I’m not sure why OP or other comments are so hung up on the Athlete part? One of the most famous and wealthiest athletes of all time was a Roman charioteer. Gaius Appuleius Diocles was a celebrity across empires and predated doctors, Jesus and the radio. The only people that got paid more than Gaius were landowners/lords, which is still true to this day.

1980’s Reaganomics, early recession, rising inequality, “greed is good” culture, heightened Cold War tensions, the emergence of the AIDS crisis, and societal shifts towards consumerism. The 80’s was also a time of technological boom with computers, MTV, and cultural dynamism, with critiques often focusing on increased individualism, materialism, and social challenges.

It’s not ice cream, unfortunately. It’s like an ice pop/bomb pop, but goopy.

To expand on this post, high fructose corn syrup doesn’t freeze right so it was just a goopy sticky mess of a toilet paper roll. Not unlike your drunkle Bob’s morning Choco Belagio Festivo, or the biggest fountain this side of the rio grande. Poor aunt Evelyn. That woman is a saint.

So in the US, the joke is “I’m 10% Cherokee princess”, which is just a blonde white girls way of excusing their own racism when it inevitably falls out of their dumpster of a mouth.
I can usually disarm it with “yeah I’m half Japanese and half American, I can’t tell which side I hate the most”
I’m wondering if that Irish-German-Russian-Scottish is a similar “wise coverage” play? I don’t know, just guessing.

I do not deserve your award but let me fulfill your request and expand on my last paragraph.
Buy two beef short ribs per person. Look for the quantity of meat per rib. Marbling is less ideal in this method. The less fat, the better. A few mashing potato’s, asparagus, sliced almonds, paprika, your best tasting (not expensive) red wine, and unsalted butter. We’ll “salt n’ pepper to taste” later. Cheap fresh herbs like rosemary sprigs (leave on stem), thyme (annoying but take off stem), fresh bay leaf, and fresh sage (not too much, I use one big leaf). Stay with me if they’re worth it.
A few nights (1-3) before your event, stove on medium and oven set to 275°F/135°C. Sear your ribs in batches, on all sides. Sear the ribs in the same pot (with lid) that you’re going to put in the oven (described later). During the sear, if you “crowd” your pan, you will only steam the meat. It’s harder to get that nice sear/char. Remove from the pot and set aside. They shouldn’t be cooked to temp at this point, we will fully cook them soon.
Next on top of the fond, add your mirepoix. Adjust the amount by portion/pot size. With my Dutch oven that’s about (4) US cups of onion to (2) cups celery and (2) cups carrot with a pinch of salt for 5 ribs. Don’t worry about “cook till translucent”, let’s work on getting the fond off the bottom of your pot.
If the mirepoix doesn’t get the fond off, this next step will. Add your red wine and watch out for the steam, scrape the bottom of your pot with a wooden spoon and turn off the heat. For me, I think it’s about 4 cups or maybe 2/3rds of a bottle of wine.
Add your herbs, put your ribs back in the pot, lid on, and into your oven for 3.5-4 hours. When we talk about low and slow, it’s less about the temp and more about the time. Yes, you want the meat to be at 165- (ideally) 200°F or 73°-93°C but the most important part is that your pot has TIME to render the connective fibers that are chewy and often inedible without heat and time, like a diamond.
Remove the ribs set aside in a container(A). Strain the liquid into a container(B). Put the mirepoix into a container©. Refrigerate over night or up to 3 days. Use the herbs in another dish, freeze or throw away, your choice.
You’re still with me? Here’s the easy part that makes you look like a pro chef.
Heat an oven (air, toaster, wood, whatever) to 375F/195C. With a fork, peel the (now) solidified fat off the cold braising liquid… I save this to fry my morning eggs and toast with. Please don’t discard this gold if you can help it. Dump the rest of the braising liquid into a large sauce pan and set to the side. Trim the ends off the asparagus, toss in oil with paprika, a tiny bit of salt, and a generous helping of sliced almonds. Put in an oven safe dish, set aside. Peel your potato’s. I love quick and easy rustic potato’s but the skin doesn’t work in this recipe.
Ready and set, now let’s go!
Potato’s go to boil until fork tender. Set aside. Stove on medium, reduce the braising liquid by half, drop the stove to medium low and put the ribs in the (now) sauce, cover with a lid.
Put your asparagus mix into the oven for 20+/- mins while you drain and mash your potato’s with butter, a touch of salt, garlic powder, and a splash of milk. Go easy on the salt. Your braising liquid will already be pretty salty. The potato’s are meant to balance the dish.
By now the ribs should be heated through, the sauce gets a 1/4TBS of butter, spoon the sauce over the ribs, plate the mash and asparagus, lightly smash the ribs into the mash, and drizzle with your pan sauce.
No it’s not one long run on sentence, I’m an awful home cook but trying to get better with every dish. This recipe is easy, I swear. If they’re worth it, start here. This isn’t Mary me Chicken (like it’s a question), it’s “WITNESS MY FRENCH CUISINE FOR I AM YOUR CHEF AND YOU WILL NEVER GO UNSATISFIED”

