The expectation that dads love their infant children at first sight is unrealistic and leads to feelings of isolation and failure in new fathers.

Critique and analysis of a study or experiment is the default. It isn't a religion; science thrives on repeat analysis.

Understand that most meals requiring this kind of etiquette tend to not have finger foods on the same plate as loose veggies or rice. So you're talking about a really niche thing.
I was taught that, other than bread, no food should be held in the hand while eating other food, and bread should only be used in that way with specific dishes, not as a general thing.
So, first option should be another utensil. That's what they're there for. It's unusual that you would have only one.
If that isn't present, then you would use another piece of food. You would ideally use a dry food, like toast or bread, but a breaded piece of meat served as a finger food would be acceptable if the dish is served without other utensils. It would be weird, but not unheard of.
However, you shouldn't finger the food at all. If the food isn't a finger food itself, and you've been provided a utensil, you would normally expect to just leave what can't be scooped up with said utensil.
All of that said, the best etiquette advice possible is: when in doubt, slow down and watch your host. There's really no situation outside in common etiquette where eating slowly is a bad thing. And, doing as one's host is doing is equally universally acceptable. So chew well, placing your utensils down on the plate and engage with the other people. Dinner parties of any significant scope are not about eating as the primary goal. The dinner is the setting for social interactions. So, unless the host or most of the table are just shoveling it in, you have time to estimate the accepted behavior. And, if they're shoveling it in, there's your answer.
Aight, just a bit of background first.
Back in that era, there was a hip-hop subgenre called miami bass. There was an offshoot of that called booty bass. The difference is largely in the degree of rap over the beats, and the nature of the beats. This only matters because Miami at that time was pumping out some serious club bangers. Shit you could really dance to, but would also rattle windows blocks away when played loud.
Da dip was booty bass and a dance song. Like the twist, the macarena, the watusi, the tootsie roll, and other dance fads, the songs were meant to be danced to by the very dance the song was about.
Da dip is basically a modified grind. I put my hand upon your hip (literally), then I dip, you dip, we dip. Dipping in this context is better shown than described.
It's a dance simple enough even drunks, and white kids, can do it; but it's able to be elaborated on by more advanced dancers. Taken to an extreme, it runs fairly close to dirty dancing ala the movie of the same name. It's all hips and grinding of groins. In it's simplest version, it's a couples oriented version of a line dance.
And yes, you would indeed see people doing da dip. Not as popular as just straight up grinding on someone, but it definitely showed up when the song played, and when similar booty bass tracks would. It required less coordination than the tootsie roll or the butterfly for sure, so it saw a short degree of popularity.
You pluck the hair. That's it.
If the hair was still in place after whatever injury caused the scab, then you pluck it, and the root comes out, it means the follicle was intact.
That in turn means that, assuming the motion doesn't remove pieces of the scab, that it's just like plucking any other hair.
That's not uncommon at the edges of scabs. People will pull away a scab, and the hair gets pulled out because it was partially buried in the scab. But you'll also see hairs poking through scabs at times.
That's it. Hair comes out, end of story.
Not too bad.
But I was fucking around while trying to learn to ride a bike. Went too fast, hit a bump on a dirt road. Went over the handlebars, slid face first a few feet into a ditch.
Now, like I said, I wasn't badly injured. It was all just scrapes and bruises. But they were deep scrapes from my forehead all the way down one side of my face, then my chest and belly, plus along the inner side of my right arm from trying to stop myself.
Every scrape was filled with dirt and gravel, which had to be picked out. Then it all needed flushing out. So by the time it was all done I was high from endorphins and crying and screaming, looked like a shredder had beaten the shit out of me, and was both throbbing and burning along the entire scraped section.
Then I had to go to school like that lol.
Gotta be possum. That shit is musky
It's both, and the ratio between them. Or that's what I ran across back ages ago when I looked into it.
No, no it isn't. Not by a big enough margin to matter anyway. The koala one takes three basic facts and misconstrues them so horribly, I think it's worse in a way
Koalas
a small overview about the chlamydia
and it isn't even something they causedit was from invasive species.
The reason koalas eat only eucalyptus isn't stupidity. It's niche evolution. They live in a place with high competition for resources. Having specialized digestive tracts and gut flora allows them to have a food source that isn't under competition. this is a benefit, not a failure. They literally eat something that is poisonous to pretty much every other species. That is an incredible evolutionary adaptation.
Their joeys eating pap is not exclusive to koalas either. It's not only found across the world, the exposure to the gut flora of the parent happens with most mammals, if in a less direct manner. You can even find a ton of information about what happens when human gut flora becomes unbalanced, and it isn't very pretty. It's just worse for koalas.
