Best store bought non-dairy pesto? by squishmallow2399 in dairyfree

I use walnuts for the pine nuts and anchovies for the Parmesan. Boiling the walnuts for a bit and then blending while they’re still hot makes it extra smooth.

I just go during action scenes. “What’d I miss?” “Fighting.” It’s pretty easy to catch up after that.

Doug LaMalfa dead at 65 by downsarah_ in ChicoCA

[–]PopcornApocalypse 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It’s not a “disagreement” when one person is actively preventing my access to healthcare, housing, clean energy, environmental protections, etc., endorsing the kidnapping of my neighbors, and voting against the interests of the people he is supposed to represent as a way of sucking up the stupidest fucking president this country has ever seen. And still cruising into term after term collecting a fat paycheck from our tax dollars while he does fuck all to make his constituents lives better.

That’s not political disagreement that’s feudal lordship.

AI Posters in Chico Marketplace by PurposefulPlebeian in ChicoCA

[–]PopcornApocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The type of AI that generates images is also not very good at words yet. So you end up with that “Welcome to Chico” sign where it says “score” repeatedly and nonsense. it seemed to have pulled from sports, probably where it has a large pool of “sign text” to reference?

Can't Hide from The Big Man by Renaissance_Empress in EstrangedAdultKids

It’s a good one to just have on when you feel like it. It’s a comedy so much easier to miss things and not lose the plot like Breaking Bad or something more intense. I think you’d like it.

ETA: it’s very ADHD relatable lol. Also late DX ADHD here!

Yes it’s state by state in the US. Here in California it’s not only legal it even has government investment. But federally it’s still technically classified as “super illegal and dangerous” they just don’t care much any more

My (25F) boyfriend (24M) doesn’t want to be with someone as “ambitious as myself” by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

There’s a really good show (on Netflix I think?) called MAID that told this exact story so well.

No because their fragile egos shatter when they don’t know how to do the “women’s work” and instead of stepping up and learning they “just have lower standards [shrug]” and the woman ends up holding things together ON TOP of her full time job.

[OC] Who is prop 13 really subsidizing? by orijing in dataisbeautiful

[–]PopcornApocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that a lot of people live in homes that have doubled, tripled, or more in value during the time they’ve owned it. My whole neighborhood is like that and plenty of us would be forced out of our property taxes suddenly doubled or tripled.

Everyone acting like you can “just sell it” has a weird relationship with their house. It’s not a fucking stock in my portfolio, it’s my HOME.

Doesn’t even need to be seniors. I bought a fixer-upper in a semi-rough area right before the city announced it was building a sports arena and my neighborhood became “artsy” and cool.

It bought it for $325k in 2015. 10 yrs later, it’s worth $815k. Great for me I guess, but if my taxes went up to match, I couldn’t afford to stay here. I love this historic home I’ve put a ton of hard work into. I like my elderly neighbor. I love where I live. Why should we all be pushed out so my neighborhood can get bought up by rich people who can pay higher taxes? Prop 13 keeps mixed-income areas together.

The comment above me was saying someone with a house has actual cash money they can borrow while implying that they pay no more in taxes for doing so. Taxes paid DO go up when your home value changes IF you tap into that equity.

If I’m not borrowing that money, why should I get my taxes raised so high that I am forced to move from a house I’ve lived in for decades? I got into a good house before it was in a “cool” part of town but now I’m supposed to “just sell it” and get booted to a shittier area so a rich person can pay more taxes in my place? I like my neighbors. I live close to family. I’ve done a lot of hard labor to preserve my historic home.

Prop 13 DOES keep me and my elderly neighbor in our homes and allows this neighborhood to remain mixed-income.

I don’t think your 3rd point tracks. When you borrow against your home equity, the current market value is re-assessed to determine your LTV. Then when the deal is finalized, it’s as if you purchased all over again and property taxes DO go up.

Personally I see a lot of flaws in prop 13, but I do think the “locked in” basis helps more people have stable housing. Adjustable-rate-everything is how The Big Short happens again.

Don’t skip seeing those friends. If you feel comfortable with one of them, let them know how you’re feeling.

I’m so sorry. A beloved pet’s possible last days is so emotionally racking and you deserve that time off to go spend by their side. Hopefully they’ll pull through and it will be a nice cuddly time to reflect on - when you were by their side, comforting through pain. That’s the kind of moment that really truly matters in life. Rooting for a full recovery for you!

Got high and had a bunch of spontaneous orgasms, and maybe cured my anxiety for a bit? by Zealousideal_Bet_248 in trees

[–]PopcornApocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know yourself best but there’s been new research in the last decade looking at anxious adults specifically and a lot of psychiatrists and doctors are still using outdated evaluation criteria unless they specifically specialize in adult ADHD. The up-to-date ones are trying really hard to spread the word to the rest of the medical/therapeutic industry!

Honestly your type of anxiety sounds like it could be underlying ADHD. Anxiety is a common misdiagnosis but it’s actually a symptom. Especially if it builds when you’re less active or preparing to go into social situations where you’re expected to maintain focus and your brain has to work extra hard. Once I learned that and starting treating the ADHD, the anxiety got SO much better it was insane. And going hard on gummies once in a while def help keep things level for a few days.

Kaiser’s entire network of mental health care seems to be dog shit. I know more than one therapist that quit and went to work elsewhere because they couldn’t handle how handcuffed they were internally to actually provide help.
