Not a requirement. You can if you like, but then you'd be exactly like everyone else. Which may or may not suit you. Still, it's only for a short time, so this might be a nice way to experiment with that sort of thing to see if it does suit you.

I've never tried being a hipster before, maybe I'll like it. I am most definitely liking this full 5g pulling 110mbps down, though. We technically have 5g in my area, but it's outside only, gotta stand on something, and it almost always drops back to 4g. 30mbps tops

The acid test is to go to a random cafe, and ask for food containing gluten. If they say yes, you've reached peak hipster.

Isn't it good without gluten that peak hipster? And where does a cafe that only does nut milk and other vegan alternatives but no cows milk rank? That's pretty much what I imagine Brunswick cafes to be like

Just avoid Alasya. Worst group food poisoning incident of my life.

I remember that! It took out heaps of people

They're not all that extreme - most will have cow juice available.
