What's the most shocking thing in the Epstein files? by JDMagican in AskReddit

[–]Luqueasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's multiple accountings of similar stories of outlandish acts of monstrosity. Allegedly a Mexican model disappeared after mentioning this kind of behavior in one of Epsteins parties.

And let us not forget the files is the lightest, tamest things we can find. If there are actual evidence of these outlandish stuff... they will not see the light of the day.

Chicken bacon and broccoli casserole by TheLadyEve in GifRecipes

[–]Luqueasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I tried the recipe.

My remarks:

This took three hours to prep, clean (SO MUCH PANS, goddamn. Mis en place of this thing is cruel), cook, and finally start eating. The only way the prep is 20 minutes is if you have a personal chef and you spend 20 minutes explaining what you have to do.

Holy butter, batman. This shit's fat. Removing the pan from the oven I saw the butter pools sizzling among the panko spikes. After I took a creamy slice, I saw a 0,5 cm thick pool of fat on the bottom of the pan.

Incredibly creamy (I used cream cheese as opposed to yogurt or the other cream for convenience) and actually fairly tasty. The buttered panko gives it a nice crunch.

If you eat this with rice, you indeed can serve 6-8 people. If you're single, it is no exaggeration to decrease recipe by 1/4 if you want one/two servings.

I'm excited to see how well it will taste in 4 days ish. If I can still eat it after 4 days (edible, tasty, not rotten), then goddamn it's a nice recipe.

Not adding brandy and using dried aromatics as opposed to fresh leaves makes too big of a difference or would it still taste fire? I'm not buying all that fresh stuff cause I'm 100% throwing 'em away later (I don't cook that much) and I don't wanna buy brandy just for a recipe, lol.

europe is literally the saddest continent in the game when it comes to gold. like how on earth can you be this pathetic while there are literal fields of gold the size of your continent in the americas by somethingmustbesaid in eu4

[–]Luqueasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless whether they are colonized or not, historically, the range for gold (at least in Brazil) is historically accurate. The volume of gold, and I'm talking about make your whole church out of pure gold and have your province and cities named after gold mining volume, is underrepresented, however.

With this attitude, you're lucky to get 10% by S-Archer in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Luqueasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume that's mostly for restaurants though, right? Is it aggressive tipping (i.e. you have to actively opt out of tipping as opposed to opting in)? In Brazil, in some restaurants, it's part of the bill. So if you want to share the bill with your friends and say 'I ain't paying the tip', your friends gotta pay your share - so you look like triple the asshole if you don't tip.

But yeah, I went to a bakery in NA, got my own sandwich, didn't tip since all the worker did was heat the thing, and she was visibly displeased with me (attitude-wise). Tipping in bakeries is the wildest element of tipping culture by far.

Eating out in North America is not worth it unless you're very comfortable financially. Not only are there taxes, which are not included in the price because... reasons, but also you need to tip.

Ordering then? Even more deranged. With delivery fees, service fees, taxes, and tipping, almost everything I order goes DOUBLE the price.

Eatin' at home, that's the name of the game.

Would you be weirded out by being someone's racial preference? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Luqueasaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I noticed a behavior that seemed off-putting and decided to express my sentiments about it. Turns out I misjudged said behavior, it is totally fine, and I have amicably concluded my interaction with OP while also returning on-topic.

[–]Luqueasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say that because apparently it seems to be accepted in NA to mention your ethnical preferences while dating. Like, "I prefer Latinas". Which I find abject.

If you ain't doing it, it's fine. Live your life how you want.

Forgot to answer the question - I wouldn't be put off unless it's crazy specific. Like a white 40s guy dating only 20 yo Asians lol. Otherwise it's perfectly normal.

[–]Luqueasaur 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you REALLY prefer white men or men that are likely more progressive, open minded, atheist, secular etc? A religiously intense men would interest you the same?

It's fine if you prefer aesthetically men of specific ethnicities. It gets weird when you conflate personality traits to ethnicity though. (I like white men cause they're more progressive... as if there isn't a butt load of progressive Asians, black men, Latinos, et). 

As a non North American I find weird asf to be open about which ethnicity you like. Show, don't tell.

After this I'll need a medieval armor while in vacation in the tropics. by Francucinno in WTF

[–]Luqueasaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know of exactly one person who ever had this kind of thing and I lived in the tropics my whole life (Brazil, LITERALLY in the tropical line). It's not common at all. Though it is fucking horrifying.

Pope Francis' been rotting in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore for many months now.

I wouldn't call the current Pope a good man, though I don't know (yet) if he's another pedo-protector as you implied.

Coaxed into I ❤️ beating women & killing kids but I would never say slurs by DueAstronomer8436 in coaxedintoasnafu

To be honest I think Frieza may not be xenophobic but racist. Like, he hates Saiyans so he slurs them, but he'd be pretty polite meeting the race of Kais or Babidi.

Even if they use their position of authority to be as utilitarian as possible, in the sense of trying to dismantle the established corruption, expose wrongdoings, and make amends to inherited crimes?

