Is the law he broke stupid? Yes. Is he stupid for breaking the law on stage? Yes.

What do you think about adults that are still virgin (never had sex) do you see them as losers? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Precisely this. Not to mention your premise about reproducing fails when placed in front of a large majority of the queer community. Childless gay man here, by choice. I am extremely pleased, some may even say fulfilled, with my choice to not reproduce.

Im the sole IT guy at a non profit. I could probably have a movie playing, but if power shell is open I'm covered. It's hilarious and glorious.

In Denmark Buldak Instant ramen has been recalled for being too spicy (www.beehaw.org)

Simple question: Are you a nice person? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] newtraditionalists@beehaw.org 3 points 5 months ago

I can be, but am not always. I actually find niceness to be a highly overvalued character trait. Some of the most back stabbing, manipulative, wishy washy, fake people I have ever known were incredibly nice. In fact, they used their niceness as a shield and mask for their awful character traits. Took a long time to realize that niceness is not so important. Far more important are loyalty, reliability, willingness to admit fault, willingness to listen, and so on. Niceness is just basic human civility. I don't care how nice you are if you are a manipulative and fake.

Perfect Dark introduced bots and a host of other customizable options that Golden Eye did not have. Golden Eye created the framework, and Perfect Dark improved on it in every possible way.

Perfect Dark revolutionized the multi-player experience, and had an equally awesome campaign. The 360 game was good, but nothing amazing. Really hoping this turns out to be amazing. I have faith that it will!

Will microplastics in our testicles be an issue? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] newtraditionalists@beehaw.org 2 points 5 months ago

I saw it articulated as "the greenest thing anyone can do is not have kids." Pretty cynical, but also true. Unfortunately, there tends to be a lot of overlap between truth and cynicism.

What is it about the text messages and emails sent by older people that make me feel like I'm having a stroke? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] newtraditionalists@beehaw.org 15 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It's about as annoying as young people abandoning any and all punctuation entirely. The amount of people that will write an entire paragraph and not use a single period is obscene. If you can't bother to organize your thoughts in the most minimal way, I'm going to assume you have nothing of worth to say and just won't read it. And frankly, if what you're saying is so boiler plate you don't need punctuation, then you really don't have anything to add, so probably just shouldn't.

What are you cooking up for Memorial Day? (www.beehaw.org)
 

Another food based holiday is around the corner, what are your plans? Any interesting departures? Anybody got family traditional foods they eat?

I'll be doing an Artichoke Fondue Dip as a snack for earlier in the day. For the main meal, definitely this Mustrad Cucumber Salad by Amy Thielan that I adore as a side, but not totally certain what else. I may end up just doing hot dogs since they are so easy and always tasty. But I am also looking for inspiration.

I'll have whatever he's having in c/aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz

Let's talk Thanksgiving! (www.beehaw.org)
 

One of the biggest food holidays is just around the corner. Let's chat about it!

What does your spread include? Any cool family favorite dishes? Any interesting spins on an old favorite you want to share? Trying anything new this time? I especially love hearing about the quirks of each families traditional spread.

For me, something interesting I am going to include on the table this year is Charleston Red Rice. I was looking for an interesting and unexpected side that didn't stray too far from the flavor profile of a traditional meal. Also, wanted to include a grain based dish as my family never does lol. And it's a dish I know for certain a few people attending will love. Also, a funny thing about my thanksgiving history...I didn't have green bean casserole until I was in my mid-20s. No one in my family liked it, so it was never included lol.

So what's going on with you and your Thanksgiving feast this year?

Give me your favorite Halloween meals! (beehaw.org)
 

So I know Halloween isn't a day with a huge meal tradition like xmas or tday, but I'm having some dear friends stay with me that weekend and I would love to cook up something Halloweeny. So I'm curious, do any of you have any go-to meals/dishes for Halloween? No real requirements here, it can be outright spooky/gross or just autumn themed, and anything in between. Looking mostly for savory ideas, as the treats will be flowing already. I did the pinterest thing but love sourcing from communities like this. Thanks in advance for any thoughts/ideas!!

Favorite uses for cucumbers (beehaw.org)
 

Just inherited a bunch of cucumbers from a friend's garden. I love them just on their own with some salt, and have made many a salad using them. I'm curious what kinds of fun things you all may use them for. Even if you feel like it's basic please share as I will be eating cucumbers for the next several days straight lol. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

The ingredient that changed your life (www.beehaw.org)
 

Tell me about that one ingredient, that when discovered, it opened your mind to a whole new world of flavor possibilities!

For me, the first to come to mind is Worcestershire sauce. I'm talking about way back in my youth. It was my first introduction to what we now call umami. When I noticed my mom put it in her meatloaf I began experimenting. At the time I was just blown away by how much it changed things. I even used to put it in my Top Ramen I was so obsessed lol. More recently, dukkah. Trader Joe's is correct when they say to take bread, dip it in olive oil, and then dukkah. So tasty!!

What about you?

What are your favorite "it's Sunday and I have no plans" recipes? (beehaw.org)
 

I love to take an open Sunday and fill it with cooking. Anybody else? Got any fav all day dishes?

I recently got into making pastys but my waist line is asking me to stop lol. But I do enjoy the time to make the filling, making the crust, letting it rest, making the pies, and baking off. Such a delicious result too. And they freeze wonderfully! Anyone looking for a recipe I would recommend Amy Thielan's. She is so fantastic and her rutabaga pastys are delicious and kind of unusual too.

Anybody got any dishes to share?

For Americans celebrating, what do you plan to make for 4th of July? (beehaw.org)
 

We will definitely have burgers and hot dogs, probably potato salad, but I like to try a new dish or two on holidays. Gives me a good reason to go all out.

So what are you making? Are you keeping it totally traditional? Do you have a family fav that shows up at these events? Any out of the box suggestions or twists on an old favorite?

What are your favorite no-cook/low-cook recipes for summer? (beehaw.org)
 

I'm looking for your best meals that require little to no cooking for days when turning on any kind of heat source sounds miserable.

Ina Garten has a Brussel Sprout Slaw and Turkey sandwich. It's so simple and tastes so much better than it sounds. Plus, it is easy to change it up with additions. I also think of gazpacho, but adding some chickpeas or other beans to make it extra filling. Adding feta is delicious too.

What do you all do to eat well when it is sweltering outside?
