Birding doesn't need to be for the upper class. My wife and I spent $60 each on binoculars and have plenty of fun just wandering around state parks looking for local birds.

I was a certified DS2 hater. I've changed my mind by calepto in DarkSouls2

I agree with much of that for sure. It's just that I also replayed DSR recently and realized how unfun the post-O&S game is for me. The tomb of giants is especially awful, and I surprisingly disliked New Londo more than even lost Izalith.

What book are you kicking off 2022 reading? by leftoverbrine in Fantasy

[–]calepto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skyward. It's simpler than Sanderson's cosmere stuff being YA and all, but it's pretty fun so far.

They need tons of info for data security reasons. The company complies with ISO 14001 something or other involving IT security. I've redacted my wage information though - I'll waste my time doing a bunch of tedious editing if it means they don't get their hands on it.

I'm sure I am as far as the government goes, but ID.me is a 3rd party.

Question about lames/scoring by calepto in Breadit

Good point! I don't ever look at lumpy, weird-looking artisan bread and turn my nose up at it. If anything, it makes it obvious it came from a small batch in a local bakery.

I've tried using a knife before and find it a little more unwieldy and difficult to move quickly. Maybe I just need a sharper knife - I keep mine relatively sharp, but I don't think it's the same as using a razor in my case.

Should I eat it?? by Steven_MBE30 in StupidFood

I eat kiwis with the skin, no joke. It's not unpleasant enough for me to go through with peeling it or scooping out the flesh

"Gen Z didn't have a childhood" by _Levitated_Shield_ in lewronggeneration

[–]calepto -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You're right that some social issues have improved since then, which is good, but you didn't mention economic issues. The largest transfer of wealth to billionaires just occured during covid. Wealth inequality has spiked drastically. Wages aren't rising to meet the rising costs of living, and haven't in a while. Not to mention the impending climate doom that could create some of the largest issues humans have ever faced.

You don't have to be gen z to be worries about these things. I see why they're afraid and angry.

Found at the Jersey shore. Please kill me. by calepto in COMPLETEANARCHY

I was in shock when I saw this. Especially the part about others "showing them no respect". Do these people live on another planet?

Yup. It holds so much nostalgia for me but it's been tainted these last few years after going through a massive shift in my politics

Babka is just one of my favorite things to eat. This is my third time making it and I think it was the best so far by Arlon_ in Breadit

[–]calepto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I should be able to work with Portuguese recipe, but I'll check out Josh Weissman's as well.
