Please don’t suck…

As was Sealab 2021

This is really the right answer. Saag and Palak are the way forward, mix in mustard greens or collards too.

I also wilt it in a wok with garlic and use it as the core component of dumpling or bun filling, combined with tofu, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, onions or whatever else you want.

I’ve tried to get into watching sports a number of times before. I do enjoy the athleticism and strategy needed to play and win, but I think you picked out the bug bears I also had fairly well.

I’ve found playing sports much more rewarding than watching them.

Sherrill is one of the least exciting, least motivating and least appealing candidates I’ve seen, but at least she isn’t Republican.

Also she wants to expand outreach and services for mental health patients in NJ so she’s got that going for her.

WOW $400 fuck that

I don’t agree. I think shutting down places that promote bigotry and slurs is good.

If they just want to run a minecraft server, they easily can. They just can’t also use that as a place to promote hatred and bigotry.

What you’re making is a slippery slope argument that doesn’t really hold water.

Ngl, whenever “libertarians” get their hackles up about needing a right to “free speech”, I always suspect they mean bigotry and slurs.

Stephen Chow’s action comedy movies. Phenomenal stuff. Some of the earlier films are steeped in Chinese folk lore in a way that doesn’t really work for me since I didn’t grow up hearing that, but the rest of em are just stellar, barring a few jokes that haven’t aged well.

That e doing a lotta work I don’t think you want it doing

I’m guessing OP hasn’t finished watching Voyager…

It’s seventeen minutes after you replied to me and I can not only see your reply, I’ve upvoted it and made this reply.

I’m pretty sure blocking goes one way. You can’t see their posts but they can see and reply to yours.

Someone who has actually had an American experience. Someone who’s been homeless, who’s worked more than one job just to barely make rent. Someone who’s viewed home ownership as a pipe dream. Someone who’s waited tables. Someone that’s done drugs just for an escape. Someone who’s lost friends and family to those same drugs. Someone who’s had a total stranger express hate for them just for being outside the in-power group.

No more of these disconnected rich pricks who don’t really know how the average person lives.

Anything with black salt in it. Eggs don’t bother me, but the extra sulfurous scent in black salt is so off-putting to me. Tasty when used right, tho!

Used to be able to say natto, but it’s so tasty, cheap and nutritious that I’ve overcome my aversion and now it smells good to me.

Honorary mention to Swedish cod roe paste (Kalles). I, personally, didn’t mind the smell, but my roommate would call it “pussy paste”. She was more nose sensitive, it seemed, though, as she was the only roommate who very politely asked me to wait until she’d eaten before I prepared the natto.

Let’s say then, obviously, yes, a lot of the people who people who exclusively date particular ethnicities are doing so for bigoted reasons, demonstrating poor introspection, having their preferences dictated by bigotry and propaganda.

Doesn’t it stand to reason that a similar thing could be occurring with cis people who refuse to date trans people? That many of them are simply bigoted and influenced by propaganda, not having thoroughly examined their thought processes around this concept and instead allowed others to dictate their preferences?

Those many people might benefit from the reframing of that concept to one othering cis people. That is who this post is about.

No, actually, I find that’s often not true.

I’ve found that people who are willing to date some ethnicities but not others often exhibit some level of unexamined bigotry, even if they are not abhorrent racists. But I’ve also seen that if they do have romantic experiences with people of that race, this can change, showing that the attraction wasn’t immutable, but rather based on something unexamined in their heads.

I think it’s good and healthy to examine what we find attractive and why.

Someone who says they want children so they don’t want to date people who don’t want children is someone I feel has done at least a bare minimum of introspection about their desires, goals and interests.

Someone who says they only date blondes is not someone who I think has done any introspection about their interests.

Asking people to examine the way they think and why isn’t related to becoming an incel whatsoever. In fact, in my experience, incels are often people who have not really done a lot of introspection into what they find attractive and why, but rather have become obsessed with the idea that they should be having sex and aren’t.

Would you think someone who says they only date white people is exhibiting this “attraction preference” or are they exhibiting bigotry?

Certainly, but being trans isn’t a different sexuality.

Plenty of cis people put trans people into the “not interested” category without thinking. Or they assume they are cis and lose attraction the moment they find out they are trans, some even acting like this is a deception or betrayal. So obviously they have something in their head about transness that they have actively decided is unattractive.

There’s the rub.

And thinking on that, wondering why that is, asking if that is something they truly feel or something someone told them to feel, examining the way our own brains work, is often a useful practice to being kinder and more understanding to and of ourselves and to and of others.
