Right. But my point was poor empathy on your part.
- Comment on Spray n Pray 3 days ago:
I don’t disagree in principle, but you seem to be the only person here who thinks this one is less than clear. It doesn’t appear to be ‘misleading’ for anyone else.

You write like you didn’t lose anyone in your life to the pandemic. Must be nice.
- Comment on Spray n Pray 4 days ago:
It’s obviously 2020 because it starts at basically zero cases. Also it’s weird that your expect rigor from memes.

I too would want a robe, mask, and gun if these fools approached me.

I shared this with a buddy and he responded with his favorite.

Or like Saints Row 3 and beyond. You mean I can wear a hotdog costume while terrorizing a city from my fighter jet? Yes please.

Came here to recommend LGIO too. Cracks me up, I’ve seen basically every video.
Some of the best stuff these days is actually on the unofficial youtube channel where they repost segments from the twitch streams, esp. when Josh collabs with other folks. There’s this UK streamer, Lollipop or something (I really need to look her up) and she might be even funnier than him. But they’re great together.

I’ve seen chipmunks do this so many times. Those cheeks can hold a lot, but not as many snacks as they wish they could hold.

Terraria? That could keep you engrossed for a good hundred+ hours 🙂
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 - Official Gameplay Teaser Trailer 4 weeks ago:
The “story”, “writing” and “characters” are also painfully bad. Cutscenes arent skippable. You can mute those bland corporate written assholes though.
I only played FH4 but yeah they were pretty awful. The Drift guy was okay though, he was basically like “hey go have fun and show off”. Generic but pleasant enough. Other characters were unlikeable.
Playground Games’ track record is still pretty good and they overtook Turn10 a long time ago.
??? These games are made by both Playground and Turn10.

Nope, that’s Dunkleosteus terrelli.

It’s always great to see a big Dunk.

Who’s defining low and high here?
Magnetar looking at every voltage that’s ever occurred on Earth: Aw, that’s cute.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
Sure, I’m familiar with mirepoix and I know my capabilities in a kitchen.
I’m asking why practically every soup recipe or chef or manufacturer includes it. Before this thread I didn’t think anyone had a better-than-neutral opinion of celery.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
I find a bit of soy sauce works well if a soup needs more umami.
Yep I enjoy truffles and lamb. Don’t recall if I’ve tried those other two items but mushrooms in general are nice.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
No allergy.
If you don’t like that flavor just leave it out when you make it
I do. But that doesn’t help me with soups from a restaurant or a can. I would enjoy so many more from a menu or grocery if they weren’t loaded with celery.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
Yep. If you’ve ever tried Old Bay seasoning, it’s the dominant flavor in that. Apologies to the state of Maryland, but I find it foul.
Of course you could also just bite into a stalk, you’ll taste it.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
think at some point you may need to admit that this post is essentially “I don’t like this thing, why does everyone else?”
That’s true of a lot of things. My question is why it’s so extraordinarily prevalent. Onions I understand as they are very dynamic. But I have a friend who hates onions 🤷
I don’t understand why you seem to struggle so much with the idea that others don’t share it.
I don’t. Simple as that.
Personally I think garlic is absolute magic, but I can 100% accept that others may not like it the same way, and some may be violently repelled by it. 🤷♂️
Totally agreed, garlic is awesome, but I know some people out there may hate it. And some like it but can’t eat it due to IBS.

Thanks! Can you elaborate on the movement? It felt bad before, especially since I used to play Warframe (which probably has the best third-person mobility ever).
- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 2 months ago:
Have they fixed the movement so sprinting doesn’t disable when the terrain rises 2 cm? And so you don’t have to melee-jump to get everywhere at a decent speed?
Are there more than 2 space station interiors now? And more than 3 hostile plants across multiple galaxies? And actual geography like rivers or ice caps?
As you can maybe tell I wanted to like the game but wasn’t very impressed when I played ~2 years ago.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
Yep and when those onion sugars caramelize, which adds a ton of flavor complexity. That one makes immediate sense to me. I actually like to add onions at various stages of soupmaking (for some recipes) so you get a variety of pungency and sweetness.
Celery though? I taste the same flavor whether it’s raw or cooked to mush.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
If “some people like it” then I would expect it in some soups. But it seems to be present in the vast majority of them, like to a disproportionate degree.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
Maybe a better way of saying it is that a set of bricks is not a house. The organization and methodology makes data more than just a collection of assorted incidents.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
I grew up eating it raw with peanut butter
I did too. Sometimes people would call it “ants on a log” and stick a few raisins on top. The celery crunch was nice but always wanted maximum PB to cover the flavor. Later I realized it was better without the celery at all.
Anyway, I’ve definitely crossed the dozen threshold. Probably ten dozen. I’m always picking it out of my meal when I try a new Chinese dish.

I believe the saying is: The plural of anecdote is not data.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
Haha, right on. Cheers for a digital window outside our local bubbles, friend 🍻
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
I guess? My soup tastes like soup (according to my partner anyway) without any celery.
But she had a canned soup earlier today and she didn’t notice the celery. I took one bite and noticed it immediately. So this may be at least half true.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
That’s the kind of answer I was looking for, thanks!
I wonder how much pectin is in peppers? I usually think of it coming from fruit and botanically those technically are.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 months ago:
As with many food things you can blame the french.
Been waiting for that answer lol
