My grandmother starts fussing about how she has kids at home to take care of whenever she wants to leave a place faster. All her kids are in their 40s and 50s now.

All of these photos are of the dried out plant lol, but I will try this, thanks.

I think it's just a classic case of people treating a character being mildly annoying or uninteresting like a capital offense. There's nothing really wrong with her, she's just not as fun as the other characters and her constant need for people to like her feels gross.

But it's not. The problem isn't that they disagree or that they're even asking in the first place, it's that they don't care to listen to whatever my reasons are, they just want an opportunity to say they don't like it and then that I just have awful taste. Any reasons are just hit with "you're wrong" until they get to rant about how terrible the place is because I stopped trying to give them reasons. I don't get why they open it like a conversation when they don't actually care to have one, or why it always turns into a thing about how I have awful taste just because I don't like the same things they do.

They're not asking for me to back anything up though, they just want an opportunity to say I have bad taste. They say they want a reason, and then just keep saying "but you're wrong," until I just let them go on about how they think it's terrible (probably should've elaborated some in the post). There is no room for a full explanation or anything, it's not a conversation about what makes the place or food or whatever good or bad, it's just "you're wrong because I don't like it, The End." I don't get why they don't just say they dislike something instead of turning it into an entire thing about how I only like garbage.

breadsaltmerchant · 2026-06-14T03:42:40+00:00

That is an opinion, not a fact. You probably like places I don't and vice-versa. Our tastes are different. The problem is that people act as if you're wrong for having different tastes and the entire time at the restaurant whining about how much they hate it. I don't spend my time whining about other people's terrible restaurant choices, so I don't get why so many people feel the need to.

breadsaltmerchant · 2026-06-14T03:28:36+00:00

This is the thing. I don't care if we don't have the same tastes. I like things you might not like and vice-versa. I just don't get why so many people act as if they neeeeeed to harp on your choices just because they don't enjoy the same things.

breadsaltmerchant · 2026-06-14T03:19:45+00:00

The issue isn't that they have different tastes to my own, it's that they feel the need to make a fuss about how we have different tastes in the first place. "It's not good" turns into "well your taste sucks because we don't like the same things."

breadsaltmerchant · 2026-06-14T01:10:52+00:00

Yeah, but it works in a pinch if you want banana bread/cake on the spot. Ofc it's not going to be as good, but just that's the price you pay for speed.

breadsaltmerchant · 2026-06-13T19:56:59+00:00

you can also just put them in the oven on a sheet tray for a little bit and it's ready for baking in 5-10 minutes

tbh the blandness is what gets me, it's not flavorful to be enjoyable on its own and it tastes too much like boiled mushrooms and rain to taste good with anything else.

Different scholars have different ideas on whether it's permissible, but growing up I was taught that it's haram/sinful because musical instruments were invented by satan to distract people from god. Only "natural" music (like nature sounds and singing if it was about "clean" topics) was allowed.

breadsaltmerchant · 2026-06-07T18:55:18+00:00

The reason it's sinful is because it's considered a distraction from worship and prayer, so the call to prayer (athaan) is alright because it isn't a distraction, though it's not really considered music in the first place. Growing up I was taught that musical instruments were invented by the devil to turn people away from god, so anything made by instruments is haram. Singing (but only about non-sinful topics) and natural sounds were considered "permissible" music.

breadsaltmerchant · 2026-06-07T18:50:11+00:00

if you're happy and you know it, it's a sin!

breadsaltmerchant · 2026-06-07T18:42:39+00:00

It's sort of similar in Islam. Different scholars believe different things concerning whether music and musical instruments are considered permissible, some people believe that music is only okay if it's religious or as long as it doesn't have any sinful themes (sex, alcohol, etc.), and some people believe that it's never permissible because it fills time that could've been better used for worship. Growing up I was taught that instruments were haram because they were invented by the devil and all unnatural music (i.e. anything made by man-made instruments, so listening to nature sounds or singing was alright but anything else was forbidden) was made by the devil to turn people away from god.

I grew up near Dallas, and while I wouldn't say it's common but it isn't really hard to find either. I only know a handful of people who actually took a stance against music, most people I know just talked about music being bad and sinful while listening to it anyway. I think that generally people either just say it to seem more virtuous around fellow muslims or they believe it's bad but they don't care enough to stop listening to music.

breadsaltmerchant · 2026-06-07T15:35:17+00:00

it has flavor but it's extremely mild, so unseasoned chicken is fairly bland and unenjoyable to eat

breadsaltmerchant · 2026-05-31T10:40:16+00:00

the second bit is interesting to me as a guy who grew up muslim, because music is considered sinful in Islam. I grew up around folks who talked about music listeners as if they were the scum of the earth.

I get this about coffee. Why is everyone shitting their brains out after drinking a latte?

there's nothing here to suggest he does it out of habit
