@npub1vs7…a6g3 does Boston have a Tomato Monument? It does not! I rest my case.

@npub1sfl…gczt it's funny, but there are definitely parts that…don't hold up super well

@npub1sfl…gczt I swear, virtually nobody on either side is willing to believe that the people on the other side have the same ultimate goal and has a good-faith disagreement about how to reach it. it's maddening.

@npub1sfl…gczt look, once you're committed to the muffin path, there's really no turning back

hey so if you have a #spoutible account you need to immediately scroll to the end of this post, take the four steps listed, and then read the whole post. a vulnerability that was just fixed made it possible for an attacker to take complete control of your account without you getting any kind of notification.

if you see a post you don't like, by all means, mute or block the person if you want to. there's no need to tell anyone you're doing that.

2024-01-24 00:31:39

one thing that is rather odd, to me, to see re-emerging as a not-uncommon behavior here on the fediverse is the practice of announcing to someone that you're blocking and/or muting them. I thought we'd all outgrown doing that years ago when we were still on twitter, why would we start again now, in this purportedly better place?

@npub1sfl…gczt I don't know if it's the same brand, but my brother's family use those, they like them a lot! my thing is, the main things I use paper towels for are patting raw meat dry before seasoning it; cleaning up cat barf; and absorbing excess left-over deep-frying oil to throw away because it's bad to pour down the drain.

@npub1sfl…gczt well, I'm not sure the specific recipe we used is still online—this would have been sometime in the early to mid '00s—but if you search for "Tiessennau Mel" you should find the right kind of thing.

@npub1sfl…gczt many, many years ago R and I went to a LotR-themed potluck party. now, somewhere in the books there's a group of people called the Beornings, descended from Beorn (who appears in The Hobbit), they're viking-ish humans who can shape-change into bears — and they're also famous for their honey-cakes. So we found a recipe for Welsh honey-cakes. I can try to find it and send it to you, if you like. they were pretty tasty!

@npub1sfl…gczt I had an improvised cocktail tonight with, I'd retroactively eyeball, about 1.5 to 2oz rye whiskey, 0.5oz lemon juice, and a couple dashes each angostura and peychaud's bitters. it was pretty tasty!

2023-08-12 13:45:53

so…these people checked the "we will abuse children you place with us" box on the form, and now they're mad the state said no? fuck off. "religious freedom" doesn't mean "a right to be supplied by the state with children to harm".
