Not an unpopular opinion. Milk has been, is, and likely always will be a common drink with or without food.
You might find some niche quibbling over whether or not it’s better than any given drink with specific dishes, but that’s not the same thing as your argument in the post image.
Eh, this version isn’t too far from the reddit one where you get plenty of “disagree/agree” votes instead of voting on whether or not it’s unpopular and thus appropriate as a post.
But, no, I was working from the broader perspective, which is what the premise is supposed to be about. I get you, though. On lemmy, the opinion is more unpopular than it would be in general, or I think it would be. No way to verify that. All I can do when casting my vote and commenting about why I made the choice is from my direct experience on almost any subject because nobody is going to be up to date on everything on a professional scale where they can be authorities on the topic. Most people, myself included, would be lucky to have even one area where they could state for certain that a given opinion is popular or not everywhere. I sure don’t.
But you can, usually, vote based purely on exposure to the topic and be in good faith as long as you expose yourself to the topic wide enough to matter.
Besides, on my end, I was taking the image contents more as a whole. The opinion seemed to be about milk being perfect with any given dish, much like a wine pairing. I did assume the perfect part was rage bait, and ignored that hyperbole.
Since I have seen people order (or try to order) milk with a wide range of cuisines, and know a lot of people in my local area that do drink milk with most meals (and that’s adults, not kids) at home, that’s where my opinion about the post came from.
Another take on that is that he wasn’t going to war for his school at all. That’s ignoring the previous comments about it not being about the school at all (which is partly true), but recognizing the validity of that perspective.
My point is that even if the war had been about the school itself, that wasn’t what Harry was fighting for. He was fighting for his home…
Books or movies, Hogwarts was the one place that Harry felt was home. Not the Durselys’, not even the Weasleys’. Hogwarts was Harry’s first real home. So, even if he hadn’t been the “chosen one”, even if voldemort was attacking the school directly as a goal without any of the rest of the part about him and Harry, I think he still would have fought as hard as he could to defend it.
You could make Harry a supporting character with his parents just having died of natural causes, and him being taken in by the Dursleys to eventually go to school at Hogwarts with nothing else involved, and that kid would still have fought for the one place he felt at home. Hogwarts was like that for other students, but Harry had that abusive household and extremely limited freedom to make other social connections. That’s an ideal setup for someone to attach to something as wonderful as Hogwarts was in comparison.
I really think that Harry would have fought just as hard or harder for no other reason than that.
They might not have it in acceptable quantities for drinking, depending on the kind of food served. If they only keep it in stock for specific dishes, the front of house might not even know it’s there.
My homie, if you have never had the glory that is milk with a cheeseburger, you’re missing out.
Spaghetti? Bomb.
Burritos? Bomb
I can keep going, and even explain how and why various foods can be paired with milk and not only be as good as any other beverage, but can sometimes be better. It isn’t every food, but it works often enough to be worth trying.
Axon has been inviting police departments to webinars about the new AI-based product, which will automatically generate police reports based on bodycam audio, according to emails obtained by 404 Media.
It is possible to respect their efforts, but refuse to sign up for things on principle.
And, if the account is “free”, then why did you need to give them an email in the first place? If they aren’t getting money from you, then needing a login that would require an email address is sketchy as hell on the surface, and there’s no explanation given.
Yeah, blocking the site in its entirety is kinda weird, seems like extra effort for no benefit at all when you can just not use the site. But objecting to what is a pointless “account” unless they’re monetizing the information makes plenty of sense. Worker owned is not a guarantee of good behavior. It certainly helps, and it’s the superior business model imo, but it isn’t inherently going to mean they aren’t doing dumb shit.
My homie. You have zero basis for using “natural” in this way. Not only is it a bad way to make an argument in the first place, it’s outright wrong.
You might well be correct about protected sex being “unnatural”, but the other acts are found in primates , as well as many mammals.
More important, those acts exist in cultures all across the world. So, by definition it is a common, widespread normative activity in humans. That makes it natural for humans.
You’re using an inaccurate and frankly dumb definition of natural, and the entire argument falls apart because of that.
Oh, so you’re a religious asshole coming into a place that has nothing to do with you and stirring shit.
You go practice your religion in your own way and leave other people out of it. You are being a complete douchebag by making this post, and you should be ashamed of yourself for doing it.
