The FDA lets plenty of questionable stuff in food, so I wouldnt be surprised if theres questionable emulsifiers that are used sometimes. My main issue with those peanut butters is that the texture is like eating old toothpaste and the flavor is like your aunt’s perfume at the funeral of the peanut :(

The pasty emulsified super sweet peanut butter is nasty. I guess I just didnt grow up eating that stuff so I’m not desensitized to it (did have peanut butter a few times, but it was a normal one. Tastes like peanuts and slightly salty). But it tastes like vaguely sweet paste and the texture is horrid. It made me gag the first time I had it because I was like “Oh peanut butter? I like that stuff.”

I’d do anything to lick Dave Mustaine…

Anywhere is fine

I commented without thinking, but then realized I actually wanted to add on to this. Chatgpt offers such shallow uninteresting responses that I don’t see how anyone could have any kind of attachment to it

Yeah dont do that. Just hallucinate like a normal person.

Honestly, when bulking, the worse the food is the better. You want it to be bland

As someone who thinks ai chatbots are pretty dumb and have limited use cases (more of a proof of concept technology) the water thing is kinda dumb. Like yes it uses a lot of water, but so does everything else. and its really not gonna matter if someone types in a few goofy little prompts

I forgot I was Saturn, to be honest…

Good and evil are merely constructs, created by humanity to assign value to actions. The gods do not abide by such narrow divisions

Grades are for administration, not students. Students would receive far better education if schooling was focused on them learning and thinking and developing important skills. But after the industrial revolution, schools were designed solely as thought terminating obedience teaching places

To me its always looked blue and brown

The best drink is water

Refreshing, healthy, and universally appealing. Although city tap water is nasty (where I live). It tastes like stale pool water. Well water is delicious though. Tastes fresh, clean, and a little metallic, but I dont mind. Some people dislike the metallic taste, but I think I actually like it. Its a lot better than stale nasty pool water taste.

Water is also the base for many other beverages. What else do you make your tea with? Or coffee?

Therapy really doesnt help. For some people it can be amazing, but it just won’t work for everyone and that is ok.

For me personally, I’m just too different from how the therapists wanted me to be (I know this sounds weird, I will explain). They (plural, I’ve seen multiple) would try to convince me I can and do experience things that “are normal human feelings that everyone experiences”, and didn’t seem to be able to understand the things I was telling them I actually experience. They could not understand that I simply do not think in any conventional manner and do not have the same thoughts other people do. And I am not saying “Oh I think differently I am such an intellectual, infinitely superior to mere mortals”. There are a lot of things my brain cannot do at all, I will never be able to drive a car, and can’t follow cooking recipies very well. They all had the same mindset, that somewhere in my brain the things they were looking for existed. I am lucky that I never had any serious mental health issues, I only wanted to go to ensure that I wouldn’t have an issue in the future, since I am more likely to experience them, due to being significantly disabled

Barn cats are actually pretty important. rodents can be terrible, and spread disease due to the conditions they often live in. Cats help with snakes and certain bugs as well (larger bugs they can swat at. Usually just kill them and play with them, but I’ve seen cats eat them too)

But is still absolutely essential to spay/neuter barn cats, and provide them with safe places to get away from coyotes. Spay/neuter is to prevent them from making more cats, which can quickly get out of hand. For getting away from coyotes, raised areas they can quickly climb to are good. Yes coyotes can jump, but I’ve never seen a coyote climb. Their front legs just dont bend the right way to let them grab the tree

Very detailed, informational response, delightful to read, thank you for typing all that for me :)

I dont really have much to say about most of it, mostly speaks for itself. But I do agree that just the words translated into modern English is almost never accurate. Truly good, accurate translations have notes, alternate meanings, explanations on context and culture

That’s actually really interesting thanks

You know security wouldn’t be such an issue if windows wasn’t literal malware. But, you know, that’d hurt their paychecks

Same thing with google, they’d have much better security if all their products weren’t designed to be malware infested

I hate it when someone tells a joke that quite literally just amounts to “I think its funny to be mean to minorities or historically (or currently) oppressed groups haha look how edgy I am”

Like no that’s not funny you’re just making yourself look stupid

Thank you to the people who gave recommendations, I’ll add them to my list and get around to reading them eventually :)
