BlueLineBae, to memes in I wish sleep wasn't so appealing now.

Bruh, I’m 33 and I started playing Subnautica for the first time a few weeks ago only to realize that in the first day I accidentally played for 10 hours. You just need to find the right game for you to revitalize your interest in gaming. Whatever that game may be!

BlueLineBae, to upliftingnews in South Korea passes ban on dog meat consumption
@BlueLineBae@midwest.social avatar

I am firmly of the belief that most of the issues in the meat/dairy industry would be resolved if everyone simply consumed less of them as opposed to becoming vegan. That’s how I live my life and I’ve gotten praises from doctors and nutrition specialists about my diet. Exercise is another thing tho…

BlueLineBae, to food in Which proteins contain the most microplastics? A study of more than a dozen kinds of protein, including beef, tofu and breaded shrimp, found microplastics in nearly 90 percent of the tested samples
@BlueLineBae@midwest.social avatar

This study isn’t really about kinds of protein, it’s more about different protein products and the amount of micro plastic in relation to the amount of processing. If it was just about kinds of protein, then the chart would just say “chicken” or “soybeans” instead of “plant based nugget” or “chicken breast”. Very eye opening about breaded shrimp. I would have assumed those were no worse off than a fish stick, but apparently they’re worse than chicken nuggets. In the end this just goes to reiterate that the more processed something is, the more sus it is to eat :/

As a graphic designer, I have seen a LOT of weird stock photos. This was a new one and I didn’t expect it. Congratulations?

BlueLineBae, to asklemmy in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
@BlueLineBae@midwest.social avatar

A falling knife has no handle.

I literally repeat this out loud anytime a knife falls and I think it’s become my mental stopping mechanism to make sure I don’t try to catch it.

I absolutely love all the opossum memes. And this one is top tier!

BlueLineBae, to movies in Watching Assault on Precinct 13
@BlueLineBae@midwest.social avatar

During the pandemic, my husband and I started watching movie anthologies of various themes. One of them was of Director John Carpenter. To this day, of all the anthologies we’ve watched, that one is still my absolute favorite. His movies are so much fun, influential, and evolve in very interesting ways over time. If you haven’t already, I can’t recommend enough to watch his other movies. Glad you enjoyed this one!

BlueLineBae, to mildlyinteresting in Cookie experiments
@BlueLineBae@midwest.social avatar

This is very close to the “perfect” recipe I use from Tasty. But they add in a little bit of espresso powder. It’s not enough to make the cookies taste like coffee, but it does make the chocolate flavor more intense. I really like this recipe, but now I want to try the ATK recipe and see which one is better because I swear by the Tasty recipe ever since I found it. Here it is if anyone’s curious: tasty.co/…/tasty-101-ultimate-brown-butter-chocol…

BlueLineBae, to asklemmy in What can the US do to help Mexico finally stop the cartels?
@BlueLineBae@midwest.social avatar

From what I understand, the US is actively investing in the Mexican economy right now in order to both shift our manufacturing reliability away from China and also to provide economic stability in Mexico to shift power away from the cartels. Please take this with a grain of salt as I do not remember where I read this and cannot provide a source. But from what I recall, the long term plan is to setup manufacturing in Mexico for the above reasons with the bonus of reducing shipping costs, time, and shipment vulnerability. I really hope it works, because if you think about it, it just makes sense all around. If we make Mexico our biggest trade partner, we both benefit in big ways. And the more options people have in Mexico for jobs, the less they have to rely on the cartel.

Aside from that, I used to agree that legalizing drugs would take the market away from the cartels, but then you have to remember that the cartels have since diversified. So stop eating Haas avocados??? I don’t know, I’m just a graphic designer ¯_(ツ)_/¯

BlueLineBae, to asklemmy in What are some easy ways that you can improve energy efficiency and be more eco-friendly in your rental apartment?
@BlueLineBae@midwest.social avatar

You can do a lot but it depends on how much you can get away with in your apartment. I was lucky enough to have a landlord who didn’t give a shit about the property or what you did to it as long as you paid your rent and didn’t make trouble. This was an appartment building that was over 100 years old and renovated sometimes in the 90s. So when my husband and I moved in we did a whole lot of stuff. We took out all the lightbulbs and replaced them with LEDs and put the old bulbs back in the boxes for when we moved out. We replaced the broken halogen light fixtures with LED fixtures. We replaced the thermostat with one that has timed settings. We removed the broken crumbling plastic window fixtures and replaced them with blackout fixtures and double hung curtains. We added sealant to the windows which didn’t have any for some reason. We replaced one of the door seals and would fill window cracks with paper in the winter. I’m guessing a lot of this stuff you couldn’t get away with in a strict apartment and some people wouldn’t want to do all that or know how to. The only reason we did is because we could and we intended on being long-term renters. In the 5 years we were there he never cared and never raised our rent. But all of those things saved us money on gas and electric over those years. Obviously if you own a place, you can do more things that are even more effective and permanent, but this is a rental we’re talking about. Just make sure you know what you can get away with before you do it.

This made me laugh too hard first thing in the morning. I sure do miss clever starter packs like this one.
