    also what I'm guessing ronya likes in his ramen :3

    egg is delish

    I want this

    Creamy pork noodle soup with pork belly, marinated egg, wood ear mushroom and

    I've never lived around all that much forest so I don't really know my mushrooms

    know my way around berries and other things you'll find in the mountains and anything that lives in the shoals.

    What sort of berries grow around where you live? When I was hiking the Appalachian trail, I was so excited to find that not only do berries grow here, I don't even need to be some kind of berry expert. They're literally blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.

    yeah I know you just

    plop 'em in your mouth and eat*

    if you're hiking before the snow comes and everyone does not return with blue fingers and blue mouths it's hiking done wrong.

    *except the black crowberries which you have to chew very carefully and then spit out the rest, otherwise they're bitter. You can make lovely squash with them though.

    No, Henroid. Hitting a child's face is completely unacceptable, and your position is awful.

    You're right, 12 year old Timmy will totally understand that dropping the n-bomb is unacceptable just because I say not to say it and take his video games away for a month.

    Making the argument that authorial intent is not sovereign is a lot weaker when you're talking about literal narrative events rather than thematic implications

    Perhaps, but some narratives are garbled, ambiguous, or deceptive.

    In the specific jokey post that lead to this conversation (Ned Stark and Syrio Forel), the narrative could not have been more clear and to interpret those events differently is to stop reading the book as written. Think of it like... uh, people still being on team Jacob after Edward and Bella's wedding or deciding that Bruce Willis was really alive the whole time in the sixth sense and the movie's events were actually an illuminati plot to drive him insane.

    You could replicate that fairly easily (can't believe I forgot about scallions, old people obsession number 1)

    bread pork cutlets as usual, slice them into thin strips after cooking
    slice shrooms up as desired
    marinate eggs in whatever soy-based sauce you desire
    dice scallions

    throw all that into a stone bowl with a good instant ramen (good = literally nothing on the label is in english)

    I hate that it comes to this kind of decision though. I mean really, with communities like this one, you could at least have a microphone to interact with the people you do know (to some extent), and then just set it aside if you're in total-random-ville on the net.

    I'm not saying you're making a wrong decision, to be clear. I'm saying that the whole situation is so bad that it leads to this.

    apropos nothing:

    when I walked back from the store a woman and her son were also on their way back to my street¨

    she called him "Little Man" whenever she talked to him

    also when I passed them he started racing me, sideways, which was a bit taxing for him since my strides were about twice as long as his normal ones. Also because I sped up a bit to keep it challenging.

    Kids are awesome.

    Oh wow.

    No no, the indoctrination interpretation of the ME3 ending is nothing that ridiculous. It is certainly supported by numerous observations, and actually fits better with the rest of the story leading up to it than canon interpretations.

    As I said, it is a player interpretation. No one is claiming it was the writers intent. BW made it clear that it wasn't. But that in and of itself does not render the interpretation "wrong" merely non-canonical.

    @Thanatos

    I'm not sure the slow cooker idea will work, since neither of us will be at the house until like 5-ish and the game is at 7.

    It does remind me that I need to be using my crock pot more, though.

    I love it whenever someone asks "I suppose you don't have X up your sleeve?"

    and someone answers (assume x is, say, a spare tire for a fiat punto) "yes, yes I do" and pulls a spare tire for a fiat punto out of their sleeve.

    As long as you wait until after the children are born to murder them, I anticipate robust GOP support of this plan.

    Yeah, as a child, ear infections are completely fucking awful. I used to get them so bad I had to get tubes in my ears.

    There's nothing to do about it either. Just sit there and be in intense pain all day.

    This is sort of what my parents did.

    My brother and I had an older sibling named "Billy", who suffered all sorts of various fates by defying the rules mom and dad put in place.

    He was never introduced with any seriousness, but was always useful to provide context for any lesson they were teaching us! :)

    Generally kids and young adults are a bit easier to inflict brain damage on if you strike them in the head. So yes, you solve his n-word dropping but as an adult he becomes a dog whistling Republican.
