Hey, corn is nutritious.

This may be an unpopular opinion, insofar as any opinion professing a favorite brand of instant ramen can be unpopular, but while shin black probably has the best broth, albeit by a fairly narrow margin, I think Nissin Gold has the best noodles and is the best overall.

Yes yes, I know, “death to the heretic” and all that.

Depending on what I’m doing, sometimes rust will annoy me just as much. Often I’m doing something I know is definitely right, but I have to go through so much ceremony to get it to work in rust. The most commonly annoying example I can think of is trying to mutually borrow two distinct fields of a struct at the same time. You can’t do it. It’s the worst.

Well if you make me actually explain it, I’m going to sound like an asshole; the joke is so obvious and low-level and the type of humor so uninspired that I figure they must be a little… you know, dumb.

The recipe sounds good, and if I look through the visual artifacts, the result looks good too, but wow; that is a stupendously bad photograph.

The joke is that the people in the conversation are kinda dumb

Re veganism: if you used wine, it’s probably not vegan anyway, as most (especially white) wines use animal products in the fining process. Vegan wine from the US is often specially marked with something about fining or filtering, but it’s hard to tell in general.

Oh hey, so it does.

What’s with the tail still on the shrimp?

Oh, companies still commission letters, they’re just mostly slight modifications of some semibold neo-grotesque.

Baltic bitch

I know this is “birch”, but it still made me laugh.

I can still get in fights with total strangers which is one of the core pillars of a healthy internet.

Indeed it is. Say, I’ve not got an argument out of my system yet today. Could go for a round. Shall we?

I actually said on a phone screening yesterday, to “what attracted you to <our company>”, “I’m told you offer health insurance.”, which I did not mean to do, but they laughed, so it’s probably fine.

Oh come on

Anything that can be said in one, angry syllable.

Sambal is Indonesian I think, though I know it through malaysian food mostly. If you mean shrimp paste itself, I’m not sure, but I would assume that the origin is prehistoric and shrimp paste co-originated with lots of coastal people in the area.

Ooh, nice. That’s a high-quality, multi-layered meme.

I get that it’s a joke, but wearing socks is not a social construct-- it’s a social convention, but its utility is driven primarily by non-social factors. A social construct is an idea created and maintained by society specifically for its social function, which neither socks nor the act or wearing them nor the idea that wearing socks is good, are.

It works fine for me, fwiw

my point still stands

It kinda doesn’t though. That is substantially bigger than even the biggest hot dog that I would consider a normal size. You have to really mean JUMBO for your comparison to make any sense, and at that point you can’t use the serving size conventions of hot dogs anymore.
