  That’s post Colombian exchange, doesn’t count 🤪

  Thanks for bringing scientific explanations to a joke about a lack of artisanal subtlety in a cuisine. The original statement was about over reliance on easily delicious things instead of vision and ingenuity. Not sure how differentiating between starches and fibers suddenly adds innovative herb combinations and laborious cooking techniques.

  If you hate garlic, you might want to check one of the few non carb/fat ingredients in their food: garlic.

  couple more examples for you that aren’t just about how complex the word is :

  Stutterers : good luck saying this word while you stutter.

  Dyslexia : good luck spelling this word.

  Lisp : yeah, that S is never going to hit the mark.

  Compared to other cuisines, Italian is trash tier; not because it’s not delicious, but because it just relies on cheese, fat, meat and carbs.

  “Oh wow, this pasta sauce is so good” yea, it’s made of cream, cheese and bacon, how was it going to taste, healthy?

  Compare that to french cuisine where they put a bird inside the bladder of a livestock animal with wine and a billion native herbs, and steam it in that for 40 hours, where you actually have to have skill to make a culinary tradition.

  Although Joël Robuchon can fuck off with his 50% butter 50% potato mashed patatos. No shit it tastes better than at home you prick, you might as well just put butter on a plate.

  What’s further north, Norway?

  B’elana was mostly just angry.

  I don’t remember shit about B’elana , or much of Voyager characterisation except :

  • Janeway : Hardass
  • Doctor : fun guy
  • Tuvok : generic serious vulcan
  • Neelix : obvious comic relief, silly
  • Chakotay : Native american guy with a cool face tat

  B’elana being mostly angry makes sense as a Klingon and an engineer. each facet isn’t known for being sunshine on rainbows, combined, not exactly going to be a delight.

  Would you rather your teenage son :

  • Break his fucking head intruding on some poor adult woman’s privacy to see a naked woman
  • See hardcore violent BDSM from questionable sources as his example of what sex is meant to be like
  • Access tame softcore porn or naked ladies to fulfill his natural curioscity/blossoming adolescence
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s praying on the tech illiteracy of idiots. There are several pieces of software that can be used to locally censor the internet for minors, and they’re very affordable, and I bet free versions (open source?) probably also exist.

  When I was a wee lad, there were “internet safety guides” being shown to kids and parents including :

  • Don’t post personal information online
  • Do not use your real name on the internet
  • Do not give images of your ID to anyone online

  But then, facebook asked for people’s fucking IDs and real names, and people just fucking forked it over. GOOD JOB DICKHEADS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do we have to protect children from porn if they’ve already gotten exposed to it?

  … did you know that in maternity wards, more children are born every year?

  I hate what is fucking going on, but you know, logic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨leading ai company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why there are a bunch of improvished people adding nonsense updates to git repositories, padding out their resume out of desperation.

  It’s hard to blame them trying to climb their way out of poverty, but it does harm the people trying to do work.

  Really the best part of this comic is that the robot has sentience and has arms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are paying to use "AI", who are you paying and what are your regular usecases?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Paying

  nothing

  Uses:

  When I have a stupid, detailed idea I put it into my local stable diffusion.

  I try to use Claude for simple tasks and “I can’t quite find this solution”, it is often wrong or needs re work, but it feels like reaching out to a colleague for my personal projects.

  I use the Google meet assistant when I stopped paying attention and the topic is staring to feel relevant.

  I use the ai search summary to do further searches with refined search terms.

  I listen to AI generated music from time to time; but I was doing it before the LLM craze went nuts, with dadabots’ covers of krallice and meshuggah

  That movie is set way in the future and the baby looks like both of the mothers.

  Sperm banks stock from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and etc to enable this; sometimes they use donor material from siblings on the non … Directy involved partner for the same reason

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally found where they store all the excess⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the familiar receptive from when I tried to donate sperm.

  They said I was a cancer risk though 😣 I hope they disposed of it properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't Star Trek use TrekLit for streaming shows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Directors, actors and art directors seem to be very happy to tread the ground of adaptations.

  very fair point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't Star Trek use TrekLit for streaming shows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The art directors, actors, writers directors want to tread new ground and tell stories they want to tell, and to show their vision of progress…

  Also, they want to keep going with the bullshit pegasus/pale moonlight/section 31/darker and edgier version of the optimisitic utopian tv show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The least problematic early black metal band⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  1. My name is Skullgrid, I think behold is more obscure and less accessible than Dysrhythmia

  2. It’s implicit based on the context that I am saying that Krallice is a Hipster NY Black Metal band, and Dysrhythmia is not one (despite all the double picking on Psychic Maps)
