  I’d imagine soapy feet hits different, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what would one win...?⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a shame, I prefer PvE cooperative pooping with friends which is already bad enough with season play. Plus, it’s probably pay to win (gacha 5 star toilet paper is so OP!).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah, Beans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh that does sound so good! I only ever have it as saag paneer or tikka masala, but smoked and as a snack sounds great in an Asian sauce.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah, Beans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t think of any that mimic the process of tofu, given it requires coagulation. The closest is cheese, specifically paneer. Maybe imitations, like with gelatin, but not in the same way as tofu.

  So why not? I’m not sure, as you can make a paste from chickpeas (hummus), beans, or lentils. But you kind of need to make a milk out of it, coagulate that liquid, mold and press the mixture. Do those mixtures create milky liquid if cooked? Do they react to chemicals to coagulate into a curd?

  Given I never see bean or lentil milk, I think that’s the bottleneck. Nor almond or oat milk tofu, although I bet that’s a safer bet. I think soy just fulfills certain requirements and it’s kind of genius that people even figured out how to make tofu in the first place!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a community keeps posting post will it show up as more active and thus drawing more users? Even if it's one person who posts a lot?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a simple user. I go with an All feed with 6hr filter, then just check regularly. I usually get bored around the time I’m hitting the posts with 20 to 30 net positive votes, but sometimes go all the way if I’m killing time a lot that day. Gives a lot of pretty interesting stuff without getting too crazy or upsetting.

  All this is to say, a single user posting four times a day with enough up votes to push it up to 20 net positive up votes and I’ll probably see it. But I only ever comment and upvote, so it’s not as good as getting a secondary poster or lifelong community member.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broomsticks? What is this? The Dark Ages?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it depends on how you sit. I’d probably take either a meditative lotus pose or maybe a whimsical cross legs with a cup of tea, so no, not gangsta.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amanda⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  More the reason to rescue them when able, to keep them out of that environment. It’s fucked how easy it is to buy them in some places, but it’s illegal in places for reasons you mention.

  I ended up with mine because an idiot roommate thought it was a good idea to buy two for his estranged wife as a lunar new years gift. After being shipped twice, I found the surviving one in my sink with a busted eye and a broken digit, so I nursed it back to health and gave it a 55 gallon tank.

  That was 10 years ago and without a doubt, that idiot roommate never got back with his estranged wife either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I regret to inform you all that I will not be purchasing the OoT remake.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am also not buying the remake, but honestly mostly because I’m an achievement whore. SoH doesn’t support RetroAchevements though, but I’m ok being a purist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*Throws grenade and runs*⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps we give it a pass in a post-scarcity world? When capitalism isn’t in the picture, it’s not taking jobs or ruining the environment or anything like that.

  Although, you kinda still have to “write” a holodeck program and it also seems to be slightly harder than prompting or they’d be doing it on the fly a bit more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, we have the same desktop today, huh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you can date the time period by popular catch phrases⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Patient gamer here. Wife and I said that catchphrase in 2015. Don’t trust this method when time traveling!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 85% of Japanese game developers use generative AI in game development, 2026 CESA survey shows. An increase from last year’s 51%⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, this tracks. My wife’s at a company that has both JP and US branches and the JP side seems a lot more chill with generative AI (although they learned already not to use it in production, only internal visuals and planning). It’s rather unfortunate, although hard to say if they would have hired an illustrator or just gone without visuals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will not be opening for Ed Sheeran⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought I was a weird choice to open for him, given I give psychology lectures for a living, but I made the decision not to open for Ed Sheeran following the silencing of Macklemore by zionist lobbies.

  I am a traditional lecturer who never saw myself presenting to stadiums of that size and that opportunity is not lost on me. I have not been friends with Ed for over 10 years and will continue not to be. I believe in dialogue as a means of processing the plight of the Palestinian people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xdekonmmlccf⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol wtf, I just played and beat Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky for the first time and I see a meme for it? Ha.

  Btw, great story full of existential dread and other serious themes like being overwhelmed, or loss of a loved one. A weirdly good story for an IP with terrible stories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Genius idea. Somehody should share this with the antivaxxers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh how I wish more antivaxxers chugged bleach…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We being set up⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Truth be told, dragon dancers still win so often against everyone else, but the bar is pretty low. Lol

  I am on a retro fix lately and adore my Gen V Volcarona with Quiver Dance, but in that generation, my Ferrothorn saves me more often than not. Still, can’t do competitive with those DS games though, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We being set up⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To add, it’s even worse if you know sweepers and how fast they can decimate your team; they usually have protection to one shot KO and decent speed.

