Slaw ain’t mayo and cabbage. It’s more of a cabbage salad, the way you make chicken salad, or whatever.
It’s all about the extras, the mayo is just the carrier, and the slaw is your base.
You have to bring pepper to the mix, or you’re wasting your time. A bit of apple cider vinegar too. From there, it’s about fine tuning.
The carrots are optional, obviously. And I’ve seen raisins added when there’s carrots, and it’s here than it sounds.
But. Spice wise, you should bring a touch of paprika to the mix, a little pinch of cumin maybe, and some ground red pepper to give that kick underneath those.
Gotta be friendly with your salt cellar, but not too crazy.
And, believe it or not, the tiniest hint of sugar. I’m talking a literal pinch of the stuff per head of cabbage. Maybe two if you’re feeling weird. It enhances the spices, makes the vinegar more subtle, and amplifies the salt so you don’t have to use as much salt. Kinda like how a tiny bit of salt in sweet things can let you use less sugar and still get the flavor right.
Keep your cabbage spread small, smaller than you think it should be. The smallest size in most graters is where you want to be.
Now, instead of this bland mess, you’ve got something that pops and brings its own taste to the party.
Dude, you gotta come south! Even the bad slaw here is edible, unless it’s made by damn yankees that moved here.
Like, maybe you wouldn’t like it, but slaw varies so much by recipe and by ingredients quality that it never surprises me that someone hates it until they try a different version, but still hates the original version they thought of as slaw.
Like, even KFC slaw, which is mid tier at best, I can just skip the damn chicken and have that. And that ain’t good slaw.
Like, damn. You get some nice, peppery cabbage, shred it fine and do more than add mayo, and you’ll be at edible for sure. Maybe not something you get seconds of, but it’s okay enough.
I fucking love some fucking slaw. Cole slaw is pretty much my favorite slaw, but there’s vinegar slaws too, and even yogurt slaws. And damn, you get some bbq slaw, all vinegary and with plenty of red pepper in it, there isn’t anything better on pit smoked bbq. Like, damn! Whether it’s on the bun with it, or as a side with a bbq plate, it cuts through the fats as a palate cleanser, and still manages to be worth eating on its own.
And some yogurt slaw? Fuck me running! It’s more like a fruit salad with a lot of cabbage added tbh, but it works. Carrots, raisins, and finely sliced apples, some salt and pepper. You’ll slap yo mama.
Oh! And you get some fucking prime-ass cole slaw, you grab a biscuit, you slap some fried chicken on that motherfucker and top it with slaw. Gods damn, boys, that’s the fucking lunch if champions right there!
Nah, veganism is a religion. You don’t get into a religion because of pictures of meat.
Now, pictures like this may turn someone’s stomach and make them stop wanting to eat meat, though I have no idea how damn wimpy someone would have to be for this picture to bother them, but a piece of meat in front of them wouldn’t.
Hell, I’ve been wrist deep inside of wounds and it didn’t turn me vegan. I’ve cleaned up road kill and it didn’t turn me vegan.
This is just some clean meat decorated. It’s no different than stuffing a turkey, or butterflying a chicken breast, or doing a stuffed roast, or a braciole.
Seriously, I’m being a dick here, but you have to be a giant fucking wimp to see this picture and be so grossed out that you stop eating meat. Like, any motherfucker that can’t handle this picture would fucking die if they ever had to actually kill their own food. And that’s such a massively wimpy thing, I can’t think of a word for how utterly fucking lame that is. Like, motherfuckers, what the fuck would you do if you got injured and saw your own muscles? Pass the fuck out and die, that’s what would happen.
Are people really that disconnected from reality? That the sight of some clean meat is some kind of horror? Jesus fucking Christ on a pogo stick, how sheltered does someone have to be for that? I mean, offense intended, but anyone that grossed out by this picture needs to grow the fuck up and get some life experience.
Morals, that’s religion right there, and when a religion starts from the default of assuming it’s the only right answer, it’s a shit religion, no matter what other arguments are involved.
Is it not though? Vegans act like it’s their religion, it fulfills similar social needs, they behave in the same wau as religious zealots. They exhibit the same assumption that their belief is the one true belief, and anyone that does not come to their belief is flawed.
Man, it ain’t the beans, it’s the peppers and/or spices.
Seriously, I’m not fucking with you. Beans are great insoluble fiber, and they reduce the effect of the other ingredients to some degree. This is a widely used way for IBS sufferers to reduce the impact of the effect. Extra beans, as long as you aren’t sensitive to the beans themselves (which is a thing), or added dairy (again, if that isn’t a trigger for you), and doubling up the tortillas all help to some degree.
If the dish is also fatty, that’s going to end in your end not ending well. Since what a lot of people think of as “Mexican” tends to be like what you get at Chipotle or Taco Bell, the fattiness is assumed.
But, mostly, active moderation is what made spam controlled. You can’t totally do away with bots because the people running them will adapt to anything automated. But a small team of humans (or a single human on a small enough forum) can keep things to the point where any bot posts are taken down before long.
