Oh - like they do in England…

This is it exactly! I remember clearly the first time I had it. It was shocking and off putting because it was so different from anything I’d had before. But after that first experience of shock, it gradually grew on me until I actually enjoyed it.

I think this difference comes down to how open-minded folks are about trying new things.

I remember having a very similar experience with American Chinese food when one restaurant my parents started going to put large-ish chunks of ginger in one of the dishes I would always order. I didn’t know what it was at the time and told my parents it tasted like it had soap in it. Now I love ridiculously ginger heavy dishes.

I tend to think this is correct because I both think it tastes like soap and I like it. I would just tend to describe it as “clean” and “fresh” tasting instead of “soapy”.

This always felt like the turning point for the decline of online discourse to me.

Firefly's use of "in universe" curses are a good example.

Also, The Good Place

…but it was the right more people…

“What the French; toast?”

I’ve decided I’m going to start doing it specifically to f**k with the whiners

Hahaha - that sh^%s working perfect…

The “All American Halftime Show” headliner, on the other hand, came under fire last week when his sexualized comments about the then-14-year-old Olsen twins resurfaced, as well as the gross 2001 lyrics from his song “Cool, Daddy, Cool,” in which he sings, “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ’em underage, see,” and “Some say that’s statutory, but I say it’s mandatory.”

What “celebrating faith family and freedom” looks like to conservatives.

They actually do co-branding with some of their KS products. I had to go check and see if the cling wrap was co-branded with Reynolds but it wasn’t; I see in their app the aluminum foil is.

I’ve never seen their sliding “easy cutter” on any brand’s cling wrap before. It really is a game changer.

Those are low-to-mid tier at best though

So is Hershey’s. It seemed fair to me to compare like to like

A more appropriate comparison to chocolate with butyric would be to chocolate without it.

That was the comparison I made. I thought I was pretty explicit about that in my comment. I count myself lucky that I can taste it and I enjoy it. Some folks just prefer a simpler flavor profile.

I’ll readily admit I’m a bit of an odd duck, though. I can appreciate and enjoy more challenging foods than most.

People love to bring up the vomit thing, but butyric acid is also naturally found in milk, butter, Parmesan cheese, and even papaya. Things a lot of Hershey’s detractors would claim to like.

I like don’t hate Hershey’s nor do I think it’s the best. I also like European chocolate like Cadbury, Tony’s, etc as well but they do seem a bit flat or one-note in comparison. Sometimes that’s what I want. I can also understand how if that’s what you’re used to any deviation could be off putting.

Cling wrap, the store brand is absolute garbage

…unless that store is Costco.

Kirkland Signature cling wrap is the best. And the “Easy Cutter” is the best thing to ever happen to cling wrap.

Arabic is right to left, but interestingly the place values of numbers are still left to right from highest to lowest

I’m not sure what the phrase “fake outrage” would actually mean

See line 2 of the narcissist’s prayer:

That didn't happen.And if it did, it wasn't that bad. <— You are hereAnd if it was, that's not a big deal.And if it is, that's not my fault.And if it was, I didn't mean it.And if I did, you deserved it.

Wait - is this a presidential election year? I thought only came out to check for her shadow every four years…

That’s exactly how I felt reporting it — debated it a bit but the personal insult was so unnecessary…

trying to discredit Aaron Scwartz, the reddit cofounder who passed away

Passed away due to suicide for having the book thrown at him by the FBI for doing a tiny fraction of what each and every AI company is now doing openly and freely, it should be noted.

🪦 RIP Aaron
