All "Vegetarian Easy Dinner Ideas" = "pasta and cheese with stuff on it"

All "Low Carb Dinner Ideas" = "chicken breast with stuff on it"

micheleann,

Am I crazy for not wanting to repeat during the week? We've had:

Chicken (with brown rice, creamy mushroom sauce)
Turkey (tacos)
Fish (with egg pasta / roast cabbage)
Chickpea (in a roast veggie soup)
Cheese (pizza)

I guess sausages tonight? Or chili with veggie meat?

Avoiding beef and don't want it to be carb-centric (ie not lasagna). Already have tofu on the schedule for Meatless Monday.

@ericg fucking love Mofongo! Probably too carb-y for this crowd tho (have two high protein / low carb guys)
Plantains are also not thick on the ground here ;-)

Fascinating! Does anybody else have ticker-tape synesthesia? Some people see spoken words converted into text in their heads. This is a great description of the research & experience, which is like a mental closed captioning https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/my-synesthesia-transforms-speech-into-text-i-see-in-my-head/

@laurahelmuth Oh, me! But it comes and goes.

Interesting to note that the text I used to see when I was younger was handwritten and now it's typed.

Some official accounts from news media and governments have become available through . I find:

Please reply if you find something similar, and I'll update my list.

@mpjgregoire

This is exactly what I have been waiting / hoping for (well, I want them to have their own servers and broadcast to threads, etc. but closer!)
But I don't get it? When I click on those links I go to threads and if I follow it will follow from my Threads account.
I cant find their accounts from search on this side either.

So, how do I follow here?

micheleann,
@micheleann@eldritch.cafe avatar

@mpjgregoire Thanks for the quick and clear explanation!

I do not see any profiles when I search for @threads.net so I'm going to go see if eldritch has them blocked.

(I love this safe home but I'll have to consider other options if they don't want to play with the wider fediverse! (which is totally understandable!) )

@mpjgregoire wait did they decide no? I was just thinking that's where I would move!

@mpjgregoire yay! Thanks!

I like how you can put "California" in front of anything to mean "...but kinda not really"

California stop
California sober
California vegetarian
California monogamy
California straight

(yes I just made up those last two but you immediately know what I mean, right?)

micheleann,
@micheleann@eldritch.cafe avatar

Further experiment. You can replace "California" with "-ish"

Stop-ish (ok, not really)
Sober-ish
Vegetarian-ish
Monogamish
Straight-ish

Hmm, now I want to find other -ish words and replace it with the California prefix...

micheleann,
@micheleann@eldritch.cafe avatar

"I'm California Fourty" (i.e. almost 50 years old)
"The paint is California purple" (i.e actually blue)
"He's so California fool" (nope)
"My great-grandma was California Scott" (also nope -- wrong '-ish')

micheleann,
@micheleann@eldritch.cafe avatar

@mcsquank

Oh, so "California nice" could be a sort of backhanded compliment? I like it!

Consultant wisdom I just made up:

TIL hashtagging "CatHerding" becomes "catherding" which sounds like either a fetish and/or medical procedure.

@micheleann@eldritch.cafe avatar

@Eliot_L I thought I picked the suggested tag which was CC... but then it was funny so I went with it.

Blaise Pascal says “human beings will naturally seek distractions rather than confront their own thoughts in moments of solitude and quiet because those thoughts will eventually lead them to consider unpleasant matters such as their own mortality, the vanity of their endeavors, and the general frailty of the human condition.”

Which of these are you trying to avoid the most?

micheleann,
@micheleann@eldritch.cafe avatar

Oh no! I fixed a typo in the poll and it reset the numbers!

please vote again if you did before (all 11 of you!)

I had too much sugar today and it's entirely my fault and I was totally aware that it was happening but I still would like some extenuating circumference to blame, please.

Is Socratic irony a good way to engage in conversation?

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Socratic_irony

micheleann,
@micheleann@eldritch.cafe avatar

@evan It's making the other people unpack the actual meaning and not trust your literal words. That said, sometimes you want to throw people off / make them work for it.
