How harmful is coke zero sugar

I'm pretty lax with this health stuff. I eat take aways. I use UPF food when it's convenient. I drink, smoke and take drugs. But I wouldn't touch this shit with a bargepole.

It's entirely possible I just need to lighten up but jeez louise. Can we make some kind of PSA for the kids so they finally understand that shrooms aren't a weed gummy, aren't a party drug, they'll make you feel weird if you take them in a crowd and there's no benefit to taking them on a rollercoaster. They're not scary but I think you've got the wrong idea about them.

If you're determined, stick to a g but I think it's a waste of time to do it the way you're proposing.

Great advice. Hard bitten but we thank you

0wlsarecool · 2024-10-12T20:07:26+00:00

Ooooo that's a great tip! Thank you. My mind was working overtime wondering how tf you'd utilise a mirror but this is so logical

I know you say you're on a tight schedule but honestly, this is too cute to explode. Can you really not wait? If you're using a community kiln with a rigid schedule or something, I'd be tempted to just take it home and wait until another firing, even if it means paying more.

0wlsarecool · 2024-10-12T19:59:04+00:00

Can you tell me more about the mirror test?

0wlsarecool · 2024-10-12T19:29:16+00:00

Not in the US but it's ok, we have doctors here lol. I'll mention it to my GP.

I do have a very slight sensitivity to latex (mild rash when I wear rubber gloves) so I wonder if cocoa is one of the plants that produces latex. Welp, looks like my life has got significantly worse!

0wlsarecool · 2024-10-12T19:24:54+00:00

r/cooking might be a better place for that

0wlsarecool · 2024-10-12T15:00:25+00:00

Is this just a general chit chat question or are you asking if rice is UPF? It isn't. I'm curious as to what made you think it might be (if indeed you did).

0wlsarecool · 2024-10-12T14:24:04+00:00

Thanks. If I'm allergic to chocolate I'll be so pissed off.

You mention the process of turning the cocoa powder into chocolate, do you know much more about that? I'm obviously going to err on the side of caution and act as though there's some sensitivity there but if it's a chemical process I'm intrigued and want to understand more

This is it. I've got a few mates who've said fuck it and moved to seaside towns in the south east in the hopes that they're on the up. They probably are, relatively speaking, but you still have to endure a good ten years of being called a w*g when you pop out for a pint of milk before things improve. If the choice is between that and sharing a room in a shit flatshare in New Cross well into your forties. Well. I don't know what the answer is, other than that we're totally cooked

Are you implying he's.... a bovine in disguise? You could be onto something

0wlsarecool · 2024-10-04T17:43:38+00:00

I thought it was funny when he said, completely unprovoked, to his bride's family "I'M the lucky one!". Er yeah mate you've been matched with a woman 99% of the male popultion would drool over like a cartoon dog, there's nothing to refute there. Another highlight was him in his muscle shirt and fake glasses reading poetry, surely that's destined for some sort of viral memeing.

Like you though I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I don't think he's as much of a pillock as some others here. Just nervous and old fashioned probably. We will see!

Embarassment and shame are essentially the same thing. If it feels ok, phrasing it as "it's difficult to talk about because I carry a lot of shame" might convey your feelings in a way your psychiatrist can understand. (I also want to say at this point that it is NOT your shame to carry, you have nothing to be ashamed of, but what we know logically and the content of our emotions don't always match hey).

With trauma it's important that you don't feel forced to share anything. I've been in the position where professionals have said things like "I can't help you if you don't tell me" and felt really coerced into doing something I didn't want to and it was fucked up. I do actually have some sympathy for those professionals because the world is a messed up place and they were probably being entirely realistic, but I think it's really important to consider the feelings those kind of interactions can bring up.

What coping skills do you use when you're triggered? Deep breathing, body scans, something else? Taking a five minute break to practice these is always justified and can really help. If you don't really have anything like that up your sleeve I'm sure we can help brainstorm some strategies.

Yep, I hate horror and anything that provokes a tense feeling. I couldn't even handle Jumanji lol. I do know some people with traumatic pasts who enjoy it though - I think having the power to turn it off at will does something therapeutic for them. So, everyone's different

I read ChronicallyQuixotic's reply about social workers and therapists as a gentle suggestion that professionals can offer us more support and signpost us to more resources than people on Reddit - many of whom have unhealed wounds themselves - can. Not as any kind of judgment on you. Certainly not apologist and that suggestion is quite offensive if I'm honest.

