OCATMBBL,

I’m not really a fan. They have a certain light taste of black pepper that ruins them for me. I guess I’m sort of like the cilantro-soap people.

OCATMBBL,

It’s not exactly black pepper. It’s like mangoes and black pepper share a something, and that’s enough to remind me of black pepper, if that makes sense.

This does mean I like it enough as an ingredient - for example, I would eat mango salsa.

OCATMBBL,

It’s way better if you feed all the ingredients through a meat grinder (the irony is not lost on me), rather than a food processor. Think corn meal texture vs flour texture.

Also, deep fry it. Baking it just isn’t nearly as good.

OCATMBBL,

You mean like the threat of the end of democracy? Or the housing crisis? Or the student debt crisis? Inflation (which is largely just greed)? Increasing wealth disparity? Frozen wage increases? Loss of pensions? Threats to social security? Medical costs increasing and insurance paying out less and less?

Have empathy, and look around. Just because you are OK now doesn’t mean everyone is.

OCATMBBL,

There is more interaction, but also a lot more crazy far-right assholes the past few weeks at least (in my experience).

OCATMBBL,

Or it’s people trying to muddy the water to both-sides something. I’ve been noticing an uptick of posts from the far-right crowd creeping out of the woodwork recently, and they’re all up in arms about people saying US Conservatives are intolerant.

Being told not to be an asshole to others isn’t intolerance. It is the intolerance of intolerance - which is a necessary part of a tolerant society.

See: The Paradox of Intolerance (which the far right nuts call the new Mein Kamp. Gross).

OCATMBBL,

Someone needs to read more about the Paradox of Tolerance.

OCATMBBL,

Yes, not tolerating intolerance is the same as advocating for the destruction of people based on race. Grow up and quit sucking on Donnie’s toes.

OCATMBBL,

“Well, the statistics show that the rate of dolphin deaths are declining.”

“Yeah, that happens when the rest are dead.”

OCATMBBL,

If you can help it - sign up for nothing with a direct bank withdrawal or debit card. Use a credit card, because it puts an important barrier between you and your purchases. It’s way easier to get help with stuff for credit cards, and it’s easier to cancel than getting a new bank account. Bonus: charge backs punish these assholes.

OCATMBBL,

All I hear is the black power ranger transformation from the original series.

OCATMBBL,

Because when an entire generation cannot afford housing, and an older generation starts dying, the houses have nowhere to go. Right now, houses are just changing hands and climbing a wealth generation ladder, but the last buyer at the high prices holds the bag when it all falls apart.

OCATMBBL,

Oh shit, it’s almost like a lot of other vaccines, like the flu vaccine. You’ve uncovered a big government secret! The Immuminati will be by to give you a gold star tonight.

OCATMBBL,

This is me at my guitar lesson. I promise I’m trash, but I’m not the level of trash I seem to be when my teacher is watching.

OCATMBBL,

I started learning guitar again with the additional time, after a 13 year period of not taking it seriously.

I’ve seen improvements in Sight reading General dexterity Fretboard layout comprehension Clarity (less buzz/fuzz)

Thanks for being trash, reddit. It was exactly what I needed to get my ass moving and doing something more worthwhile.

OCATMBBL,

“Yeah, fuck her!” works for both.

OCATMBBL,

My biggest qualm is a qualm I have with any acronym/abbreviation. If you’re going to introduce a letter that is unknown to many, then define your term. Otherwise, I’m going to assume it’s a typo, or I going to not recognize it.

All acronyms and abbreviations, or at least those that aren’t commonplace, should be defined somewhere adjacent to their use, or else you are excluding people.

Speech/text is only useful if you’re using it in a way that appropriately conveys a message to it’s intended audience.

OCATMBBL,

Plus, if you feed it peanuts for fetching goodies, it’s an avían, self-replicating fashion-generating machine.

If you’re into shiny pieces of metal, coins, smooth pebbles, and glass shards, and occasional jewelry. I mean, I’d be flattered by whatever kind of bird treasure - I don’t know about you.

OCATMBBL,

RealTruthPatriotNewsDaily-dot-net.ru

OCATMBBL,

I would put money toward that. I had RIF for years, and would love something to make Lemmy feel a little more familiar.

OCATMBBL,

If only he had another typist or two, he could have out hacked them.

OCATMBBL,

Quit pussyfooting around.

OCATMBBL,

It appeals to a broad group of new users, and Lemmy needs posts. I think it’s ok for a few days or even weeks. It’s topical - people are going to talk about something important to them. To tell them to shut up, and/or to shove it makes them feel unwelcome, which is counter to the growth Lemmy needs.

Sometimes it’s ok to be annoyed by something, but to recognize it’s worth to others.

OCATMBBL,

I like the idea of awards that donate proceeds to food security charities, even though it’s only tangential to what you said.

OCATMBBL,

So, I’m not sure why I would switch instances (I’m very new). Do I need new account on that instance then? I’ve heard about different front pages or something. I’m still confused.

I downloaded Connect on your recommendation though. Thanks!
