More like “bye-net”

If it’s floating, it has too much fat in it, so it’s not the product of anyone with an especially healthy poop.

Fecal transplants have actually surprising potential.

But yeah there’s a lot of dangerous pathogens as well.

Get a larger pan / have some patience and mix them.

It doesn’t really matter if 30 seconds one end is in the water and the other isn’t while you’re gently bending them into the pot.

Or, get one of these.

(Yes yes, I should clean my kitchen.)

Drop them in and the shape makes them swirl and no mixing needed when it’s a roiling boil. I do often see that they separate well but after that, no need.

He did yeah. I hope you weren’t judging me for my use of “Indian”. No offense meant if it was accidentally given.

I’m not gonna comment on it more but there is a nice 40 second clip from Slavoj Zizek on him telling a story about talking about the nomenclature with a native American.

I didn’t know I had that memory.

Ah, thanks for unlocking some more nostalgia.

That was one sassy Indian guy if I recall correctly.

At grandma’s, raining outside, fire in the living room, small-ish CRT tv with a VCR, granny on a rocker with the cat in her lap. Sitting on the floor.

Nostalgia used to be fatal, better take care to avoid too much of it.

You seem like a man of culture.

Does anyone else remember The Pagemaster?

I had a vague recollection of a fantasy movie about libraries and a them traveling to a “book world” sort of. I would prolly get pretty immense nostalgia from watching that. Or I’ll ruin the memories I have. Perhaps better not?

I misread that as “Italian” and it felt a bit weird.

Thought it was someone who snaps their spaghetti before cooking it.

Well thats a form of “R&M requires a high IQ” I’ve not yet seen.

Good guy, very standard.

Did as asked. Failed to see where the fun is? (I’m not being offensive, I just missed a joke and would like in on it.)

I think it’s from “Google Workspaces” that you have to remove it from.

I have it on my phone and occasionally it think I’m asking it to do something like writing an email and then it’ll say I have to enable Gemini in Google Worspaces or something.

Idk hope I’ve provided some info idk

I would very much prefer actual physical buttons to write with.

I’m impatient and write fast and the tactile feedback is so shit I use the mid correction after seeing it’s the correct one but often I misclick and don’t proofread so I end up with a lot of silly mistakes.

(I do proofread emails and whatnot but like not mobile posted Lemmy comments)

And you know what this thing could do?

It had FM radio and you had the capacity to record songs off the fking radio. In 2003. That was beyond crazy. I mean you can do that at home with a cassette player, but since this had a radio and recorder, it was basically one of those boomboxes people’s carried around in the 80’s. Functionally, if only because you had earphones and listened to it yourself.

Although the quality would horrify the HiFi people, especially anyone under 30 or so. They weren’t mp3, more like AMR/ACR whatever have you. (A proprietary format called LSE).

I vividly remember the sights and smells of walking and listening to Eminem - Lose Yourself on a very specific path I used to walk in the woods.

Gods I miss being a kid.

Edit to make it clear about the phone, it was essentially an improved 3310 (the classic unbreakable nokia) with a different case so it had qwerty and a few other improved features (like I think even WAP basically which was like a very crude mobile internet) and a few added games, like the 3330 (which was this improved version but in a standard Nokia 3310 case, with very minor alteration of a few mm)

When I was a horny young man, I had this bad boy and a connection with “unlimited SMS to five chosen numbers” (you could then change those numbers but it’d cost you a little). It was only “unlimited” for the month it came out and the next month and then schools began and all us teenagers were texting each other in class under the table for absolutely no reason.

And the next month the “unlimited” became 1000 sms, to each of your five numbers or total I forget.

Its funny how they wish to use such imagery. Running, sprinting, marathon.

I have like a huge pile of letters from some twat lawyers sending threatening letters about copyright.

The sad thing is most people I asked say “I would pay”. This was like more than 10 years ago when I first got some of them.

The Pirate Party in Finland tried informing people of them being just threats, but Finns are really complicit people and afraid of breaking any rules, so I’m sure these twat lawyers made thousand, tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands. With Finland’s tiny 5m population.

Basically what happens is some company in Germany which owns the rights to some B-class show or just a porn film even, then they upload it to an open torrent site. Wait for people to download it (remember the didn’t give permission to download it), look at the IP’s, then send the respective country in EU a request for the ISP to get that IP owner’s information and then hire a local lawyer to send them a threatening letter; “you’ve illegally downloaded a porn movie, pay us 800€ or we’ll take you to court and you’ll have to pay tens of thousands.”

And if that goes to someone married or someone who downloaded fetish porn or something, they’ll be even more likely to pay.

I never replied or did jack shit. Nothing has happened.

I know it’s not the same, but if you don’t have the sensitivity, then obviously you don’t have to eat the same food.

And yes, I agree, most gluten free replacements are kinda bad. Nowhere near as bad as they were 20 years ago, though. Took me months, but I actually did find a gluten free pasta that’s honestly edible and doesn’t ruin the dish with some weird texture or taste I don’t like.

I only tell you this because I too used to think gluten-free is a fad and people are just “imagining” benefits from going gluten-free free.

I’ve had a stomach pain my entire life. No doctor ever suggested going gluten free and I even had a biopsy taken at 18 to see whether it’s celiacs. Either it was a false negative or I have what is known as NCGS, Non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

And it’s genuinely not a joke.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10593161/

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) has been shown to occur in individuals without serological or biopsied evidence of celiac disease (CD), who manifest psychotic ormood disorders that resolve following elimination of gluten. In this case history, we discuss a similar manifestation in a 31-year-old woman without serological evidence of CD, whose psychiatric symptoms improve with gluten elimination.

A 31-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of severe gluten sensitivity, Hashimoto’s disease, mosaic turner’s syndrome, and presumed schizo-affective disorder, bipolar type with multiple inpatient psychiatric involuntary admissions presented to the ED on petition for aggressive behavior by law enforcement. The patient had a week-long break-down at her parents’ home, where she also resides. She reportedly broke several objects and threatened to slit her mother’s throat. On the physical exam, she was malodorous, disheveled, and had long extremely matted hair. Psychiatric evaluation was notable for rambling speech, dysphoric mood, agitation, and irritability. Thought content was disorganized and consisted of grandiose and paranoid persecutory delusions. She was emergently given Haldol for worsening agitation, as she became physically threatening.

And all that goes a way by not ingesting gluten. So you know, which would you rather, a crazy gf and donuts or a friendly gf with some gluten tree donuts which are like sort of okay?

I’m not saying your gf has NCGS but just saying I understand the resentment (id sell my own mother for some proper gluteny carbonara) but going gluten and dairy free (casein, the milk protein, often also caused symptoms with NCGS patients, might want to maybe let your gf know if she’s improved with gluten free but still experiencing some GI symptoms) may have improved her well being so much that I think you should at least try to get over the resentment.

You can always go eat out alone. But if she’s maintaining a strict diet, she prolly shouldn’t go to a single fast food burger place. Some of them offer gluten free buns but they don’t guarantee the meal to be glutenfree as its made in the same kitchen. Also, worth asking if they’re have a separate deep frier for gluten free things if getting fries.

Sorry for the rant. I truly understand the resentment and the hankering for cheesy gluteny goodness, trust me. But I also know how massively the diet can improve life quality (Google “gluten belly” for instance for some insta girls showing the difference). And I know how frustrating it can feel when other people see it as something that’s not "really necessary", instead treating it somewhat like someone not liking pickles in their cheeseburger. (I’m sure you don’t treat her like that, I’m talking about people I know.)

Literally every accusation from right-wing fucks is an admission, and they don’t even see it.
