This headline is hilarious. It directly contradicts itself. Renaissance means rebirth. Video game music needs to have been very popular and then fallen out of popularity for that claim to be true. And then it says now more than ever it is being appreciated. Meaning it never had this much popularity. Meaning a renaissance is literally not what is happening. Good for composers though! Well earned appreciation for sure. I'm not mad at it or anything, just wanted to point out how stupid the headline is lol
I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you’re tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread
How fantastic is this? I personally love cooking so it's something I actually do to curb depression, but I know many people who could use this book. Even if just as a symbol of solidarity. Thanks for sharing!
You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.
As a gay man, maybe early empire Rome? Or even like early nomadic tribe times? Like, before there were institutions large enough to oppress people en masse. I'm sure there was plenty of gay sex happening as a nomadic hunter or trader.
I’ve noticed YouTube specifically has become more addictive, I never used to be one to sit and scroll for long durations before but I often catch myself spending way too long on shorts now...
I relate to this more than op. I pretty much only use lemmy and discuit, and then twitch and discord for gaming. And I spend way less time on them than i did on reddit. Youtube has never been my thing. I hate being talked at by some try hard asshole trying to get me to subscribe to their mediocre channel. And the community there feels like it's mostly people under the age of 16. No thanks. In general, the enshitiffication is real, and it's pushing me away.
We were invited friends house for dinner last night. My wife brought potato salad. I like lots of eggs in my potato salad. We had a couple of dozen duck what in the fridge so my wife boiled up a dozen and added them. It’s about half by volume hard boiled duck eggs and it’s delicious.
A California man with a “420” head tattoo who is accused of decapitating a female relative and fleeing the scene with her head has been arrested in San Francisco, according to police.
Did any of you read the article? Yes, NY post is trash. But they mention it as the reason he was identified. Because he has a very specific, very noticeable identifier. Such as a giant head tattoo.
I love horror movies especially the cheesey type of horror movies that are so stupid that they are great. I do prefer the ones that would always appear on SyFy, but any other type (that is not like the ones on SyFy and look a lot better) is fine too.

This was my initial reaction too. I get that you are probably a mess right now, but a whole fucking lot is being done. And just doing for the sake of doing is reactionary and leads to poor choices being made.

Go to your local food bank. Food banks are often seriously underused programs that are exactly for people in your situation. A lot of people are hesitant to use food pantries because they perceive them to be for people in worse shape than themselves. But if you are only able to pay half rent, you are exactly the person that food pantries are more than happy to help. They are typically staffed with incredible people who often have their own experiences with trouble making ends meet, and these days you can get some very high quality and fresh food. Please, go. Other than that, know that being tired and feeling hopeless is normal, but you can persevere. Just reaching out here is a really hard step that takes a lot of courage. Good on you! And good luck! Internet hugs!!!
Just want to put this out there in case anybody is struggling with the sauce breaking, use an immersion blender if you have one! You can google it, there are a few variations on how to do it, but it works like a charm!

First, thanks for such an enthusiastic, detailed, and entertaining write up! Not to mention educational! I, too, adore beans and eat them alone as a lunch often.

Radiohead. I think it really boils down to how irritating I find Thom yorke's voice to be. No, I don't want to listen to you whine for 6 minutes straight, thanks though.
Please stop. You are actively hurting the cause. Being combative, dismissive, rude, and condescending turns people away, and makes them hate vegans and veganism. By your words, it is clear you don't actually want to convince people to eat less meat. You are just stroking your tiny ego. Seriously. Stop.
A pretty vague question I know, but I’m not looking for any specific answer. I’m just curious what peoples thoughts are on audiobooks. Perhaps how you think they compare to paper books or how listening compares to reading. Any thoughts you have on the subject is welcome.
Even titles of plays. Nothing was slang for vagina, so Much Ado About Nothing was an off color joke roughly translated today as "a ruckesss about pussy".
I mean, that's great! But what happens to his army of degenerate war criminals? They just unite under some other scumbag? Hopefully, he was arrogant enough to leave behind no indication of what to do in an event like this, and they succumb to infighting. We can dream, I suppose.
