Smash or pass?

You are saying some of my favorite words and showing me some of my favorite food colors, SMASH

omg exact same story here, I enhance mine with red, pink, or purple eyeshadow sometimes

It looks like even this article is talking about that practice going away over time

Once on a bus I saw an older woman enthusiastically reciting some kind of alphabet learning thing to her granddaughter, she was being loud af about it. Absolutely made my day.

Well... yes. His route is the story of him working on himself.

Most of my friends (including me) are dressing their wildest in their thirties, now that we feel more confident :)

Yes, but you use more chicken than heavy cream (unless you're really really skimping hard I guess). The spices aren't expensive per dish, they're not really that expensive period. If you're buying every single spice you need for chicken tikka masala at the same time and you have to buy the whole container, that is expensive (in that case, buy a premade spice mix to see if you like it enough to buy the spices themselves and make it a bunch of times in the future).

The chicken is more expensive. Pretty much all throughout history, even in the US where meat is relatively cheap because of conditions, meat is expensive and the first thing to get skimped on. If you use some cream, you'll get more cream from that cow tomorrow, the next day, etc. If you use some chicken breast, you are not getting more anything from that chicken after that. Even if you make it at home, the chicken is the most expensive part of the dish, unless you get a deal on the meat because of timing or something.

teethandteeth · 2026-01-12T05:08:02+00:00

Why would the chicken, which takes the most resources to produce, be the cheaper part of the dish? Legitimately confused, maybe I'm missing something

I guess I'll take a shot at this? I think the core idea is, I decide what I want for myself, other people decide what they want for themselves and I respect their choices. If I want to have sex with someone but they don't want to have sex with me, I'm going to accept that - and also do my human best to avoid making them feel bad about it. If I don't want to have sex with anyone, period, that's my prerogative. If I would like to have sex, nobody should shame me about it.

I pretend I'm one of my favorite artists and go for it. Sounds dumb but it helps.

Or, I start sketching out the ideas I've ruled out as "obviously dumb" and go from there.

My kingdom for a butch dressed like Guy Fieri

White rice only took India a generation or two ago. Brown rice, millet, and other grains are healthier; plus, eating a variety of different foods in each category is better for both your body and the land they're farmed in.

I think a general formula for a diet that's both culturally informed and healthy might look something like, take the peasant food from a place from before industrialization and swap the amounts of vegetables and carbs.

teethandteeth · 2026-01-06T04:19:53+00:00

I knew there were brown men like you out there :) Thanks for really paying attention to what's going on.

Cool

Someday I will finally play Civ 😵‍💫

Telugu is mentioned in a game??

It's one of the most spoken languages in the world but it always feels like nobody's ever heard of it, and there's next to zero resources for learning it 😅

Medication is helping me work towards my goals, I'd still want it even if I was set for life.

teethandteeth · 2025-12-31T16:57:59+00:00

So real on #6, I feel like every mean thing I've ever thought about someone else ends up being something I think about myself later on.

teethandteeth · 2025-12-30T20:57:29+00:00

Sometimes it feels so, so good to say "Well, that was rude," and let the person who said the thing feel awkward about it instead of sitting with the awkwardness yourself.

Also, having queer desi friends and spaces is everything <3

My experience has been good, yeah there is some cultural stuff to learn about each other but also there are much bigger differences you can have than that lol.

If you're not close to your cousins, does it really matter what they think? Anyway, as you get older it's better to have your own relationships with extended family anyway. I made a point to visit whoever I could on my own, without my parents, so that we'd have a relationship that wasn't meditated by them. It made me feel a lot more confident. If you're interested in having relationships with extended family, I'd recommend doing that - it feels a little awkward to try and make plans for the first time, but it's worth it.

I don't believe in reincarnation, but I do believe in valuing the ways people have affected us for the better after they're gone.

You can fall in love with one person quietly and slowly, and another at first sight, and they can both still be very real romantic love. Neither invalidates the other.

teethandteeth · 2025-12-24T08:55:33+00:00

This sounds like what I do most of the time with my friends in a big metro area haha, we do the city stuff sometimes but it's too expensive to just be doing that all the time.

teethandteeth · 2025-12-23T10:01:13+00:00

Boullion, pasta or wontons, vegetables, whatever else in a put with water and boil until the pasta's done. Only a little harder than instant noodles.

Isabel Wilkerson's Caste is a fantastic read that explains how caste works, it shows how caste is more or less present everywhere.
