The taste is generally okayish, it’s the texture that gets me. It’s always so granular and just… Eugh. The impossible burger, to be clear, is amazing in both taste and texture.

Now, to be completely fair now that I’m really thinking of it, most of the meat replacements I’ve had were cooked by my brother’s ex fiance, who also ruined tofu for me for years. And my vegan buddy is the one that made me try tofu again and I loved it, and the impossible burger…

You know what. In retracting my comment. It’s absolutely possible that I just didn’t like it because she was an awful cook. I will go about trying them all again

As a lifelong meat eater, anytime I’ve been in a situation where I abstain from meat for whatever reason, I avoid meat substitutes. They’re just not good. Black bean burger? Fantastic. Beyond burger? Satan’s taint. Stir fried veggies with fried tofu? Delicious. Qorn chicken stir fry? Beelzebub’s unwashed ass.

It’s so much better just to stop trying to imitate meat, and just focus on how frickin delicious veggies and stuff can be. They’re very good, all on their own!

The exception for me is the impossible burger. I legitimately like it better than a regular burger. It’s like if meat could be sourdough. I love it so much. But it truly is an exception.

I am so sorry you’re dealing with this. I don’t know if you’re comfortable doing it, but I would post the number. Each time they text from a new number, post it. Hell, make a new Lemmy community just for posting their number each time. on top of that, turn off read receipts. Between no contact from you and unceasing contact from others, they may eventually determine it’s not worth the effort.

Is “i18n” a typo or some term I’m not familiar with?

I use a password manager, which means if I ever lose access or forget my master password, there’s zero changes in going to successfully guess my password to anything else, though.

Was than an o or a 0 after the s?

I don’t know if that’s a reference to something or something, but it reminded me of a story. One time me and my buddy got blazed. Like can’t feel your fucking face high. He said something, I still don’t know what, but it sounded like “saluton,” and I thought he spoke Esperanto. I had just gotten pretty proficient, and just, like, launched into a diatribe about how cool Esperanto is, and how much I really enjoyed learning it. One of those stoner speeches where you don’t know if you’ve been talking for 30 seconds or 30 minutes. In Esperanto. The whole thing, in Esperanto. The most I had ever spoken out loud in person with someone.

He was like “wtf? I didn’t know you spoke Spanish”

I was so fucking embarrassed. Lol

Ahh, yeah, I’m on mobile. I rarely ever use the laptop outside of school

When I was 13-14 I had this best friend, named Amber. I was terribly gay, and she dreadfully lesbian. Neither one of us had admitted it to the other, or even really ourselves. But there was a connection, and everyone just assumed we were dating. Including her dad, who spent most of his time overseas. Former military, and now he’s over there with some private fucking army or some shit. Absolutely terrifying man. Divorced from her mom, but stays with them whenever he’s stateside.

Anyway, her mom had met me once or twice, but never in the context of us dating, which we had basically decided to just go along with. Her dad came home one week, and I was so freaked out about meeting him, because I’d heard all these stories. I went over to get her, and her dad told me to come inside.

Dude was freaky, kind of an asshole, but no over protective dad shit.

Then her mom came in the room, dad asked her if she’d met “Amber’s boyfriend”

Mom was like, “yeah, but he didn’t tell me he was dating my daughter”

And then she looks me dead in the eye, and with witnesses tells 14 year old me “listen, tubby, if she ends up pregnant I’ll fuck your ass with her father’s rifle so hard you’ll spit bullets”

Her mother is so much more terrifying than her father. Super Catholic, super scary, super Chancla energy

How does one see alt text? I’ve seen people reference it on here, but I have no idea how to see it

Depends on what problematic stuff you’re talking about, but yeah. In general, porn sucks. Homemade stuff is better, but mostly it’s all boring

Nah, the sound is like 90% of it for me. But I don’t like scripted porn, I like homemade stuff

For my microwave its 20 second intervals. But also, let’s say I open the door mid-run, if the tray is rotating clockwise, when I restart it it will rotate counterclockwise. Every time you open it it reverses it’s rotation.

I don’t know if all microwaves do this, or just mine. I never really had cause to notice until I started making desserts and candies, where you often nuke for 10 seconds, stir, 10 seconds, stir to melt chocolate. Easiest to just set for 40 seconds and open/close than it is to reset each time. This is the only microwave I’ve done that with, though, so idk if it’s common

You rang?

Thank you!

I got one of them rolly ball mice you use with your thumb. Fucking game changer, it does not require any kind of flat surface.

Aunt gale, is that you?

It is because of the bottom image that we do the top image. Folk is nasty

Damn, that’s exactly the kind of thing I’d be into. I might have to learn German just for this book. Lmao

This needs to be that thinking dinosaur
