  • Did you stop reading after my first para and ignore my second? Also, please show me where I said it was difficult.

    This is why I hate Lemmy sometimes. People don't fucking read and just go off the very tops of emotional response.

    It definitely makes me want to block this community if that's all it's gonna be.

    THIS THING GOOD

    THIS THING BAD

    NO NUANCE ALLOW, ME NOT HAVE BRAIN TO THINK OF MORE THAN ONE THING AT A TIME

    It's not hard.

    Reading apparently is. To people here, not you or just you at least.

  • terms with historical baggage,

    Historic baggage maybe, but certainly not current baggage. The "R" word has current baggage.

    And that's the difference.

    Yes, language changes, and we adjust - "colored" used to be the preferred word when discussing black people.

  • I don't know why you feel the need to cause unnecessary pain to those with disabilities, but that's your choice to do so.

  • I humbly request that you consider eliminating the "R" word from your vocabulary.

    Folks here and here make the case better than I could.

    I'm sure no harm was intended, but harm is still caused by that word. The folks to whom it applies are well aware of it and know it's about them, whether you mean it to be or not.

    My wife used to teach at an adult day school for adults with developmental and cognitive disabilities. She taught, among other things, Shakespeare. When I say that her students learned the material, I mean they'd sit around and discuss it. They knew it better than I did (although in fairness, I've never been much into Shakespeare).

    It's just a word that feels like it doesn't harm, but it does. I used to use it years ago until someone pointed this out to me, and now I hope that I can help end the usage of it.

    If you read this far, I thank you for doing that, no matter which option you choose. <3

  • Anyone with autism from UAE, OR Oman?

  • I'd be glad to talk to you! :) I like talking to people from all over - you know, we grow up where we grow up and so that is normal to us, and so talking to different people and finding out what they grew up with and what's nromal for them that's exotic/wild for me is always fun :)

    I've been diagnosed with ADHD twice now - the first time at age 30, then in my 40s when I was trying to get medications again I had to get rediagnosed. Both of them said I was the most severe case they'd seen in their careers. lol.

    And I don't know about fixing yourself, but we can at least find coping techniques that can help. CAN help is important phrasing, of course. hehe

    So I know that over here, for the past 20+ years, people became aware of ADHD - the general populace, I mean. And there's a belief that it became overdiagnosed, with doctors prescibing meds to lots of children. But I know that even if it was overdiagnosed, it was also underdiagnosed - case in point, I wasn't diagnosed until age 30. heh.

    So how's things for you? :)

  • What is something you like that you initially disliked because of bad representation?

    Jump

  • Ah, for fucks sake.

    In fairness to pharmacies in general, what many don't know is that a pharmacist has more medical training than a doctor on medications and how they interact, so doctors do listen to pharmacists on that topic (typically) - and have reason to do so.

    That said, this sounds like bullshit to me. A doctor or psychiatrist probably knows the dosage better imho, so this fucking stinks.

    I'm sorry :(

  • Poorly constructed sandwich. There is a talent to it.

    If it's a sub or something like that, tightly wrap in parchment paper and let it sit for 5-10 minutes or so to let things settle and come together. You will have a much better sandwich eating experience.

    If it's like a hamburger, you probably put too much shit on there. Yes, toppings are nice, but the price you pay for too many is stuff sliding out. Be more selective.

    Lastly, if stuff comes out, you probably built it wrong. Tomato goes on burger patty because flats. If you put tomato above ingredientsl like pickles or lettuce, then yeah, it's gonna want to go diagonal and slide out.

  • then you’re going to have to do the math

    Why? It's listed in both, so you know a spray is close to zero. If you're using more than a couple or few sprays, you're doing it wrong, so what's even a few sprays? 5 calories?

    Your measuring inaccuracy on other ingredients is going to be WILDLY more than the calories from the oil. Baking and spray the baking sheet? When you measured your flour, did you get it to the nearest TENTH of a gram? Because a gram of flour is like 3.5 calories, so if you were off by a single gram - or your scale doesn't even show decigrams, then the rounding error is likely more calories than the oil you use that adds to each 'serving' of the thing you're making.

    So this is extremely unimportant.

  • it’s shady as hell,

    If you consume more than a calorie or two or maybe even a very few from that oil, you are doing it wrong.

  • You may not get it, that's fine, but it is an extremely common cooking technique. What you're saying is like saying "Why do people steam things? I don't steam things, that's just stupid" (I know you didn't say it was stupid)

    Pouring oil will be right in some cases, but in other cases WAY more oil and WAY less distributed than desired.

  • no way i’m gonna just use 0.25g. t

    The product pictured is an oil spray that you'd use in a pan or like baking sheet or something. If you're using more than a couple or a few sprays, you are doing it very very wrong, and you need to just use a bottle of oil.

  • And who the fuck cares about calories in serving size?

    Calories per 100g would be highly misleading in a product like this. You might use a couple or few sprays, but you're not going to use a significant amount.

    That said, listing calories-per-standard-amount as a secondary requirement I could absolutely get behind.

    The thing people need to remember about serving sizes is that they are 1) based on studies of what people actually consume, and 2) intended to be parts of a meal. You don't eat "one serving" for a meal. You'd have a serving of several different things. It's extremely unperfect, but at least it gives you something you can work with. I do specifically like them having to also provide "calories per container", though - that's a good attempt to help solve this problem.