Mind you, reddit automod could help a shit ton. Once you figure out how to set it up, you can fine tune things. Hell, just the ability to make flairs mandatory reduces bots because it isn’t worth the time and effort for the bot runners to set up to auto flair posts. Some will, but not many (and never the usual scam bots, they target subs on reddit with bad moderation to begin with).
You could set up filters to target any spam a given sub would develop by keyword, urls, etc.
So far, lemmy doesn’t need that level of automation, and karma really wouldn’t help things as lemmy exists now. Karma just makes the barrier of entry a tiny bit higher because it’s easy to game.
If lemmy ever does hit hundreds of thousands of active users per hour, automation would be necessary, but the numbers aren’t high enough yet to make it worth the dev focus. And when it does happen, there will probably be user generated solutions anyway.
Right now, we’ve just gotta be willing to report the bots and spammers.
Acoustic? You’d need something lively and familiar. A great option for country music is “friends in low places”. Oldies, “hound dog” can get a party bouncing. More modern pop, something like cee-lo green’s “fuck you” would work okay (there’s tabs for it, and I’ve heard it done on acoustic, and it did get a crowd going).
Electric, it’s way too open, but that’s more of a party killer because it’s just too loud for small settings and good conversation, which is what actually makes a home party fun. If you wanted loud music, you’d play stuff on a stereo rather than have one guitarist noodling and fucking around (and they will noodle and fuck around, guitarists can’t help it).
So, it’s really about the crowd, in other words. Unless the crowd is musically homogeneous, you gotta go with famous songs that cross genres because of the popularity.
I’ve noticed that I actually sleep better taking them in the morning and don’t feel that groggy at all. Is there a valueable effect that I’m missing from taking them in the mornings instead of in the evenings?
I’ll echo that this is really something to talk in depth with, with your provider.
That being said, I can relay what I’ve been told by providers along with the anecdotal.
Any antidepressant is going to need to “build up” in your system to keep you feeling better. But any pill is going to have a cycle through the day. You take it, and it needs time to get that pill taken up from your digestive tract. Towards the end of your dosage, the levels will dip slightly.
If you take it when you wake up, you’re having that uptake process happen while you’re trying to get going in the morning. If you take it before bed, by the time you wake up, the dosage is going to be stable. That stability will last through most people’s normal day, when they need the effects the most. Your two times when the support of the medication are the weakest will be when you (theoretically) have the least external stressors, which is while sleeping.
Secondarily, bedtime rituals are easier to remember because there’s no need to rush around getting ready for the day, leading to better compliance with stable dosage. You fall into the habit of bedtime, and there’s less to interrupt that patterm.
Now, my personal experience is that taking the pills before bed is better because the affect on dreams is better. SSRIs are notorious for causing dream changes. I’m already hyperphanstastic (extra vivid dreams and mental imagery). If I take my dose in the morning, then I’m at the low point of the dose when sleeping, which tends to cause less pleasant dreams. Since the kind of dreams I have when I’m not on an antidepressant tend to be the sort you don’t want, there’s no way in hell I’m doing a morning dose as the norm. You really, really don’t want the kind of nightmares I have with the hyper vividness I dream in.
Obviously, that’s not going to be the case for everyone, but it is true that most people will have less dream disturbances if the take their dose before bed rather than in the morning. It’s that gradual uptake minimizing the effects of the meds on dreams, and avoiding the disturbances that can be caused when a dose is falling off.
There’s other little things as well, though they tend to be individual. An example of that is pain relief. If that’s one of the effects you take them for, the pain reduction of a fresh dose is typically more useful while sleeping, and during the early part of your day.
I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m looking for better understanding of your opinion.
My understanding of the retention being part of the port is to make it less likely for the port to be damaged by use, requiring more difficult replacements compared to the added stress from on cable retention on older formats.
So far, that’s matched my personal experience, where my usb-c devices’ ports hold up better than my micro usb ports. The handful of micro usb devices I have left all have loose ports currently, and did after as little as a year of use. None of my usb-c do, with of of those approaching three years of use (iirc, might be a little less).
Isn’t that a good thing for long term device life?
I can see that being an issue for sure, what with repairability already being such a dismal thing in electronics. I kinda forget that not everyone is comfortable with opening things up as well. Just that barrier to entry is enough for plenty of people to just buy the next thing instead of repairing.
We don’t get door to door trick or treat any more.
So I do home made treats , and have up a sign that adults can request them for their kids. Unaccompanied kids would be SOL, but the ones we get are people that know I do it, so there’s always an adult making the request.
I actually ran out this year entirely. There’s usually a little left over. I lost count of the cars after about thirty. Small town, word gets around past the folks that know me personally (which is how it started, me doing baggies for kids I know along with store bought packaged candy).
Kinda funny, I was ranting earlier about how Halloween got screwed up because of jerks messing with kids, and it breaking the point of Halloween. But this is the busiest year I’ve had in ages because I went old school lol.

Someone picks up a guitar at a party, what song would be hype if they played?
There is always the joke that people only play 1 of 3 songs on a guitar, but is there a song that would make you super happy to hear someone play?
next to groggyness, is there an additional reason to take SSRI's in the evening?
I’ve noticed that I actually sleep better taking them in the morning and don’t feel that groggy at all. Is there a valueable effect that I’m missing from taking them in the mornings instead of in the evenings?
