I love sardines. Especially when they have that little crunch of their tiny bones
Unexpected
how so?
Bone crunching sardines is not something most Americans at least enjoy
I had you pegged as a salmon/tuna/swordfish sort of consumer.
I underestimate you at my peril, clearly.
I hate things that make it annoying to eat something.
So, small salmon bones in a fillet are super annoying because they're too big to just eat but too small to scrape the flesh off the bone easily so you gotta pick them out one by one.
Sardines where I can just eat them whole and just get a little crunch: perfect
Sometimes, depending on the preparation of shrimp and if the shell has been fried crispy enough, i'll just eat them with the shell.
When I get served whole fish in a restaurant it's fine because I just sorta scrape with a fork and it comes right off the bone and I don't have to worry about stabbing myself with a bone.
I agree with all of this except the shrimp shells, which is madness.
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop, so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I
Feel an angel steal me from the
Greedy jaws of death and chance
And pull me in with steady hands
They've given me a second chance
The artist in the ambulance
I was gonna post the bit about so much blood from the BNL song here but apparently my brain's never registered the second half of it and now they've reached in and twisted my heart around.
Driving home to be with you
The highway's dividing, the city's in view
As usual, I'm almost on time
You're the last thing that's on my mind
I wish I could tell you the way that I feel
But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
No commotion, no screaming brakes
Most of it's over before I awake
From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips
While out my window, the horizon does flips
The worst part was hitting the ground
Not the feeling so much as the sound
Can't help but wonder if all this is real
'Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
Rubberneck traffic and passersby
A slow motion Walter, the fire engine guy
Stand around with their mouths open wide
I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside
With the 'Jaws of Life' they tried and they tried
Nobody here can know how I feel
'Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
I guess it's over now
'Cause I've never seen so much
Never seen so much, never seen so much
Never seen so much
I guess it's over now
'Cause I've never seen so much
Never seen so much, never seen so much blood
In all the confusion, there's something serene
I'm just a posthumous part of the scene
Now I'm floating above looking in
As the radio blares and wheels spin
I can see my face slump with a grin
And you
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
Suddenly things become unsound
Stumbling on the shaky ground
Given arrows to shoot tornadoes down
Shoot them down to the ground
Saw a falling leaf, good luck, jump to grab
Much to our surprise, a butterfly
And it sunk in this induration
Induration in our lives
Inside ourselves, a hidden sun, that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
Shivering madly in the dark
Like an animal abandoned in the car park
And she held me, and then she showed me the
Beauty of the human heart
Inside ourselves, a hidden sun, that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
A hidden sun, that burns and burns

I mean, it would be weird if they decided not to have her wear fur for ethical reasons when the entire concept behind her character is that she is meant to demonize fur-wearing
Though at the same time it's almost a foregone conclusion that thousands of people will see Emma Stone kill it in a fur coat and then murder like a million minks in cold blood as the incredibly simple Disney morality here flies entirely over their heads
A million is low.
Did you hear about Denmark? Minks in farms got a COVID mutation that a handful of employees got. They eradicated all minks in Denmark as a response. I don’t remember the number but let’s say 20 million, it was many millions. Farmers standing for entire days just killing minks. Burning hundreds if not thousands of metric tons of mink corpses in a pile on a military airfield.
Because like 5 people caught mink recycled corona.
Shines a light on how utterly stupid that business is and that it should cease to exist.
that... was entirely the government ordering them to
(then, later, realizing whoops, that was illegal, so now it wasn't an order just a suggestion)

I was at paintball camp in high school (A weeklong summer paintball thing, it was pretty fun) and there was an obstacle course/scavenger hunt thing we had to do. You had to run to different stations and complete a task and the first team to complete all the tasks won.
One station had different things you had to eat, including a paintball (basically just vegetable oil and food coloring) which was gross but I didn't have to do that. I had to eat a salted sardine from a can and it was absolutely awful garbage and I think I threw up.
My team did win paintball camp at the end, so it was all worth it. (It wasn't worth it I haven't played paintball in like a decade, shit is expensive)
I am sad now that I didn't buy any, because it would hit just spot as supper now. I've got the good bread and everything, but really only eggs to put on it.
What do you need? Dark rye or other black bread, hardboiled eggs, Dijon mustard...
I don't want to boil an egg
it's not that I'm opposed to eating eggs outside of breakfast times, I'm just opposed to preparing them this late. It brings me joy in the morning but this late it's just a very "didn't go shopping" kind of desperation feeling
well, what else is appropriate for toppings is more of what I'm curious of
here's the recipe for slice of bread with boiled egg and caviar
(I only googled for an image of a plain slice of bread with eggs on it, instead of the overdone bullshit food photography stuff, but I find it very hilarious that someone's job involved writing this as a recipe
ingredients:
1 egg
1 slice of bread
caviar
1. Boil the egg. Slice it.
2. Put caviar on the slice of bread.
3. Put slices of egg on the slice of bread.

The part beginning with "Suddenly things become unsound" is a different song, hidden at the end of the album. It's called Hidden Sun and is very good.
Also my friend and I argued for a long time about the line "You're the last thing on my mind" and if that was a cynical "you're the furthest thing from my mind" sort of thing or if it's literally the last thing on his mind as he dies.

So the owner of the restaurant came by again today to give me my things and talk further about my dismissal. Apparently not only is it because of reasons related to COVID, but because I was, "really difficult to work with this last year."
We hashed it out a bit and clarified that should any work be available before I find a new job I'll be re-hired, it's just that there's no clear indication of when that might be. However, the conversation around that last tidbit kind of has me thinking I should look for work elsewhere in general. It's true I might not have been the brightest light all the time, but it's also true that I never was rude to anyone or attempted to bring anyone down.
Not saying that I'm completely without fault, but at the same time I think it shows that in spite of years of working for this company and everything I've done for it that at the end of the day I guess I just wasn't nice enough to attempt to keep on instead of being cut loose into one of the worst job markets in history.

I'm not seeing this as much of an argument against the mink fur industry tbh
and there are arguments, it's not that (we've banned the fur industry entirely, shutting down within 2025)

sardines are like fish bacon
anchovies are like tiny fish
both are good but i could snack on sardines. anchovies would be a bit too fishy for me to eat by themselves

They are, but you can treat them similarly for many cookery purposes
Also a large anchovy can be a similar size to a small sardine
now, if it snows tomorrow, I need to double make sure I shovel his walkway

the joke that starts at 1:02 is probably the most vicious roast joke i've ever heard and i think of it often
I know it was, it’s just if you ever find yourself needing genocide an entire species you’ve got a really silly industry going.
both yes and maybe
yes, sardines are entirely different species
maybe, because I don't think anchovies often get subjected to the magic that makes vaguely sardine-ish fish become "sardines" once in a can
Holy shit
no we just eat the bread
bread usually doesn't need toasting

Jars of anchovies never last because I just eat them directly.
I can resist cans though.
canned vs jarred might make a difference
i think i've only ever had either out of a tin
Here they're always really expensive though. And usually some kind of fancy looking Spanish brand
