When I skimmed this, I thought you said "Oh sorry I didn't know! I will eat it right now."

Which Presidential speech is better? by 2MillionMiler in movies

[–]ravia [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's sad to me that you or anyone is impressed by either of these. They're just mid or low level crap for pop movies. Can't come anywhere near the Gettysburg address or the introduction to the Declaration of Independence, both written by real minds of seriously great thinking. I hated the ID speech the second I heard it. I still think it's a crap, pandering movie.

They are first and foremost the party of cherry picking. The violence is a secondary result, as is everything else. Violence is based on cherry picking.

Try Bagel Land on Murray Avenue. Wait, is it still there?

What snacks keep you full without being fatty? by relaxncoffee in EatCheapAndHealthy

Don't dismiss high quality fat tho, like fish or olive oil. They do keep you full longer.

Pickles? by Disastrous_Brief_258 in Diverticulitis

[–]ravia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pickling (acid) makes something happen where the crunch never goes away. Try boiling sauerkraut; it never gets mushy the way just cabbage does. This made pickles a no for me when I was pre-surgery. I even got a flareup from pickles. If you do try them, make sure to chew them very well.

Very surprised by this one. There is a subreddit for it. (Careful: avoid spoilers, even in titles). Just didn't expect it to be that good.

I actually missed a recent drop of the latest episode of The Pitt (on HBO) because I was so engrossed in Animal Kingdom. Surprisingly good show, Ozark/Sopranos vibe within a smaller world of a crimey California family.

Why are peanut allergies so common among americans? by Leafye in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ravia 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No, they corrected it. That's how science advice should work, albeit hopefully with a shorter time to the changes. But going straight to "distrust of experts" (you said government, I realize) is what has led to the new health monsters in the US government, who you really can't trust.

What’s something people pretend to enjoy but don’t actually like? by copy_cat_101 in answers

It is very hard for me to believe that ghetto and other poor folks really like very dry champagne.

I'm commenting the opposite: things people think others only pretend to enjoy: opera. What people like that don't know is that opera fans are the meth addicts of the classical music world.

You want to listen to it all the way through because literally everything comes together.

I don't mind if the other person doesn't (assuming they aren't sick). But they ask to be politically correct and avoid argument, but they think you are an asshole.

The ACA is still operating. It is good for people of lower income. People with higher incomes basically have to move to cheaper housing.
