oh how the turn tables

EDIT: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

Kinks are for gettin’ nasty, not bein’ fashy

I really don’t think original buldak noodles are very spicy at all. Like, I can feel it, but it isn’t what I would consider to be very spicy. They also don’t taste good, though. Like 3/10 spiciness.

Typical buffalo sauce or name brands like tabasco, cholula, etc. are not noticeably spicy to me.like 0/10 spiciness.

I have a decent spice tolerance, but I also don’t enjoy eating super spicy things “just because”. I want my food to actually taste good. Being able to eat spicy food lets me taste more flavor in hot peppers, but there’s zero point in eating really spicy stuff just to prove you can, imo.

Definitely dinstinct leches. Also plant milks: almond, oat, coconut. Coconut cream should also count IMO. Then there is condensed coconut milk as well.

Handmaids tale but less whimsical. No red robes or any of the other trimmings. Just the stupidest people imagineable running a declining empire while governing in the most racist and cruel way while still supporting business, just increasingly kkkristian coded.

Thats the result anyway. But an actual civil war? No shot. This happens without significant opposition.

It’s autor/autora apparently. Author is also autor.

Just goes to show how much of longevity is genetic

No amount of alcohol is healthy and grapes are highly toxic to cats and dogs

That is a bit of a misnomer since figuring things out requires at least a double-digit IQ and I don’t have one of those.

True - I totally agree.

I will read it. Regardless, though, he is associated with the left and him going down for this would be bad PR for the left broadly, which sucks - that’s my only point other than we don’t know he’s done anything untoward here.

If you look at his emails with Epstein, it’s literally Epstein asking him about his academic work, Epstein toying with various little theories and asking Chomsky about them, etc. All above board so far. Him being on the plane is not great, but it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a pedo. It opens up that possibility, but there is not proof of him doing anything wrong. Yet. I really hope he didn’t do anything wrong, but it’s obviously a possibility.

No matter what you think about Chomsky, he’s an extremely important intellectual figure and is associated with the left. Him going down would be bad for all of us - so I hope he’s not a bastard.

First mention by hhhhwhite people was in 1869, apparently. But mentioned in chinese texts as early as like 2000 years ago

And make your kids help with stuff regardless of gender. So many people grow up without basic life skills bc parents didn’t involve them in activities regardless of the gender-coded-ness of those activities.

My wife is on the ace spectrum. She enjoys sex, but only experiences reactive sexual desire (i.e. she’ll get in the mood once sex is basically already happening). Effectively she does not experience sexual desire in the way people typically mean that.

That’s been a struggle for us. We don’t do scheduled sex, but it’s something we’ve considered. Even though we have very good (if infrequent) sex, the frequency isn’t the thing that’s hard for me to deal with. The hardest thing is not feeling desired in ways I am used to in relationships. That has made me feel insecure and just overall is not great. But it’s something we’ve had to work through.

So all that goes to say: yes, if you find the right person you’ll be able to make it work. The key, in my opinion, is talking about it and being very clear about how you’re wired and that it isn’t anything wrong with them.

Well sure. CEOs’ main job is to coordinate the functions of major business units with the wishes of shareholders/the board of directors. Ultimately they’re a middleman on the hook for the results of the business without actual direct control of day to day operations.

Effectively that means they give broad goals and direction to named execs, who translate those goals into actions for their organizations, that middle managers direct their teams to achieve. Then middle managers report success/failure to named execs, who report back to the CEO who (in conjunction with the other named execs) reports success/failure to shareholders & the board along with financial results.

The execs all are basically on the hook for the results of the decisions made by those below them, but they only decide the broad strokes of the actions of the business.

LLMs could do most of that. The only problem is they can’t really make decisions properly. But they could pretty easily turn what is said by the board & shareholders into goals for others to enact - and maybe determine if actions taken by the business support the goals to some degree.

That is like 80% of the job of a CEO.

US does mulled wine, but it’s more of a general winter thing. More common up north in areas with more northern european influence, I think. Mince pies aren’t really a thing, though, which is a shame.

很酷！很多的人也很多的我的朋友 from my hometown & childhood 和你一样来自中国。我喜欢能看到 the etymology in a 汉字。

I wish 我的中文是足够好 to understand 中文 TV. 老师小猪佩奇不是有趣的。

我正在学习中文。中文很难！

I took a break from learning Chinese for a while due to personal stuff being busy and am trying to get back into it. Chinese is a very logical language, I think, and learning it is fun and interesting but challenging. I was just about HSK1 level, I think, before I stopped. I gotta boot up peppa pig in mandarin again - 你好小猪佩奇老师，我是你的学生！

1. take your open chip bag

2. fold the top of the bag down about 2cm/1in. Do this 2 more times.

3. take the corners of the folded part and fold them toward the middle of the rolled part at an angle

4. the tricky part. We are going to invert the cuff we’ve made - like flip the folded part inside out. Push those corners in and flip the folded part over them.
