The packets are pretty good. You can get curry paste in jars but I've only seen it at the Indian grocery store. I usually stick to the packets because I'm too lazy to drive there.

I've found a lot of both Indian and Thai food to be surprisingly easy to cook at home. Both are just so far from my "normal" flavors, it felt so daunting

My method for finding roguelikes thus far has been to browse steam's new releases and see what Northernlion has been playing...which isn't very efficient. I checked out the article you linked and a few others and this is exactly what I'm looking for

Personally I feel like RSS feeds are antithetical to social media. Content creators control what shows up, not a third party who finds it interesting and wanted to share. I replied and we're having a chat about it!

I really should have clarified "the popular depictions of the people" but yeah, half of my family is from Georgia so I spent a lot of time in the south over the years. There's certainly no shortage of good people but stereotype unfortunately exists for a reason. That said, those same people are in rural Michigan, Indiana, Wyoming, New York...but I guess they don't have the slavery connotations

Funny you bring up Indian food....literally 10 minutes ago I was explaining the cuisine to a coworker who had never tried it and suggested she give Tikka Masala a spin. And then explained how it's Indian food but also probably British.

I just what's federated here. I couldn't get any friends to switch to mastodon so I never really got into it. I'm not interested in following influencers and celebrities (outside of Ben Collins on bluesky)

Ahh I didn't know he had a car one, I just saw the zip tie tech in the post. Definitely zero interest in the former but I might check out his tech channel

You have self control not to drink at a bar. You also have self control to not go to the bar because you know you'll drink. It's controlling a different thing but it's still control

College was actually awesome with early social media. Organizing stuff was soooo easy and having what is effectively a group calendar was incredible. I've been off the site for over a decade but I made a TON of friends on there that I would have never run into on campus otherwise

Yeah but you should just believe it because The Serfs TV screenshot their witty reply and shared it. Please don't forget to subscribe, this is an ad after all

I think this was specifically a mastodon dig - which I totally get. Feels like most of what I see from there is quite obnoxious.

I hate that reddit-style sites federate with twitter-style sites, too. I #don't #want #to #see #a #million #fuckin #hashtags #in #the #title

I dunno, this is arguably more self control than ignoring the phone. They're so dedicated to controlling it, they're giving up all the perks of owning a smartphone

Also, you're 50. You had no pressure to get on social media through school so never having installed them isn't surprising at all. And frankly, social media is incredible for...being social... when you're in college

See, even I didn't know that about the rice.

I think a lot of cuisines south of the mason dixon get a bad reputation because of the people.

Nah, think of the shape the hose would make. You need a trap so when it's not connected to your faucet, you don't have a bug highway into your kitchen

No no, no disrespect intended by that. It just sounds like a knockoff. Fool's gold, mocktail, texmex, etc.

To anyone unfamiliar, texmex is not some sort of "what if we combined X and Y?" Michelin star fusion. It's the natural evolution of cuisine trade between northern Mexicans and Texans (tejanos). A lot of things people think of as Mexican are actually texmex. Like fajitas. I think queso or nachos?