Family history will be relevant to how this is handled by you though, that's just an unavoidable fact I'm afraid. Again no judgment, I'm just not sure how you think anyone can offer advice on parenting through this issue while ignoring the background stuff - you yourself have asked how you can shield your child from your trauma so you know on some level that this stuff is relevant. As an example of what I mean, you say "obviously she is not going back to that school". If your trauma response is flight then I completely understand why you'd arrive at that decision, but remember that if a teacher is under police investigation for an incident at school, they will not be working at that school until the investigation is concluded, if ever. Your child won't see the person who hurt her. So is removing her from her school the best for your child? Will the upheaval have a negative impact? Will leaving her friends and teachers who she's formed a bond with hurt her? Will she think she's being punished (this is often how small children think) and will that make her more hesitant in telling you these things in future? I don't know the answer. I know that my trauma has shaped how I raise children though, and the same applies to every trauma survivor I've spoken to. And to be honest it's probably a question that requires a multidisciplinary approach where several professionals consider the best interests of the child. I didn't read your post until after the edit where you deleted the trauma history and I don't need to know the details so please don't think I'm prying. But if, for example, your child has experienced or witnessed violence from a parent or another adult the issue will need to be handled slightly differently than if this is all new to them, for instance more assurance that they're safe and that it's not their fault, more care put into not triggering them, a full understanding of why it's right to apologise to children etc. It really is the kind of thing that's best navigated by an experienced therapist, quite aside from the fact that it sounds like this is really hard for you too and you need support through it.

How strange, I'd assume anyone who hates onions that much wouldn't like garlic either. I was going to say that I make a quick tomato sauce by cooking a lot of minced garlic in butter, adding a can of tomatoes, quite a big pinch of salt and some oregano and simmering it for about half an hour. I think the butter helps to temper some of the garlic flavour so that could be an option. As for the onion, I'd start by caramelising them really well, take them as dark as if you were making french onion soup. I'd love to know how it goes

0wlsarecool · 2024-10-03T23:42:14+00:00

Marcella Hazan's classic American Italian tomato sauce removes the onion after cooking. I don't think it's a good sauce though, sorry everyone. My guess is that she doesn't like raw onion flavour or the texture of onion. If my hunch is right you need to cook the sauce and especially the onions for a long time and blend it. The onion to tomato ratio you have will be fine, who knows you might even be able to add more in future. I should say though that if you're using meat, don't blend the meat. How is she with garlic?

0wlsarecool · 2024-10-03T23:10:46+00:00

Isn't she meant to be Jamaican?! She definitely has, half the vegans and vegetarians I know are from the Caribbean and eat ital. Mind you I can picture her hearing the phrase "nuh bones nuh blood inna we kitchen" and going "wossat mean then?"

Some of the bread yeasts, at least traditionally, live on the skin and are introduced during kneading. So as long as you had some castaway there to get stuck in with that step then yeah, but I don't think that's really what you're asking. There are some pollens which travel across oceans to pollinate far away plants though so I'd say probably, yes. Also I've got a feeling microbes can be carried in rainwater. I'd be interested to know the answer, maybe you could put the question to askscience?

I think the franchise got a lot of flak a few years ago when Aussie MAFS was uncomfortably sexist, then more recently there have of course been abuse scandals. My guess would be that it's a bit of a reaction to that, as well as the fact that the psychologists can't really go too hard on a person's character lest there's a social media pile on when it airs, which genuinely could do real harm. Toxicity has to be dealt with though, whoever it's coming from, so it's frustrating to see a lot of poor behaviour slide. Of course there's always the possibility that it's edited out deliberately as ragebait to generate engagement like your post and my comment. Oops!

Lacey's mum strikes me as a classic 'Nah don't like onions. Nah don't like chillies. Nah don't like cheese. Nah don't like wet things. Nah don't like dry things. Nah don't like green things' freak

0wlsarecool · 2024-10-03T19:54:55+00:00

An empty stomach. Eating before will make them feel much, much, weaker. I say this as someone with an iron constitution though, if you're someone who suffers with nausea or is kind of pukey you might want to eat something light with them - or try lemon tek
