  But nothing rinses away with just water? That’s why I assumed you meant “rinsing with water” = “washing dishes”.

  Why would that even be a rule of thumb? Who rinses dishes with water instead of washing them normally?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you think I’m a piece of shit for doing what is just normal and widely accepted as such because there is no reason to the contrary you can provide, you must live a helluva sheltered life. I’d adjust your expectations and fast if you want to get through life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why should I give one single shit about any of this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah sure thanks. The “g” threw me off. Wouldn’t it be “lucky 10k”? g means “grand” but that’s usually only in reference to money, nah?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah in many years never had a problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you keep focusing on “water”? I don’t get what you’re getting at. You don’t wash dishes with just water.

  You wash dishes by squeezing some dishwashing liquid on a dishwashing sponge, then pour hot water onto the dish being cleaned, then you scrub it clean with the sponge.

  Then when there are no longer any visible stains on the dishes in question, the dishes are clean and you put them on a drying rack and/or pay them down with a towel.

  All i see going into the sink during this process is soapy water.

  Whatever is downstream of my sink should be built to handle food waste. That must include fats. Not my fault if they half-assed it honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Y’all deserve each other. Actual lard eater and veganoid. Just use butter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. It just rinses out normally like anything on the pan with a scrub and washing up liquid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah eastern Europeans aren’t like that at all we’re all very friendly, except the poles obviously.

  .

  /s obviously

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve done this too for some washes. The shrinkflation on those capsules is unreal too so gotta throw in a couple to make it up for that. How did it cause a problem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you live in like a castle or something. Who tf has those.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s on the private water companies and failing to invest and fix the infrastructure properly. Fuck them they are the same bastards as the landlords if not worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk I’ve never had any issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But olive oil does rinse away pretty easily with water and washing up liquid? So does butter and bacon fat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh my how original. No I will not eat ze bugs. Are you gonna bitch and cry about le poor animals now too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah so I think it’s okay because without the grease trap there’s no clog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL. Thanks! Knew about wet wipes obviously.

  Apparently it’s mostly an issue in the US due to this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_trap so might be more common knowledge there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh? I live on my own and cook for myself. I’ve never had any drainage issues either. Maybe in the shower due to hair, but never in the kitchen. I’ve just literally never heard of this, ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s not really “public” per se.

  It’ll be handled by a private contractor owned by private equity that specializes in leeching taxpayer dollars same as everything. The tender will be won by those who can promise the local govt officials the best jobs at said private contractor or sister/parent company after their term.

  Even if by some miracle the city/municipality has its own teams for this work, they’ll be nickel and dimed by checkbox ticking legislation that exists as breeding ground for middlemen consultants who will suck away taxpayer dollars.

  That is until some “budget hawk” type consultancy is brought in by some bigger fish whether it’s the city or the state or the fed or the fucking IMF if you’re Greece and force privatisation in the name of efficiency.

  This will lead to a collapse of the service quality, collapse of living standards and a declining trust in institutions, leading to a far-right takeover because in the end - most people are monsters.

  Or something like that I imagine. I used to work for the NHS in the UK. The owner of the trust “convinced” the procurement to allow the company to make a “surplus”. He drove a Porsche and looked like a 90s movie villain.

  So yes, pour that shit. And don’t feel bad - the ghouls wouldn’t, and we’re all just human after all.

  This is my first time hearing of this ngl. Actually I’m not entirely sure what “grease” means, is it what is left from oil and butter after cooking meats? Meat juices? I’ve always poured it down the drain. Never even heard of anyone doing otherwise, least of all putting it in a jar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have that too. I just wipe it with microfibre wipes every few weeks and before guests come over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe someday 😌⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly .ml and .world deserve each other. Sh.it.just.works too, most common in my blocked user list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EVERYBODY IS DOING SOMETHING⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but they seem lame and they give people the shits

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EVERYBODY IS DOING SOMETHING⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This has been my experience. I find nutritional science incredibly boring, I’ve tried many times to get excited about it, but I just can’t seem to find an ‘in’ with it to make it my 2-week.special interest and learn the basics properly.

