[toxic relic]

[neat moat]

hmm

Correct

[neat moat]

So

[frosty tulip]

Can't forget that one

[sacred schooner]

whoever grows the most cocoa beans

[toxic relic]

is it denmark lol

[toxic relic]

nah

you cant do that

[neat moat]

the largest producer of chocolate is the ivory coast

[toxic relic]

a lot of priomary resource countries dont do the secondary resource

[frosty tulip]

Tbh I dunno if the countries that grow the most make the best chocolate

[neat moat]

True

[sacred schooner]

shhh

[frosty tulip]

They usually ship most of it elsewhere

[sacred schooner]

let africa have this one

[toxic relic]

just because a place produces the primary resource does not mean they do the secondary or tertiary

[toxic relic]

produce chocolate or grow cacao

[toxic relic]

real?

[neat moat]

Grow

sorry

but yes

[toxic relic]

oh dude wtf

[candid patio]

i knew that

[toxic relic]

i thought you meant produce chocolate

[neat moat]

Germany produces the knot like edible

but the growers

is the ivory coast

[sacred schooner]

so the largest producer speaks french

[toxic relic]

ok brow you cant grow chocolate

you grow cacao

[frosty tulip]

Censor that word damn it

[neat moat]

Ok bro

[frosty tulip]

There's children around here

[neat moat]

no one guessed Germany though so

[frosty tulip]

Have you no shame?

[candid patio]

i saw a video where a guy brought cocoa harvesters in the ivory coast chocolate bars because they never actually get to have the finished product

[toxic relic]

[neat moat]

wtf

[tiny pecan]

Multiplayer when?

[frosty tulip]

Aren't a lot of those workers basically slaves

[neat moat]

that sucks

[candid patio]

yes they are, its very sad

[toxic relic]

most of the money a country makes is with secondary resources or tools/machines- unless they have a lot of that resource with a monopoly on it

[neat moat]

It’s honestly ridiculous that Build 42 of Project Zomboid still doesn’t have multiplayer. This is supposed to be a multiplayer game at its core, but we’re stuck playing solo while waiting for the devs to finally catch up. If I can deal with crashes, glitches, and half-broken mechanics alone, why can’t I deal with them alongside a friend? The entire appeal of Zomboid is surviving the apocalypse together, building bases together, and watching each other die stupid deaths. Without multiplayer, the whole point feels gutted. Instead of dragging this out, they should just let us play co-op now and patch the bugs as they go. We’ve already proven we’ll slog through the rough edges solo, so why gate multiplayer behind some mythical “perfect” build? It feels like they’ve lost sight of what makes this game special in the first place.

[frosty tulip]

It's why fairtrade chocolate is a thing I'm pretty sure

[toxic relic]

real

[candid patio]

yeah and fairtrade is even a bit of a marketing gimmick

[frosty tulip]

Wouldn't be surprised

[candid patio]

but at least its something

[sacred schooner]

to that I say I don't like multiplayer

[candid patio]

everything's a scam

"cage free eggs" pfft... they just cram thousands of chickens into a massive barn

[neat moat]

3-2-1 aaand scammer gets scammed

[frosty tulip]

It's free range bro, a range of about 2 metres

[candid patio]

at least in the states I have found that the keywords are "pasture raised" and "certified humane."

and those are actually from chickens living a somewhat* decent life (for a chicken).

[toxic relic]

wild chickens are cool

theres a bunch here

[candid patio]

i've never seen anything that i would consider a wild chicken. probably the closest thing would be a grouse

[toxic relic]

theyre just chickens that got released and are chilling near the marshland

several decades ago

[candid patio]

but i've been hiking in places with grouse and they don't just poop out their eggs and abandon them like chickens do

although i suppose they wouldn't lay their eggs on a heavily used hiking trail lol

[icy vigil]

[candid patio]

wtf is a bin chicken lol?

[toxic relic]

damn

[candid patio]

[toxic relic]

theyre called bin chickens cause they're spotted in bins

[candid patio]

those are some silly ass looking birds

[toxic relic]

i fuck with them though

[candid patio]

[candid patio]

[toxic relic]

[toxic relic]

pukeko

[candid patio]

kinda seems like madagascar has birds that fit in with oceanic birds

[toxic relic]

probably

[candid patio]

both of those birds had a bit of a similarities with flamingos

[toxic relic]

theyre distinct compared to east africa

i struggle to comprehend your thought process regarding bird identification lol

[harsh vault]

[harsh vault]

i didnt see

[candid patio]

similar neck and torso proportions and shapes

[toxic relic]

fair

[toxic relic]

gonna disagree with you bud

[toxic relic]

yeah but they look so different

you can get very vague vague morphology maybe

but thats like saying a canary and a velociraptor look the same

[candid patio]

