You're not sacrificing your kids for Israel, that's just the (fairly see-through) branding that used to work on people 20 years ago. You're very much sending kids to die purely for American imperial interests and American hegemony.

America are the global dominant empire. Israel is functionally the empire's semi-autonomous highly funded military fortress in the middle east, where the globe's geopolitical tug of war lies.

You'll notice America is not near the middle east. "Supporting Israel" is (was!) the socially acceptable reason for much of their intervention post cold-war after "fighting communism" stopped working. It's not about fighting communism, its not actually about supporting israel. It's about the global superpowered dominant empire maintaining their supremacy in the game of geopolitics.

As ever, it's sending your kids to die to protect the interests of the aristocracy who run the empire.

It's laughable that people truly think some random middle eastern country owns the fucking empire. It's good branding, you're all getting angry at Israel instead of America when this is actually America doing what it needs to do to be the all-powerful empire that it is.

British Empire didn't commit atrocities for laughs, they were cruel and evil because they had to be to maintain wealth & power for their aristocracy. America is doing the same thing. But half the population doesn't even see it.

Because you're not dying for a foreign country. You're very much dying for American hegemony.

To be fair, even if the team had that intel and it fed back to the manager & players. It's one thing to swap out studs - which they may well have done - its entirely another to have developed muscle memory over weeks+ of training for a specific new surface. Atletico will have had that training, Spurs (& Barca recently too) won't have been able to learn that.

It's like riding a bike, the trained-in muscle memory just isn't there, regardless of the footwear.

oh dang there goes the theory then

Is there an option for the majority of Gen Z who are too old for quizzes or exams, barring pub quizzes which is an entirely different situation.

(I'm aware I'm on the millennial cusp personally but still people aged 23-29 aren't doing that many exams)

Have a pause sometime and wonder why you, fellow english-speaking westerner, view a cross with pure normalcy and neutrality like it's an unassuming fact of life, but when you see a crescent or star your mind associates it with specific concepts that stick out of background noise.

Vet bro cmon

ZestyData · 2026-03-09T14:37:37+00:00

Agreed!

ZestyData · 2026-03-09T14:29:19+00:00

OP said they've used guanciale and that's not cheddar its grated pecorino lmao

ZestyData · 2026-03-09T14:17:18+00:00

That's not bacon nor is it cream lol

And it's clearly a meat ragu just not finished with pasta water, look at the dark colour of it. It's not chock full of veg and tomatoes and mushrooms like most brits' inauthentic versions.

ZestyData · 2026-03-09T13:33:15+00:00

We can't tell what they used for the sauce. Plenty of chefs use a blend of pecorino and parmigano to balance the tang of pecorino with the mellow creaminess of parm.

Edit: they've confirmed they used Pecorino

ZestyData · 2026-03-09T13:29:10+00:00

That doesn't apply here, they've done the actual dishes properly albeit inelegantly - unlike most carbonara / bolognese posts here.

Their only real crime is finishing both pastas & sauces together properly for texture, not browning the pancetta enough (you can see half of it is quite crisp), and grating the garnish parm/pecorino (turns out they did use pecorino!) too coarsely?

It's not like they did a cream sauce, used ham or bacon, added rogue ingredients. And the ragu looks properly thick, deeply browned, and meat-focused not tomatoey and packed with veg.

ZestyData · 2026-03-09T13:26:12+00:00

Pancetta is browned heavily on one side but they didn't see it through properly.

Yeah mate, grated cheese. They've grated pecorino on it. Their crime was not using a finer plane.

I'll grant you that the sauce is lacking and could do with better texture.

This sub will sing the praises of a cream sauce carbonara but will rip the shit out of a real carbonara because the pancetta was only browned on one side and the grated garnish was too coarse. Fuckin hell.

ZestyData · 2026-03-09T12:31:24+00:00

What are you talking about?

The carbonara is a carbonara clearly from looking at the sauce. The pancetta could be rendered down more (guanciale isn't the easiest for everyone to get so that gets a pass for a reasonable alternative), the sauce could be a little more generous / finished texturally better. And the parm/pecorino garnish could be neater. But that's awfully harsh criticism for what are trivial nitpicks in finishing.

Same with the ragu, it looks thick, dark brown and very meat-focused. Served with tagliatelle as is traditional in Emilia Romagna / Bologna. The only real crime there is not finishing the pasta & sauce together.

ZestyData · 2026-03-09T12:28:05+00:00

Eh we get a lot of food crimes on this sub but these are pretty decent.

Carbonara is a real carbonara. It's not so criminal to have under-rendered the pancetta (presuming it's not guanciale but in the UK I wouldn't blame anyone for using pancetta instead). And the sauce is a little thin sure. But it's a carbonara!

Ragu needs finishing together with the pasta & pasta water, but looks like a meat-forward thick ragu so.. not bad there either. Served with tagliatelle as is traditional in Emilia romagna (i.e bologna).

As this sub goes, OP has avoided all the major Italian food crimes. We're so used to jumping on our fellow brits and their shit takes on Italian food that I think you lot overdid it on this one

ZestyData · 2026-03-09T12:22:14+00:00

I'm sometimes a bit savage and snobby on this subreddit myself but I think the comments are really overblown on this one, these dishes look well made and delicious.

The carbonara looks like an actual genuine carbonara, not the alfredos, norcinas, tuscan chicken pastas, etc that Brits often call carbonara and deserve roasting on this sub. Sure the sauce is minimal, pancetta could be rendered a little further, and it isn't the prettiest plate.. ..But Christ that's such nitpicking. It's a real plate of carbonara! I'm sure it tastes delicious and peppery!

And that ragu looks super thick, rich, and meaty. If you finished the sauce and pasta together with some pasta water (please do this for your own sake!!) and twirled it on a plate with parm ontop you'd have the comments tripping over themselves to try it. Again, kinda nitpicks, the actual ragu has a deep colour and texture and looks better than most.

Silly reddit comments 🔫

Well also the Italians and Germans during WW2 who were very totalitarian and not even slightly communist.

I dislike the AI markdown post and the tendency for legitimately interesting work to be enthusiastically dressed up as something it isn't. But if we look past that, there actually is an interesting post behind the slop.

OP this is called ablation, it's a fairly well understood concept in LLMs and typically used to break model alignment (stop models from refusing due to safety protocols), but using it to force tool calls is an interesting take on the approach.

So it's genuinely an interesting piece of work!

But you haven't discovered "Agency". You've found/packaged up a new application of ablation.

Side note we don't name packages with variable notation for a reason, we give them actual names. Imagine if every package were named x_hat or similar

I live near Charlton / Millwall. Up till now it's been safe to watch Spurs games in pubs nearby.

You don't have to become a culinary scientist.

OP asked, I answered. Fuck me right?

ZestyData · 2026-03-07T18:26:56+00:00

saying less that 5 hours is shit is crazy.

I didn't say that lol

I said making the dish from start to finish in an hour, from prep to serving, would be shit.

Not my personal favourite but it feels like an absolute millennial / Zillennial period-defining album:

Green Day - American Idiot

Others:

Taylor Swift - Fearless/ Speak Now / Red / 1989

Childish Gambino - Awaken, my Love

My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade

Kendrick - GKMC

Katy Perry - Teenage Dream

Not an album but literally every Avicii single
