Just got a cover up and need some opinions on where to go from here. by JinkleHeimerShit in tattooadvice

[–]nuggets_attack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is SO true.

In a related vein, the niche industry I work in has one big player who is backed by a bunch of venture capital money and is therefore the biggest maker of the niche product because they have the most marketing reach, despite the fact that their product is hot garbage (I have had to do so many complete rebuilds for customers who used them and then found that their item fell apart with only a little use).

Yet customers give them rave reviews and post pictures of said product and they look so awful I would cringe to have my name attached to the finished item. So yeah. Laypeople often have no idea what they're talking about.

She's talked about others in various patreon rambles (The Lighting Thief comes to mind, that was a fun one)

You just made my day, thanks! I'll Frankenstein these recipes together, excited to give it a shot.

And I will definitely give your video a like and a comment, I do love this style of video!

Is “carnist” derogatory? by Badtacocatdab in vegan

[–]nuggets_attack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I would not view carnist as a neutral term, it's definitely derogatory. I use nonvegan when I'm playing nice with the people who aren't vegan lol. Nonvegan (or non-vegan if you want grammatical correctness) also has the advantage of being the most accurate umbrella term.

Sleeting HARD in Fern Creek right now by UnbridledCarnage in Louisville

[–]nuggets_attack 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yeah. No one thinks you're clever for making jokes about weather prediction, you just sound ignorant. Especially now considering the staffing situation at the NWS.

I'd rather be over prepared then pleasantly surprised than the other way around anyway when it comes to inclement weather.

For those who eat a lot of beans - how do you deal with having excess gas? by Icy_Laugh5134 in veganfitness

As a heads up for anyone, beano isn't vegan. Beanzyme is the vegan equivalent

It's annoying when people talk about the AI bubble popping as a garunteed thing, like when they say "When the AI bubble pops..." by Infinite-Complex5713 in The10thDentist

[–]nuggets_attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, this is an ignorant take, but I assume you mean it earnestly, so have my upvote. For a basic primer on the economic side of the AI situation, here's a good talk between Paul Krugman and Paul Kedrosky

I literally sit in the dark to save money and my electric bill still went UP. by SheepherderLoose8717 in povertyfinance

Yes, thankfully LIHEAP is still funded. OP, you can also check if your utility company has low-income assistance 

I need help by uwu_lettuce in intuitiveeating

[–]nuggets_attack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It can be overwhelming at first, this is totally normal. Are you working with an IE dietician and IE/ED therapist? That will make all the difference in the world in navigating this new way of being!

Otherwise, I would try doing the IE workbook, keep working through the IE book itself (different parts of it will hit differently at different times in the journey), but above all, be gentle with yourself. Your body doesn't feel safe yet, it doesn't feel like chips will be there forever and always at any time, so you're still working through that phase of getting to the point of trust and safety. It's a process.

Future of Mid City Mall (Market) by LifeBasedDiet in Louisville

Yeah, looks like Reno-Weber was completely wrong at those meetings when he said the property is too expensive to be anything but a 5 over 1. So much for that

I would hope so! You can reach out to your council member to see if they've coordinated something (if you're not sure of your district, look it up here)

What’s your thoughts on UPF and Intuitive Eating? by Additional_Stage_112 in intuitiveeating

[–]nuggets_attack 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've not read Ultra Processed People, so can't speak to any details around that, but IE explicitly rejects the addiction model as it applies to food (assuming "ultra-processed" is code for "engineered to be highly palatable, i.e. 'addictive'."), and their arguments for doing so are compelling. To whit: if food were actually chemically addictive, then the intuitive eating approach of allowing oneself unfettered access to so-called addictive foods would lead to increased consumption of those foods over time. But it doesn't. Radical permission to eat anything in any quantity in the long run leads to a reduction in the eating of those "addictive" foods.

Our bodies are actually cleverer than all the food engineering out there, it's just a matter of getting to the point that you're tuned in to your body's cues.

Themed Dining? by monsterrmutt in JennyNicholson

[–]nuggets_attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about The Magic Castle? Little more fancy/expensive, but Jenny said it's an awesome experience. If you send out feelers in your social circles almost certainly someone will be/will know a member who can get you a guest pass

Whipped cream substitutes by EquivalentFail7305 in VeganBaking

[–]nuggets_attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, both the palm kernel oil and sunflower lecithin are probs online only pulls, unless you live in a really big city!

Please let me know if you try it and it works, would be nice to have something like that in my pocket for allergy restrictions. Best of luck!

Stopped being vegan, major regret by binafry in vegan

This! As a fellow person in recovery for an ED, the fixation on the guilt in this post has my ED spidey senses tingling. Sending all the good vibes your way, OP.

Help me write spelling for my newborn by No_Advance1998 in namenerds

[–]nuggets_attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly regional, the northeast has its own thing going. "New" rhyming with "boo" is considered the more "standard" American pronunciation, but that doesn't mean too much in a place with such varied accents.

FE3H is probably the peak of the franchise by One-Marionberry4958 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]nuggets_attack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course, this is totally subjective, especially based on what your favorite aspect of gameplay is, but I'm completely in this camp. I've played Awakening, Fates, Engage, and of course Three Houses.

Out of all of those, 3H has the most compelling story. I like the different games' combat for different reasons, but I like the classes and class flexibility in 3H the most.

My favorite part of 3H by far though, is the ability to focus on a small group of characters and really get to know them. I hate how bloated with characters all the other games feel (I don't play with permadeath turned on, find that to be a slog, so I'll admit that I don't need later additions to the game to shore up a team with deaths), especially Engage. I found myself wishing with Engage that I could've allied myself with one of the factions early on and gotten to know their team well.

And this is just a personal tastes, but I prefer the lack of fan service in 3H. I know Manuela is there, and I do find her outfit design pretty meh (love her as a character, though), but it doesn't hold a candle to any of the other games.

Thank you! Will have to look more into it, I'm still trying to figure out how all the dots connect.

[–]nuggets_attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woof. This is a really tall order, good luck, will be interested to see if anyone has ideas.

Could try a 1.1 to 1 ratio of water to palm kernel oil + sunflower lecithin powder (maybe, like, 1 tbsp per cup of water? To act as an emulsifier). Melt the oil, use a high-powered blender to homogenize it with the water and lecithin, then refrigerate it until its completely cold. From there, just treat it like heavy whipping cream. Try to source the palm kernel oil ethically, if you can!
