If you forget to salt the pasta water, there’s no way of making it taste as if you had. And even if the salt dissolves well in the sauce, it won’t permeate whatever chunky things there might be in the sauce as if you’d salted a lit bit every step of the way. But yeah, it’ll be ok, even if it won’t be as good as it would have been. (I know you didn’t say it would be the same, just wanted to add).

I was like this about books as a teen, one time i accidentally pulled an all nighter on a school night. Well, I realized it was 5am and figured there’s no point in sleeping for 2 hours.

We had Minecraft and Lego as kids as well and still played outside a lot. I thought that mix was still mostly normal, is it not?
- Comment on Why is the word "defense" avoided in reporting and rhetorics around Ukraine? 1 week ago:
What does it mean? I’m not a native English speaker
- Comment on Why is the word "defense" avoided in reporting and rhetorics around Ukraine? 1 week ago:
Not quite, because there’s also (justified) retaliation going on
- Comment on Why is the word "defense" avoided in reporting and rhetorics around Ukraine? 1 week ago:
It also makes sense for good, honest journalists to use this language. Because they’re trying to be neutral and leaving the opinion forming up to the reader, as far as they can. They want to let the facts speak for themselves. Even if they’re pro Ukraine, they want the facts to convince you to be pro Ukraine, not their phrasing.
So, regardless of whether they’re rage baiting, paid off by Russia, or trying to do honest journalists, it always makes more sense to use neutral language rather than having a pro Ukraine bias.

I’ve tried cowashing before! I have a lot of hair, but thin individual strands, and it kinda made it too hydrated (idk how else to explain) so I lost my waves.

Do you never use shampoo? I personally only even wet my hair once or twice a week, then wash with shampoo though.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t want to go into it in the original comment, but yes. It is a relevant debate whether it’s vegan to swallow another humans semen, or even saliva. And yes, it is, if the human consents. Consent is the more or less the basis of whether vegans find it moral to consume something. Humans can give consent to sharing their fluids. Other animals cannot.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
Bees make honey for their hive. Honey also does indeed contain bodily fluids from the bees.
The bread making human consents to you taking the bread (presumably). Breast milk and other human bodily fluids can be vegan for the same reason.
And insects pollinate plants not because they use the fruit, but for the nectar. They don’t care what happens after they leave the flower.

You avoid an avoidable luxury, yet you do not avoid something unavoidable that’s necessary. Curious.
- Comment on [Opinion] Why do so many cozy games suck? 1 month ago:
Imo what’s key to a cosy game is that you choose within the game how much you want to challenge yourself. Take stardew, for example. My mum was content just farming crops. I went into the difficult mines with lots of combat etc. You can enjoy the game if you don’t do the hard parts, or you can do them sparsely, or all the time. You choose, and that’s what makes it so relaxing.
- Comment on [Opinion] Why do so many cozy games suck? 1 month ago:
I’m not a hardcore gamer, but usually mostly in RPGs. But I’ve also got hundreds of hours in stardew and thousands in the Sims. When I play one of those, I’m always low key scared to grow bored because I LOVE those games and I know that there won’t be another good one right around the corner.
When I got bored of Skyrim, I played the Witcher, and when I got bored of that, I played Fallout. Repeat ad nauseam, because there’s more playable, entertaining RPGs out there than any one human could play in a lifetime.
With cosy games, not so much. When you grow bored of one, chances are, there won’t be another one that’ll be enjoyable to you at all, and you’ll have to hope and wait that something good will come out at some point.
- Comment on elucidating 🤌🏼 2 months ago:
A bit of a more serious comment on that: knowledge is never useless. Many, maybe most, researchers agree with that. It’s why we do what we do. Publishers and sources of funding (be they third party or governmental), however, disagree. So we have to sell them on the importance of our research this way.

6 yr relationship, never planned to marry, in case it matters. The lack of communication I was talking about was him eating ahead of time in secret rather than telling his wife that sharing would mean that they’d need more food in order for him to have enough.

- Comment on The opposite of shopaholic: shopcell 2 months ago:
English isn’t my native language, I thought it referred to business as in office. Because other jobs definitely don’t keep those hours.
Also I was genuinely curious, id never heard of that. Everything is open at least 8-6 here. Cultural differences I guess.
- Comment on The opposite of shopaholic: shopcell 2 months ago:
Wtf kind of shop is only open for 8 hours a day, and business hours at that. I’ve never witnessed that

The person intently listening to what another person is doing on the toilet is calling the person who’s minding their (pun intended) business in what they think is private a psychopath. Nice.

- Comment on 🥲🥲🤡 4 months ago:
The problem is that the average working class person doesn’t have a lot of time where they also have energy and don’t have to do chores. In that state, most people aren’t receptive for learning and enjoying culture. And it’s very understandable.

- Comment on Female-to-male rape, (how) does it happen without roofies? 4 months ago:
It can also happen after you consent to SOME intimate acts, but not others, and the other person can take you by surprise. (That one has happened to me, im not male though)
- Comment on Female-to-male rape, (how) does it happen without roofies? 4 months ago:
Power over another person, the prerequisite for most sexual violence, doesn’t have to come from superior physical strength. It could come from an age difference, a professor-student or boss-employee dynamic, or some form of blackmail, for example. And the body can experience physical arousal in response to the right stimuli even when you don’t want to have sex. You can also do acts of sexual violence that do not require an erect penis.
- Comment on non vegan pizza time 5 months ago:
Think about dairy what you will, but ‘I didn’t do it, I paid someone else to do it’ is never a very solid argument in a debate on ethics.
- Comment on non vegan pizza time 5 months ago:
Im sorry, but what kind of mammal biology are you talking about that says that two different types of milk come from the same animal?
Also, milk production usually does go down somewhat over time and sometimes even does cease, and it’s different for every individual, which makes it less predictable and less profitable to just impregnate a cow once. This is why dairy farmers almost always try to impregnate their cows yearly. Here’s one source, there’s plenty more coming up if you look it up on a search engine though www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/farm/…/farming
