This deserves its own post. Thanks for sharing! This part killed me..." "Some people just “don’t get the responsibility side of being libertarians,"...which is certainly one way of framing the problem."

I liked the article a lot and it made many great points. Especially about school lunch and public transportation allowing for a more active, therefore healthy, society. However, when I visited I noticed vegetables are not incredibly common, and those you find are not diverse. Dishes are rice heavy, and the vegetables are mostly varieties of cucumbers and seaweed. A friend of mine, who lived in Tokyo for a few years, confirmed my observation and mentioned it's thought to be a cause of persistent dental issues in Japan. Don't have a source or anything for that, but thought it might be interesting to mention. I think it greatly depends on where you live. In California, I have access to a huge variety of vegetables and many farmer's markets throughout the week I can attend. I imagine that i am an outlier though, and many areas have access to very few vegetable varieties. Food deserts are a very real thing and a very real problem. I'm mostly just musing, but I think I'm mentioning this because there is a trend in spaces like this to idolize Japan, and reality is much more nuanced than "Japan is perfect."

Nice read and very happy for Galante! He is clearly a fan of gaming who made something awesome for fans of gaming. It's not exactly a game I got addicted to (played maybe 10 or 15 hours total?) but it truly is such a refreshing treat. If you haven't tried it, give it a go. It's super nostalgic and super easy to pick up immediately. Mostly, I'm excited to see what other things Galante and his team can do! But as long as they are happy continuing to make Vampire Survivors as good as they can, I'm happy for them.

I say no to bots. I see the utility in some of them, but beehaw is only one instance, and I'd love to keep it an instance that I know is full of actual people. Makes me want to engage in conversation much more. Besides, if you want a bot filled experience you can engage in one of the instances that allow bots. If bots are allowed, I want them to be very clearly labeled. I want to know in one glance if I'm speaking to a bot.

What a delightful read. Glad to hear everybody involved had good humor!

Literally made some last night. Made some flat bread (flour, baking powder, yogurt, olive oil), browned the halloumi, smeared some store bought mango chutney and a dollop of yogurt on the bread, topped with the halloumi and fresh fresno chilis. So delicious. A riff off a Jamie Oliver recipe. Not the healthiest (apparently fiber is the enemy) but very filling and feels quite special for a quick easy meal!

HA! Your edit just floored me, I didn't even catch that. Lowest common denominator and all that jazz lol.

Read the article folks. This is very different from covid, and they had a similar outbreak in 2019. Sounds like it's something to do with their food sanitation practices?

What a true badass. I admire not only her conviction, but her persistence and brains to shut down these fanboys of war.

Myst. Surprised this wasn't mentioned yet.

This is a fun read, thanks for sharing. My partner and I are not big on kitchen gadgets. We don't own a microwave or instantpot or anything else like that. We do, however, have a crockpot. But it's true, I have friends who are not cooks at all that own the instantpot. And it sits dutifully on their counter never being used. I think the point is if you enjoy cooking you will cook. And if you don't enjoy it, no gadget will change that, no matter how great it works.

Going to see Tori Amos this weekend so I will be giddy all week. Saw her once before 18 years ago, so it's been a long time coming. Can't wait!!

As a massive Destiny fan, I was around for all of that as it happened. So so so glad to hear this is how it turned out. These kind of people need to be made examples of, and I hope he has a miserable time trying to recover.

Lots of voices saying the same thing I'm about to say, but I really want to pile on so you know many of us mean it...Please take care of yourselves mod team! You have created the best place on the internet, and deserve lots of time to rest and revel in your hard work.

I hope we as a community can do enough to make those bad actors feel like it is a waste of time to engage with us.

Gonna make a tomato and tarragon salad tonight. Looking to try some of Jamie Oliver's five ingredient recipes too, not sure which though.

This is absolutely horrifying to read about from so many angles. Perhaps most disgusting is the movie coming out. Props to the author for showing some insight and willingness to admit fault. So many people are seemingly unable to admit wrong doing.

It's a Devo album, my personal fav of theirs.

Make rest a major priority. Doing nothing is so important for mental health. I also prioritize alone time and taking walks. Thanks for everything you and the team do. Please rest. It's essential. Huge hugs!!!

Patience is the least we can offer for all you 4 have done to provide such a great space to be online. Welcome fellow newbies!
