Or fry it to oblivion. I constantly make this mistake when I order takeout, in my mind they just put tofu pieces into the sauce, but no, it’s always that soggy overfried tofu.

I’m pretty sure that’s what they used to do to be able/allowed to eat meat during lent
- Comment on That's just what happens. It's life. 3 days ago:
Fwiw, I lost about 4 kg of my average weight (That was about 7% of my body weight) when I stopped smoking. A couple of years down the road I also quit drinking which also decreased my average weight by another 4 kg.
(With average weight I take into consideration that I have natural, not dieting related fluctuations of about +/- 1 to 2 kg. The fluctuations are still there but the mean they deviate from is vastly different.)
Maybe I should add that I am still eating about five pounds of sugar a day and I haven’t done sports since 2012, so don’t assume that quitting smoking meant a healthier lifestyle (sadly).

It’s beyond heresy.
Well ok but this ONA has nothing to do with Christianity, they explicitly state it’s a militant Satanic left-hand path occultist network. I mean being Satanic kinda goes hand in hand with heresy.
As with many other occult organisations, the Order shrouds its history in “mystery and legend”, creating a “mythical narrative” for its origins and development. The ONA claims to be the descendant of pre-Christian pagan traditions which survived the Christianisation of Britain and were passed down from the Middle Ages onward in small groups or “temples”
- Comment on Unpopular opinion 6 days ago:
Feel free not to like him, but it seems very biased to assume a 17 year old cannot consent to sexual relations with a 23 year old, but a 18 year old totally can. In the Western world a big majority of people have their first sexual experiences in their teenage years. Naturally, age gaps happen.
On a further note, you might want to look up terms like ephebophilia, hebephilia and pedophilia before accusing people of being pedos. And neither does a victim need to be underage for a perpetrator to be molesting them, nor are child molesters necessarily pedophiles. The majority of child molesters has no pedophilic tendencies.

He is Swedish. The age of consent in Sweden is 15. So there is nothing to “admit” here except that he might have been quite successful in hitting on girls all along.
- Comment on Not to mom shame... 1 week ago:
I assumed she just didn’t want to argue with a toddler who desperately wanted her to wear that. I mean, pick your battles. Save the energy for a bigger one and wear a tinfoil hat. But the present thing would be much more wholesome

You know we all are so focused on him not being reelected in 2024 that we forget that if he won’t he’ll definitely find a way to run again in 2028 and we have all this hell all over again
- Comment on how are some people able to fall asleep anywheres? 1 month ago:
I also didn’t know how people did it. Then I had a baby and almost fell asleep in the shower once while standing. I’ve never been more tired in my life but man, these few months of just being able to fall asleep at meteoric speed anywhere anytime were incredible. It felt like a superpower from one of those pill memes. Now I am just tired all the time but I can’t fall asleep like that anymore.

Well they just are extra not allowed to commit crimes. Like way more than other people.

- Comment on That's Life 1 month ago:
That reminds me of the girl who was standing in line outside to register for her wedding date in St. Petersburg from 8 pm to 10 am the next morning without moving. It was mid January, day temperatures were at -22°C, and she wore nylon tights and no hat through all of that. I don’t even know how she stayed alive.
- Comment on Will I ever be seen as truly British? 1 month ago:
That’s how I handled my high school year abroad. Because I literally came from Germany, I replied to that question with “I am from Germany”. Not “I am German”, but “from Germany”. I was born and raised there and only lived there. Only if it came up (e.g. because of my passport) or made sense in context, I mentioned that I am a Russian from Germany. So basically most people only found out about my genetics five months in. But of course that works much easier when you pass due to looks and accent.
- Comment on Day one and done 1 month ago:
Thank you for the tip, but tbh I don’t want the big crust to be that crispy, then it is just a big dry piece of bread squeaking on my teeth. A soft crust I could kind of swallow but ugh just crust in itself is awful. Usually around here the crust is rather crispy to begin with. I just end up not eating it most of the time.
- Comment on Day one and done 1 month ago:
It really depends on what kind of crust you like. I hate crust and delivery always comes with huge crusts. Tk pizza has a thin, crispy crust, so I can eat it easily.
- Comment on Day one and done 1 month ago:
YES God yes. Sometimes I specifically crave frozen pizza and no delivery pizza or restaurant pizza would fulfill the desire. It can be the other way around, too, I might crave delivery or restaurant pizza. But mostly, if I want pizza, I want the frozen stuff. It’s good. It doesn’t overdo the cheese/fat or toppings, the size is better, it is more predictable, the crust is must better. There’s just something about frozen pizza. 9 out of 10 times I prefer it.

- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 2 months ago:
What I think is so unfair is that if I actually sit through one ad I don’t get rewarded and fast forwarded to the video, no. I’ll get a second ad that, if I am lucky, I can skip after 5 additional seconds. Or it’s an unskippable one. That’s not fair. I could have skipped the first one but I gave you that, I gave you that time of my life, now give me something back!
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 2 months ago:
I constantly see an ad by zeiss (which is a german company but they’re in california) and I don’t even know what they produce but I swear to God I’ll never get a Zeiss product. An acquaintance worked with them for a while and I have trouble taking him seriously now. (they’re pretty american in that way but they’re also very german)
I fucking hate zeiss after this ad.

- Comment on It's too warm! 2 months ago:
That’s exactly what it feels like when my toddler insists on sleeping on me and I am lucky enough to manage myself out of a dangerous position (which, e.g., would lead to suffocation) but not into one that would be anywhere near comfortable but I also cannot adjust more because they would wake up and rinse repeat the whole process.

I need to stop digging, my grave is already big enough to fit a walrus
- Comment on Germans: what genocide? 2 months ago:
Thank you, that is a very helpful insight!
crimes against humanity, grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions of 1949, attacks directed against civilian objects or civilians protected as such, or other war crimes as defined by international agreements
Why do we then seem to hear only about the genocide controversy? Wouldn’t it be easier/faster/more obvious to argue for all the other crimes mentioned above?
