I'm a genX dude, living in a genZ world. I love everyone. Be gay, be trans, be whatever. I love everyone until an individual proves they don't deserve it. I don't hate anyone based on groups, I hate people who are assholes.

  • Explain Stalking to me. I have ex gf's I run into different times at the same stores. Some I keep running into store after store. Just coincidence. At what point is it stalking or something?

    Jump

  • People generally date people who live somewhat close to them (I know, LDRs exist).

    People generally shop in stores that are somewhat close to them.

    I'm smelling coincidence.

    I like to grocery shop on Tuesday mornings, since that's double coupon day at my local grocer. I give my neighbor a ride to the store, so we can use her 5% senior discount and save even more money.

    I see the same people at the store every week, because they shop on the same day I do, at the same time I do. We smile and wave, sometimes we chit chat about current events, or small talk like "Man, the weather's crazy this week", or "How did your son's baseball game go?".

    I am not stalking them, they are not stalking me. We just patronize the the same store at the same time as each other.

    If you think you're being stalked, randomly change up your routine. Let's say you normally go shopping on Saturday afternoons. Go on a Thursday morning. If you still keep running into them, maybe you're onto something. If not, enjoy your new ex-gf free shopping experience.

  • What's meal prep look like for you?

    Jump

  • 13 people live in my house full time. If I didn't meal prep, I would never be able to leave the kitchen.

    We always have "egg McBluffins" in the freezer, just pop em in the microwave for a minute or so (99 seconds if you're doing 2 at once) and you've got breakfast sorted. I make large batches of pulled pork, or shredded beef, and I freeze individual portions in vac seal bags. Pop some in the nuker, and you're ready to make a sandwich, burrito, taco, whatever. I currently have 40 servings of chili in the freezer, along with 40 servings of Italian Wedding soup. I also make ham and bean soup in big batches to freeze, but we're currently out of that. I've got beef stew coming up in the rotation, we'll eat about half of it the first night, and freeze the rest in portion sized containers. Pickled eggs (the pink ones, with the beet juice) are a huge hit with my family, and I raise chickens, so we're never short on eggs. I don't know an exact number, but I'd say I have somewhere between 80 and 100 pickled eggs in my house right now. 2-3 of those is a nice high protein snack that you can just grab and go. Last time I harvested one of my goats, I cooked the entire thing in a pit I dug in my yard, then shredded the meat for a delicious birria inspired dish. I also like to make huge batches of Bolognese sauce and freeze it in reasonable portions, so that I just have to boil up some pasta, and that's dinner.

    I don't just "do" meal prep, I live meal prep.

  • Is KFC in America garbage and overpriced?

    Jump

  • KFC is trash in 2026. Greasy, soggy chicken, and for $35 you get a bucket of chicken that's only about half full, 4 somewhat decent sides, and 4 dry ass biscuits which are only made somewhat tolerable if you add their "buttery sauce" (they legally can't call it butter, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's illegal in the rest of the world). The combo doesn't even come with drinks. The potato wedges are pretty good TBH. The Mac and cheese is bland, overcooked, and stodgy. The mashed potatoes are clearly powdered and reconstituted. The gravy is just brown salt water. KFC gravy used to be fucking AMAZING like 30 years ago. Now I wouldn't feed it to a dog I was mad at.

    Back in like 2010, it was actually decent. I used to go there like 3-4 times a year, and I enjoyed it. Back in the 90's, that shit was fire. I would eat there pretty frequently. I had their Buffalo chicken sandwiches for lunch more than once a week. They weren't anything fancy, just a small chicken fillet dipped in Buffalo sauce, slapped on a bun with some shredduce.

    If I want fried chicken, I'm going to a local spot. The price is better, the food is better, and I'm not squirting fake butter out of a packet onto a biscuit that's dryer than the Sahara. Plus, their meal deal comes with 4 fountain drinks instead of 0.

    TL;DR: Yes, KFC is terrible in the USA.

  • 'Just not realistic': The Australians who worry they can't afford to have kids

    Jump

  • Not quite the same thing, but my mom had my older siblings when she was between 15 and 21 years old. The delivery she had at 21 was complicated and traumatic. Doctors told her she'd never be able to have another child. 17 years later, she goes to the doctor and they find me in her belly. Life damn sure finds a way.

  • what's the secret

    Jump

  • Mainly because she's not exactly a celebrity anymore, so people don't spend a lot of time talking/reading about her. But also because a woman getting raped in 1982 isn't exactly "Breaking News". There are a lot of old articles about it, but who is looking up news from 30-40 years ago? There was some chatter about it when her rapist was convicted of raping two other women in 2006, and again when her house was broken into and she was attacked in 2016.

    The craziest part is that according a post she made on Facebook, she was also gang raped at age 12. She's had a very rough life.

  • More Liability Will Make AI Chatbots Worse At Preventing Suicide

    Jump

  • Don’t talk about your mental health with an AI seems like pretty basic common sense to me

    And as we all know, people in the middle of a mental health crisis always act logically and make good decisions.

  • Infants are bleeding out after parents decline vitamin K shots given at birth

    Jump

  • Newborns don’t have good stores of vitamin K. The placenta does not give an infant a lot of vitamin K because it can affect bone growth and development. So it needs to be supplemented after delivery. Babies only drink milk, and if they drink breast milk or formula, neither has good supplemental vitamin K.

    Adults also can’t get enough vitamin K from milk. Adults get vitamin K by eating foods that are rich in it, like green leafy vegetables, blueberries or kiwis. Besides finding it in foods, adults also get vitamin K from helpful gut germs (i.e., bacteria) that aid in digestion and gut health. The intestines of babies lack those bacteria because they are still growing. For these reasons, we need to give it to them.

  • The other human beat me to the punch, but I would strongly suggest you check out the Townsends video series on it. Dude made 4 entire videos about the stuff. It's a very deep dive. Like, so deep you get the bends if you come to the surface too quickly. I love Tasting History, but when it comes to pemmican specifically, the Townsends did it better.

  • How prevalent are cash transactions in the USA?

    Jump

  • The only time I ever touch cash is when I buy weed, since the dispensary isn't allowed to accept card payments. They have an ATM inside though, so I take the cash out of the ATM, and bring it to the counter. It spends maybe 2 minutes in my possession.
