My 30-something wisdom is that your palate is constantly changing so don't assume because you hated a food 10 or 20 years ago you still will. Most radically, your taste as a little kid is not indicative of what it will be as an adult-- I've known too many adults who still refuse to eat anything but chicken strips and ketchup because they're still basing their taste on what they experienced at 8 years old and so have cut themselves off from the entire world of adult taste. In my case, my taste for savory foods, especially vegetable dishes, "bitter" foods, and more complex flavor combinations has really expanded. I didn't like mushrooms as a child or for most of my 20s, but around 28 suddenly they worked for me. I started enjoying dark chocolate around 25, especially paired with fruit flavors. I've never been hugely fond of eggplant but discovered that in a sauce or roasted in butter and oil its delicious. I've always enjoyed fish but in the last 15 years I've discovered a passion for it, salmon especially. I've learned to recognize the tastes of herbs and love putting them into everything I can (currently I'm most enthusiastic about dill.) I'm also suddenly crazy about all kinds of sandwiches. And I'm still trying olives every couple years in case suddenly they start working for me, though sadly no luck on that front yet. So basically, expect that your taste is going to change in adulthood and expect that it will keep changing. And you can also work to develop your palate by exposing yourself to new flavors and combinations and cuisines, opening you up to even more foods you might never have liked before. So keep trying new and old foods, because you never know when you might suddenly start liking something new or discover a new way it can be prepared or a new texture it can come in. Don't wind up imprisoned in a world of chicken strips just because you haven't tried anything else since 3rd grade, you deserve better.

Sits on your dash

You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still

was reading a memoir my grandmother wrote, and. grandma. grandma you can’t just say that. grandma you can’t just MOVE ON TO ANOTHER SECTION after that. grandma.

was waiting on an emergency plumber, decided to smoke by my car instead of stare at my fucked up kitchen. he pulled up next to me, leaned out the window and goes "i'm assuming you're the client" like yeah buddy, read that one right

honorary best friend, mike the plumber, has saved the day. "don't worry, i've got pvc couplings you've probably never even seen before." brother, i wasn't aware that was something i could worry about

honey we just really need that booktok demo

(based on that one short where she's promoing Bloodsong and definitely not trying not to throw up)

I fully believe that conservatives do not want their tax dollars going to fund school lunches for children because they see children not as individual people but rather as extensions of their parents, and they view a child’s hunger as a moral failing of the parent to maintain their property rather than a hungry child being a vulnerable individual that deserves to be fed.

forever confused about the number of people on this site who think "children are property and not people" is a "right-wing" belief and not like. completely normalised among 90% of society

the belief that children are people is radical. it is wholly outside the Overton window. average "love is love" liberal will straight up say shit like "children do not have rights" with zero prompting.

"If we cant have (thing humans consume) without labor exploitation, extraction of surplus value, and slavery/slavery conditions then maybe we shouldnt have (thing humans consume)" I feel like thats not a very communist thing to say actually!!! You sound like the joker!!!

Really wild to think about but production actually can be accomplished without slavery and labor exploitation. There are no slavery atoms or slavery DNA in the cocoa beans if you can believe it, they can actually be removed from the tree by people who are paid correctly! I wonder if theres an old german guy with a weird beard who had anything to say about this.
