Some artwork is done when you're proud of it, some is done when you're sick of it. This one is definitely the "fuck it, that'll do" type, as additional messing with it only made it messier instead of better.

why havent they pulled a time loop con... got me thinking about how you WOULD pull a time loop con, and why. Specifically, how you could convince someone else that they were trapped in a time loop, and what sort of thing you would hope to accomplish from this.
i mean in various episodes they did canonically:
convince a guy he was being targeted both by aliens and by an MIB-style government organization hiding the aliens from people.
convince another guy he was in the middle of an epidemic of a deadly-in-hours disease.
kidnap and drug a man over and over in order to make him think he was dreaming, to the point that he almost killed himself because his sense of reality was falling apart.
if Anyone could pull off a time loop con it would be them. I assume it would have to be a somewhat contained location and a short loop; harder to convince someone time's repeating if the rest of the world is still visibly turning.
it would involve some prerecorded conversations, all of sophie's acting students as extras to sell the illusion, a building with back hallways or some secret doors (in order to exit stage left and enter stage right), and hardison hacking all the tech in the building for the clocks to reset. (There would also for sure be a close call moment when they almost forget about an analogue wall clock and have to work it into their tight timeline each "loop" for someone to go wind it back by an hour.)
The why is a bit more difficult; I'm not sure what information or outcome they could possibly need from a mark that would make "fake a time loop" the best course of action. but i do think they would still decide to do it. considering the other cons they've pulled off. i think eliot and breanna especially would have fun with it.
So you don't really drink, but you're out with friends and you want to have a bit of a tipple? But you're not into beer and hard liquor is too much and you're ehh about wine.
Here's a tip. See if they have Finnish long drink.
Long drink, or lonkero, is usually a premixed, soda-like spritz-esque drink made from usually gin and grapefruit soda, or possibly cranberry or lime. It tastes like Fresca. The gin is not prominent at all. It's not super strong - usually 5-6% which is less than most wines. It's tasty. You won't be choking it down.
If they don't have it, a decent facsimile is grapefruit soda (like Fresca) or even Sprite mixed with a little gin, and lime juice punches it up a bit.
I've been seeing long drink in more and more bars these days. It's like...wine coolers or Zima, but cool. You can also buy it in cans at many grocery stores.
Bro, you ok? Bro, humans aren’t separate from the ecosystems around us. We’re a part of them, bro. Bro, we’re never going to have absolutely zero effect on ecosystems, because we live here, bro. Bro, I never said it had to be a bad effect. We don’t have to immediately be perfect either, bro, sometimes doing what you can is what you can, and its way better than nothing. Bro what do you mean humans are a plague. You’re starting to sound a bit like an ecofascist, bro… Bro?