I'm just saying you can tell those 2 birds are closer together than like a red tailed hawk

and they gather food in a similar way

[toxic relic]

do they

[candid patio]

seems like they walk around on their feet / legs and grab bugs / water bugs (shrimp) with their beak and long bendy neck

[toxic relic]

🤔 good insight

id agree with you

[candid patio]

vs like... eating fruit or seeds or grabbing rodents with their claws or carrion etc

[toxic relic]

yeah fair

id agree with you

i like that thought process

im gonna adopt it

its called a killdeer

[neat moat]

thats not creepy

and I doubt that can kill a deer

[candid patio]

they have this screechy chirp that the make

and their legs are disproportionately long for their bodies

and so are their wings

and when you are walking around near them they will take off and flap their big creepy bat wings and sing their screechy sond

very omnious feeling

[candid patio]

pasta sounds fancy. i'd probably just make something similar to naan or a pancake

[neat moat]

No I red starving to death

[toxic relic]

its the opposite of fancy haha

[neat moat]

I didnt read the rest

[onyx igloo]

fancy dishes are usually awful

from my knowledge

[neat moat]

every kitchen has to have potato in it anyways

[toxic relic]

pasta isnt fancy

[neat moat]

[onyx igloo]

[toxic relic]

pasta is not fancy bro

[onyx igloo]

[neat moat]

pasta is associated with fine dining a bit

[sacred schooner]

an old tale that it once was prison slop

[toxic relic]

what lol

so is potato then gurt

[onyx igloo]

everything could be associated with fine dining to an extent

[neat moat]

Well potato is a tubor

[toxic relic]

considering a lot of french fine dining includes potato

[neat moat]

it isnt exactly truffle

[toxic relic]

so

[neat moat]

its just an ingredient not a dish

[toxic relic]

so is pasta

[neat moat]

[sacred schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/raclette-gif-6325974

[toxic relic]

[neat moat]

I didnt know that

I dont eat pasta

[onyx igloo]

how

[neat moat]

I... dont?

Its not my culture

[onyx igloo]

i thought it was everywhere

[candid patio]

i'm just saying pasta is about the fanciest thing you can make with just those ingredients

[neat moat]

I mean it is but I dont like it that much

[toxic relic]

potato can be frites, potatoes au gratin, pommes anna, tartiflette, pommes aligot, pommes de terre fondantes

[candid patio]

unless you want to try to harvest yeast out of the air or something

[toxic relic]

it can be very fine dining

[toxic relic]

its not bro

[neat moat]

potato can be a lot of things this is true

[sacred schooner]

the italian industrial complex will send their finest chef to chop you up gurt

[toxic relic]

pasta is a poor man's dish

[sacred schooner]

pasta is an everything dish

[onyx igloo]

[neat moat]

damn why they so gucci

[toxic relic]

i wasnt referring to ghnocci

i meant what gurt was saying

[onyx igloo]

oh

[neat moat]

stink

I conseeded my point

[toxic relic]

noodles arent pasta and shredded potato is neither and i know he was baiting

[neat moat]

I thought it was a dish

[onyx igloo]

i yawned

[sacred schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/italian-hand-fancy-glove-suit-gif-12351113333434397558

[toxic relic]

idk the romanised but 酸辣土豆丝

[neat moat]

[candid patio]

spaghetti is surely noodles?

[toxic relic]

noo

theyre different ways of making

noodles are a different category

udon, glass, thin, ribbon

soba

etc etc

[onyx igloo]

anytime i get served americanized versions of a dish i have never liked it

[neat moat]

This is overly complicated

[toxic relic]

its culture

and its not complicated lol

[neat moat]

they arent mutually exclusive

[onyx igloo]

my mom makes the authentic versions of dishes so i just go like
"tf is this shit you served me?"

[toxic relic]

i say they are exclusive

and im the only asian person here lol

[neat moat]

complexity isnt inherently bad

[candid patio]

man i don't know... i feel like this is an all squares are rectangles but all rectangles are not squares kind of a question

[toxic relic]

oh different thing

[onyx igloo]

authentic food is always better than an americanized version imo

[sacred schooner]

hello asian person, I'm poutine and burgers person

[candid patio]

one of these words... pasta or noodles... is an umbrella word that encompasses the other

[neat moat]

burritos are americanised

[candid patio]

all catholics are christian but not all christians are catholic

[neat moat]

burritos are gud

[sacred schooner]

name it a fajitas instead

[neat moat]

holy shit somone said it

[candid patio]

wait that's controversial?

[onyx igloo]

really?

didnt know that

[toxic relic]

https://foodsguy.com/noodles-vs-pasta/

[onyx igloo]

well i guess burritos are good

street tacos are really good

[heavy ivy]

i like soup and stew and any other broth dishes

[onyx igloo]

yall ever had a chicken tinga taco?

