It’s the texture.

The taste is distinct, but not really bad. I don’t mind the mild flavor left over in a sandwich that had a tomato slice.

But I can’t stand the texture of a tomato. Not sure exactly why, but even a small chunk in soup or salsa makes me gag. I blend salsa up so it’s consistent.

And onions are both for me. A tiny piece of onion will ruin the entire burrito. From the weird crunch to the taste that lingers even after I down a few chips and half my drink.

I go through onion powder fairly quick though, I add a little bit to a lot of my dishes.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

My two least favorite things individually, yet essential to so many delicious things.

I would immediately use them to make some food and bring it over.

I have it on good authority that you may fascinate a woman by giving her cheese.

Although it looks like I’m two hours late on that reference…

Uhhhhhh you should probably at least drain out the placenta fluid…

Fake fans in shambles right now

That is some amazing detail work. 10/10

I know for a fact I’m opinionated, and don’t have problems sharing them.

Please, by all means, block me if you think seeing my comments is adversely affecting you. I’d rather be ignored by someone than make their day worse (unless they’re actively trying to make others miserable, but that’s a separate discussion)

The fediverse has definitely gotten a little less hostile after blocking a few things.

And remember you can jump ship to another instance at any time! I’ve hopped a few times but for now my instance is filling my needs without much drama that I am aware of.

Ugh. They always try to get you with the shipping… Pass.

My takeaway at least.

I’ve had more conversations than I can count with people I would never be able to talk to in person, all using our own native languages.

The original posts are in English, people comment in their native language, and I use a translator, then respond in my own language. Is the translator perfect? No! Neither is theirs.

With the way most translators I’ve used work, it’s easier for the non-native speaker to try translating, since the translator might try and use different words that entirely change the meaning, but likely list possible alternatives. A native e speaker will understand the alternatives while a non-native speaker probably won’t.

That’s my thought process anyway.

Never had anyone who wasn’t pearl-clutching or virtue-signaling complain about it. And I’ve had tons of conversations with people I’d never have talked to otherwise.

Nothing says “we are a free and open community that welcomes others” like moderators banning discussion of poor moderation.

Yes, I do understand what the rule is there for. No that doesn’t make it any less hilariously shitty.

Beware that Nvidia cards have driver issues, they’re fixable but if you do have an Nvidia card, I’d just use the built in graphics chip for trying out Linux at first.

Well, shit. Extra work for me. I knew I should have waited for the AMD series to be in stock…

I know just enough about Linux to know I should have been getting into it when I graduated over a decade ago.

I also know just enough to know it can do pretty much everything I need, as long as I’m willing to switch to a Linux alternative with similar capabilities.

However, I am Linux-dumb and deeply set into my windows, to the point where I’m not sure I have the technical savvy to switch.

From my understanding, Linux works very well, as long as you know what you’re doing.

I’m sure I’m overestimating the learning curve but it’s still intimidating.

/j then you don’t love your mother enough to learn coding and make a mom-proof distro.

/uj oh my god I have ptsd from the one time my parents tried to switch to apple products. It lasted less than a week. Please don’t let them decide to switch to Linux and ask me things.
