microwaves are for reheating food, not cooking it

salting should happen during cooking

It wasn’t sudden, this shit’s been muddying the waters for a decade and the precursors were seeping in for another decade or more before that.

Maybe not the most recent, but have you checked out Defiance, OH? The band, not an actual town in Ohio.

No thanks! I decided when I switched to lemmy I was gonna avoid politics communities.

It’s a handmade pasta, so you probably will see it in nicer restaurants rather than stores, but if you have a place that makes fresh pasta in your town that’s another place to look. Or make them yourself!

strozzapreti - not only is it a great shape for holding sauce and fun to eat, it’s got a delightful name: the “priest strangler”

So the three main branches of ethical philosophy are deontology, which is based on right intent, consequentialism, which is based on right outcome, and virtue ethics, which is based on right action.

All three agree that you should always try to do the right thing, but disagree as to how best to determine what that is. The deontologist says that consequences are unknowable so maintaining pure intent is the best strategy. The consequentialist says that intent doesn’t matter, only the outcome, because that’s what actually affects the world. The virue ethicist notes that both criticisms are true: intent is irrelevant and consequences are unknowable, so it’s best to focus on acting in a way that’s irreproachable.

To get back to your question, I think it’s obvious how the deontologist and the consequentislist would answer, but it’s up to me to answer for the side of virtue ethics. Say a man who kicks a dog out of malice, and then the dog’s owner rushes them to the vet, where they learn the dog had a condition, easily treatable but hard to detect, that would’ve killed it in two months. Bad intent, good outcome. Deontologist hates him, Consequentialist sees a mitzvah, but me? Kicking puppies is wrong. It doesn’t matter why you’re kicking them. You can’t reasonably expect it to save the dog’s life. The action itself is contemptible.

I’m not just being a dick, here: I just can’t trust that someone without a basic ability to look at a word and see that it’s wrong will be able to look at a photo and see that it’s real or fake.

Did not know this, that’s actually really cool.

Can’t believe no one has said “flow state” yet.

I wait tables, and I’m damn good at it. When everything goes just right on a really busy shift, it’s common for experienced waitresses to hit flow state and it’s one of many addictive patterns that keeps people, especially people with ADHD, in this job.

For those unfamiliar, flow state is a qualitative shift in consciousness that increases awareness of task-related stimuli and decreased awareness of irrelevant stimuli while speeding up reaction time, draining away uncertainty, and making every small success feel like it’s propelling you forward. It’s got some of the energy of an adrenaline rush without the comedown — flow state gracefully fades out without a crash. It’s like you just became more efficient, everything you need is right to hand, and triaging and prioritizing the subtasks in front of you becomes effortless.

It is the second-best part of my job, even better than the feeling of genuinely helping people.

My next one is to integrate ActivityPub into my homebrew blogging software, so I can publish blog posts as lemmy posts and feel accounts can leave comments.

I can’t stand extra noice around when I’m gaming, honestly, and I dislike video media in the first place.

I’m an open book. So the thing people misunderstand most often is that I mean everything I say.

Hell no, not even close.

It’s a South Asian condiment, usually paired with tamarind sauce. It’s a bright green paste and fairly spicy.

I really don’t know. I’m certainly in favor of it as a legal right within certain restrictions, but I can’t say that it is or is not a fundamental human right, though I’m inclined to think it’s not.
