Drop the pasta, start the playlist, when the music is over, you’ve got perfectly cooked pasta

Too bad that Spotify gave money to Donald Trumps' inauguration.

- You're correct, forgot about that.
  Shit is everywhere nowadays..
  
  Fucking fuck why does everything have to be awful :(
- And that Barilla pasta (at least the stuff sold in Canada) is made in the USA.
  
  Barilla makes their EU pasta in Europe.
  
  But their pasta sold in the EU seems to be made in Parma, Italy.
- It's been 4 whole hours and lemmings haven't suggested Jellyfin or Navidrome or something yet?!
  
  Qobuz!
So Barilla, the homophobic pasta maker, works with Spotify, the pro-Trump streaming platform
- What makes them homophobic?
  
  Their chairman. His position is that he "respects" gay marriage, but gay couples are not a real family. Basically the average "moderate" catholic bullshit.
- Thanks for this mention!
  I'm returning the box I bought recently, I'll buy a different brand.
The instructions are written on the packet and phones have a timer. This is marketing for Barilla and Spotify.
- The ad invasion has officially begun in earnest apparently. Brands should be downvoted (or banned or quarantined or something) as a rule.
  Now... what can we do about political astroturfing? Politics is super broad and people legitimately talk about it all the time (as they should).
everyone's obsessing over pasta too much. take a fork and taste one, there's no universal amount of time
- True, and you are probably not putting anywhere near enough salt to the water.
  
  And do not rinse it people. toss in oil and lay it flat to dry if need be. it'll drink up your water and be soggy
  
  God damn, I already take my salt can and just pour it in for a few seconds. You trying for higher blood pressure?
Shut up brands.
"I've heard this song too often"
skip
Cool but https://leave-russia.org/barilla
- So?
- Are they vampires or honest about his view? Really not the big deal you want it to be. You can't take a slightly uncomfortable truth but prefer confident bullshit lies from whoever is trying to market to you at that moment.
- If you do, please post a photo of whatever sticks
sadly it does not work as good with ads and loading times in between
Much prefer La Molisana. Bronze die pasta is superior for getting starchy pasta water which is critical to achieving sauce emulsification in many pastas like spaghetti cacio e pepe, spaghetti carbonara, and bucatini all’amatriciana. The rough texture of bronze die pasta also seems to help the sauce adhere better to the surface of each noodle.
"Al dente" essentially means "cook your pasta as long as you like"
- It literally means the exact opposite of that.
  
  That is a famous superstition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8wZbNmdIKw
  To be fair: I didn't know either, until I had a long discussion on the topic with my colleagues wife - who is an Italian.
