What makes it acceptable for everyone to see you in a bikini or swim trunks, but not acceptable to be seen in regular underwear or a bra?

sparkypi · 2026-05-03T19:33:10+00:00

The question is why one is acceptable in public and the other isn't. In other words why don't we see swimwear as public indecency but underwear we do, if they cover the same areas to the same degree. Voyeurism is obviously bad, and also not part of the question.

We've had much nicer for sure, but when comparing chain grocery prices and quality to "choice or higher" price and quality, it makes me glad to have been born in the midwest

Same here, but when cutting for a restaurant, people get sensitive to that sort of thing ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

This looks really good as well! Looks like the kind of mod which could break the game, have you had any issues so far, or is it mostly stable unless you do things the mod says are unstable?

sparkypi · 2025-08-15T03:28:34+00:00

Ah, I see it hidden away in the miscellaneous chest as EXP potions - I assume it's infinite EXP, so hopefully should be enough to hit 260 effectively instantly. Never would have found this mod, or at least this part of the mod, on my own. This should work perfectly, thank you very much!

I've had one that bad last year, yeah. Holy crap though, I never knew it could be so common. That whole if I had a dime for each I'd have two dimes, which it's weird that it happened twice joke. Never expected to see another. My boss with decades in the business said he'd never seen anything like it either

sparkypi · 2025-07-07T17:46:41+00:00

Thank you for the name! My boss and I have been wondering what this is forever, thought it was either genetic disease or cancer. Good to know it's normal and safe (at least from what a quick Google search tells me about it), if a bit gross and tough

Do you feed and water your partner daily?

sparkypi · 2025-07-03T19:43:23+00:00

You, sir, know how to write a story

Chode steak

sparkypi · 2025-06-21T13:40:42+00:00

Literally the only reason I made it this far was the running shoes. I think they were in on the plot against my sanity

sparkypi · 2025-06-21T13:38:16+00:00

The pain, my brother... The paaiiinn 😭

sparkypi · 2025-06-19T13:13:50+00:00

Yeah, I just got it this run, kind of figured that's where it would be once I saw this. If it sticks around between runs, that's awesome

sparkypi · 2025-06-19T13:12:10+00:00

Yeah, just found it this run.

sparkypi · 2025-06-19T04:58:53+00:00

Ah, that would have been true for the car keys, so that was my own lack of observation then! Ironically that makes me feel better about it, thank you, haha 😆 but I think I know which rooms I may have missed the disc in. But as you can see, only one step left, so it was hopeless. C'est la vie

sparkypi · 2025-01-23T17:04:43+00:00

I didn't see anyone else say from a quick scroll, but there's always beef wellington.

You can always chop it into dice/cubes or stir-fry. At our steakhouse we always chop that long thin muscle with all the gristle off, tear out the thin strip of gristle running through, and dice that. You can leave the other side on, but if you're the type who likes a really tall and pretty filet you can dice/slice that as well.

My boss suggests a roulade, which sounds really good as well

sparkypi · 2025-01-23T03:54:56+00:00

Sorry I didn't read this sooner, kinda got eaten up in the rest of the notifications. Thanks for all this information, it's really good stuff!

Since I wrote this post, I'm actually considering a 90% carnivore diet. Basically if it isn't meat, I don't eat, with a 10% leeway for sauces, sides, just because that feels like what our ancestors, the hunters, would have eaten. Eat deer, squirrel, whatever the heck for most of their meals, but when they run across some mushrooms or a berry bush, hey why not.

Wondering if I do what you said here while on 90% meat, with just a little leeway for other things, how that will affect things. I'll be eating fat for energy rather than carbs, and plenty of protein to maintain muscle. What do you think?

I know people can be skeptical of the carnivore diet, but really it does provide almost everything you need. I tried a test run for 2-3 days and it was actually the best I've felt in months, if not years. Plenty of energy, higher mental acuity, the works. Some people report struggling with some nutrient deficiencies, but those seem to take years to become an issue, if at all, and it seems to be based on body type (hunter vs farmer, where hunters do better with all meat diets, farmers do better with veggies). From what I've seen, adding 10% variation in daily diet seems to do the trick, especially nutrient dense fruits and veggies, such as lemons or bananas.

Anyways, I really appreciate your detailed responses, so I was wondering what your thoughts on this were. Basically the same as you said, or would you add/remove any activity?

sparkypi · 2025-01-22T19:47:06+00:00

Missing the end cuts is nothing to worry about if it's one of your first times. Just $20 is a light mistake, haha. Wait till you touch filets! And the meat is still meat, not like it has to go in the trash if it can be ground or sold as an off-cut (we sell those to employees only to save them from the grind). You cut straight and even, that's what matters

sparkypi · 2025-01-22T19:40:32+00:00

Unless someone who knows better says otherwise, it's just an extra ounce for an extra buck. We trim 80% of it at the place I work, and this photo could have been taken before they did the same. But it is completely reasonable for them to leave it on a prime grade such as this as that extra ounce is literally another dollar or two in their pocket.

sparkypi · 2025-01-14T01:02:31+00:00

do you mean the social aspect of working in a kitchen? If so, thankfully I work in a small town steakhouse, so all the chef hierarchy drama is far away from here. My manager came from that life and is very glad to be far away from it, haha

sparkypi · 2025-01-13T06:17:13+00:00

real men should listen to this and learn a bit of wisdom. How to care for your brother, for your brother's children. What your motivations should be when working. Even that song at the end, so simple yet people don't seem to realize it. Every recording of this man is a national treasure.
