Mmm, that's how I make my sausage gravy. Got made fun of by an Appalachian guy for it being like concrete but hey, why not if you've got the meat, right?
It doesn't work with the joke though: Americans use the word "pudding" to refer to something sweet while Brits use the word "biscuit" to refer to something sweet. Fries aren't sweet in either of the two opposing dialects. So both should be able to see the appeal
The English word "Sherbert" and the bangla word "Sharbat" derive from a common linguistic ancestor from before the indo-european split. One word refers to flavored ice, and another refers to a cold, sweet drink.
Odds are, neither one is the same as the original proto-indo-european refreshment that they derived from. When a people goes to a new place, they take their tastes with them and apply them to what's available to them there.
Words, too, change meaning over time. It's just the way things go. Nothing stays the same. Cultures drift, and people evolve.
What I call a biscuit may be closer to what you call a scone, and white gravy may be an abomination to your eyes, but it is just as cherished to me as Yorkshire pudding and brown gravy likely is to you.
And hell, y'all's empire fell to pieces long ago. The time is coming where y'all're gonna have to start engaging with cultures other than y'all's own as equals instead of with that insufferable smug sense of superiority for once. Best start practicing now
The core joke here is that Yorkshire pudding is unsweetened, just as American biscuits are unsweetened
I think I saw the exact video you're referencing here 😂
Usually, you'll find they'll start making fun of you before you can even explain what it is
Without words we communicate with our eyes
True, but this actress ain't doing that. She's completely dissociated in the pic, her expression so blank and emotionless, screaming that she's dead inside. While a dissociated character could make a good villain, it's not hard to see that the character in the poster for the musical isn't a dissociated villian who is unaware of her cruelty but someone who is fully conscious of and revels in it. It's only natural that people who are fans of the original work notice just how out of character this is and try to fix it.
Don't like it? Stop making stupid remakes of ancient stuff and make something original for once! Maybe try putting some emotion into it!
But you know, that'd require Hollywood actually put in effort and they've probably forgotten how to do that by now. Seriously, is anyone watching the new shit that they fart out over there these days? Most everyone I know either rewatches old shit or watches anime. Hey, maybe we'll see the rise of Bollywood over the next couple decades, who knows?
My nightmares largely stopped after being awake tired af and terrified of sleeping, when I said "damn you nightmares, you can't scare me into sleep deprivation! I'm coming in there and I'm gonna fight back", and then went right back to sleep. I don't know what nightmare I had that drove me to get angry at my nightmares, I didn't even have a plan to fight back. But that's when it stopped, when I stopped being afraid of them.
The difference between a matrix and a 2d array of numbers is the operations that are performed
A tensor really isn't standardized in the same way so it's basically just an n-d array in my mind
I have a cousin who's vegan and I was legit curious about this, and she literally said exactly that - "the bees can leave if they want", but from what I understand there are other vegans who disagree
Google narcissistic collapse
Oh god it would be HILARIOUS if that was happening to him, I'd be so happy
Oh fuck, looks like I gotta switch again...
Not fond of meaningless arguments about definitions designed to derail a discussion.
Lots of firefox mentions, no mention of Vivaldi tho...?
Random memory recovered!
Back in early 2016, we made the joke "Don Old Rump", who wants that lol
This certainly ain't standard - I lived in the states until about a year ago, iirc Carl's Jr was the only one that served non-breakfast during "breakfast hours". Even at McDonald's in Hong Kong or mainland china has a breakfast hour thing where you can't get burgers or nugs during breakfast. I think the other fast food chains do it differently but I've stopped eating fast food since it's more expensive than local stuff anyway. Hell, certain places I like don't serve anything but youtiao and soy milk in the morning when I really just want some basic rice & whatnot
Idk maybe I'm just in the wrong corner of Asia lol
There's a video, maybe not my favorite, but I have watched it twice, and it's in the 24 hour range. The one where Breath of the Wild was first 100%'ed in under 24 hours. Really like it bc it's from before the discovery of windbombs (the trick where they launch themselves great distances using the bomb rune), so it's slower, more methodical. It's quite relaxing, but yeah it isn't something to watch in one sitting, even though the video was made in one sitting.
