I’m kind of surprised it took so long to see Trout Mask Replica here. Although the prompt was for an album you like, which might exclude it.

I’m not sure if I like it, but I definitely have the phrase “fast and bulbous” run through my head sometimes.

Always oatmeal raisin. A lot of the other options you present seem too sweet without introducing any more complex flavors or new textures.

My mom does bulgur wheat and it does a pretty good job at the texture. I prefer to do canned chickpeas run through a food processor just until roughly chopped, or use a potato masher. Readd the drained liquid after. Both work great, but I’d rather have more beans than wheat in my diet.

Every time I make chili it’s a toss up for what recipe I use. Meat or no meat, chili powder or dried chilis. There are a lot of great ways to make it and it’s hard to stay put.

Same. I won’t ask for someone to not put it on in the burger, but I’m not going near the any fries that have seen ketchup.

As a kid I definitely liked it. As an adult, it’s way too sweet.

Lots of great ways to serve spinach here already. A few more:

• Veggie lasagna. Be sure to wilt and squeeze out excess moisture, otherwise you can end up with a soggy lasagna
• Strata with bacon
• Creamed, and cooked low and slow. Spinach slowly releasing its juices into milk/cream is incredible. Usually with a cheese similar to gruyere or comte. Be sure to grate in some nutmeg. Scratches a similar itch to saag if you want something like that but different
• Florentine anything, but I’m partial to omelettes
• As with most darker leafy greens, added soup or pesto (or if you have a better term for the non-basil family of uncooked smashed leaf/oil/salt/nut or seed/cheese sauces)

Lemon juice too! But yes, this is one of the many great ways to eat spinach

There aren’t tortillas in the house, there are materials for making them. The husband’s lockdown hobby was making tortillas.

There isn’t a good word that signifies just the citrus that look and taste more or less like oranges.

Sorry, I should’ve realized that could read as ambiguous or nonsense.

To rephrase: Navel oranges are the worst variety of fruits that taste approximately like an orange.

At least where I’m from orange on it’s own can mean either navel orange, or any similar fruit like tangerine, mandarin, or clementine.

I had a friend insist carrots must be peeled, and that the peels are inedible.

I once gave a coworker a bit of prosciutto. She told me it was spicy.

Overall, this may also be related to a persistent refusal to distinguish between spicy and spices.

Oranges are the worst kind of orange. They taste quite good, but if I need to use tools to eat it, I want something at least as good as a grapefruit.

The linked page is just the new additions to the list. If you go to the full list of recommended extensions that’s where uBlock Origin is at the top.

I’m not a fan of it, but if I’m remembering correctly, only up to about 2% of views come from the subscriptions page.

This means a channel has to attract a lot of folks from other areas, and this requires somehow grabbing people. YouTube has tools for A/B testing thumbnails and titles. Channels that have tried clickbait vs normal thumbnails have found normal just doesn’t generate clicks.

So unless YouTube revenue makes up a small enough percent of a channel’s income, the channel is basically forced into using it. Even if they find it just as distasteful as we do.

Source: I think this is something Tom Scott went into at some point. The information is likely a few years out of date, but I wouldn’t expect that it’s changed radically.

I’m honestly more baffled and annoyed at how low usage of subscriptions is, than I am at clickbait. It makes it seem like this problem stems more from an audience desire to be spoonfed by an inscrutable algorithm than from anything to do with clickbait itself, or choices freely made by channels.

This might be even more important.

I agree with the sentiment, but it’s worth noting that the current excesses of CEO compensation through stock incentives are a response to a poorly implemented attempt to curb high CEO salaries.

We do need to reign in CEO compensation, but directly going after wages made the problem worse. I don’t see the article addressing this, but a Clinton-era policy aimed to curb excessive CEO wages. IIRC the ratio of CEO pay to lowest paid worker within the same company was as bad as 30:1 at the time, but has since ballooned to hundreds: 1.

Maybe something as simple as capping stock incentives at N% of total compensation could work. But we’d need to make sure we’re not just encouraging a new way to skirt around the legislation like last time.

When I was online dating I would definitely hit a limit of how many folks I was able to talk to.

I’d stop engaging with the match component at that point, until I had more time/energy to talk to someone new, but some were already out there.

It can also be a mismatch in expectations about first messages. I’d generally start on the short end, and messages would naturally get a bit longer over time.

Conventions for your dating app may be different, but as both a recipient and a sender I generally found these guidelines to be true: “hey how are you?” might be too short and not engaging enough. Anything longer than 2 sentences might be too long and overly forward.

That cheese has had most of the moisture cooked or aged out.

This is very different from a pizza where even if you did cook the cheese like that, it’s often sitting on a layer of wet sauce.

Or even more granular. There’s folks that make a large number of posts that I do like in some comms, and a large number of ones I don’t care about in other comms.

If they’re the main one making low effort posts in the Weevil community or whatever, but everyone else is great, it would be preferable to prune the community for myself instead of blocking it or them.

I still think they’re a net positive for Lemmy and want to interact with them, just we may not like all the same things in the exact same way.

I used to work at a summer academic program. I don’t know how expensive it was, but some of the students were quite wealthy.

One 13 year old international student was homesick, and to try to get them to agree to stick it out, their parents promised to buy them a new car if they stayed.

The food was generally good enough to pass for restaurant food or a corporate cafeteria. It was on a college campus, so I think it may have been the same staff and repertoire as the school year. Sometimes there would be something more interesting like fried plantains. The staff would flock to it and the kids would ignore it.

Kids by and large didn’t care. Some still stuck to their beige diets aggressively; only eating hot dogs, plain chicken, white bread, vanilla ice cream, etc.

One year before the kids showed up there was a chilled strawberry and mint soup that I’ll still occasionally try to find a recipe for. I don’t even care for mint.
