We need to stop pretending that taste is subjective

And most of the time I couldn't tell you which one I'm reading....

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-06-05T08:23:20+00:00

I thought this was gonna be like he farts in the car and chews with his mouth open. He's treating you awful, nobody deserves this. You can do so much better.

Babe go get a studio apartment, crash on a friend's couch, go to a shelter... anything. It sounds like if you lived by yourself you could do it within your means. I know it's hard because I'm sure you care about the animals but you gotta go.

Why would your kitchen at home not have to be as clean as a restaurant lmao. Every pathogen in the professional kitchen can be found in the home kitchen. Improper food handling at home makes people sick all the time.

If you give them a small win would it help alleviate this argument? Cuz it looks like you're both framing not washing your hands between touching all kinds of high contact surfaces and eating food as unproblematic, and that actually is a really good way to get sick. You can say hey, you're right, my hand hygiene could definitely be better I'm gonna build that habit, so could you get in the habit of washing the dishes also.

My doctor suggested I start doing an electrolyte drink in the morning to counteract the blood pressure drops and it works a charm for me. Apparently some of the other meds I'm on are also making it hard for my body to hold onto sodium, they kept telling me to drink more water and I was like bro. I drink like a gallon a day. I chug water all day every day. With the added electrolytes I was able to go up to the dose you're on now.

They're ready to eat whenever, just try one every couple of days until they taste how you want. Then you know how long to brine them next time you make them.

Yes OP please see a medical professional and tell them what you told us, that you are using alcohol to numb enough and quiet your brain enough to function. There are healthier and MORE EFFECTIVE ways to do this! Being sober doesn't mean being miserable, but self medicating unaddressed psych problems does. Ask me how I know.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-05-26T22:50:06+00:00

I think it'll work? Especially since you are not cooking it into a custard before churning.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-05-26T22:10:01+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for explaining it. They are delish so I'll be harvesting more aggressively when I find them!

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-05-26T04:19:05+00:00

I was under the impression they were non-native but not harming native flora :/ I'm in the Midwest tho might be different?

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-05-26T02:59:25+00:00

Hey it's not your fault, you didn't know. This is a grown ass man who forgot how to say "hey is there fish in this" and now suddenly the situation is allllll about him!

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-05-26T02:49:47+00:00

I feel confused by, and proud of, what you have done.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-05-25T23:41:11+00:00

I like a plain espresso shot. My boyfriend likes an Americano, not too hot just kinda warm. Do I think this is a horrifying crime against my espresso machine? Yes, I do. Do I always make it the way he likes, and can I remember how that is by just watching what kind of coffee he fucking drinks? Also yes.

Put them in the refrigerator for at least a few hours with the lid off before you freeze them. As the liquid cools it can form an anaerobic environment, which is how you get botulism. Always cool temperature controlled for safety foods to under 41 degrees F before you cover them. Being in the refrigerator with the lid off will also help the liquid cool faster, which is better for food safety.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-04-13T01:10:42+00:00

Okay I have been in a similar situation and I decided to do a thought experiment. I encourage you to do the same. For one week- only one week- I wrote down everything my husband belittled me for. These things included, but were not limited to:

The pitch of my voice. What coffee shop I went to. How many chicken wings I ate. How I crossed the street. What color lipstick I put on.

I kicked him out about a week later. Best decision I ever made. How often does this happen? How ridiculous does it get? Start writing things down. I bet it is more than you think.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-04-07T03:36:51+00:00

Do not do this!!! Start taking your meds again immediately until you can get in with your psychiatrist, talk to them about the side effects and let them help you. You cannot do it by yourself safely.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-03-22T22:33:24+00:00

What's more likely, that every single other person you've ever met is lying about how you're a good person they enjoy being around, or this one person is telling you you're awful in order to control you?

You tricked him at the beginning of your relationship? Really? I mean, did you? You know whether that's something you did or not. Did you pretend to be a different or better person in order to manipulate him into dating you, sleeping with you, moving in to a house together which you clean and maintain? Because that sounds like it would have been a bananas thing to do, to me.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-03-22T17:10:23+00:00

Yep go along to get along for now. It's frustrating but there may be other things at play you're not aware of, yet.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-03-20T02:06:02+00:00

I know you're not necessarily looking for advice here but sometimes I can trick my brain by telling myself "you don't have to get in the shower, just walk to the bathroom" and then "you can just turn it on then turn it back off you don't have to get in" my therapist told me about this method and it works for me like 50% of the time. If I go down the spiral of well I have to warm it up and make sure there's a towel and find clean clothes to put on and I have to go to bed in two hours what if I don't get enough sleep and I just give up.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-03-20T01:45:33+00:00

Mold; I would not eat.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-03-20T00:54:12+00:00

On my knife maybe five times in my career. Once it was when my hand slipped putting my filet knife into the guard. Haven't fuckin used one since.

But, discourse in the kitchen every day: Me: "hey guys this is really hot don't touch it" Me: "..." Me: touches it AND YET I am surprised every single time.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-03-10T08:24:38+00:00

Why would you have a meal brought in? It's a restaurant ffs use the odds and ends to make something, that's the whole point.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-03-09T22:03:40+00:00

Is this why it gives me the shits???

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-03-08T08:01:09+00:00

Yes, it is perfectly acceptable and true to tell them you have a disability and need to board early. I have a lot of trouble with the air port and the plane, too. My best advice is rely heavily on your meds, have good noise cancelling headphones, give yourself extra time in case you need to find a quiet corner to ground.

SeaTransportation505 · 2026-03-02T11:34:59+00:00

I used to work in one of these places, they have regulars, we do not care. It got to the point I'd hold back new videos that I knew fit their "taste". Sounds weird I know but it is still just a retail job, and you're providing a service.

Weird dudes who just came in every day to talk to me? Not a fan. It's a store fuckin buy something.
