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

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

I have a run 2 challenge run

That might be able to come close on 2 challenges right now. I haven't been playing it as an equipment restricted challenge, but this build feels insane and only really relies on darts, free-runner talents with the cloak, and the ring and wands. Plus seeds to tip the darts. Most of the kills are "shoot corrosion, freerun and/or stealth and/or blast wand away, finish kills with darts after letting the orange cloud of death do its work". The armor doesn't matter because you never get hit and the upgrades I spent on the crossbow could go into the ring or the wand if you were planning it from the start. MDV-GYJ-SFX if you wanna try it, on shattered. The challenges are hostile champs and badder bosses

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

I do have one counterargument. Get ratio'd, dumbass. To be clear, that is a blatant personal attack made because I have no respect for you or your suspiciously pro chinese shit-takes. You make the claim that a y-9 military Reconnaissance plane isn't threatening because the lethal part of the weapon systems they enable are not physically located on said plane. How the fuck do you think target acquisition and guidance for mid to long range weapons works? Weapons like the Chinese df17, which is comparable to the US typhon system and already in position to fire on Japan. Any opinions about that one? Does Japan not have the same right to territorial defense as China? Enlighten me with your "realistic political understanding"

Lol, fuck off tankie. I'm not interested in debating apologists asking for asinine burdens of proof and resorting to childish personal attacks in their first response to my words. Go whine about me on grad or to your handler.

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

Hey it's me, the 3 scorpions and 2 succubi waiting for you at floor 23 on the way back up. Hope you don't plan on keeping that amulet without a fight!

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

At first glance I thought this was a cpu with an unholy amount of thermal paste on it, I am so pleasantly surprised by your tale of port repair
