Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.

I’ve gone through all the stages of grief and I don’t live there. I honestly don’t know why it does or even should bother me. I guess there is some part of me that hates injustice and has some nostalgia for an America, real or always imagined, that was trying to do its best for the free world (even though that was, in many cases, found to be objectively not true later).
If anything, it seems like they may finally get rid of some of the stuff that makes it difficult to impossible for US people living overseas to use certain retirement vehicles without committing tax fraud (PFICs; PFICs everywhere and I can’t put income into my US tax-advantaged vehicles due to rules on that side), but potentially doing one thing that helps me does not do anything to assuage my revulsion and rage at the current situation.
I use mbin but I never look at where a post is coming from these days. I don’t actually use subscriptions and just block things I’m explicitly not interested in as I see them so I take in a bit of everything.
When Epic first launched, they didn’t have payment processors in a number of countries. Want to play that Epic exclusive game? Well too fucking bad because you can’t buy it. That one frustrated me as someone who lives outside of some of the major countries. Also, the people behind it are absolute tools in my opinion and I’d rather not support them.
I have done that year after year. The chucklefuck Ds in office now who can’t be bothered to look up from their insider trading to do literally anything useful are never getting another vote from me. Anyone who lands on the next ballot with a D next to their name is far from guaranteed to get my vote. If the Ds refuse to do anything at all about this brewing constitutional crisis and ending of the rule of law. Voting more of the same in isn’t any kind of change, particularly if they just let those in charge shit on everything.
BBS on a commodore64 and a tiny bit of compuserve.
I blocked all the communities as they came up. I guess it’s meant to compete with TikTok or yt shorts or whatever, but I’ve never been into that type of content and what I saw here didn’t change that
Yeah, most US salad dressing are either based on oil or mayo (which is also somewhat based on oil). Ranch is mayo, sour cream (or similar), and a bunch of dried herbs/spices. I think it’s the sour cream part I never cared for, but I also don’t much like US mayo. I thought I hated all mayo until I had Japanese Kewpie.
But just check out my cesium siding and TURN OFF THAT SPRINKLER RIGHT N
Some sushi in Japan has mayo and such on it. That’s just grosser mayo, so it’s not that far removed.
I don’t think anyone is weird for eating or liking them, but they’re definitely not for me.
I grew up making tiny spaghetti-on-garlic-bread sandwiches whenever we had both. Noodle sandwiches are definitely a thing in Japan (yakisoba pan is one)
I’m used to the smell at this point, but eating it still makes me gag. There’s some flavor compound in there that, with anything other than a tiny bite, tells my body that this thing needs to be expelled.
Cold pizza was generally a texture issue for me: congealed grease is not pleasant. To me, anything that I could generally eat cold has better flavor and texture when heated so I would never opt for the (to me) inferior version unless it were unavoidable.
I mean, I lost all my old posts (or at least access to them) when two instances I was on just poof’d.
I’m a software engineer and I had to quit self-hosting due to simply not having the time nor the ability to research and keep up with security, products that were going away, new ones, etc. I have a job, run a farm, and do housework and other work. It’s just not in the cards for me.
Fuck take two, fuck gearbox, fuck pitchford, and fuck borderlands; that series should’ve stopped once pre-sequal and BL2 were out.
I could see that working. I never liked PB&J due to texture issues, but always liked the idea of sweet + salty/savory.
I grew up with family on the OH/WV border and some in WV and I’ve never seen the abomination in the picture.
Is it called the Jetta there? I know some cars have regional model names.
