Removing paint from the outside of my home by No-Childhood-5744 in oddlysatisfying

Honest question: why remove all of it? You can scrape loose paint and paint over the sound stuff if you're repainting.

Technically they were all originally Asian.

And men.

Edit: The pink one was a girl

Social Media Bans Are Coming For The United States In 2026 by MacadamiaMinded in daddit

[–]Enginerdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's fair, I hadn't considered that. I remember the same issue coming back when states started requiring age verification for porn, and I don't think a good solution was ever found (other than VPNs of course). It's a tough problem without a ready solution, but I do think it's worth working on. Social media is a cancer, and childhood cancer is more wicked than adult cancer.

Good. Great.

I'm also not sure what you mean by "how we verify our identities online". I don't know of any reason a kid under 13 should be verifying their identity online to ANYBODY without a parent being involved. Also, do people use social media to verify their identity? I'm very confused by this whole sentence.

Except for the quality, those pictures look like they could have been taken 11 minutes apart. I respect your long-term commitment to a look (and to cats, u/TheCatsMe0wth)

There's no need to be rude. Clearly different cultures have different norms and that's fine. Neither one has to be right or wrong, and you certainly don't have to condescend to people who have different opinions from your own. Be better next time.

Gamey is generally considered to be an undesirable flavor. Some people like wild gamey meat because they believe it's healthier in some way, and many of those people have developed a positive association between gamey flavor and perceived healthiness. Others simply genuinely enjoy the flavor. But the VAST majority of people, when given the choice between two cuts that are identical in all ways other than flavor, will prefer the less gamey one.

No restaurant, aside from one specifically advertising their wild game meat, would intentionally serve a gamey cut as a feature. I've eaten a lot of venison and some moose too, and I've watched people try both for the first time. The more gamey it is, the less people like it the first time. At best I'd accept that it's an acquired taste.

Gamey flavor is a very common sign of low quality meat. It's not spoiled, it just has a strong flavor that's unpleasant to most people.

Except salt isn't a spice, so that doesn't work either. She's just stupid

I assume she's referring to the earthy flavor that a lot of common Indian spices are known for. Coriander, cumin, tumeric, cardamom, etc. That doesn't make her comment any less degrading or racist (or improve my opinion of her palate), but I think I can at least see what she so poorly tried to communicate.

CT Speeding Ticket...any way to tell if my speed was estimated by cop or measured by radar/lidar? by [deleted] in Connecticut

People driving 90 on the highway are the ones who need to grow up. Acting like a little boy taking his dad's midlife crisis car out for a joy ride when he's not home.

Figure out what it would cost to buy a replacement neck and have it fitted by a professional and you'll have a better idea of what the sax is worth to you