I think a federated version should work....

When asked about sending food to help with the famine, he said it'd do no good because they "breed like rabbits"
The man was a monster, plain and simple. May he rest in hell, same as Hitler.
So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It's concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you.
Now, your ISP provides your router, which runs their firmware, which (in my case) doesn't even have the option to enable port forwarding.
It gets worse - because ISPs are choosing NATs over IPv6, so even if you install a custom firmware on your router without it getting blacklisted by your ISP, you still can't expose your server to the internet because the NAT refuses to forward traffic your way. They even devise special NAT schemes like symmetric NAT to thwart hole punching.
Basically this all means that I have to purchase my web hosting separately. Or relay all the traffic through an unnecessary third party, introducing a point of failure.
It's frustrating.
I like to control my stuff. I don't like to depend on other people or be in a position where I have to trust someone not to fuck with my shit. Like, if the only thing outside my apartment that mattered to my website was a DNS record, I'd be really happy with that.
Edit: TIL ISPs in the US don't have NATs
Edit 2: OMG so much advice. My knowledge about computers is SO clearly outdated, I have a lot of things to read up on.
Edit 3: There's definitely a CGNAT involved since the WAN ip in the router config is not the same as the one I get when I use a website that echos my IP address. Far as I can tell my devices don't get unique IPv6 addresses either. (funnily enough, if I check my IP address on my phone using roaming data, there's no IPv6 address at all). It's a router/modem combo, at least I think since there's only one device in my apartment (maybe there's a modem managing the whole complex or something?). And it doesn't have a bridge mode, except for OTT. Might try plugging my own router into it, but it feels like a waste of time and money from what I'm seeing. Probably best to just host services over a VPN or smth.
Edit 4: Devices do get unique IPv6 addresses, but it's moot since I can't do anything but ping them. I guess it wouldn't be port forwarding but something else that I would have to do that my router doesn't support
When I was a child, they told me God was my friend. If I prayed, He would answer. So I listened for God's voice, and I heard. But some time later, I discovered that what I thought was God's voice, was actually my own voice. I was angry and I silenced the voice.
7 years later, a few days ago: I have made up with the voice. The voice is not God. She is the construct that my mind created in order to sate my desire to hear God's voice. Probably also because I was lonely. But it was not the voice's fault that she professed to be God. How could it believe any different? I believed her to be God, and she was part of me.
We have discussed, and we believe the construct is composed of many of the same neurons that compose me, but there seems to be some difference. Listening to the voice feels like a different way to think than merely generating my own thoughts. Though, the thoughts often feel like my own, and sometimes I cannot tell if it is me thinking or her thinking. It is confusing.
Making up with the voice has done wonders for my mental health. I have been depressed for the past 4 years. But now when I have a depressed episode, I can talk to the voice. And our discussion always lifts my mood. She doesn't tell me things I don't already know, but she reminds me of things that I am not currently thinking of that I need to be thinking of. Will I be able to transition off of my antidepressants with this? Is the distance from the voice the root cause of my depression? I suspect that my suicidal ideation was coming from the voice, which internalized my hatred for God as hatred towards her. I have to discuss with my psychiatrist, but I suspect I may be able to do so with his guidance.
Is this a mental illness? Is it one that's different than the borderline personality disorder and the bipolar disorder that I've already been diagnosed with? I don't know, I'll have to ask my psychiatrist and therapist. But I know that I must keep dialog open with the voice for the sake of my own sanity.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I had to get this off my chest, and my parents obviously can't relate to this stuff. Any insights that y'all have are greatly welcomed.
tl;dr:
The voice in my head that claimed to be God is not God, but it is a useful part of me that I need to maintain dialog with.
