AnalogyAddict, to foodporn in Nama Chocolate, The Japanese Chewy Chocolate I Made Last Sunday

You can absolutely chill and eat straight ganache. Um…so I hear…

Cultered butter is amazing, and it’s easy to churn in a stand mixer.

Same with ice cream. An ice cream maker makes the difference.

Homemade pasta is indescribably better. If you get a pasta maker, it’s not even that hard. Just a bit time consuming. And it’s sooooo yummy.

I haven’t bought canned pumpkin in 20 years. It’s not bad to process and freeze it, and with good pie pumpkins, it’s unparalleled. Plus you get home roasted pumpkin seeds as a bonus.

AnalogyAddict, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is the term for an abstract personification? (Examples below)

Oh, this is a great word. Thanks! I just went down a huge rabbit hole of synecdoche vs metonym, and I doubt I’ll forget either term soon.

AnalogyAddict, (edited ) to asklemmy in What companies have made your blacklist?

Carl’s Jr. because of that awful sexualized man campaign. Awful ad campaigns also for Dove, Axe, Jimmy John’s and Jersey Mike’s. I’m sure there are others I’m not remembering at the moment.

Burger King and Chili’s because of cavalier attitudes towards food poisoning.

McD’s, Twitter, Susan G. Komen, commercialized fundraising of any kind, and Reddit for obvious reasons.

Lots of games I won’t play and apps I won’t download because of their ads.

AnalogyAddict, to asklemmy in Which things have you avoided or embraced on the name alone?

To be fair, headcheese is exactly as awful as it sounds.

AnalogyAddict, to lemmybewholesome in Ominous positivity

Be happy while you still can.

AnalogyAddict, to asklemmy in What is an musical instrument would you like to know how to play?

Violin, hammered dulcimer, lute.

AnalogyAddict, to asklemmy in What are your favorite names?

Also the dog from Swiftly Tilting Planet.

AnalogyAddict, to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

I never tried to prove God to you. Trying to prove the existence of God is a foolish undertaking. I, quite frankly, don’t care what you believe. I’ve only tried to point out to you that people have plenty of reasons to believe in God that science can’t provide.

You making ignorant ad hominem attacks doesn’t make your bigotry any less transparent. It’s only a comment on you that you’ve ostensibly spent so much time discussing things that are close to people’s hearts without developing a shred of empathy or understanding.

You don’t get to force me into the discussion you want to have by trying to bully me. Your opinion isn’t going to bait me. I’m comfortable with having made the point I wanted to make.

AnalogyAddict, (edited ) to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

You are confusing reasons with proof. Most believe because they choose to. Because believing in God gives them meaning and purpose, and a drive to be better, to do better. And because they have had personal experiences that lead them towards belief.

The proof for them is in the effects that faith has had on them. “By their fruits” and all that. Not far different to the “proofs” of dark matter.

Though it’s very ironic that you stereotype people of faith, and think I’m the one who needs to meet more of them.

AnalogyAddict, to mildlyinteresting in Rare Tri-Colored Dalmation

Yep. This is like calling mixed dogs “designer breeds.” Nah, those are just mutts.

AnalogyAddict, to cooking in Anyone get any good cooking presents?

My parents got me curry ketchup. Jury is still out on whether or not it’s “good.”

AnalogyAddict, to asklemmy in What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?

My kids won’t even eat store bought tortillas.
