Ew, are you talking about those canned mixed veggies that had the little red pepper in them too? Like red bell pepper or something.

This probably takes about as much time as hamburger helper out of the box does. And yes, I know not everyone is going to have those ingredients on hand, but most people who keep their pantry stocked with the basics are going to have everything.

Probably a hipster.
- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 2 weeks ago:
If the car is still drivable, there are work arounds to still being able to drive a totaled car. When the insurance totals a vehicle, it just means that the repairs are more expensive than the value of the car. You may have to get a salvage title and assume ownership of the vehicle from the insurance. They’ll also still give you the money for the car. If the accident wasn’t your fault, also beware of the other persons insurance trying to settle with you. When I was in my 20s and young and dumb, I had that happen to me. The other persons insurance adjuster literally came to my apartment to negotiate a settlement with me and I took it because I was broke.
- Comment on What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific. 2 weeks ago:
I was trying to think of an answer and when I got to yours, I found myself remembering that time and that gaming high that game collectively gave everyone. And then they took away the step tracker, and while I still played daily until 2018, taking that away really took some gas out of the game. I don’t know what else to call it so hopefully you understand what I’m referring to. The thing that helped you find the pokemon and whether you were going in the right direction or not.
- Comment on Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World 2 weeks ago:
It’s absolutely exhausting knowing how much potential humans have to do great things, but having to watch humanity choose to destroy themselves instead.

- Comment on Taiwan refuses to move half of U.S.-bound chip production to American shores — trade discussion to be focused on Section 232 investigation for preferential deal on semiconductors 3 weeks ago:
If I remember correctly, but it’s been awhile since I read the discussion about Intel so I could be misremembering, the problem with Intel started when the C-Suite stopped being engineers that moved up in the company.
- Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains. 3 weeks ago:
I think that’s why I really like Invincible. I know it’s not live action superheroes, but I think it does a good job of showing how much destruction and devastation these superhero fights cause. I’m not big on Marvel or DC, but I do have a soft spot for Batman.
- Comment on Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say 4 weeks ago:
Yeah but you’d think someone would at least double check before they wrote a whole ass paragraph about why there aren’t Cracker Barrels in California when there are in fact Cracker Barrels in California lol

- Comment on Metal genres 1 month ago:
I think I’m “it’s all metal” because I don’t care to give thought to every subgenre of metal. If it sounds good, I like it. I have to laugh at the description though because I do really enjoy melodic death metal and I blame Avatar for that.

Damn, thanks for the write up! I had been on imgur since 2011, same time I joined reddit and only this year finally stopped using it. It seems to have rapidly gotten worse this year, now I know all the details.
- Comment on Don't you remember that whole lemmy loving beans thing? Too late, you do now. See this photo of beans. Actually a lot of beans. Some of them I am not fully sure if they are actually beans. B E A N S 2 months ago:
The more you toot, the better you feel. So let’s have beans for every meal!
- Comment on Help. 2 months ago:
Without hearing the actual conversation, I feel like maybe he was just having trouble describing his thoughts about it. I take it as “disappearing into cyberspace” to mean someone becoming addicted to VR that they don’t want to leave whatever virtual reality they’re in. And possibly using it so much that the lines between reality and virtual reality become blurred. Or the guy really just thinks people get sucked into cyberspace, I really don’t know with people anymore.

You might want to check if they’ve recalled it, I believe I saw an article today that said Google was recalling the pixel 6a because of this.

- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 4 months ago:
I have one for my pixel 7. I also put a small square of electrical tape over my front camera. I know I sound paranoid, but I just don’t like a camera staring at me while I’m looking at my phone. I also rarely take selfies so a front camera is pretty much pointless for me.