Four French cooking terms that upped my game was mise en place, mirepoix, fond, and sauces mères.
-
Mise en plas. Everything in its place and prepped before cooking.
-
Mirepoix. 2part onion to 1part celery and 1part carrot and a little salt to draw out moisture.
-
Fond. the baked on bits bits of food that you deglaze using a liquid like stock to make…
-
Saices mères or Mother sauce. The beginning that all 5 famous French sauces share.
Demi-glas gets an honorable mention and is one of the simplest things you can do to make a dish seem fancy as fuck. Great for date night beef short ribs.

The females can host multiple males, some fishermen have reported 8 or more. The biggest limiting factor is them finding each other in the first place. They are solitary creatures and the ocean is fucking huge.

Like “he’s here for a good time, not a long time” kinda thing?
I think you’re putting that fillet on a pedestal. No flank is worth ceasing to exist😆
- Comment on How i meet your mother 2 weeks ago:
She will quite literally absorb the male until he’s nothing but a pair of gonads hanging off her side and she just takes the sperm when she wants. The male ceases to exist at that point. Brutal.

With the names that have already been released, the ringleader dead under mysterious circumstances, and lack of whistleblower protections… I’m assuming no one is stupid enough to leak/hack the information when there are legal paths to release the information (ie FOIA). Groups you cited like Anonymous act when no one else can or will.

No need to apologize at all! I like to use my story to help others realize they can flee a toxic relationship anytime they want and shouldn’t feel beholden to anyone including those who “brought you into this world”. God I hate that line so much, especially when it’s followed by “…and I can take you out of it too.”
I hope you find what you’re looking for. Best of luck, friend.

My father is a bi-polar narcissist and my mother is a bizarre kind of broken because of it. I fled home at 16 yo and looked back a few times, though I wish I didn’t. The few time I had a chance to ask questions about their past, the stories always changed.
It all broke down during the pandemic when they went full blown rightwing conspiracy theorists and science deniers trying to guilt me into letting them near my (then) newborn. At one point one of their “FBI friends” told them COVID was a hoax. We don’t have FBI friends.
With all that said… fuck em. My curiosity of the past doesn’t exceed how much it distresses me to be around them. My chosen family and I are looking towards the future. I know it hurts and I sometimes wake up in tears thinking about them. I wish you the best, friend. It gets better.

- Comment on Study concludes cybersecurity training doesn’t work 1 month ago:
I guess I don’t understand the metric of success. My training at work has helped me recognize risks more than most of my family that has no idea what root domain URL scam is. Did most of my family fail? Yes. Did 20% learn something and avoid risk? Yes.
In large companies the training is for liability purposes, “see they all passed their tests, we tried to warn them”. People are always going to be the attack vector, that’s unavoidable… but 20% success is better than 0% success. As an admin, if I received a 20% spike in phishing reports, that’s statistically significant and should be looked into and stopped (proxy violation).
Cost of training is unavoidable and budgeted for.