My pick is Five Finger Death Punch and the obvious answer is Ivan Moody. The guy radiates that alpha-male wannabe energy and it definitely rings through all of the songs he has written and performed with this band. The guy is just a prick and a self-victimizing asshole....
And it sucks because their sound is great. And I dig his vocals. But gods damn, the lyrics are just so juvenile, fratboyish, edgelord bullshit most of the time. Like, if you take individual songs, it isn’t too bad; nothing wrong with a little bit of lyrical bullshit now and then. But it’s pretty much every song, so it wears thin after a while.
At that point, you might as well just get one of the grocery store brand pizzas, hit yourself in the head with it, and go live in the woods instead of eating this thing. You’ll end up much happier
My gen-x ass plays games with my millennial wife and gen-z kid. Sometimes, my mom plays too, so add a technical baby boomer to the mix. Technical because she came in at the tail end of it; they’re sometimes called generation Jones or some other weird shit.
Hell, My grandmother tried playing some games with the kids of the family back in the original Nintendo days. Didn’t quite have the patience for Mario and such, but she put in some effort just to understand. My grandfather wrecked us at duck hunt though. Only game he would play, but the guy was a competitive shooter, and his skill translated to the game well.
Having fun with people you love is just goodness. Board games, video games, card games, ttrpgames, whatever it is, try and be open to things, and you’ll have fun together.
The older usages of it weren’t as bad, supposedly (and I don’t have the access to link a source that’s authoritative without paying) and were generally akin to calling the wife the queen of the house, but also implying that she was more of a dowager queen, and one without power.
But it eventually just fell into the usual trope of men either dismissing their own feelings by joking about their wife, or expressing the idea that the wife is something you put up with rather than respect and love.
Now, that first part is important! Using terms that seem derogatory, but are really there to cover up genuine emotion that is untoward for a “real” man has been a thing for a very long time now, so you can’t just assume that any given man using terms like “old lady” or “the old ball-and-chain” are being misogynistic. It’s becoming less common for men to cloak their affection behind dismissive or derogatory terms, but it is still there.
It’s like when you’re petting your dog and you’re babbling about them being a monster or beast. You love the dog, but you’re using inverted meaning to express it. It’s just that the freedom to babble to your dog about how wonderful they are became more acceptable sooner. Which is a bit of an indictment of the systemic misogyny we live in.
Anyway, if you compare that to the supposed origins of “old man” to refer to a father in specific (rather than the use to mean a husband/boyfriend which is one use of the phrase), it came from naval usage like so many other neat phrases.
Is was, and still is, a term used for a Captain or other commanding officer. When it got applied to dads, it was from a similar way of thinking, wherein the father is in command of the household, but it was also an honorific of sorts.
The reasons for it being used that way in the English and American navies is a whole essay by itself, but that essays are already out there online, so I’m not making this longer by going into it lol.
Anyway, the tl;dr that’s horribly misleading is: a combination of ageism, patriarchal thinking, and a tinge of misogyny here and there.
My wife is a damn yankee, transplanted to the south.
Every family gathering she attends, she still sits next to me and ends up asking what someone said.
You want a real trip? There’s a show called Moonshiners, that features some people with southern accents, or Appalachian accents so deep that I have trouble getting everything they’re saying, and I’m from the same region. My wife has watched it with subtitles and will look at me and ask if that’s what they really said because it sounded nothing like what the subtitles said lol.
But, in general, accents are easier if you grow up with a wide array of them to learn from. You then get used to processing them and it stays as an ability, up to a point.
If two twin sisters who are both 18 years old and they both want to marry eachother I think legally they should be allowed to do it because what they’re doing isn’t hurting anybody....
And it’s one I agree with in principle, but not in reality.
Reason being that, in a perfect abstract sense, any two consenting adults should be able to do whatever they want in regards to sex an marriage. Hell, any number of consenting adults should be able to get married if they want. I’m fully behind my poly people out there.
The problem is that in reality incest often comes from power imbalance, and/or abuse. When that gets taken as far as a legally binding arrangement, you’ve got a morass of issues that would be much harder to escape.
For me to support sibling marriage, there would need to be a very rigorous screening process to weed things out ahead of time. And that’s just as problematic as divorce proceedings can be. So I’m not sure I could ever support it in the real world.
But truth? If the people involved are able to pass that level of scrutiny to ensure a lack of it being forced (directly or indirectly), I wouldn’t have any moral objection at all. It’s purely a practical issue for me.
