It’s highly dependent how much cheese you put on it, really. Just the base and some (quality) toppings aren’t the problem, but if half of the content is cheese, that’s way too much fat and energy. Personally I don’t like cheese so I only sprinkle a minimal amount of it on top, but I’ve observed most people feel the total opposite and drenching the whole thing in cheese seems to be the preferred way to consume it…

But the thing is, if it turns out to be harmful, it’s too late if we have used it - we can’t get it out of nature anymore. Which is a fucking big risk to take considering the effects research has already proven with the other PFAS. That’s kinda the whole problem with persistent organic pollutants

Only if they are persistent organic pollutants as well

I think in the case of PFAS it’s very reasonable. There’s no real harm done in avoiding them except possibly making less money and having to figure out other ways to do certain things - which cannot even be compared to the the potential danger they pose to the whole ecosphere

PFAS is a chemical
PFAS is the term for the whole group of the stuffs called “forever chemicals” (for a reason). There’s not just a single one, but multiple, and as the specific ones and groups get banned, the industries move to use different ones, basically. It’s important to buy “PFAS free” stuff, any other labels like “PFOA free” can still mean there’s PFASs there, there’s just not ones from the specific variation

There’s always the old classic video of a finnish man cursing at a bear, which has a good example of how a proper perkele is said

I’m in Finland and swedish is our second official language. I’ve heard groups of fennoswede teenagers all speak swedish to each other, except they will throw in properly pronounced finnish curse words (like vittu and perkele). I guess they just are more powerful

If you want something calm, you could try houseplants. There’s all sorts of options from easy to difficult to keep, and it’s easy to end up filling your home with them, which is actually pretty beneficial unlike some other clutter

The Sims 2 is 100% the best of the series, yeah. At this point you can basically mod the game to look however you want, and mod it to play as you want, there’s insane amounts of mods and content available. There’s custom options for the UI, you can even get a fixed version for the launcher. I’ve been playing it for around 20 years now, and last I played “like you’re supposed to” was like 18 years ago lmao.

Yeah, what’s the endgame if you lie?! If you’re going to fuck, they’ll find out the truth anyway. And if you lied, they’ll pobably be less inclined to actually continue when they see you there, pantsless
- Comment on We'll be seeing an uptick in UFO sightings soon 3 weeks ago:
It was just too big for that. If it was, it’s not something that was commercially available here, but if someone had build something that size and flown it around, I couldn’t have been the only witness in all these years!
There’s one company I know that’s been building unmanned airships here, so I’ve thought could it have been one of those. But I think their test flights weren’t yet made in that year, and those are anyway too slow to disappear like that. And not things you’d fly at that place at that time either…
- Comment on We'll be seeing an uptick in UFO sightings soon 3 weeks ago:
I saw UFO a couple years ago, and I have no idea what the fuck did I actually see. I’m still so baffled I always want to share this story:
I was walking my dog way past midnight, and saw some lights move steadily, hovering over the nearby highway I was walking towards, and thought, ah, a helicopter, how weird for one to fly so low and close to the road. Only after it had moved out of my sight (there was forest both sides and the path I was on was going under the highway) I suddenly realized it couldn’t have been a helicopter; there was no sound and at that distance it would have been LOUD. I saw nothing when I got to a higher place where I could see the highway in both directions. There were no other people around or even cars driving by, since it was so late.
I checked all flights in the area for that night, since maybe I had seen something fly far away and mistook it to be closer? But I found nothing, no planes or helicopters had been in the air in couple hours at that time. It was way too big to be some commercial type of drone that were around then (about a small helicopter sized), and a military drone sounds just unlikely considering the time and place (Finland, no military bases or border anywhere close, and we weren’t in the NATO yet either). It couldn’t have been a truck or something since it was clearly floating and a bit too high for that, and from that position and distance I would have heard the road rumble under the tires too.
I don’t think I was hallucinating, since that vision was so clear and lasted long enough for me to look away a few times, and I don’t have a history of visual hallucinations or anything. Too bad I didn’t film it, but I really didn’t realize something was weird until it was too late!