[sacred schooner]

noodles are superior

[neat moat]

yes, dont diss cultural blending. You're thinking of corpo distilling

[onyx igloo]

ah ues

[candid patio]

this is somewhat true but i will also say that the best burrito i ever had, I was in line to cross from mexico into the united states, so in mexico...

[onyx igloo]

im not the best at describing what i mean

[neat moat]

Anecdotal. Burritos are a very American dish

They arent very popular in Mexico

[onyx igloo]

barbacoa is fire

[neat moat]

corpo distilling ≠ cultural blending

rember

[onyx igloo]

what is corpo distilling

just so i know

[neon bramble]

you know how they jumped on gay pride when everyone else was already on it

[sacred schooner]

well shoving everything into a piece of bread sounds like an american thing

[neat moat]

Like tacobell

Or red panda

[candid patio]

your own article seems to indicate they are mostly a regional difference. it feels like you are arguing that naan isn't bread.

[onyx igloo]

oh

[neat moat]

Its a tad more complicated than that, lets not disrespect the burrito

[neon bramble]

and started selling it to everyone like they were in on it the entire time

[sacred schooner]

I mean that's how I do it

[onyx igloo]

That's.. very gross

[toxic relic]

i consider cultural and regional differences distinct enough

[neon bramble]

dont let them ruin the things you like

[neat moat]

whos them

[toxic relic]

your mom

[onyx igloo]

my mom doesnt ruin anything i like

[toxic relic]

not your mom

his mom

[onyx igloo]

oh

[sacred schooner]

until the 30th of june at 23:59 when they're counting the seconds until they can tear it all down to plaster USA flags, eagles and guns

[toxic relic]

pride is a different month here but same issue haaha

[onyx igloo]

doesnt that only apply to american companies

[toxic relic]

no

[onyx igloo]

oh

[neon bramble]

soon they're going to bust out mariah carey out of her containment

[onyx igloo]

NO

NONONO

[toxic relic]

well replace usa flags with [country] flag and country staples

[candid patio]

man, do you want to trade moms?

[sacred schooner]

Make the USA French

[onyx igloo]

That sounds very illegal

No thank you

[candid patio]

i'm really not sure how that could be illegal...

but that's fine

[onyx igloo]

oh

[neon bramble]

why not irish

[candid patio]

someone will take my mom one day

[neon bramble]

[candid patio]

her husband his financially comfortable and will probably live longer than her

so that's nice

[sacred schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/megumin-absolute-cinema-anime-めぐみん-この素晴らしい世界に祝福を-gif-2403830803888958377

[candid patio]

i won't have to take care of her

[onyx igloo]

sorry its 10:30 my brain is running like a volkswagen during an emissions test

[toxic relic]

those were british army soldiers

[neon bramble]

like father like son

[toxic relic]

thats why he says "come out ye black and tans, come out and fight me like a man"

[sacred schooner]

[onyx igloo]

NO

[neon bramble]

[onyx igloo]

DO NOT MAKE IT THAT

[toxic relic]

haha fair

[sacred schooner]

I'll make it midnight just for you

and you go to work at 5 am

[onyx igloo]

alot of things sound better in my head

then i sound like a dumb stupid idiot

[onyx igloo]

oh hey i get paid

[toxic relic]

naive thinking

[sacred schooner]

I used to remind myself of everytime I sounded cringe, then I got into retail where being cringe is my job

[onyx igloo]

oh boy..

what do you mean

[toxic relic]

soon that paycheck feels like nothing

[candid patio]

baked fish tacos
delicious

[toxic relic]

you're just reminded about how much more your boss is making off of you while you work a shit job at 5 am

really is pennies

[neat moat]

I dont understand people who glory bedrotting. Are we all ok with the idea of becoming mindless zombies at the whims of the algorithm?

[toxic relic]

idk what bedrotting is

[sacred schooner]

your boss hands you a check, then you hand it over to your landlord

[onyx igloo]

what if i rob my boss with a balaclava on

[neat moat]

let me get a working definition

[candid patio]

that's where you stay in bed all day, you don't go to the gym or anything

[onyx igloo]

would that fix the problem

[toxic relic]

[toxic relic]

🤔 so depression?

or a symptom of depression

[neat moat]

"where a person stays in bed for an entire day without engaging in daily activities and chores"

[sacred schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/nervous-nervous-anime-sweat-sweating-nervous-sweating-gif-8464066390113296650

[candid patio]

yeah exactly

[toxic relic]

that sounds like a symptom of depression lol

[sacred schooner]

how'd you know

[neat moat]

yeah exactly

why do people glorfy it

[toxic relic]

every psychiatrist ive had for the past 2 decades

[neat moat]

bedrotting isnt nice, its depressing

[neat moat]

and somone who used to be a "chronic bedrotter"