I’m not even worried about the genetics of it; inbreeding isn’t an automatic problem in that regard. Barring a known disorder that would be reinforced, that’s not something that’s a barrier for me to give the thumbs up to the idea. And even that is avoidable via good genetic screening. Fuck the idea of enforcing vasectomy/tubal ligation/whatever. That’s irrelevant to the issue of marriage by itself.
It’s solely about the things that give rise to incestuous relationships in the first place. They don’t just spring up out of love and mutual desire in most cases. They come from very ugly, very unhealthy origins more often than not. That’s why I have an issue, not any bullshit about genetics or blind morals.
Also, damn good post! You not only were on topic, but you expressed your opinion well, without it being rage bait.
I’m working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It’s been helpful to study celebrity faces because it’s easy to find numerous reference photos. I’ve actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it’s been harder to find...
I dunno about “weird”, what with that being pretty vague.
But, Natalie Dormer is well known for having an asymmetrical face.
You’ve got Kristen Schaal that’s got unusual proportions.
Kate Micucci is similarly distinct.
Tilda Swinton has to be on the list, and is probably the most famous of the atypically beautiful actresses out there.
Mayim Bialik (or however the fuck you spell her last name) is fairly atypical for an actress.
Rachel Dratch from SNL is a contender. Hell, for that matter, Ana Gasteyer, Tina Fey, Molly Shannon, Cheri O’Teri, and Gilda Radner are all fairly unique looking and not the typical Hollywood type of beauty. You could essentially throw a dart at a list of SNL alums and hit someone with distinct features.
Shit, Uma Thurman is definitely not the old Hollywood type of beauty.
Then you’ve got Bjork, who kinda cornered the “a little strange, but in a good way” thing back in the day.
Jennifer Carpenter, the lady that played Dexter’s sister on Dexter.
Andy Driver
Jennifer Garner
Oh! And you can’t leave out Anne Ramsey, Mama from the Goonies.
There’s other older actresses with fascinating faces from a photography/art perspective, but they don’t get the kind of attention younger actresses do.
Gayle Vance, most famous for mystery men and “just junk it”
Reta Shaw! Fairly famous ages ago
A lot of actresses that played in supporting roles on tv back in the fifties and sixties were more handsome than pretty, so you got some distinct features, especially on sitcoms.
Seriously, I could keep going, there’s just so many actresses that don’t get leading romance roles that are superb at their jobs, but don’t fit that fantasy set of features. It’s this whole thing.

I have a marans hen, which was originally a French breed. Haven’t read the article yet, but if you could see her little wattles turn fire engine red whenever she’s scolding a human, the concept of a blushing chicken would not surprise you.
The only thing more emphatic is her tail twitch/feather ruffle maneuver she saves for when we’ve done something horrible to her, like not giving her every bit of food in the house on demand, or sneezing.
But I’ll say this much, indoors or out she will be right beside you if she can’t be on your shoulder. Great little companion

Nah, never, ever waste anything. It’s a pure dick move. The world is already filled with enough trash and bullshit, and wasting things adds to that.
Now, you wanna appropriate some materials for your ongoing workplace self education program? Feel free in most cases. Never steal from an actual human, even if that human is behind an LLC or other form of business. A chain? Fuck their shit up, idgaf. I won’t do it unless it’s for emergencies or fundamental supplies without access to funds, but that’s my personal moral code.
Avoiding ripping off small businesses is the best option, even if you have to steal to survive. You take from the places that can afford it best, with extra goodness points if you target shitty companies (steal any nestle you want from a big chain, imo), but you have to have a line of some kind if you don’t want to end up fucked over by your own cock.
Now, my line of work, I didn’t need to take anything. I was in home health, and anything I would have wanted to take was free anyway. PPE was an open tap, with the only limits being based on realistic usage of more expensive supplies. But gloves, soap, masks, face shields, that kind of supply? You had to go crazy to even get a weird look.
Might be different in a bigger population area, but out here in the boonies, it was assumed you’d be carrying at least a week’s supply of PPE in your car all the time. So we’re talking a big duffel bag full of gear. We’d literally just go down the supply aisles in the back of the offices and fill up wagons that they kept on hand for when the supply bag you had was too bulky to carry but refilling. I would refill less often, and carry more. When I had to stop working, I offered to send what I had back, but it was a write off; not only could they not take it back, but it was a tax break as well. But my boss at the last job was an independent business owner, so I offered anyway, figured they might be able to use it for training in the office.
