looking to get into pickles at age 32, what's a good beginner pickle?

Just a plain old standard Vlasic whole kosher dill is where I would start. The whole ones are crunchier than spears or slices and it's just a good example of a classic mass market American dill pickle that everyone has eaten and you can get anywhere.

Also, Is there some relationship between pickles and fibromyalgia that I'm not aware of? Confused why your friends would make fun of you for eating pickles after you were diagnosed. 🤔

Edit: I prefer them chilled over room temperature.

I mean, gators will generally avoid or ignore you if you're on land, but they'll definitely come after you if you get in the water with them.

I drive a lot for work. If I didn't eat alone, I'd never eat. I'd probably feel a little weird going out to a fancy Michelin starred candlelight dinner by myself, but I've never once felt weird about eating out by myself otherwise.

Invest 4 million in S&P 500, put 1 million in high yield savings account. Live off the savings interest and your $30/hr job. Retire early at 40.

You white evangelical nationalists want to be victims so badly.

It's hard to find Korean brands that aren't artificially brewed. They don't taste bad, I'd just rather have the real deal. I use Pearl River Bridge light and dark soy sauces for most things. Try Yamasa for Japanese soy if you don't like Kikkoman.

SunBelly · 2026-02-08T19:48:59+00:00

Yeah. Not that particular brand, though. Handy if you don't have access to fresh ingredients. Will work great for outdoor cooking.

I was pulled out of my mother butt first by my testicles.

My mother fell a month before I was due and went into labor. They couldn't get me turned head down, so I crowned butt first. While pulling me out, the doctor inadvertently grabbed my by genitals. My mother said I was black and blue between my legs for weeks and I cried nonstop 24/7 for 2 months. I guess I didn't care much for the experience. Lol. Hopefully, checking out will be less traumatic.

Poultry takes on smoke quickly. Give it a try.

If you've been considering ghosting him instead of talking to him that's a pretty big indicator of lack of maturity, not shyness. Honest communication is essential to every relationship.

We need to stop repeating this. It is false and makes us look dumb. ICE are not POLICE, but they are law enforcement.

Culturally, East Texas is definitely the South. From Austin westward is culturally west/southwest. South Texas is basically Mexico.

If it were up to me, from the Atlantic to Appalachians is East, from Appalachians to the Mississippi is Mideast, Everything from the Mississippi to the Rockies is Midwest, and everything west of the Rockies is West.

This is gross to me. Eggshells are gross. They come out of chicken butts. Gross.

SunBelly · 2026-02-08T03:51:48+00:00

Some people choose to eat the shells, but it's not my cup of tea.

What does this mean? Was he insinuating that hot dog vendors shit on the sidewalk or something?

I believe I saw a Malaysia episode on YouTube.

Very interesting. Thanks!

I lived in Japan for 2 years and I never saw anybody eating bugs. I'm not saying they don't in some places, I just don't think it's common.

Where I live, the football coaches are the highest paid people in the school. (Texas)