Not every species is a generalist, and we don't want them to be.
a note on why koalas bellow so much
As with most behaviors in other species, attributing human judgement and definitions tends to be misleading. While koalas are pretty unique in the lack of mating rituals, they're not doing it for human reasons. Nor are attempts to copulate outside of season as common as the pasta makes it seem. Besides, that's something humans actually do share with them besides the presence of fingerprints. It also isn't so rare in animals as to be remarkable. Copulation behaviors are used outside of mating by plenty of species for social reasons. It isn't in koalas, but since it does increase the chances of mating, it isn't a bad adaptation.
And the extra cerebro-spinal fluid isn't a special ed helmet, it's another adaptation found in other tree dwelling species. Why would an arboreal species having adaptations to mitigate risk from falls be a negative?
Yeah, I get it, the pasta is meant for entertainment, but it also spreads half truths, outright incorrect or outdated information, and skips over facts for the entertainment value. Then people read it and spout it out later as fact.
It's just a crappy copy pasta, not anything meant to be taken as truth, but people are more dumb than koalas.
This pasta in particular isn't the worst (the sunfish one takes the prize for being the most full of bull). Nor is it a bad thing to enjoy as entertainment. But for crying out loud people, don't take random, unsourced copy pasta as an educational tool.
The fuck are you smoking? Russian grown weed, I guess
Not all of them, no.
Most of them don't do those nice, sturdy bubbles at all, but they'll get close. Iirc, almond milk comes closest..
It matters in some recipes whether or not the milk substitute will have the right properties. Say, something like a mushroom cream sauce, none of the substitutes work because there's just not duty enough fats. Milk gravy is hit or miss, with almond being the least bad choice iirc. American style biscuits, soy and almond do okay, but need extra acid to get a good rise like you can with buttermilk. But they sub in fine for regular milk in terms of texture and taste.
Stuff like that. Blowing bubbles is a quick way to test a fake milk. Or even types of cow milk, or milk from other animals. Goat milk, as an example, is so close to cow milk in terms of structure it's an easy substitution if flavor isn't a factor. The powdered milk you can get for long term storage or baking is no better than the usual non dairy stuff when reconstituted, and not even as good as skim milk despite being the dry parts of skim milk.
For good bubbles, you need fats. And they need to be similar enough to milk fats, so there's a high degree of parity between a bubble test and cooking outcomes
I mean, I'll fight you for fun.
Listen worm! All know that a waffle cut exposes the greatest surface area to the heat source. This results in the most optimum caramelization, you spavined cur!
The crowned crispness of the waffle cut is superior in all ways, you petaQ!
Waffle cut! For the glory of the Empire! Death to all crinkle cut worms!
I don't think your opinion as expressed is rare as much as it is people not liking/wanting the options that are currently out there as they are.
If they were all open source and/or free of corporate manipulation, there's big swaths of objectors that would be okay to enthusiastic about it.
If they were fully capable rather than being a mishmash of levels of readiness, another swath would either support or cease to object.
And, you'd also see increased support if the system underlying everything was more supportive of the people that are going to have to shift jobs when the models are fully capable rather than the varying stages of capability.
Eventually, it's going to be the dominant tool for almost all use cases, and there's nothing wrong with a tool reducing the need for humans to do grunt work. It's all the knock on effects that are the problem, not the fact.
Little homie needs to lay off the 'nip if he's going to pursue a modeling career
If you're wanting to do stuff like festivals, you'd probably want to find a clown school.
But doing it as a volunteer, all you really need is a suit, a face, and skills. Juggling, balloon making, card tricks, etc. Then you reach out to facilities and work out the arrangements for a performance. Hospitals can be a tad restrictive about who gets to do shows for pediatric wards, so you'll likely want to try nursing homes first and build up a local rep.
You can also try to hook up with local sideshow type troupes. Clowns aren't always welcome, but you can usually pick up some skills if you're honest about it. The fire performers won't teach you, but jugglers and magicians will usually share some basics as long as you aren't trying to shaft them with it.
Need a bigger magnet.
Also, how do they work?
I don't have enough info to tell if this is unpopular or not, but I bloody well agree. Not just for dads either; it applies to moms
Yeah, on average, that first interaction with a newborn by a parent right after birth is going to cause a massive oxytocin dump. All the stress and adrenaline during birth makes it even more likely for that to clinch the deal.
But it isn't certain, and there's a ton of things that can interfere. Plus, unlike moms, dads aren't always there. Life can throw barriers in the way of being present for the birth. Yeah, moms can be mentally absent and that's a barrier of its own, but we're kinda focusing on dads overall.
Even if everything goes perfect, not everyone is wired the same.
It's great when someone has that instant bonding, but it really does need to be better known that it isn't automatic, nor a sign of anything wrong
