No, and yes I agree with you

Open up a family owned restaurant already, stop teasing us!

(And for anyone else reading this: go check out this guy's profile!)

This is the thing... Adding insult to injury, the outcome of this is going to be (if it plays in Disney's favor) a paid model in which generating characters resembling Disney's will cost extra. So they will steal and profit

Carbon Based Lifeforms. I haven't, I doubt I ever will since crowds ruin music for me.

We need a tv show based on this if there isn't one already

Data labeler in a cage? You sure that's a paid job?

That's aggressively anxiety inducing more than surprising

I remember this teacher in particular who was explaining something and said "dissipate". He paused and picked me out of the group, for no apparent reason, and asked if I knew what dissipate meant. I said yes. So he asked me to explain, which I did, and he looked surprised and said something like "you're on fire" or similar and carried on.

That particular example stuck with me because of his condescending tone and for pointing the spotlight to me gratuitously, but I've had many, less memorable ones. It's not the words that I remember after a while, but that they presume I don't understand the meaning of a word apparently unusual for them. "Melancholy" and "quotidian" come to mind too.

On the same vein, I also surprise English speakers when reading, writing and understanding scientific names. Not all of course, but many are descriptive of the creature they refer to if you know a latin language. What's often a mouthful of nonsense for native English speakers can sometimes be meaningful to me.

Fair fair. Yeah I'm not a fan of soggy lettuce, I can tolerate it now but as a kid I was adamant on not having it as part of my toastie or, even better, add it after toasting.

No

I use one from Fdroid. The appl-ess alternative would have been to add colored days to my Google Calendar, but I already have too much shit there and I don't need more clutter. In particular I don't want Google having more of my data.

I also don't want my cycles exposed if I'm showing my calendar in person to someone.

Periodical, the app I chose, lets me enter the dates, the intensity, it forecasts my upcoming two cycles, and keeps a log of all my previous cycles in text format that is very easy to read. It's super useful when going to the doctor; instead of "uhhh, I think I've been regular the past six months or so" I can just pull out a list of dates and if I'm really looking for details I have a log of symptoms too.

I don't game frequently, and when I do it's game on the left. My right screen is a drawing cintiq and has lower resolution, plus is at an angle.

Oh no cucumbers have a very short shelf life if you spent a month eating cucumbers from the same batch they were probably going off by the end.

Will try those sauteed sprouts, sounds good

I'm 100% with you on the watermelon. Strawberry, I like good quality strawberry preserves and jams.

Do potatoes also go in your blacklist? Most veg rejectors I've known seem to be okay with that

I can understand and I'm usually like you, not liking the sweet and salty mix. But Hawaiian pizza is not for me

I don't think I've ever tried it, will keep in mind

Ahhh tomatoes yes forgot about these. I love them in all forms except sun dried. Interesting that your issue is with cherry tomatoes only, can you eat regular tomatoes raw?

Similarly I also prefer cabbage raw, but it's just a preference.
