Former head chef: Yes. Our pastry chef was the alchemist and I was the magebomb.

It’s a shame because waterworld absolutely holds up and I will die on this hill.

Most of them don’t, in my experience. Experience which stems from a game I made up called “See how many rooms you can get into before someone kicks you out of the building.” We had a better name for it but I forgot, it’s been a while since I had enough people to play with.

Looks like people are doing the same thing to the handicapped spot behind it. The locals are chaotic and have no gods.

Are you thinking of Namasu? justonecookbook.com/namasu-daikon-and-carrot-sala…
I was a chef at a vegan/veggie restaurant, here are a few easy ways to work in veggies:
Chickpea salad:
Mixed drained and rinsed canned chickpeas with diced anything and a dressing of your choice. I make a simple dressing with olive oil, apple cider vinegar(just a splash,) cumin and greek seasoning. My favorite things to mix in are: red onions, bell peppers and parsley.
Everything nachos:
Take a can of mixed beans, drained and rinsed, and mix in taco seasoning. Put them on your nachos under the cheese. Broil at 450F for 5-7 minutes.
Other things to add: Diced peppers, diced pickles of any kind(surprisingly good,) red onion, avocado and carrots.
Veggie chips: Thinly slice beets, carrots, parsnip, potatoes, whatever, and toss with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake at 425F for 10-15mins.
Alternatively, fry the sliced veggies in a pot of oil, then toss with seasoning.

What.

Same here. I’m glad it allows for growth and forks rather than a collapse when schisms occur. It’s why I keep saying I don’t like piefed, but I’m glad it’s there.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 2 weeks ago:
It depends on your values and what kind of experience you want. For me, I couldn’t find a piefed instance that met all my criteria.
I wanted no instances blocked, no flagged users for low karma (I didn’t want karma to matter at all,) able to see greentext communities (4chan screenshots are blocked on some, if not all piefed instances,) and be able to see the modlog.
Piefed has additional features that lemmy lacks, like following individual users and multi-coms, but it wasn’t enough to get me to switch.
I like the openness of the lemmyverse, since there’s more room for individuality between the instances without a developer ideologically holding the reins, though I’ve heard Rimu has walked back their more controversial decisions. For all the criticisms of ML and Grad, the developers affiliations don’t pollute the wider fediverse.
Whichever you choose, make sure you look into the instances as well, since they have unique features, blocklists, and supports for apps.

I give most people grace.
Keeping myself above water, mentally, is a daily routine. I done some stupid, weird shit for the wrong reasons and have been very close to other people who’ve done the same. The worst part about mental health problems like ours is the inability to see the whole picture when you’re inside it.
Maybe he’s an asshole, maybe he’s going through shit, maybe both. I know for sure that whatever I believe has absolutely no bearing on this situation and everything to do with my own mindset, so I condemn the actions and choose grace.

He pushed a shadowban list into his code, complained that everyone didn’t like it (comments locked,) complained that no one liked his explanation (comments locked,) then ragequit because it’s all a big conspiracy against him.
It’s sad to see someone who seems to want to do the right thing this bad fall victim to some kind of savior complex where they completely fail to empathize with the people they want to save.
Leaving is the best course of action for him. I hope he has a chance to reflect on all this, since self reflection was clearly not a priority for him.

One of my friends told me to start germinating my seeds in the fridge, now I’m getting like 4 out of 5 germinations instead of 1 in 3. I just put them in a bag with a wet paper towel for a couple weeks and they start growing.

I see a number of different opinions and cultures, which is why I chose my instance. .Today doesn’t block, so I can pick what I want to see and browse by subscribed.
Scrolling the All feed on .world tends to be more of an echo chamber than selecting about a hundred individual communities to check regularly.

This has to be trolling. An LLM can put out a more coherent screenplay and lines that make sense. This is a parody of AI.

- Comment on I am someone who works out daily and sweats a lot. Just doing laundry doesn't seem to adequately clean the underarms of my shirts. What are some ways to clean these areas of my clothing better? 1 month ago:
Some of the other tips are covered (aluminum in deodorant is a big cause of stains) so I’d recommend clothing made of natural fibres like cotton, bamboo and wool. They have natural antibacterial properties and are easier to strip stains out of with basic detergents and vinegar.