It’s hard to find a good one that doesn’t have PFAS. And having one that has isn’t an option because it can easily kill my birds

- Comment on Punch Time 4 weeks ago:
At least the english ones are usually somewhat understandable; as a native finnish speaker, the machine translations to finnish are notoriously bad. The worst case has been some random anime from netflix, where I had to change the subtitles to bad machine translation english, because the finnish ones were just straight up complete gibberish and I could understand more of the japanese than those (and I don’t know japanese outside some words and common expressions!). Reading them felt like I was having a stroke lmao.
I have no idea why they’re even made in finnish because they’re very often just fully unusable.

1: unpleasant form
I thought the very opposite lmao! That 1 shape looks very appealing to me. Like eating with a more symmetrical seashell. Nice
- Comment on I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions) 4 weeks ago:
that may or may not be legal by the country’s employment laws
What’s your union situation? Can you join a local trade union for your profession, or does it require some more permanent citizenship-thing there? Maybe it’s unhelpful for this specific problem, but join one if you can. If there’s any issues with holidays, payment, etc., they’re the ones that can help you out - they know the laws. That’s invaluable especially when you aren’t exactly sure how the local stuff works

If any form of your shit regularly includes blood, also maybe consult your doctor. Might be just hemorrhoids, especially if it’s bright red blood, but even those can be treated.
- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 5 weeks ago:
Oh yeah no, I think I get it. I just thought I’d add one perspective to why weird names might be so appealing to transfolks even though it can cause more issues than calling yourself Jean or something

If you pick a name that is kinda weird… well it’s kinda weird.
As a transperson with a weird name; I picked mine because I have never fit in, and instead of causing a desire to fit in, it made angry (but that might be because I am autistic as well, who knows). Choosing an unique name was kind of a middle finger and a final stamp of refusing to conform, if that makes any sense. If I’m not accepted anyway then I sure as hell am going to do whatever the fuck I want with my name and identity

- Comment on 9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game 1 month ago:
a lot of gamers categorically refuse to buy a game in early access and wait for the 1.0 release for the “full experience”
I refuse to buy early access games just because if they sell enough, the devs won’t complete the game and it’ll be stuck in the “10 years in development” -phase

Yeah, I’m asexual yet I still look at people’s tits and asses. I don’t feel any attraction, I’m not really aesthetically pleased by seeing them nor will I get aroused, but you are socially conditioned to check others or it is very much biological (or both).

- Comment on xkcd #3126: Disclaimer 2 months ago:
They’re still garbage in finnish. Even if they manage to make grammatically correct sentences, it sounds like incredibly awkward word salad, often there isn’t even real meaning in the sentences. Non-human translations have struggled from the beginning and I’m not surprised even the LLMs aren’t doing that well.
Kuulostaa siis ihan paskalta ja on edelleen tosi helppoa tunnistaa. Ei akateemikot väännä sellaista tuubaa omin käsin, eikä kukaan normitason juntti taas kirjoita niin jäykästi. Tai ok varmaan oman elämänsä jarisarasvuot yrittää suoltaa samankuuloista tyhjää konsulttiroskaa, mutta olettaisin että ne on juuri sitä porukkaa jotka käyttää tekoälyä muutenkin

Yeah numbers are pretty hard to conceptualize unless you already know what they mean. The addition I would do is put the actual numbers there as well at the same time, so you could get a good reference with an example

- Comment on Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté? 2 months ago:
There’s also the stupid belief that being mean = intelligent, which kinda overlaps with this. I somewhat blame House MD for that; that show was popular around the time when the idea got normalized in media, and now it just keeps going and is repeated in multiple ways in movies, series… etc. Rick and Morty is another great example of what that type of portrayal can cause, it’s done terrible damage in making it’s target audience associate meanness and assholery with being intelligent.
You can be both kind and intelligent, these qualities are not linked in real life, just like being naïve and kind are not. This means that being mean doesn’t make anyone look any smarter; it just makes you look like a mean asshole. This also seems to escape a lot of people and worsen the hateful shit both irl and online
