Hello fellow butter bell enthusiast.

90% Vegetarian. Chicken and Fish meat only. No religion.

I used to be a chef so I follow food safety guidelines with some wiggle room, since commerical kitchen standards are supposed to protect all kinds of people and I'm fairly healthy.

I don't let food that's supposed to be hot sit at room temperature for more than 2hrs max. I keep most starchy fruit and root veggies in loose, hanging bags and berries/greens/less starchy vegetables in the fridge. I usually only buy meat if I'm using it that day, only keep leftovers in the fridge for two-to-three days, and freeze anything else.

Super basic explanation: Bacteria are on anything not sterile or on fire. Most are harmless on their own but some produce shit that makes you sick. Like botulism is caused by the toxin the bacteria produce and not the bacteria itself, and it's found on vegetables. With food production all mingled, bacteria from meats can be transferred to non-meat products, too. You can even get sick from raw flour.

Cooked foods have more available sugars for bacteria to eat, plus warm and moist, so it's a great environment for bacteria to break out of hibernation, make babies and poop toxins.

Leaving cooked starchy foods out in ideal bacteria party conditions isn't great, and food poisoning isn't always throwing up and shitting your guts out. Sometimes it's a slight headache or a sore throat.

But whatever, it's about how much risk you want to take on.

I think they're spreading out their demographics. Having one of the marvel team in highschool is more relatable to that age bracket.

I like the newer Spiderman films, and it's interesting how he has to navigate the vulnerabilities of being a minor while possessing incredible powers. Homecoming did a great job of showing this with the confrontation scene on the way to the prom, where, for a few minutes, he was just a terrified kid. The tension was visceral.

That said, I liked how the Superman reboot started after he was established. It was way more interesting than another origin story. But James Gunn is a fantastic writer/director and probably could have done well no matter where the film landed on the timeline.

But I don't think about age that much. You seem to have a weird obsession with specific ages and age differences going by other things I've seen you post.

I don't have any spiritual beliefs but ghosts would be awesome if they were real. They could help us write history books and scare our enemies.

It's always been more of a bitter apertif than the main course, to me. Not particularly satisfying unless shared with company.

I disagree. The blog was already linked in the comment I responded to. Another user, who didn't know about DHH's bullshit, asked what was so bad about the benign article linked. I didn't know if OP was being a shithead or just linked the wrong article, so I was saying "this guy is a dick because he said this."

Propaganda doesn't stop existing when the people who know better pretend it's not there. I believe in bringing receipts when making a claim.

It sucks when I realize the only thing keeping me in shape is social anxiety.

Fat and happy is still better than skinny and crazy.

Guys, I don't have a prostate.

I can see that, and thanks for the explanation. I clicked around a bit after to double-check rules and see if I got the context wrong. But yeah, seems like it was my inexperience with the community and aggressive modding.

I may drive down to visit my friend's states from time to time.

Thanks, yo.

I even posted my old account info on my profile page when I joined a new instance, for transparency, with a comment history going back more than two years, showing I'm way more of a chronically online queer socialist.

I guess we're not supposed to show how facists are being facists when people ask to show them the facism.

 

Yeah, I don't know what's going on here. Looks like a mod having a breakdown. I posted the rest for context and I'm in the middle.

I got linked to the comment chain from elsewhere. The comment had a link to a tech dude's blog, supposed to point out his white supremecism. I didn't see anything bad in that article, but stumbled on another one with nazi apologia, thought they may have linked the wrong article, posted it. That's it. That's all I did.

I guess it is called awful.systems and the culture confuses me, but man, what a dick move to call me a facist in the modlog.

If nothing else, I hope this drama is entertaining.

Edit: Because this is, well, the internet: I was not defending DHH. Another removed/banned comment said they couldn't find anything bad in that link either, so I found one where DHH was being more blatant in his bullshit.
