Hard no. Extremely hard no. This is the kind of crap our parents would make and serve.
For anyone with taste buds, let’s be abundantly clear on something: steaming vegetables is perhaps the WORST way to cook them.
Unless you are eating them raw, or using them as an ingredient in a larger dish, almost all vegetables should be roasted/grilled to bring out and caramelize their natural sugars. Steaming them leaves you with unflavorful mush. Like you’re cooking the soul out of them and leaving only a sad memory of what they could have been.

- Comment on How was your valentines day weekend? 1 week ago:
Maybe recognize that your partner doesn’t ascribe as much meaning to arbitrary dates and that silently expecting them to do something is a toxic mentality. I hope you realize you’re not teaching them any sort of lesson, you are intentionally setting yourself up to be disappointed/upset at your partner for not following the rules of a game they didn’t know you were playing.
Especially these days. Don’t you think it’s possible they have other things on their mind? I know I do. Between trying to figure out how to pay bills, figuring out how to save a little so we can retire some day, thinking about how stressful my job is, thinking about all the chores that need to be done, worrying about the health of myself and my family, worrying about car/home repairs, keeping insurance/registrations/enrollments/appointments/documents all up to date, and the endless struggle of what we’re having for dinner tonight; there’s just not a whole lot of mental space left for reading my partner’s mind and fulfilling their uncommunicative expectations.
You say this has been happening for years. Ever think that it’s just not something that’s going to change? That you’re expecting a fish to climb a tree unprompted and then getting upset with the fish when it doesn’t?
Grow the fuck up. Be a partner to your partner. How hard is it to say “Hey, I’d like to feel special on Valentine’s Day. It’s important to me.”?

No, they used Telegram because they’re idiots and don’t understand privacy.

30 years of watching progressive movements flounder and civil action lead to absolutely zero substantial changes has given me a defeatist attitude. What good is getting mad? It’s not like it will change anything.
- Comment on Kamiya Critiques Wii Version of Okami | Retro Gaming News 24/7 2 weeks ago:
As nice as it was to make the brush strokes with the wiimote, there were some glaring gameplay issues with the Wii version. The biggest was definitely basic attacks. You attacked by jiggling the wiimote, but the damn thing was so finicky that only 1 of the 3 weapon types could be used reliably. The recognition of brush strokes was also extremely difficult. You couldn’t do slow strokes, and it was really bad at recognizing complex patterns. It wasn’t so much a problem when just doing simple strokes in the early game, but some of the more advanced ones were downright impossible.

Cuz even if I’m semi-conscious, I’m still in my warm cocoon of heavy blankets where there are no problems and no people to bother me. There are some mornings I would give up nearly anything for just 5 more minutes.
- Comment on Nintendo patent explains Switch 2 Joy-Cons’ “mouse operation” mode 3 weeks ago:
It makes me sad that so few games utilized the potential of the WiiU gamepad. There was this game called Zombie U that managed to really show how incredible it could be. There was a mode where players would be in a zombie wave survival arena except 1 player would instead be controlling the spawns via a map on the gamepad. They could see where the other players were, where the weak spots were, and had their own progression tree to unlock better zombies.
- Comment on [Axis do not start at 0] - Monthly active users on Lemmy above 46k for the first time since as least October 2024 3 weeks ago:
You don’t have to have a feeling. The data is right there.
Looks like it was 43k active users at the lowest and 46k active users at the highest. That’s almost a whole 7%. So if that’s your definition of a “lot more activity” then sure!

Hard pass. I don’t need a movie of the Star Trek series so bad that many fans, myself included, refuse to acknowledge it as canon.

It’s one of the things that turned me off from Elden Ring. The text is just so damn small. It’s not a problem on a monitor, but trying to play on a TV while relaxing on the couch? Constant squinting.

- Comment on just three women have died and 50783 babies have been saved by Texas' abortion law. A damn good trade if you ask me. 2 months ago:
Where are you getting that 50k number from? Is it based on the number of abortions performed in 2021? You don’t, perhaps, think that women might be getting abortions out of state, or relying on better birth control methods, or are resorting to smuggling in Plan B? You think it’s really a 1-to-1?

As humans, our eyes contain 3 different types of cones (red, blue, and green). With these we can see around 1 million different colors.
But Mantis Shrimp have 16 different types of cones in their eyes! And with those 16 cones they can see a whopping… 16 colors.
While our brains allow us to mix and match the different bands of light our eyes detect in order to “see” a wide variety of colors, Mantis Shrimp lack that ability. What they detect is what they get, there’s no neural post processing, or at least not any that allow the perception of mixed colors.

The only truly new method of power generation we’ve made in the last 100 years has been photovoltaic cells. Everything else is just finding new ways to make turbines spin.

Because self-censorship is done to avoid getting filtered or demonetized on certain platforms due to policies put in place by those platforms to attract advertisers. It is not done because of the person’s moral or ethical beliefs. It’s basically willing compliance with internet enshittification to whitewash everything and make it advertiser friendly.

You can create a sentence with an infinite number of “police”

Sadly I think there are people out there like this
The only sad thing is how much brain rot people like you have gotten from the internet to believe shit like this exists anywhere in reality. You’ve built up examples in your head of awful people doing awful things, except all those examples are fake bullshit like this.

So glad I got a 12900. Apparently they beefed up the reliability of the 12th Gen since it was the first gen with the new framework, but crapped out on the subsequent gens. Looking like it’s going to be the best CPU for quite some time.

If you go to a museum and see an impressive skeleton of a dinosaur, you’re not actually looking at dinosaur bones. And no, I don’t mean because they’ve calcified and become “rock”. I mean the real bones are in a drawer somewhere, if they even exist. What you’re looking at is plaster, often with many of the pieces wholly created from scratch in order to produce a full skeleton.

Who’s claiming Atlanteans were white?
- Comment on We lost Keanu 5 months ago:
Ok but that’s the thing I’m trying to get at. 15k years ago there was no such thing as Europeans. There weren’t Africans or Asians or Indians. Thats so far back that there are zero ties to modern races. It’s meaningless to try and connect them. It cant belittle one group of people while praising the intellect of another because human migration has made any resemblance to modern humanity from that far back a moot point. Any races from that long ago no longer exist.

- Comment on We lost Keanu 5 months ago:
I don’t get the racism argument. Claiming there was an ancient civilization existed that taught early civilizations isn’t racist. That an ient race doesn’t exist anymore. The early civilizations they claim to have taught don’t exist anymore. Modern day Egyptians have as much to do with ancient Egyptians as they do with modern Polynesians. At a certain point, we have to recognize that we’re talking about so long ago that race is out of the equation.
Like, don’t get me wrong, his claims aren’t scientific and he definitely seems like someone with a theory in search of facts. But I seriously do not get the racism claim. It doesn’t belittle modern societies because no modern society can really claim ownership of shit that happened over 10,000 years ago. It’s insane to think otherwise.
