  • Look I know these threads are wack when we get to deep and memory fails even the best of us, it’s fine.

    1. Fiivemacs asked about why no gloves.
    2. You said they needed the fine motor skills
    3. Fiivemacs agreed with you, citing the kitchen thing(and by extention how they hamper fine motor skills.
    4. You made it about sanitation, didn’t want to be corrected, and then asked why we were all talking about sanitation.

    That’s all there is to it.



  • Actually not wearing gloves and washing your hands regularly is, I believe, generally bettee for sanitation. There’s a lot of false confidence and shit with gloves, and they cost money and are technically a limited resource. You should always have them on hand, especially for if you get cut and need to wear a bandaid, but washing your hands as needed is totally fine.

    And as it relates to this conversation they have a point in that gloves fucking suck to wear. They’re weirdly sticky and also even tight ones are like wearing loose skin and it just kinda sucks. Again, super great to have around and they can be awesome for some tasks where you just do not want to have to do anything more than removing the glove and rinsing, but the point stands.


  • That sometimes works, but sometimes the right way is not immediately comfortable so people so stuff that seems right and hurt themselves. Sometimes the thing that seemed correct initially was only because of a lack of deeper understanding and an ignorance of the knowledge of those who have already made the mistakes.

    I dance, play instruments, drive cars, and do a whole lot of other things where the immediately comfortable thing is so often one of the best ways to develop a massively limiting habit that is a huge pain to get away from once you realize how badly it’s holding you back.

    It’s a case-by-case basis, of course, but simply “the best is what you’re most comfortable with” does not have near the nuance it needs to not be abused. It is great advice for people once they have built up a strong base of knowledge, and until then they need to get over it and try things.



  • Weird conservatives have never been know to understand things like “longterm effects” or “treating what they have with any respect”.

    They like buying trucks, guns, and knives. They like showing those things off. Like the “rustic charm” in the memes that are really just about how anti-social they are. They like wearing red and black flannel, camo hats, and acting like they could totally live off the land just because their entire idea of nature is about who’s more violent.

    The people who can name the birds and trees, who gather responsibly, and just like to go for a nice canoe aren’t usually too conservative. Obviously it happens but that requires a level effort and stewardship for the land that’s often incompatible with the personality required to grasp onto conservatism.


  • Same! I take the metro, rented bikes, and walk to get pretty much everywhere. I have a car, it’s a sportscar that I’ve been to the track woth several times and maintain myself. I’m a better driver than them, even in the commuting sense, and I know far more about my expensive purchase than they ever will, and yet their the ones screeching about their bullshit “war on cars” that isn’t even real.

    I’ll never go back to needing a car to do basic daily life things, it’s fucking horrible and I don’t know why anyone would want to live like that.



  • It’s fucking soup with cheese that’s so covered in sauce it will never reach any level of golden brown delicious, nor even be able to dream of it. It’s such a US thing to think that more is better while annihilating all the nuance that makes the thing actually good in the first place.

    A deep crust is fine, just put more in it and put that cheese on top where it can really shine. Fill that bad bitch with all kinds of great stuff. Use more than the most basic, one-note pizza sauce.

    I was so hyped for deep-dish and it let me down so fucking hard.

    No?

    Yes, sometimes it’s better to just leave the shitty person to be shitty but not calling people out also validates their shitty opinions. I’m glad you’re in a place of privilege to just ignore it but maybe practice your own fuckin’ augenmaß and butt out if you don’t have anything constructive to say.

    “Wah wah I’m a victim look they’re going to attack me any second now!”

    I hope you figure out whatever’s destroying your sense of self-worth and causing you to attack margainalisized communities to protect what’s left of your ego. That’s both a dig and a genuine dose of sympathy.





  • Bike lanes aren’t just for cyclists, and actually it can pretty easily argued that a basically insignificant number of the users are hardcore cyclists. Where I live a bicycle is simply one of the best ways to get around and people will just use the great bikeshare program to get around.

    So yea, nothing to do with someone’s hobby, and most everyone who wants to see a bike lane also wants everything else. What we’re all mad about is that bike lanes are so fucking easy to do and yet you’ll never see a temper tantrum like when you ask for a road that’s way wider than it needs to be to have one installed.



  • Do you have a source because it really does not destroy the fibre unless you’re doing an incredible fine grind which a blender simply is not capable of, certainly for the 10-20s it takes to make a smoothie. You’ll need a source on this.

    Nuts aren’t unhealthy seriously what are you talking about? A bunch of extreme examples that never really happen?
