That site is weaponized cringe, but "When you're my princess, my face is your throne" goes kinda hard ngl

Oh, I totally agree! My comment was mainly being facetious

Seems like the play will be: She releases a list of names that include lots of people Trump doesn't like and omits anyone he likes, DoJ says "wow, she just helped us crack this thing wide open, super helpful!", leniency is granted, and the country moves on from the whole thing satisfied with the knowledge that Clinton and some other democrats were the only pedophiles after all!

Yeah who would want to deprive themselves of luxuries for awhile, and then reminisce about the experience later!?

😐

Yep, they are convection ovens on steroids when it comes to the amount of airflow.

I was firmly on team "LOL it's a baby convection oven, big whoop" for years, but an actual purpose-made air fryer (not a toaster oven with air fry mode) cooks like an entirely different appliance.

Maybe that explains why the fancy Japanese KitKat flavors never live up to my imagination, despite Asian snacks and candy being generally superior (to my tastes) to similar western items.

Oh well, now I have a good reason to not bother trying them any more.

The one thing Krispy Kreme has going for them is if you can get them fresh and warm, they are pretty damn good, and they generally make them fresh all day. But at least in my area, what they did is open a handful of locations where you could get them freshly-made, let those build some hype for a year or two, then close them down and sell the pre-packaged garbage in grocery stores and gas stations.

IMO they are still generally better than whatever other basic glazed donuts you can buy off the store shelf, but if there's a local bakery that sells fresh donuts though, 10/10 they will be better than Krispy Kreme.

Recent "refugee" from lemm.ee checking in to say thanks for your serverice! I knew going in that joining a smaller instance may not be be quite as polished of an experience as one of the giant ones, but keeping things local and de-centralized seems like a decent tradeoff. As others have mentioned, this is a good reminder for me to drop a donation to keep the lights on!

What if our memes are just super-intelligent aliens storing a backup of their critical knowledge in the collective consciousness of billions of humans?

You ain't got the balls! No. Balls.

I probably got that wrong, but it's also been at least 20 years since I last pressed those blender buttons.

I love his videos. The history portion in the middle is usually entertaining and narrated well enough on its own that you almost forget about the food/recipe content, so it's a nice treat when he switches back to talking about the recipe he's recreated at the end.

I can only speak for myself, but there are plenty of times when the plans sound great in theory, a few days/weeks ahead of the thing. But then when the thing is imminent, that excitement turns to anxiety. It usually has nothing to do with not wanting to do the thing or see the people, but some more gut-level aversion to having your time pre-committed on a day where your body feels the need to just chill or recharge your social battery.
