I felt this way until the first time I had a tomato that had never been refrigerated. Turns out that the enzymes that make tomatos taste good denatures at fridge temps, and makes them taste like grainy mush. If you ever get a chance to try a fresh tomato, I can’t guarantee you’ll like it but I can guarantee it’s a significantly different taste and texture than the cold ruined tomatoes you find at a grocery store

I’m trying to remember the brainrot memes from my childhood but I can’t because I am le tired

The packets: “I want to get off Mr Bones’ wild ride”

Disclaimer: I’m a straight cis man, but I have/have had quite a few lesbian friends over time who have explained this joke to me. Take my explanation with the appropriate grain of salt

“the dating pool is tiny to nonexistant” is a common complaint I’ve heard from lesbians I know, probably related to the fact that I’ve mostly lived in rural areas. Given the low availability of partners, its more common to jump into relationships quickly and really commit to them. I’ve also heard a lot of “I really want somebody to live with me so I don’t just choke on something and die”. Probably less common nowadays, but I’m from a generation when it was harder to be gay publicly --> harder for lesbians to find roommates. Living with other women often meant being stigmatized by straight women that don’t understand lesbians are people and not just sex crazed harlots, and honestly that but worse because of a higher threat of violence with straight men. I’ve heard that moving in with a romantic partner as a lesbian is a move that lets you have a roommate with less objectification related to your gender/orientation. Again, idk how much of that is true today, but that is my understanding of the origins of the joke

Looks like a banging cheap/lazy meal. If you can find it, a thin BBQ sauce like Bachans makes a beautiful glaze on spam if you squirt a bit on right as you drop the spam in the pan

Afaik this is how to make a Cuban espresso. I was taught to mix the sugar with the first few drops inside the moka pot, but I’m sure it would do the same thing mixed in a glass

China is full of shit about it being unintentional, they’ve been playing grey zone games for quite a few years now and the nations around them have caught on. I’d argue missile deployment is exactly proportional to an unplanned breach of airspace by a military asset. It’s historically a pretty good idea to build up your defense when a neighbor is brandishing their military on your borders

Quarks are forever ruined by the decision to get rid of the truth and beauty quark nomenclature in favor of top and bottom. Iirc it was done because some physicist was afraid of a headline “physicists fail to find truth” when they were trying to prove the existence of the top quark

You ever start replying to disagree with a comment and then realize the things you’ve normalized in your romantic past are a bit fucked up? That’s where I’m at right now

I’ve had sex plenty of times I didn’t really want to in the past. It goes like

She’s horny and wants to fuck. I am not

If I say no it’s a self esteem meltdown

If I say yes it’s a bit of a workout that ends in cuddling, which I always want

It’s just always felt better for my life to be an on demand dick machine than somebody who can say no

I quit a physics phd path just under a decade ago because my experimental results were turning up negative and the uni I was at pushed me to doctor my results so we would keep getting funded. I also wonder about this

Stands for something like child sexual abuse material iirc. It’s a more formal term for child porn, the kind you’d see in like Facebook moderator job descriptions or court filings against accused sex offenders

Ds2 was a 10/10 game. Unfortunately ds1 was like 25/10 making ds2 look like dogshit in comparison. If it doesn’t bother you to ride a 2 minute elevator upwards to an underground lake of fire though (or other “they clearly didn’t think about the map or ambient storytelling” moments the game has), ds2 is great. I will never stop being salty about it though, I have never been let down by a game more than I was by ds2 on release

Nope, just a passing straw grasper. I’m tryna make a basket

The username Canada plus implies that Canadians are generally shaped like a plus (+), which is incredibly ableist towards Canadians with no arms

I cast non-magic missile!

Even among linux enjoyers redhat has stigma now. Iirc they went closed source a bit ago

I think tempeh is hard to cook with if you’re not used to it. I cut out most of any acidic ingredient if I’m cooking with tempeh because it tastes pretty acidic already imo, but I hated it before I figured that out

Checks out. I used to work at Jimmy johns as a delivery driver, and almost every Friday without fail I’d get an order from a Michelin restaurant at like 430pm before they opened. Loved that delivery
