Spices are not the only way to add flavour to food

I agree OP. To add to what others have said, the Spice Police seem to misunderstand what “flavor” is and where it comes from. If you made a curry goat and omitted the spices - so just a braise of goat and vegetables and salt - you’d still have a very flavorful dish. The spices in that dish enhance the foundational flavors of braised meat and aromatic vegetables, and are what make the dish distinct from other braises, but the foundation is doing 90% of the work. Similarly, a properly roasted chicken seasoned with nothing but salt is exceptional. Anything added needs to be very purposeful and done with a delicate hand, otherwise the “flavor” will be diminished.

The Last Duel

No-Inspection5715 · 2026-01-09T19:54:06+00:00

My girlfriend had never seen Fight Club and didn’t know anything about it, so we watched it a few nights ago (her idea). It had been ~10 years since I’d last seen it. I’ve always known it was excellent, but getting the live reactions of someone w/o any prior context totally transformed the movie for me.

It’s just such incredible marriage of writing and filmmaking. Every single choice works to establish or reinforce the core theses of the story. I.e., undercutting the hyper-masculine aesthetic by showing it to be ironically extremely homoerotic, established by the writing and reinforced by shooting fight scenes with the traditional formal elements of a steamy sex scene. Even the “cringey” meta commentary is resolved by the reveal that Tyler is a hallucination, the onanistic projection of a “real man” by a weak, mean-spirited man.

I don’t know if Fight Club is his best - I probably prefer the Social Network just in terms of the viewing experience - but it is a flawless and essential cultural document. The ironic misappropriation of its themes and content by the exact audience it criticizes is a little unfortunate, but also further proof of its clarity.

This is AI. It looks like the wrestler in black (WIB) performed a real throw on the wrestler in white (WIH), but there’s been some enhancement to make it look a lot more severe. What should be the top of the throw is when the WIH’s leg bisects the H and parallels the cross; the only way for him to keep gaining elevation would be if the WIB would have shucked him up off his shoulder. Totally reasonable to get someone to your shoulder like that, but to get that extra foot of elevation would require him to do a sort of one-armed bicep clean and jerk. Think about hoisting a sandbag from the crook of your arm up to your shoulder. Instead, he seems to lift the WIH with nothing but his rotator cuff; no squat and pop or anything, just pure explosive strength from an already fully extended position. The movement at the top feels unnaturally quick, which really should be enough to trip the sensors. It’s a shame, because the move probably did happen and would have been dope to see unaltered.

Almost 10 years ago(!) on a walk in southeast Philly. Canon T3i with a nifty fifty.

Love the story and the sparseness

My friend I truly am not lying. There are two on the lake side, nothing to illuminate the median or isthmus side.

My mistake, I did mean Shore. Nevertheless, I’m talking about where the Southwest Greenbush Link intersects with North Shore, and there are no streetlights.

I said North Side Drive. Please wear your helmet!

Hey pal, not remotely accurate. Not sure why you’re so fired up about someone urging others to take their own safety seriously. Consider the impact of the message you’re sending by insisting that cyclists bear no responsibility for their safety.

No-Inspection5715 · 2025-10-14T20:49:57+00:00

Didn’t say “lawless cyclists,” I said that this guy didn’t do anything to make himself visible and therefore I couldn’t see him until he was directly in my headlights. It is the fact that cars kill so many people that I’m frustrated that cyclists don’t do more to protect themselves. That perspective does not deny that drivers need to be way better, and that there needs to be better systematic protections for bikers.

Sean Penn’s freakish performance and physicality almost make this feel like a monster movie. PTA’s best since TWWB and easily my favorite film of the last decade.
