- Comment on Why Should I... 9 hours ago:
I’ve never cut beef out entirely but it is surprisingly easy to dramatically reduce how much one uses. Nearly everything that’s good with beef is also good with other meats. I also found doing meatless Mondays to be a great way to experiment with vegetarian/vegan dishes without feeling like I was missing out on anything and then I could take that knowledge into other days
I think a big problem is a lot of people are not confident in their ability to cook. They maybe know how to make a couple of their favorite childhood dishes and a couple things they picked up along the way, maybe. It’s hard to replace a burger with a portabello if you don’t know how to critically approach cooking temps and times so it ends up awful, or trying to cook a passable ratatouille and not knowing how to use a knife or having any spices in the cupboard

- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 4 days ago:
When I was living in Seattle I figured about $100k would be a reasonable minimum there. That’s just enough to not constantly stress about money, do things like going to the doctor and dentist, you can have some joys in life, and save towards long term goals. It can’t get you anything fancy you still need to live modestly but you can actually live not just survive

So this is a bit of a complicated thing that I admittedly still don’t fully understand and I did word it a bit wrong. I paid a bunch of money to the hospital/surgery, insurance reimbursed them, hospital reimbursed me, insurance said woopsies we reimbursed too much, the hospital paid back that amount to insurance, then the hospital asked me for money. I told insurance and the hospital tough fucking titties they better figure it out because they’re not getting that money back.
I was originally told I would pay the hospital, then I would hit my out of network out of pocket max, the hospital would be reimbursed the full amount after my max, then the hospital would reimburse me. I got fucked from both sides and eventually their woopsie was my “I have enough money to fight you but nobody wants that because even if you win you have to get it from me across the world” so they folded

I had a max out of network out of pocket of $5k and insurance told me after my surgery that it didn’t count because they didn’t have a contract with where I went. So basically they needed to be in network to count towards our of network? $28k later they said they miscalculated and I owed another $14k I told them I’m living in a different country now so try and get it and they dropped the extra amount

One disconnect here is some people just don’t give a fuck about learning or improving in itself, only to achieve a goal. So like “I want to make XYZ” the outcome is what they value not the process of getting there. Now they’ve been handed a tool that can skip the learning part and go right to “produces something better than I can” which only works because the bar is so low when you are comparing it to completely unpracticed work

In game dev I’m convinced every team needs a hype person. Doesn’t matter if they suck at actual game dev but it’s invaluable having a positive emotional influence on everyone

It probably would have gotten confused and sent an NDA doc to their mistress, a nude of that kink they’ve never admitted to to their wife, and a “sorry I’ll be home late my cunt of a boss is calling me in immediately” to their boss

The increased chance of birth defects seems a bit immoral. Also there’s a good chance childhood trauma is at play for siblings to want to bang, or at the very least some questionable power dynamics, that are worth at least looking into. Supposing none of that is an issue I guess I’m not going to yuck someone else’s yum even if I feel weird about the whole thing 🤷♀️

Okay but a properly fried shrimp is peak with the shell on. Good snappy crunch to it, they help hold the flavor in, wonderful. And for tails I usually don’t even care how they’re cooked I just go ahead and eat the tails shell in saves a lot of hassle and they’re pretty good

You’re nearly at 2 years! I love games with calm save spots or hubs. One of my favorite aspects of Subnautica is when I’ve been up to some stressful dive and I finally return to my base, hear the little robot voice welcoming me back, and all the anxiety vaporizes
