Lol, full blown feudalism. Fuck, people are stupid! This is how you lose your freedom of movement and get tied to the land like serfs of old who owned nothing and were absolutely slaves with the only exception being a theoretical right to legal action from rape and murder. This means forty percent of people are for a thousand years of sociopolitical regression.

If I wasn’t partially disabled and so easily injured, pain would probably do it for me too… Probably most hardcore cyclists as well, at least racers. That is pure pain for amusement type stuff. It is hard to communicate pain effectively to another person. It would likely be amusing to show what I’m really capable of with another person. I break bones and still ride dozens of miles home bleeding the whole way, but that only says so much.

Being banned from communities doesn’t mean anything to me. I’m basically banned from my entire social network I had growing up because of atheism. Grounding one’s perspective loosely against the stereotypes of others is just a transferable form of measure. The way you perceive the prerogative of others is none of my business or relevant to the level of abstraction of this question. You’re grounding the context too much in meaning that is not a required aspect of the question.

Identifying ones comfort zone is healthy for self awareness. Everyone has a comfort zone. The legality and external judgements of others are irrelevant to the question. The scale given does ground the question to cultural norms in an attempt to build a more translatable reference, but externalization is not the intended spirit of the question, nor is this some request to share one’s kinks or reasoning. It is really a question of how one views their self awareness internally. In a way, this is a more accurate measure of an individual’s conservatism internally.

In abstract, everyone has an answer to this question. This is not intended to offend, or in any way judge anyone. Feel free to object or abstain, but I did not ask the question to judge you or guilt you in any way; quite the opposite really.

Edit: sorry for asking and participating. I should have known better. I’m not here for feedbackless negativity under any circumstances. To me, down voting is like being an asshole to a random well intentioned stranger. I would much rather you block me entirely.

What a ham

I went to a 90% black k-12 advanced magnet school from 9th-12th grade in the Southeastern USA. I’m white. I never really got like an intense interest or anything. This level of stereotype culture is of limited interest to me personally. It was just my culture group for a time. I dated a black girl for awhile, and a Persian girl for awhile too. I even picked up a few lines of Farsi, although I don’t remember any of them now.

The culture is very different in the black American south. Probably the biggest takeaway I have is that poverty culture largely forms the flavor of any community, and communities without poverty have no flavor to them. The struggles are very real, but the solutions are never straight forward. Neglect and abuse causes irreparable harm and scaring as deep as a community and cultural level. Only persistent change and time can heal those wounds. No outsider has a right to minimize or belittle those traumatized by abuses and neglect.

Hydroforming is very common on bicycles now too. The most controlled of these forming applications is usually found on the highest end Cannondale CAAD bikes.

I never do recipes with anything. The lemons were a combo of a couple of dozen that were juiced and like a cup of brown sugar. The lemons were all fresh off a neighbour’s tree, and the water was all rain from the patio, but I’m a half city block from the Pacific too, so interesting water. I also took around a dozen or so lemons and sliced them into cubes. I removed the seeds and added something like 3 garlic cloves and an equivalent amount of ginger. I was just using a bunch (8) small like 6oz jars. I filled those 3/4 with a 3% brine and maybe a couple of tablespoons of honey. They barely did anything and I thought they were all duds. I left them for 2 months and barely had to burp the jars at all. I ended up pulling the contents, drying and grinding them to make a zesty lemon spice that was alright. I poured the remaining juice from the small jars into the raw fermented juice I had made at the same time with just some added sugar that also wasn’t super active. I then crushed and processed a whole crab apple I was given, also locally grown, and let it go off wild for a few days. Then I added this to all the lemon juice combined and added a bunch of brown sugar. That really took off strong and needed to be burped a couple of times a day for a week or more. Finally I let it sit in the fridge for a few months before trying it. That one was really good. Probably the best lemon liquor I’ve ever had.

The rice thing was in a bad container and went sour. It is still curiosity but I can’t really get around using tap water in excess and needing to reduce it for more starch density. The first wash is probably viable but it did not seem particularly active.