[sacred schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-hatsune-miku-gif-10434827811447060566

[toxic relic]

probably just a way to rationalise mental illness which is so stigmatised

[neat moat]

real

it genuinely ticked me bc it huts close to home

like, no, I was not happy

[toxic relic]

i have stints where i cant "get up" or engage with the world

real

[onyx igloo]

people glorify depression and its crazy to me
all depression really does to you is make you tired, sad and feel like garbage

its not a cool thing to have

[toxic relic]

sad is an understatement hah

[neat moat]

feeling a bit weepy

[sacred schooner]

ah yes just a tad weepy

[onyx igloo]

how about utter dogshit

[toxic relic]

i would say the glorification is adjacent to the stigmatisation

[sacred schooner]

we're one and only braincell I swear

[toxic relic]

[candid patio]

speaking of depression... i thought to myself "i like my life and I have a nice life and I'm hopeful about my future." today.

[neat moat]

Its my cell youre just visiting

[candid patio]

and i've been having thoughts like that more frequently lately.

[sacred schooner]

no you're using mine

[neat moat]

good

thats good

[toxic relic]

hell yeah brother

its good to appreciate happiness

or contentedness

[candid patio]

i'd pay at least 10 bad days for today

and today wasn't even that great

but it was pretty nice

[neat moat]

awsome

[candid patio]

this framing has been really helpful for me

[onyx igloo]

being homeschooled is really nice because i get to do my schooling at my own pace but it came at the cost of my social skills

i suck at socializing

[candid patio]

my wife and i say that if we had a kid there's no way it would have any kind of school besides home school

we can take them to boyscouts or karate or soccer or baseball for socializing

[sacred schooner]

don't worry, I got through the public system and I still suck at it (unless I go into retail mode)

[onyx igloo]

oh

[neat moat]

public has its ups and downs

[candid patio]

there just seems like so many risks about sending your kid to a western school... public or private

[onyx igloo]

that was my parents concerns

[candid patio]

bullying... gun violence... eating disorders... disatisfaction with family's wealth... etc

[sacred schooner]

I did them all: normal, small, huge and poor then rich with a chef for a cook

[onyx igloo]

also, bullying is fucking stupid

[neat moat]

ain't no homeschooling propaganda in my dgen

[onyx igloo]

people point out shit about you then you just notice it for years on end

[toxic relic]

boarding school

[candid patio]

i'm constantly terrified of having an odor

[sacred schooner]

you look like a fine roasted chicken

https://tenor.com/view/peak-cannibalism-eat-chicken-roast-gif-12049796385727795521

[toxic relic]

man every kid smells like shit

[onyx igloo]

friend i look uncooked

[candid patio]

and i've also been bullied for like.. my cologne smelling too strong

[toxic relic]

lol

thats wild

[candid patio]

so i just try so hard to have no scent

[onyx igloo]

ive been bullied for my weight

[candid patio]

pleasant or otherwise

[onyx igloo]

ive gotten better about it

[toxic relic]

🫂

nothing wrong with being any weight as long as you're comfortable

"healthy" weight != thin

weird misconception that it does

[candid patio]

i'm morbidly obese, unhealthy, and fatphobic lol

[rain mango]

[toxic relic]

🪞 is this the root of your fear

[rain mango]

Thats a lot of extra trait points

[onyx igloo]

this dude pointed out i had a stomache
in retrospect i was healthy and that just was my bodystyle

[toxic relic]

real

[candid patio]

i miss the subreddit /r/fatpeoplehate and the fear of someone taking a picture of me and posting it on that subreddit made me lose a lot of weight

[toxic relic]

as i said, its a misconception that healthy = thin, but thats a lie

[sacred schooner]

beware not to fall off the second floor

[toxic relic]

dude what lol

[candid patio]

they would call people "ham planets" and other really mean things

[toxic relic]

i like to eat well and workout but i dont think theres any shame in not looking like an adonis

why would you want everyone to have the same body type anyways

[sacred schooner]

is it wrong to say that I find it a bit funny

https://tenor.com/view/nervous-nervous-anime-sweat-sweating-nervous-sweating-gif-8464066390113296650

[candid patio]

like this isn't the place for me to be openly fatphobic... but i think above a certain bmi just shows a lack of self control and if they lost some bmi their overall health would improve

[neat moat]

wait you hate fat people?

[toxic relic]

insane

wait until bro hears that bmi isnt a good indicator of health

[sacred schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/the-grinch-hate-hate-hate-double-hate-gif-10410407

[heavy ivy]

yea stink is right on this one bmi isn't super great as a measuring tool

[onyx igloo]

is there a better one?

[toxic relic]

lack of self control is wild too 🤔 like greek moralism thinking
