    I made a four egg omelette diner-style by browning the outside in some butter, and then loading the toppings when it was more -or-less set and then folding it over

    It was good, it was gross, it was the size of a plate, I won't do that again for awhile

    you wouldn't think four eggs is a lot of eggs but four eggs is a lot of eggs

    Three eggs: A good reasonable amount of eggs done as scrambled eggs

    The only thing that makes sense for me to do with the current model of the game was to use the game to create an environment where you would be playing the game in the future and not have a specific game in the next generation and then play it again and see what happens in a future time frame and how that works out for the future time frame of the games and how it will be played for you as well so I think that would make sense in the context of a lot of the future game as a lot to be in terms to me but I think it would make sense for the games that I would prefer the games I have played with a few different scenarios where the games are the same game and the games I have seen before that would help you get used by other games I don’t want any of those things are very similar things that you could use to see how to use the games

    I feel like there’s probably a way to be a civil rights advocate without pretending to be part of a marginalized outgroup

    But also there’s people who like to claim trans identity who insist upon the pronouns and presentations they were assigned at birth, and I give them a big fat hairy eyeball, too

    nothing should surprise me but people claiming a trans identity for their birth-assigned gender is a new one for sure

    There’s not a ton of people doing it, for sure, but there’s a handful

    There was a fairly prominent one a few years back that sparked some difficult conversations in the trans community because the person doing it was a PhD in gender studies and spent most of their time traveling the UK giving symposia on how trans people are perfectly normal and safe and should be allowed to live their lives, which is a desperately necessary message in Britain, so kudos there

    But also this person was AFAB and used she/her pronouns and was very femme and also did modeling for very very femme clothing and I felt like Gus fucking Fring reading about them

    Acutely about Dolezal herself, she didn't just adopt a black identity, she fabricated large swaths of her personal narrative in really stereotypical ways (she claimed, for example, that her parents took her to South Africa and whipped her like a slave). She fabricated multiple hate crimes against her and the NAACP office she worked for, which (arguably) put her coworkers unnecessarily on edge. She had a history of weird borderline microaggressions against other PoC that weren't serious enough at the time to make a big deal about but came to light after her fabrications did.

    In the context of my comment about her being unhireable, she also lied about non-racial aspects of her background, like claiming to be a cancer survivor and fabricating a rape accusation. And when somebody is a pathological liar that includes fabricating hate crimes and rape accusations, you can't leave them alone in a room with another coworker, and you can't trust them for knowledge work. Even if Dolezal had never lied about her race, this sort of thing makes her unhireable. The only kind of work she could possibly do is physical labor under direct and constant supervision, and that's not something I want to sentence somebody to.

    More generally, there is a ton of scholarship about how appropriation, white savior complex, and taking up space are common (if not essential) aspects of white racism. There's the main aspect about how these behaviors redirect resources (jobs, money, etc) from the marginalized group, but there are a lot of secondary subtle aspects about how they end up reinforcing stereotypes, and contributing to the obfuscation of the history of the marginalized group.

    Edit; ugh, typos

    Hey, good morning-ish, fellow forumites! The day is still young and open to possibilities!
    I took my GF on a fun, post Valentines date last night to an art center where she could paint a ceramic piece of her choosing. Turns out it she chose a lovely floral pattern "waste bin" to glaze paint. Should I read that as ominous to the relationship? Here's hoping, no. And while it was fun to go 50 miles out of my way to hang with the hep art crowd, I did not get to paint the piece I was after. Crap.

    It does feel good to call in the Eagle Airstrike on a bunch of mobs

    Also I just unlocked the Autocannon and that's pretty great; it's chunky and anything you'd smang with the expendable rocket launcher you can also hurt with the AC. It comes with a backpack and supposedly you need teammates to help you reload but it let me by myself? Idk if it just loads faster or what.

    so far it's very hard and I don't know what most of the characters do

    I played counterstrike in high school and college, and I think it's kinda like that - very lethal, a headshot or a couple of bullets can kill you, and kinda slower paced (it's much harder to hit anything while you're moving, so no TF2 style jumping blap blap)

    but there's the overwatch style too where each character is different, with different skills - one lady can create an anivia wall, create a patch of ground that will slow people, do a little heal on herself or a teammate, and res a dead teammate as an ult for example

    so I guess it's compelling enough for me to keep wanting to try it out even though I am quite bad

    the playerbase seems very young, a lot of the people on voice sound like children or teens

    I tried to watch a pro game last night to see if I could get a better sense of the flow of the game with some casters and I couldn't even understand them half the time, they're too young lol frfr no cap

    The Autocannon fucks. The reloads are instant if someone helps you, but yeah, reloading by yourself isn't onerous, and you get so much ammo in that backpack. The only problem I have with it is in close quarters, where I tend to detonate myself. If it didn't take the backpack slot, I might exclusively use it.

    Yeah.

    On one hand, in general I do get a little iffy about blaming problematic people for giving their opponents ammunition. Like others have said, racists will be racist whether Dolezal ever lied about her race or not. Racists (and transphobes) are generally responsible for their own behavior. And there's a level where the complaint itself (that somebody gave their opponents ammunitions) just becomes carrying water for those opponents. (I don't think you're doing this. This is just metacommentary.)

    OTOH, there's a threshold where the blame fits. I'm not sure exactly where that line is, and I wouldn't be able to precisely define it. But I'm pretty sure that fabricating hate crimes is over that line. The Spokane PD will be racist no matter what, but a plausible outcome of Dolezal's behavior is that the Spokane PD would be even less inclined to investigate racist threats against the Spokane NAACP office. (Not to mention how that may have aggravated the anxiety of other people who worked at that office.)

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
