This has been going on for years, and it's always targeted towards children of color and poor children. Rich kids can run wild, especially if they're white kids.

This looks like the sweepings off the low pile carpet near one of our litter boxes.

Yeah, ads get targeted where the money is. The ads say more about who is actually here doing life things than the horribly gerrymandered elections.

all I know about my kids is that they are taller than me, one is taller than the other, and the taller one is about the same height as his dad.

I can't find a gif of uhura and sulu from the mirror universe, but I think that's it. Yes, both of them.

Immortal Beloved. Straight historical, but romanc-y, has Isabella Rossellini and Gary Oldman, is about figuring out who the secret love that Beethoven wrote to, just after he died.
SO MOPEY. Has violence. Pretty costumes. Dark as fuck.

To be fair, brown bears kind of *also* strongly project that energy.

There are people who do this with goats, but I'm not sure about sheep.

I call that the "Mothering Dot Com" crowd, because I made the mistake of stumbling into their hippie-crunchy-facist message boards when I was a new mom. It was Very Weird.

They need to just name it Exhibit A.

That is a big flaw. It does need that kind of safety setting, because there are folks who will need it.

My second thought is that this is actually a great use case for AI.
People who get cut off socially because they Just Do Not Get It when they are talked to about how they behave, or who are unredeemably narcissists, uninterested in therapy, now will have an outlet.
Maybe my stalker will use it.

So, basically, the tofu tasted like the soy-lime marinade and had a great chewy texture.
comment in response to
post
It makes the tofu more porous and gives it some more texture. Since it's more porous, and drier, it takes up marinades a lot better. How it freezes and its final texture depends on its original water content/firmness. Here's a great breakdown: hot-thai-kitchen.com/frozen-tofu/

I have a dear friend who is allergic to the Very Natural yellow colorant used in All The Things.
She's not super thrilled that there won't be safer options for her anymore.

(yes, I do still cook eggs for my family, who eat them, and yes, I wear heavy PPE while doing so and deploy a steroid nasal spray and use an air cleaner and/or open the window - there will come a time when I can't even do that and I hope the kids who eat the eggs have become independent by then)

Them thinking I don't want mayo or dressing because of dieting:
"Oh, it's just a *little* bit, what's the harm?"
Me ticking fingers:
"Well, I'll need emergency allergy medications and may end up in the hospital from egg contamination, and there's explosive diarrhea, vomit, itching and hives."

I marked it from the age at which I was half the age of my longest-lived relative. Great grandma made it to 105.

Yesterday I ate a terrible sugary cereal that I probably won't eat again for a long time (because i found I don't really like it anymore), but nobody could tell me no.

It's because they *want* to stand atop the bodies of the folks who did all the work. That butter demon Paula Deen had a famous scandal over one plantation wedding she planned

I put up the heavy curtain between the kitchen door and the rest of the house, and closed up all the other windows, but the kitchen is still opened up until the next storm comes in.
You know the weather is warm when the heat curtain goes up on the kitchen door.

About 18 hours after getting the units in and the house is much better today. Part of that was closing up the bedrooms, where the units are, and opening the windows to cool the rest of the house overnight after the storm broke and blew past on cool winds.
Everyone slept in cool rooms.

I'm wondering how they were rinsing the rice for the measurement of rinsed vs unrinsed rice. Were they washing it under running water in a sieve while stirring, or pouring some water over once and then pouring it off? How many times did they rinse it? How long? Not enough info.