About the best thing I’ve tried is pineapple by itself. Pineapple is insanely active to wild ferment. Something about it will go absolutely nuts and the juice has a really good flavor to sip or sauce. I only did a tiny amount. Like I was given an old fruit platter and put each thing in a 6oz jar for the heck of it. The pineapple generated higher CO² pressures in 8 hours than anything else by far that I have tried.

The only other one I’ve done a few times are blueberries that were on the brink of going bad. They basically make a slightly fruity soy sauce flavor that is nothing like blueberries.

I guess you could say my recipe is always, “Thing going bad? Thing go in jar with salt brine.” Deep stuff ;)

Coco powder sugar and the starch from rinsing some rice… dumb.

I currently have a 4 month BBQ sauce that is in part a fermented stale baguette, but also a ton of other wild ferments, stocks and stuff that have gone through many reductions. So far, the only thing I’ve fermented and drank was some lemons with garlic and ginger with a good bit of honey. That came out super sour like candy in a raw Sour Patch Kids candy but more clean and natural kinda flavor. Most of that still went into sauces. Almost everything I make goes into sauces because fruits turned savory juices, mixed with stock, and reduced make far better flavors than anything that can be bought in a store and were optimised for cheap mass production.

I’m really curious what anyone might be growing at small scales, like on a patio for brewing. Maybe even just bittering agents too?

Wow this asymmetry is so bad IMO. No one stands out. I think it is a combo of the lack of matching uniforms and those hideous boots and socks. The range of ‘I did it myself’ makeup is really not helping. In isolation each individual is not bad, but no one stands out as spectacularly skilled and in aggregate the inconsistent oddities stand out.

Of all my random jobs as a teen, I worked in Nordstrom for awhile. I always admired the consistency in skill and looks of the people working at the Mac counter. It was very “coordinated” I would call it. That element is missing here and enough that it stands out IMO.

I haven’t gotten a single date yet, but will keep you informed

Any human based legislative system is an equivalent horror in reality - (Marcellus Williams)

It is very much context dependant. People want to say it does not matter, and in our default context, it theoretically does not. There are certain contexts where use of outdated patriarchal norms of the past will garner a response. In a sense it must matter that it does not matter.

My mind is drawn to the old adage, “hate is not the opposite of love; indifference is. For to hate is to still care in common with those that love.”

If you use gender incorrectly here, or, in a broader context, act like an ass about gender you are likely to garner a reaction.

There was a post here in the last few weeks about someone on reddit that posted about a guy giving his partner an old iPod or some device like that as part of a birthday gift with other things, and getting eviscerated for the idea. Then after reversing the gender roles, under the same premise, the opposite reaction was the outcome. I don’t think we are the same demographic here, but I also imagine we might display a similar objective bias in honest and objective aggregate.

So does it matter here, IMO, we’d like to think it does not, but we are biased like any group. We are generally aware and appreciative of our diverse community members and tend to prefer gender neutrality when possible, like assuming they/them is generally good decorum and practiced here. When an anthropomorphic gender assignment is appropriate, the cool kids default female.

At least that is the lay of the land abstracted as I see it when one speaks the unspeakable.

Intuitively, when I have handled molten metals, they are deceptively heavy and viscous. There is very little time when they are in a mushy slushy state or like Taffy in the way that glass behaves. I thought, perhaps if the pool of molten metal were somehow suspended in an environment without gravity, it might be possible to apply glass blowing techniques for shaping.

I know centrifugal casting is a thing and used a lot by gold smiths in jewelry making. It was just a moment of curious imagination this morning thinking perhaps someone one day in the future might manually work metal in space like how glass in worked on Earth. I’ve been thinking about how things might be manufactured differently in a distant future when most of humanity lives in cislunar space habitats. This post was just a half curious passing shower thought.

I have not invented antigravity. If you have any pointers, I’m all ears. /s
