Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.

FFS. Ohio’s officials need to actually face legal consequences for all its gerrmandering and other fuckery.
I’m in my 40s and I’m with them. Movies can be cool, but I tend to like an interactive experience more.
I’m torn between “no teeth (just gums) and a mouth stuffed with chocolate pudding (specifically the one that many American buffet restaurants use)” and “crunching jagged jawbreakers (or rocks)”
The only time I ever liked plain milk was still warm out of the cow. These days, I just don’t drink milk except for a very rare (couple of times a year) chocolate milk or milkshake where I don’t taste the milk itself, really.
Breed and diet definitely impact milk flavor and fat percentage, but some types of pasteurization seem to as well.
This is not an endorsement to drink milk that has not been pasteurized.
Aside from that, particularly with regard to colostrum, some people think treating the milk can damage things. As mentioned, I’m not a milk drinker to begin with, but I have no idea if (a) there are any studies showing benefits or even effects of drinking colostrum, particularly as an adult and from something other than a human or (b) regardless of point a if there is even any study on heat damaging it. I watch a lot of farming/homesteading content and some people are really into this.
“farewell” and “last date ever”, they always say. As soon as the money runs out… BAM! Time for another tour.
Seconded. Something you grow picked at it’s optimal time will nearly always taste better as well
Citation needed (grew up on those shampoos, thick as ever in my 40s). I think genetics plays the bigger.role here, right?
If you are not American, this is a retirement account thing.
Volunteer at a place if you can. Spend time in a community completely different to your own. If you have the means, live as a normal person in a country (i.e. not tourist insulated in a community of speakers of your own language) for 3 months (common tourist visa/waiver length), best if done in a country culturally different to your own. If you can’t do that, at least learn a new language and consume media and interact with people (generally free these days).
A mob, for those unfamiliar, is another word for a monster or (typically hostile) NPC in a game.
Winner: Moving to Japan and getting out of the US. Both places have their problems, but I’d rather be here.
Runner up: Corona lockdowns caused me to do some thinking and soul-searching, but also finally made remote work somewhat of a thing. This ended up helping me be able to move to the countryside without the home loan companies being too weirded out by it.
Fiiiiiine. Whatever.
My parents were super strict. I was at a buddy’s house when Terminator 2 first came to VHS and we watched it. I was probably around 11. Having not really seen anything like that, it definitely impacted me for a while. Then again, I was already having nightmares most nights by then anyway.
I remember watching the Berlin Wall coming down on the news. I don’t remember the Challenger explosion (edit: though I was alive for it, to be clear). I was out on my own during 9/11, worried as hell about being drafted. Whether or not I am gen-x depends upon which of the dates for its end you choose.
Mom, it’s like 3am your time, what are you doing… sorry, force of habit.
Edit: I realized I replied to a post more than a day old. For reference, it was 4pm my time when I wrote this. Man, the jokes I have to explain are the best!
Never live in the japanese countryside. Work starts between 5 and 6am every day (sunrise is before 4:30am at it’s earliest where I live). By 9am in August, it’s already getting ridiculously hot for working outside.
Huge in Japan (though I think it’s more that someone bought the rights to use the name rather than the yahoo of old IIRC).
Well, I have “getting up before 2 or 3 (depending on US daylight saving time) to get ready for renewal” to look forward to. I’m not sure if that’s better than the time/money to travel to Tokyo.
