Man, if you’ve never tagged out with Cactus Jack while banging someone, you ain’t lived

Ngl, that looks like a fun group. Back at that age, seeing that many boys smiling and getting along long enough for a picture was not realistic at my school lol.

Die? It’s not going to die any time soon, on a corporate level.

It’s already dead in the ways that made it worth using.

Was it mom’s?

You know, I agree, especially about Alton not being the cause as much as it is the viewers looking for am excuse to feel holier-than-thou about something.

You’re dead right that people took his work way too far and assumed that because he was breaking things down into the underlying food science and methodology that the exact preparations he used were default the best, period.

He wasn’t prone to that himself, though he did go hard against myths.

He’s a terrific food educator. One of the best in television history imo. But you’re also dead right about the entertainment side screwing things up. His on screen persona, combined with the structure of good eats as a show made it too easy for food snobs to glom onto the wrong parts

Man, I would love a place like that.

I haven’t had access to good, fresh strawberries since I heard about it, but even grocery store ones were yummy. Maybe not the best thing ever, I would prefer a strawberry shortcake pretty much every time. But it’s essentially the same flavors (excepting the sour cream); the textures are what makes it a new experience.

This is the recipe I used.

It worked really well, maybe fifteen, twenty minutes of work total. I kept things kinda medium chunky. Used a potato masher for maybe ten mashes. Tried it both warm and chilled. The taste was more strawberry forward warm, but it was overall better chilled since the sauce hits the tongue different. It kinda rolls across, deploying the strawberry in layers with the sour cream more. Made for better mouth feel and general taste, at the expense of that vibrant strawberry kick.

Nice catch, thanks :)

Man, people miss out on so much good eating because of preconceptions and gatekeeping.

Berries go with almost anything. And yeah, technically strawberries aren’t berries. But the point is that pretty much every berry is a blend of acidic tartness, sweetness, and complex flavors. There’s no world in which berries make something bad.

Any fruit has the potential to go with any standard food. Meats, pastas, breads, even veggies. It’s a matter of balancing the specific fruit with the other ingredients.

That’s why pineapple on pizza works. Tangy, sweet, and with that hard to describe tropical fruitiness. It brings out the sweetness of a good tomato sauce while cutting through the fattiness of toppings and any oils.

Pork chops and applesauce baby, it’s a classic for reason. Pork stuffed with apples; and other things, orange chicken or duck, blackberry glazed venison roast (seriously, you want to try it), apricot beef (or lamb), curried goat with prunes (or apricot, or peaches even), roasted brussels sprouts with apples and cranberries.

It’s all about the balancing with other things.

The Polish strawberry pasta? It’s balanced out with sour cream that mutes the sweetness some, and works as a bridge with the pasta.

I know I’m talking into a void here, what with this being a meme, but I’m always so amazed that people will dismiss a food combination without trying it, or sometimes without even trying to imagine the possibilities.

Ah, the best software I only use once a year

This is why I’ll never buy anything Nintendo again. They’ve made too much of a habit of fucking over people.

Don’t forget the cat ears

Fiiiine.

What is it with you? Are you a taco with no name? A taco with an addiction? A taco addict? I don’t know what sadist shady shit you’re into with tacos, but I’m onto you! Oh yes, I’ll be watching every comment you make until I figure it out!

Half of the list is fairly obvious, but the rest have me baffled

It’s like you said, it’s effectively a way of being a bigot without having the balls to just be a bigot. Make up shit and slap it on someone as an accusation, it’s fucking lame as hell.

Gods damn dude, what the fuck is your problem? At this point in this thread, squid could actually be a zionist, and you’d still be the asshole. Get a life

Yup

Okay, this is malarkey. Two frikkin pics of heads that need pets, but no proof of petting.

You, sir, are a scoundrel!

Tangent!

I used to prefer being DPS. And then I played the first game that made healers and tanks fun for me. Shaiya. Wasn’t the best game overall. Kinda bad, and a ripoff of some parts of WoW. But it was fun to heal in, and very fun to tank in. You really could change the entire gameplay based on how you tanked, and how you healed.

Then I moved over to battle/war of the immortals. Again, flawed games, but tanking and healing were fun. Healing more than tanking in those two, but still more fun than DPS.

When I switched over to Neverwinter as my main gaming focus, the way they had the classes be able to handle tanking and/or healing was the most fun I’d ever had playing in PUGs. I could pop onto my haste cleric, keep everyone alive while also boosting them and put out play damage solo. Paladin? Same idea, only the team wouldn’t get hit much if at all. The fighter class was essentially pure tank, and good at it, but not as much fun as paladin for me.

I had more fun playing supports, heals and tanks than I ever did on DPS. It didn’t hurt that, on the games I played, I was great at tanking and healing. Enough so that my guilds/alliances would plan events around my schedule, even when the people were on the other side of the planet. Even on Shaiya, which was totally pay to win, I could out heal and out tank players that dumped tons of cash into it.

I miss it sometimes, but I’d have to rebuild my gaming PC to be able to play neverwinter now, because no way am I starting completely over on the ps5 with a controller that makes it much harder to play those classes. And none of the console based MMOs really entice me currently.

Afaik, there’s no apps that do that. You’re likely just going to have to block individual accounts

Being real though, I often have more than 20 comments a day. It really isn’t that difficult to rack up if you’re bored and have the time. I’m not much of a poster, but 10 a day isn’t too far outside of feasibility for a person that’s into memery. So you’d end up filtering out people that would likely be good to have access to over time, even if it’s rare. If you do figure out a way to do it, might want to bump your threshold up a little.
