It’s a lot easier for me to scoop 1/2 teaspoon of two spices, one tablespoon of another, and 2 teaspoons of a fourth than to measure 1.8 grams of one, 2.2 grams of one, 5.2 grams of one, and 3.8 grams of a fourth. The scoops I can put in the container and level off the top using the same container. The other way, I have to gently sprinkle or slowly scoop and sprinkle so it doesn’t go over the required amount.
Way faster for me to scoop, level, dump.
I don’t know anyone who’s used IRC in the last fifteen years at least.
At least back when I used IRC, it wasn’t indexed either. It was just an alternative to AOL Instant Messenger or Yahoo Chat.
Being told that you should expect comments from random strangers based on your clothes is kind of creepy, tbh. Why can’t people keep to themselves?
I can’t stand the art style.
Interesting. I read these as a kid and remember nothing but them being ripping good yarns.
I look at it more on the level of discussing crimes via text or email or what have you. (I’m not saying sexting is or should be a crime. It’s an analogy).
If you don’t want it to get out, don’t document it. If you don’t care if it gets out, do whatever you want.
That’s not to say that it wouldn’t also be nice to have control over your own image nor that people shouldn’t go to jail for revenge porn, etc., but once it’s out there, it’s out there. You can’t put it back into Pandora’s box. That’s just how reality works.
Interesting thought.
I use a butter spreader for butter, but a spoon for jam/jelly. I don’t think I would like the spoon for butter myself, but it’s neat to see other people who use spoons to spread condiments.
Now try making tortillas in ten minutes.
I don’t keep milk or heavy cream in the house and I don’t think it would work as well with soy, so I don’t think this will work for everyone.
We also have that in Michigan. You still see bottles and cans places. Historically, there have a lot of ‘reward programs’ that incentivised keeping bottle caps separate (either from the company or occasionally locally for reasons). I also distinctly remember it being advertised that bottle needed to be capless for recycling, so we always removed the caps and tossed them. Only recently have I seen verbiage on bottles requesting them to be recycled with caps on, which I usually forget to do because it’s habit to toss the caps.
Folks who play professionally are often both. I don’t think that’s really all that subjective.

As an American from the Midwest, babies with pierced ears is pretty normal. It wouldn’t really get any looks or anything.
Hamilton.
Thought it was probably fine, but massively overrated. Avoided pretty much everything about it until I saw it live.
It was better than the hype.
Most people don’t keep relish forks on hand.
I also do this. There’s two of us!
Do you eat the chocolate fluff in between the wafer layers before eating the wafers as well or do you just eat the wafers together?
See, I hate crust, so I don’t really care about it. It’s all about how good the filling is.
Usually the thick pies aren’t that great to me, but mine comes out with a very light consistency so that’s probably why.
Most store bought pies suck though and none of them use cardamom, which is really the key to a great pumpkin pie.
Yet my cat loves pumpkin and olives. Omg, will she go crazy for some pumpkin and olives.
Not really. It depends on what it is. There are entire games and items that aren’t available in the US, but make a killing in Asia.
Like, here’s Genshin Impact numbers from 2023.
On that game, the US comes in at 7th, is less than half of the top country (Japan) and is notably behind Switzerland.
For Tik Tok specifically, we can look at their annual reports.
Let’s look at average annual users per region. 682M in Asia Pacific, which does not include China. 192M in North America.
China’s numbers are 750M daily.
I don’t think most of their money comes from the US.