  Except there’s perhaps a third bored looking Spongebob with the counter ready to go, as you should always be ready to counter a Swords Dance sweeper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding a job tier list:⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife got my sister a job, although she still had hoops to jump. I think that’s probably B?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are sitting on the bike lane or parking on it. Saint Denis, France⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can kind of understand the sitters, but the parked motorcycles are just wrong. (Also they really should have better dedicated places for people to sit, but c’est la vie as they say)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Throwback to a simpler time⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s never too late to Picross (no really, Jupiter still makes them for Nintendo and you can find them on switch, and you can always pirate them if you have ethical concerns!)

  If you want a different flavor, there’s also Final Fantasy Pictlogica (also Jupiter made) but the most recent version is a defunct freemium mobile game. Go 3DS emulation for it.

  Oh and honorable mention to indie game Murder By Numbers, although I felt like that was more VN than Picross.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨currently busy 😅⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I uh… I said “Hello there.” It was instinct.

  I’m a little sad they didn’t say “General Kenobi” but you can’t win them all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what peak dining looks like⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An interesting twist in LA, they mostly sell amazing Mexican food, including the authentic stuff, but somehow also pancakes, burgers, and gyros (?!) that are also passable.

  Also maybe an arcade machine, but more likely a drive thru that probably isn’t supposed to be there (especially since the food still takes 20 minutes to make).

  Yes I have a place in mind and no I won’t be sharing it. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never liked these. Too sticky and high in calories. My GF has always loved them⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was younger I would sometimes take several in a day, but looking back on it, it was a pretty unhealthy lifestyle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don’t need 75-inch TVs, we need 75% off basic survival. 💀⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, yes and no, there are transport costs and stuff, plus you have operational costs. But they definitely mark up prices by a lot, especially things made in house like their cookies and muffins. Muffins start at $6, they get a mark down to $4 after a day, and probably more but they usually sell at $4. If you consider labor prices, energy cost, and ingredients, that day-old price is still pretty profitable.

  You want corruption though, I’m glad Albertsons didn’t get the merger with Kroger/Ralph’s. They already do piss poor quality at high prices for no reason, but I’m also certain they’ve tried to bribe their way into that merger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don’t need 75-inch TVs, we need 75% off basic survival. 💀⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously… It’s so randomly priced, lol. $13 soup? 25 cent bell pepper? $40 herbal supplement?

  But I will defend their $4.50 milk, everyone caught up on prices anyway but I swear it tastes better. Same with the $4 eggs that… At one point during the eggdemic, was the cheapest eggs on market. They didn’t even raise their price, they just have different suppliers than Target next door selling shit eggs for $8 a dozen. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don’t need 75-inch TVs, we need 75% off basic survival. 💀⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My local Sprouts occasionally puts old or discontinued products for 99 cents and I end up feeling like it’s a fucking holiday. Like, fuck yeah I’ll take these discontinued lemon and poppy seed cookies no one wanted.

  I think they have an anti waste policy, cause those sales get real heavy sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kudos to you for posting for the sake of denying them. I won’t watch because I’d rather keep blind; I actually really enjoyed GTAV (once it was on PC and sold for next to nothing lol) and I’ll probably get this several years after release the same way. I’m remarkably good at avoiding spoilers for unreasonable amounts of time (e.g. I found out the cake was a lie a decade after Portal released, lol).

  Also fyi, GTA games are generally good and you can tell the writers and world builders had fun with it despite their shit management. It’s not a bad idea to pirate or buy at a strict discount to at least see the story they created. Plus, I’m an LA native and GTAV is practically a documentary!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your sign is the wrong way, you’re asking for a price tag greater than $50, hehe.

  But I agree!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Famous hit song. But you are probably too young to get it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My 4yo likes the line “teacher leave those kids alone!” She sings it quite loudly, but I don’t think she quite gets the meaning of the song, hehe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elevator was taking forever. No problem. Needed to take a quick squirt anyway⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a lot funnier when the door opens to just the toilet in view, no door but the elevator door.
