like who were just as visible before as the current flip in the UI would make them now but its mostly what i call vote-suckers

people who would say anything or actually search for the best paid topics before they start writing ...

mostly heh ... a lot of people mistake the accounts young 'age' and starter-sp, they just assume you're new here ...

i dare say i havent really followed up yet but since Justin Sun entered what was stale suddenly become a little entertaining again haha

https://res.cloudinary.com/ddxo40bkm/image/upload/v1552045289/rootpage/tu.png

in your case you can't lie, you dont get 77 rep overnight lol

ive seen you around, its a really really small world if you look around a little but most people stick to their safe zone

its really easy to attract downvote trolls after all and there's no fun in that

o

i forgot to mention one who i consider a big player : Hyperledger from/by the Linux foundation, ... not know in HODL-land as they're probably the only ones who didnt sell a token or sell a token first on the promise of tomorrow but actually built/are building an open-type free-for-all ledger (block - chain , if you know anything about the technicalities the shortest version would be : one block only fits exactly between two other specific blocks , hence the name block - chain its a chain of blocks where , if you fiddle only ONE the chain breaks, which is what makes it immutable - in theory , as long as you have enoug parallel nodes, its really something close to dark magic by satoshi and a few cypherpunks but you could also say its a bit of a glorified torrent (lol im gonna get the inquisition for that))

what was i ? o yea ... looking at the backing hyperledger has :

(Blockchain, ConsenSys, Digital Asset, R3, Onchain), well-known technology platform companies (Cisco, Fujitsu, Hitachi, IBM, Intel, NEC, NTT DATA, Red Hat, VMware), financial services firms (ABN AMRO, ANZ Bank, BNY Mellon, CLS Group, CME Group, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), Deutsche Börse Group, J.P. Morgan, State Street, SWIFT, Wells Fargo, Sberbank), business software companies like SAP, academic institutions (Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, Blockchain at Columbia, UCLA Blockchain Lab), systems integrators and others (Accenture, Calastone, Wipro, Credits, Guardtime, IntellectEU, Nxt Foundation, Symbiont, Smart Block Laboratory)

id say they're set for a while and its most likely any big business will take THEM if they dont design their own IF
(big IF they see use for it)

what i noticed there is that somehow vitalsky (-ik , i know) has succeeded in selling parts of his mastodont to it but since we're talking the conglomerate of un-earthly above-the-clouds ultrageeks who actually understand and develop linux i have no doubt they know what they're doing, so maybe steem is not there for the standard reasons : (steemit always sucked monkey arse at selling itself and the witnesses actually never WANTED it to go out in the big world, which we are seeing right now, or were last week i didnt update myself yet) OR ... or else the ultra-geeks for some reason find ethereum-chain more interesting than ultra-fast transactionfree (fee-free ...)

i don't know , those people are above my braingrade, like Linus himself

whew

i was gonna get through the answers but i guess the rest get's a raincheck until next week-end

toodles

I think the problem of the dead votes is a valid one. So many accounts still voting for witnesses but long gone from the scene. They really would counter it with vote decay and limit the workers votes but they never really saw it as a problem. Funny that, eh!
