Its because they ran into the loudest, most annoying vegans.

IDK how, maybe different areas have more militant vegans, or maybe they just roll with negative stereotypes and the algorithm bs that lets the worst folks float to the top of their media feeds.

I’ve actively sought out vegans because they have great advice on dietary restriction resources and as long as you’re respectful of their choices, they’ve been consistently so willing to share.

And they also really love a good breakfast, in my experience, like the local vegan group has just pages of discussion on good vegan donut resources.

Just to let you know, the whole thing where you look back on every little thing you do and cringe won’t magically go away when you’re an adult.

That’s a self-esteem thing, not a teenager thing.

I guess what I’m saying is that this is one of those things that can get better, but won’t just magically get better on its own. It didn’t get better for me until I got some control in my physical health (stuff that would affect my perspective) and took agency in my mental health.

If you’re in the situation to do so, check out what kind of therapy resources are available to you. You can just try a bunch until you find one that really clicks, and a lot offer free brief consultations.
Many employers offer 4-10 free visits for any immediate family members/offspring, too!

I’m sorry you feel so critical of yourself all the time. Its so draining to live like that.

Well, your username checks out, so I’m going to take your word for it

100% with the Gatcha stuff? Wow.

I started using two so I could more easily remote game with my sibling.

The second one would have their screen stream up, so it was like we were playing split screen co-op back in the day. :)

I am talking about though is SLA printing though- resin printing, but without the resin, basically.
Which is why I think its more feasible than just extrusion printing on principle. The layers are incredibly thin, with no extrusion involved, and no exposure to air until well after the layers are formed.

Interesting, I was under the impression that clay was inert when ingested.

The transportation and dust would be lessened from the printing process if it were done by the individual, but if what you say is true, then the whole idea is worthless unless there’s an alternative material available.

Well, in this hypothetical I’m proposing, there is no superheating involved- just printing, and being set to dry.

Ceramics get completely rigid, but relatively fragile in this state, which would be sufficient for a single use material, but if they’re soaked for long enough, would dissolve.

The term is “Bone Dry” and specifically how to reclaim bone dry clay- that’d probably give you an idea on how it breaks down/dissolves.

there would be no straightforward way to get it back into print media unless there were recycling centers, but if one cleaned the food matter off well, in theory it could be standard clay people could use.

Imagine collecting food cup clay and making it into bricks for public projects.

I live dangerously- I make yogurt in old jam jars!
…Though you only need to go to 180° and don’t need pressurization for it.

But I absolutely echo you with that, the fact that you can’t use most glass for this is insane.

And I only use the Baba Maman jars, they’re the only ones resilient enough.

Go to a grocery store, bring your metal containers to the grocery, get them autoclaved while shopping, and get em filled up with your rice/cereals/juice/etc.

Edit: The below is a bad idea unless new materials are found, see comment thread.

Also, SLA Printing for ceramics is already possible, just expensive for now. Once we figure out how to do that sustainability and in a foodsafe manner, we could just print our single-use cups and dishes from a slurry.

Yeah, finding the gunk from a bone dry ceramic cup left in random places outside would suck, but nature would be able to reclaim it as easy as any random dirt clod. (Well, not as quick in the short term, but when it comes to materials)

One could potentially even just rinse out the clay, stick it in some water, and with some elbow grease and effort, process it into actual, useable ceramics. Depending on the formulation required for the SLA process, of course.

My mother’s coworker’s child made a bacon bundt cake, and specifically sent a piece for her.

I agreed to eat it with my mother out of solidarity.

Honestly, she’s like, 9 or something, and did a great job of it. Kinda had a bacon pancake going, didn’t have many tunnels or anything. Would be a great dessert for a barbecue, that kinda thing.

But no one in my immediate family is that into bacon, let alone being combined with sweets.

Very robust post, covered most of what I’d say in a far more verbose manner than I have the gumption for right now.

Most of my free android games came from when Amazon did its Amazon Underground thing years ago, so you’re kinda SoL on that, sorry.

The quiz shows up in multiple games, I thiiiink this question started showing up in Morrowind though, iirc.

That one question from the Elder Scrolls class/Personality quiz was uncomfortably prescient:

Question 4: There is a lot of heated discussion at the local tavern over a group of people called ‘Telepaths’. They have been hired by certain City-State kings. Rumor has it these Telepaths read a person’s mind and tell their lord whether a follower is telling the truth or not.

Combat Response: This is a terrible practice. A person’s thoughts are his own and no one, not even a king, has the right to make such an invasion into another human’s mind.
Magic Response: Loyal followers to the king have nothing to fear from a Telepath. It is important to have a method of finding assassins and spies before it is too late.
Stealth Response: In these times, it is a necessary evil. Although you do not necessarily like the idea, a Telepath could have certain advantages during a time of war or in finding someone innocent of a crime.

It looks like the kids these days are all mana-slingers lol

Oh, I understand that. My handwriting isn’t great, and I used to do absolutely massive, elaborate drawings, dabbled in asian calligraphy, etc. those skills do not translate.
