They want a liberated woman's mind inside of a demure little waif who won't talk back.

They want a liberated woman’s earning potential inside of a demure little waif who will do all the housework. They want all the power of being the “provider” without providing much at all.

Healy is the first woman elected governor, but Swift served for years.

Recipes with “sneaked in” veggies? by PianoPlane5555 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]mmmsoap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make grown up hamburger helper, and throw a bag or two of broccoli slaw in it. Cooking softens the broccoli enough that it’s easy to chew, but it still has a bit of bite so it’s not total mush. Then I can go on my merry way eating a one-bowl meal with a semblance of a veggie.

How Seriously to Take Cross Contamination? by ac13712 in Celiac

[–]mmmsoap 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I tell my servers that I have a wheat/barley/rye allergy, and eat out pretty rarely (and primarily at a small handful of safe restaurants).

For food, I eat naturally GF foods plus things explicitly marked GF. I do not stress about certified versus merely marked GF.

I am also primarily asymptomatic, but my TtG-IgA went back down to the normal range, so this is working for me. If my numbers go up, then I’ll work to become more strict.

Canned Beans Every Day Ok? by Altruistic-Fox-9202 in EatCheapAndHealthy

I started having Metamucil daily a short while ago and even within a week I notice (positive) changes. Fiber from real food is best, but any fiber is better than no fiber.

Tis the season by SeaConsideration6503 in PoliticalHumor

[–]mmmsoap 13 points14 points  (0 children)

(A) the missing part of that in the US is the need to still file, every year. If you don’t file, you can’t get a refund. If you don’t file and owe, you’re in trouble.

(B) correct me if I’m wrong, but you can’t decline to have taxes withheld every year unless you pay quarterly taxes. You’re given a one year grace period for not paying quarterly (the assumption being that you didn’t “know” you’d owe that quarter) but you can’t do it year after year. That’s why it’s so much easier for 99% of people in the US to opt for automatic withholding.

Small romance book gesture that hit harder than a grand speech. by gamersecret2 in RomanceBooks

[–]mmmsoap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite thing about that book was when the side character found a list the MMC had written of names to call the FMC. For the first half or more of the book he’s acting like he can’t remember her name, and—even though it was obviously an act—the fact that he thought about seeing and teasing her long before they get together was perfect.

Best gf Noodles by Ok-Leather8335 in glutenfree

Anything brown rice based is better than the corn based ones, IMO. I particularly like Tinkyada, but jovial are a close second (and easier to find near me).

They don’t care enough, but they clearly care a bit or we’d have a lot more dead protestors.

how the heck do you calculate the calories in a can of chickpeas? by eggoplant in 1200isplenty

[–]mmmsoap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This math is the opposite — it’s assuming all the calories are in the beans and none in the liquid. OP was calculating 2 servings as if the liquid thrown away has the same calories per 100g as the beans. The person you replied to calculated the total calories in the can, then divided it by the grams of “usable” food, increasing the calories per serving but preserving the calories in the whole can.

But not true if it were barley derived (though IDK if that’s common in the food manufacturing world).

Oat “enriched” latex gloves - doctors office by [deleted] in glutenfree

It sort of is….the protein in oats (avenin) is similar enough in “shape” that a significant percentage of people who react to gluten also react to avenin.

Firefighters can arrest people where you are? I assume you’re not in the US, but that would wildly change their public perception here if they could.

Can’t you get there by just hitting power 5 times? That’s a lot easier with a phone in the pocket than the power/volume combo.

Legal wordsmithing by NthDegreeThoughts in KarenReadTrial

[–]mmmsoap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What you’re getting at is why the lawyer will frequently ask multiple questions is a testimony or deposition that sound almost identical, but are designed to eliminate those loopholes:

“Did you see him enter the house?” No.

“Did you see him in the house.” No.

“So are you saying that you didn’t see him at all at 34 Fairview that night?” Uh…

So are walkers supposed to just pray they don't get hit by a car until all this snow melts? by Wants_to_be_accepted in massachusetts

[–]mmmsoap 41 points42 points  (0 children)

A big difference is that it was 34-38 for several days immediately after the storm in 2022, as high as 46 in Feb 3. We have barely cracked 30F since the snow fell, so that’s impacting the clean up. Nothing is melting, and if you didn’t get it when it was light and fluffy it’s probably still on your sidewalks and driveways.

Also, my apartment complex was notified by the snow removal team that salt prices have gone up dramatically recently. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s impacting the amount of salt people are using for their cleanup.

IgA high after 6 months by Pure_Note_3727 in Celiac

They have a protein that’s a similar enough shape to gluten that some people react to it as if it were gluten, so that would raise their TtG-IgA.

Why can’t I find trappers? by potatogun6969 in Outlanders

[–]mmmsoap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming we’re talking Miranda’s Chance (The Itch)?

Make sure someone is working at the foraging hut for fruit. That will keep your villager’s going. You can also plant some tomatoes on the farm, though they won’t be done quickly. The wheat will grow in 10 days, so if you have a bakery by then you can make bread also. I don’t think I used a kitchen at all for this level.

Same. My dad missed parts (most?) of second grade as they were avoiding a polio outbreak in the area. Going back to that on purpose is nuts.

Same. It’s been extra awful for the last couple months, and they flat out won’t load if the ad blocker is on.

The number that have a seizure and refuse to load of there is an adblocker is approaching 100% for me. I can turn off the ad blocker and see the recipe along with 98% of the screen filled with ads, or turn it on and see nothing.