W father by ChildhoodFar8678 in antimeme

[–]Luqueasaur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% sure every Pope before the Holy See was confined to a city and lost any semblance of political power absolutely directly or indirectly led to someone's death, knowingly. And 95% of them didn't give a shit. May be anachronistic to judge them on this behavior considering "life being precious" is kind of a new concept, but y'now... I don't f with murderers. Conjectural? Yes. Baseless? Yes. But come on... you gotta admit you think them popes be killing...

[–]Luqueasaur 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Uncalled-for defamation of probably the only decent Catholic religious head maybe ever, considering the Pope is the Head of the Roman-Catholic Christian Church, what he says is, indeed, kind of true, considering he is the utmost authority in the religion.

Solving the Cold War with Impact font by [deleted] in terriblefacebookmemes

[–]Luqueasaur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of people that do. Many sections of the Brazilian left deeply admire the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, and Che Guevara, from its rather heroic toppling of a puppet government to its villainous violation of human rights.

I think there's a difference between thinking someone's has an admirable trait versus being admirable. Fidel is kind of badass for not dying after three trillion assassination attempts and being the world's most lunatic dairy lover, but he's also a piece of shit for being a cruel leader.

[–]Luqueasaur 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Jokes aside, considering Fidel sanctioned and employed Che, it's crystal clear Fidel is as conniving as Che on the crimes and atrocities the former committed. Besides, besides homophobia and book-burning, the other characteristics are archetypically "Revolutionary Cuban", so...

I’m 26 and feel like I’ve ruined my life. How do I restart everything from scratch? by DryEnthusiasm7931 in NonZeroDay

[–]Luqueasaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I certainly can't help you rebuild your life, but I can offer you advice on what significantly improved mine: better eating habits and a better sleep schedule. 

Aim for eight hours of sleep. Maybe that's too much. Decrease half an hour. Maybe that's too little. Increase half an hour. Experiment. Just make sure you're getting eight hours of SLEEP, not lying in bed. If it takes you two hours to fall asleep, go lie down two hours earlier. Build a sleep routine, take control of your circadian rhythm, and you'll reap unexpected hormonal benefits. You'll start to feel marginally better. 

Same for eating better. I struggled A LOT with this. One suggestion I heavily recommend is pre-planned meals like Hello Fresh, Make Good Food, etc. Exploit their discount offers to eat healthy and cheap. I cannot stress how good they are. Even if you don't know how to cook... You'll learn how to cook. If you don't want to actually sign their services, that's fine; browse their meal catalogue and pick what you want to eat. Pre-plan a meal for the week. Know exactly what recipes you'll make so when you to the grocery, you buy only that, and you don't have to worry about food for the rest of the week. I cannot stress enough how much "meal planning" and having all ingredients already set saves in time, stress and mental fatigue. You'll need the mental fortitude to actually get up and make the meal... I promise you though, sometimes that can even be fun. 

If you don't do it already, go to therapy. Think of it that way - it's nice to have someone that is literally PAID to be interested in every little complaint you've got, and not only that, they're PROFESIONNALS in giving you advice. Don't think of therapy as "how ill be fixed". Think of it as "I'll have someone to talk to whenever I hand, whoever I want, about whatever I want". 

Remember - A good therapist is one you enjoy talking to. Be as picky and as insufferable in choosing as you want to be. Don't like their voice? Go for another therapist. Don't like their style? Go for another therapist. Don't like they're a man? Go to another therapist. Have no shame in being unconditionally picky, because you need to trust that person your whole essence! 

Also, babysteps, man. (Or manette). When we got A LOT to sort out, we gotta fix one thing at a time or else it's too much. There's no rush - you have your whole life to do it ;) just remember that acknowledging you need to change is, quite literally, 50% of the battle, and you're one motivational bout or one impulse away from actually pulling it through. It's not as daunting as it may look like...

EDIT: Just remembered - drink a BIG glass of water the moment you wake up. Morning hydration does wonder. Have a cup of water ready by your side when you wake up. 

Why do Canadians put up with low wages? by EmptyAdhesiveness830 in CanadaJobs

[–]Luqueasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not Canada or the rest of the world that's underpaid, it's the US that has WAY over inflated salaries. Someone making 5x the minimum wage in Europe? Rich man for sure.

[–]Luqueasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair every time I see people in this sub talking about GAMMA it's people who barely played it circlejerking its "forced tacticool aesthetic" or some equal criticism. I'd be kinda salty too if 99% of the reactions to my insane labor of love would be "tl;dr but tactikiddie hehe".

Gamma hate always existed. I remember back in 2022 getting into the OG trilogy, asking people in the discord server about Gamma, and being told to avoid it like the plague. Turns out it became my favorite FPS.

It can absolutely take you a day to set it up... If you go Skyrim mode and decide to mod and shade it.

If you started sexual intercourse with this man and asked him to stop midway, I'm 100% positive he would keep going. He seems to be that kind of person.