  I just eat bacon, sausages, eggs, and throw in some kale, spinach & watercress. I’ve cut out all bread, sweets, snacks and alcohol.

  For dinner I have some frozen pizza or something like that that I can make without any effort or time, but lately it’s way way way too much effort to cook/eat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, yeah? That’s all job interviews are.

  Even not considering the visuals - you’re just marketing yourself as more valuable to the corpo than others vying for the same place, regardless of whether you’re a man or woman.

  But for women there’s an extra barrier. Many men, especially on the older side literally do not believe a woman can actually be on-par with a man in your usual blue collar job, nevermind exceed one, they cannot be convinced as such no matter what.

  These are the types of men to give you a lecture about how you’re not given a voice, but then literally never let you get a word in. This behaviour is so deeply ingrained and internalised it’s just not really changeable.

  What you can do though is distract from whatever they think your value is by being “nice to look at”. Their overall impression will be positive then when it comes to deciding these things at least.

  This same strategy has a less commonly needed equivalent of men having a good shot at giving female interviewers a good impression by being charming and sociable.

  Lookism is alive and well, always has been, probably always will be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I honestly think they're impossible to understand⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tabletop/card games seem inexplicably complex like bruh.

  Something about the teaching method of some guy explaining something to you haphazardly, while sitting physically across from you making facial expressions and body language gestures and whatnot, something about the societal pressure to understand the rules in a given time limit as to not hold up a game, yet also make sure you actually do understand it and not come off as an idiot in a group which often features people you don’t know that well, meaning you’re now vulnerable in front of strangers, the way it’s explained purely in the abstract without any relation to the real world which just makes the rules seem extremely arbitrary… It just makes for a rotten stew of incomprehensibility.

  On the one hand I actually like it because how much of a challenge it is to my brain and the sheer novelty and shock to the system that the experience brings.

  Most of the time games you play either have a commonality with others (genre i.e. FPS) or simulate a real world activity (i.e. shooting people) that have a certain logic to them that’s just self-evident (point at target and pull trigger) and speak a sort of shared language that’s designed to be as ergonomic as possible and on top of that, teaches you as you go with contextual instructions.

  Even very complex games like HOI4 (or any Paradox or Paradox-type game) with enormous amounts of intertwined highly complex systems still simulate a real world activity to some degree, I don’t actually have to have any game-specific knowledge to understand that if my government budget is in the red my immediate solutions are to cut costs or increase income (tax) and borrow to invest in infrastructure to increase income long-term and if the menu is intuitive enough, (e.g. Victoria 3), you can just find it.

  And games with just absurd amounts of knowledge required like Warframe don’t necessarily expect the player to actually know all, most or really any of it to play at the most basic level, and it’s kinda understood that learning the ins and outs of later content takes hours and hours of periodic wiki perusing and game progress.

  So board games that force completely abstract thinking among arbitrary rules going on half understood words of someone with an ever-thickening accent instead of the safe warmth of wiki text on a screen are actually a fun challenge, if you’re the kind of person that likes to blast yourself with ice cold showers to wake up (me).

  On the other hand - unfortunately I feel apprehensive about it due to past experience where sincere engagement probably gave my gf’s friend circle the impression that I’m a stunted or something, it kinda sucks to feel like my game performance is judged, when obviously such things are intended more as a mutual activity to stimulate conversation and alcohol consumption rather than some cutthroat assessment of skill. I don’t even know if it’s the case, but I felt that way, so now I’ve just learned to say no completely out of hand to any and all interactive things at any social gathering for the most part.

  Wait, sushi places have spring rolls? I thought it was a doner kebab thing, I get them with cream sauce or garlic sauce or something. Definitely not soy sauce yuck.
