She might want to invest in a personal body cam. It’s something I’ve thought about, being a transgender person. If anything happens, it’s all recorded and very damning evidence.

“Sounds like a personal problem.”

So, Adventures of Link is, what? Skyrim modded? xD

Custom game icons? What is this?

The phrase I run with: don’t shit in your own backyard.

You’re insulting yourself by protecting insecurities.

The closest I get is the Winter Solstice, because I’d rather celebrate the planet’s cycle around the Sun, you know, a fact of nature.

I don’t subscribe to blatant consumerism in the guise of “holiday spirit”. You know, when the retailers go from the red into the black (loss to profit), and the consumers from the black into the red. Then you hope your tax returns fill the gap so you can survive. Positive feedback loop. I’m calling shenanigans.

And the depressive-nostalgic music. The decorations. The hypocritical “cheer” people spread that they can’t be bothered with the rest of the year, like they needed a reason to be nice. What in the Disney Channel fuck. It’s like saying you can only tell someone you love them on Valentine’s Day. Y’all motherfuckers are crazy.

Okay, rant over. Feel free to downvote, I’ll gladly eat it. Happy Fucking Holidays!

So fucking tired of this headline eye-grabber.

Somebody set up us the bomb.

I hope he chokes on a Happy Meal.

Yeah, tell that to the racists, fascists, and other forms of assholery in the world.

I agree. Sean Murray took us all for a ride. Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.

Holy shit, I love grapes. I usually snip off part of a bunch, rinse it, and have it with my lunch. Nice way to finish the meal and cleanse the palate with something sweet.

If I remember correctly, this happened in Everquest Frontiers. You’d catch some shitty AoE debuff in town and give it to other people, including attackable NPCs like guards. Guards were not easy to kill, so they just carried that shit for weeks. The only way to remove the debuff was die, but it just kept spreading, so the best way was to not coach to other towns, but Freeport was basically fucked. That was SOE for ya, and they did that shit on purpose.

I don’t use social media except Lemmy. I refuse to eat bad food, so why would I consume bad content? And stay away from commenting sections like YouTube and Steam unless you like brain rot. People be peopleing.

I think the threshold might be media that is known to be bad influencers to the masses. If a corporation/company stamps social media logos on the bottom of their website or advertisement, it’s probably worth banning (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, etc). I mean, how many more Tide pod challenges do our children need? It’s a waste of time and we need to instead be showering our kids with positive messages, not feeding them brain rot.

It’s just a simple dish, there’s many recipes online with different variations.

Typically, I just slice the sprouts in half and put them in a glass baking dish (nice and fresh, don’t use frozen or they will turn to mush). Then, bacon is cut into small pieces and pre-cooked in a pan, nice and crispy. Drain the bacon, then add it to the sprouts, adding back a little of the bacon grease, just enough to cover the sprouts. Into the oven at about 400, giving them a stir halfway through. They’re ready when the sprouts are easily pierced by a fork (usually about 20-25 min).

Sometimes, I also add things like onions, beets, turnips, butternut squash (all cut to about the same size as the sprouts). If I’m making a medley like this, I don’t always add the bacon, opting for a little oil with crushed garlic, salt and pepper to taste.

Roasted vegetables is one of my most favorite side dishes, as it’s pretty easy to make and so very tasty. My parents weren’t always cooking easy fixes for dinner and I have vivid memories of things like this at the table. Other Thanksgiving favorites: real cranberry sauce (no canned) and mashed rutabaga. Now I’m so hungry!
