I think I'm officially an adult now

[MysteriousWeeb420]

I genuinely like the taste of coffee and beer

wine still tastes like shit though

Congrats. After years of peer-pressure and trying to fit in, you have now have a pavlovian response to things that you naturally found disgusting

yea the first time you had an apple or a grape or a strawberry you only liked it cause you were conditioned to like it, the same way you are conditioned to not like eating bugs and rocks and sand.
