I was gonna say this. I’ve been listening to Creole music all morning as “research” for my next writing project.
Made me think about the volume of information we take in about other cultures through stories, art, music and food without ever opening a history book.

The consideration is the exclusive romantic relationship. They wouldn’t have given him gifts if they didn’t believe they were in a relationship.

Interesting, I’ve heard that was a wheat allergy, if you react to flours in general. Since gluten is present in wheat flour, but a wheat allergy may include other grains that don’t contain gluten.
Regardless, I’d find it so difficult it wouldn’t be doable to cater to that allergy in a restaurant or store that serves wheat products. There are gluten free production kitchens out there, but they might use other flours that share proteins with wheat, that could trigger an allergic reaction. So yeah, sounds tough as hell.
To answer your question, to cater to all allergies, we could introduce regulations around opening packaged foods in places that -only- sell packaged products, and I would support it.
People just shouldn’t be eating shit with their hands and touching stuff at the same time anyway, I’m more likely to admonish someone for that.

Correct me if I’m missing information, but I was the head chef at a restaurant that did gluten free stuff years before it became a common menu option. Additionally, I lived with a celiac for a few years. Admittedly, I’ve been out of the industry for a long time.
As far as I knw, gluten allergies are only related to injestion, if people can have fatal responses to airborne particles, that was never a part of our food safety protocols. With celiacs, which behaves a bit differently from an allergy - they can have an extremely painful response to even small amounts of gluten, but it has to be injested. I mean, I baked bread with my roommate and he’d be fine, but he would have a reaction if he accidentally used my butter after I cut it with the same knife I used for bread.

I used to think leashes should be optional until I had a dog who was perfect off-leash. I could be anywhere from a wooded path to a crowded sidewalk and that dog would be right beside me, but I only ever took her on hikes or through calm neighborhoods. Plenty of people knew my dog was friendly and would stop to pet her when I was out.
My boyfriend at the time had her just as long as I did, but couldn’t control her off-leash as well as me. He tried anyway. He walked her next to a highway, she got overwhelmed, went chasing someone across the street, through traffic. Both him and the dog almost got fucked up on the highway when he tried to get her under control.
After that I only let her off leash in places where it was safe and allowed because she’s a dog and it just takes one bad moment to get her or someone else killed.
Beyond that personal anecdote, if you look at pet insurance claims statistics there are hell of a lot of accidents and attacks that start with “Dog was off-leash.”

Most people who have sexist or racist opinions don’t know their behavior is sexist or racist, most of it is conditioned socially.
So maybe the perfume analogy is good?
A person might not be aware is harmful, but there’s information about it, they just don’t seek it out. Maybe someone tried to explain their perfume is overwhelming, making it difficult for a small group of people to concentrate, but they’ve ignored them. When they see groups trying to get their perfume banned from public places they think those people are overreacting because they like the perfume. The perfume clearly isn’t hurting anyone because anyone who would be affected by it has left their workplace, or decided not to say anything because they keep getting ignored, and management thinks they complain too much, and they can’t lose their jobs. Socially, anyone who doesn’t like the perfume already avoids them. The perfume can’t be that big of a deal.

Generous man, with two extra pumps. I dated a Mormon and got no pumps until I swapped his anti-seizure meds with caffeine pills.
- Comment on How do I start a crypto wallet 5 weeks ago:
Yeah no worries. Didn’t mean to sound defensive. Making sure people know that pumping a coin isn’t the same as a pump and dump, and yeah, anyone getting into crypto should definitely know about all the rug-pulls.
- Comment on How do I start a crypto wallet 5 weeks ago:
Didn’t call it a Pump and Dump for a reason.
I knew the people involved and it looked like they were legitimately trying to develop a product. It was 50/50 pump scheme/real project, since they never did a rug pull. They were honest with themselves about most investors not a shit about their project, who going to sell high anyway.
- Comment on How do I start a crypto wallet 5 weeks ago:
I say this as someone who’s been involved in cryptocurrency, in some way, for almost a decade: Do not look at it as a source of income. That’s my warning.
Most the money I’ve made ofd crypto was by accepting it as a source of payment for freelance work, and selling when the price went up. I’ve made only one lucrative investment on a token and it’s because the developer team was a friend of a friend, I only spent the money I could easily afford and pulled out early, once it tripled. Don’t fall for FOMO, even if you could have made more money.
If you go forward, stick with media put out by the major, legitimate exchanges. They have a lot of information on how to get started.
Stay away from crypto-bro hype schemes, do not buy/trade anything from any project/company that isn’t legitimate, with a strong social media presence and a community.
However, you can make good money off pump schemes if you’re in their communities and keeping and close watch on what they’re doing.
Sign up for airdrops of new tokens and coins, shit you can get for free just by joining/signing up for something. A lot of times it’s trash you’ll never get rid of, sometimes it’s free money.
I’ve been using metamask as a wallet for years, it’s one of the most accessible platforms and has a lot of information and support on how to use it.
For the love of god do not look to NFTs as an investment.
Never, ever, spend money you can’t afford to lose.

Steve’s still just as fit as ever, he even offered his truck so I didn’t have to pay movers. My kid likes to play with Clara’s on weekends, while she tells me the funniest stories about customers. She’s seeing someone new she’s pretty excited about. We’re all in a band and we practice in my garage on weekends, I don’t mind hosting. I’d rather fill that space with old friends than bitter memories.

- Comment on Rule 34 rule 1 month ago:
Wait, you don’t imagine elaborate narratives where, say, Adrien Brody’s car breaks down in a stretch in the wilderness with nothing but your cabin for miles. So he walks toward the only structure and I’m there studying mosses and it’s so remote I have a sat phone I let him use to call for help, but it’ll be a while so I make him some tea and we get to talking. Night falls before help comes so I light a fire in the pit and let him borrow a sweater I stole from an ex and pull out a bottle of whiskey I was saving for something special but it’s special enough. It keeps us chatting untill the early hours when a tow truck finally shows and I see him off. When I get home from my studies I find a package waiting for me—it’s the sweater he borrowed, a thank you card, and a bottle of fine whiskey?
(I’m uncomfortable sexually fantasizing about real people.)

- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 1 month ago:
That’s my point. We don’t allocate energy resources based on importance, and when this argument is brought up there’s no scale for comparison when someone says AI, specifically, is destroying the planet.
- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 1 month ago:
Do we know how energy usage of AI compares to other daily tasks?
Like: rendering a minute of a fully animated film, flying from L.A. to New York, watching a whole series on Netflix, scrolling this site for an hour, or manufacturing a bottle of tylenol?
How does asking AI “2+2” compare to generating a three second animation in 1080p? There has to be a wide gamut of energy use per task.
And then the impact would depend on where your energy comes from. Which is a whole other thing, we should be demanding cleaner, more efficient energy sources.
A quick search on energy consumption by AI brings up a list of articles repeating the mantra that it’s substantial, but sources are vague or non-existent. None provide details to be able to confidently answer any of the above questions.
That’s not to say AI doesn’t consume significant power, it’s saying most people don’t regulate their lives by energy consumption.
