That's a really common thing in those food style lists the internet loves. There are a couple "regional styles" of bbq that were really just a thing one or two people did until people got obsessed with listing out all the kinds of bbq they could find.

Oh, for sure, I agree with all this. I've just noticed that in big parts of the greater internet the distinction between the two is vanishing so I have a knee jerk reaction to defend the former. I also spent a few years in my late 20s in a friend group that didn't (I once had to write out an...

The characters are a big part of what sets it apart from other LitRPG stuff I've had the misfortune to read. The fact that the characters also think the AI's pop culture humor is as dumb as I do helps too.

I'm of two minds about this. I do find that most of the people doing it are not really adding much more, or worse, are there to argue. And if it's thing I notice someone doing habitually it makes me start to consider putting them on ignore. But sometimes when I don't like something I want to...

Currently a lot of places near me are doing collaborations with bands for Warped Tour, so I decided to try the I Have A Date Shake and Anarchy Burger (Hold the Government) combo. The former is just a normal date shake, and not a sandwich, so I won't talk more about it. The latter has charred...

I like dance music and I like pho but I don't think I'd like both of them at the same time, that is certainly a choice.

I've had cinnamon on a pizza that was very good before, tree bark is ok in my book

It's incredible how much some people can type out without ever really saying anything.

Sonic was my favorite fast food place as a kid. The expansive drink menu, the fact it was a drive in, and the fact that eating there was synonymous with visiting my grandparents all really helped it out. I don't know how much of that is the quality going down, the lack of other options I'd...

This is definitely true, and that's why my defense of the book banners is very mild.

In these people's very mild defense, ime as someone who grew up around and of them, they do want explicit hetero stuff banned too.

Some days I will see a person I've ignored posting, decide to view the blocked content, and change my mind about ignoring them. Today was not one of those days.

I just flat out reject the argument this is the only real way to force companies to do that. If this is really something you're concerned about your kids coming across (I have never come across any of them in all the years I've been on Steam), doesn't Steam already have parental controls?

A lot recipes lean on bacon for them because, well, bacon is delicious and pork pairs nicely with brassica. But imo as a former brussels sprouts hater you can use a neutral oil in a more moderate amount (to a point, some of it's just a necessity like with salt) and they still come out great.

You can make some really excellent fries in an air fryer, with a little bit of effort.

Using fresh potatoes isn't necessarily an improvement. In n Out gets all their potatoes fresh, you can watch them cut and fry them. They're terrible. I've seen plenty of high end cooks (all the way up to 3 star Michelin places) talk about how they use frozen on account of how consistent the...

It does, to some extent, but almost every form of food preservation does and the difference between fresh and frozen food is not going to matter for almost anyone living in a developed country. It's also an odd thing to bring up talking about french fries. I had a hard time picking an option...

I guess I should have been a little more clear here. I understand going no contact with family members over serious things, I have an uncle for instance that big chunks of my family have completely shunned for very valid reasons (he's an unpleasant naughty word who thinks people should defer to him...

In my experience, if having a lot of options is a thing they care about they'll just drive to the closest place with options as often as they can afford to.

A few years ago I read a Chinese cookbook where the author briefly discussed asking people how they dealt with the smell, because vent vans are (or were, most of the people she was talking to were members of the Chinese Diaspora who left in the early to mid 20th century) very uncommon and they...
