  • What goes well with celery?

    Jump

  • Like others are saying Bloody Marys & mirepoix. If you want to eat it raw with stuff, but you're not in love with the texture, I'd recommend lightly peeling the celery before cutting into sticks. Removing some of the chewy rind while leaving the crunch makes it much more palatable.

  • What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?

    Jump

  • Not sure it fits your criteria, but Sausage Party was a complete surprise for me. I never wanted to watch it because it seemed dumb and purile. And it is, but also somehow it blew my mind and became one of my favourite movies.

    What instruments have the most relaxing timbre to you?

    Jump

  • Listen to a lot of renaissance lute music. Very mellow.

  • That's a really difficult issue. There's a lot of issues going on with a new family member, and your son is at a very challenging age around those kinds of issues. But, although it's very considerate of you girlfriend to consider putting your relationship above the future child, I wouldn't rush into that.

    If I was your son, I would probably take a good while to adjust to the idea, to what it means for my life and my future, to re-establish my relationship with my father and so on. Although it would be difficult, it would also be a big step I growing up and having adult relation to the world. If the problem is just brushed away, I could imagine feeling a lot of guilt later. A future brother or sister that I will never know, that doesn't exist, just because I had an immature (though age appropriate) reaction.

    We do lots of stupid stuff when we're teenagers, but mostly it's fine because we have time to grow past them. Something like this would have consequences that could haunt your family, and that puts a big burden on your son for not immediately being cool with it.

  • Does anyone else find chavs (aka bogans/gopniks) attractive?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's a pretty common thing. Many disadvantaged groups end up putting a lot of effort into how they look, because it's something relatively inexpensive they can control and express themselves through. That's why lots of fashion and culture starts among poor / gay / racial minorities, and then is co-opted (or appropriated) by the mainstream. So finding the look hot isn't too surprising, given that that's what they're going for - no one wears pristine white tracksuits for practicality.

    And the confident / arrogant and outsider / dgaf attitude can be pretty attractive to someone, especially if that person is shy, or feels trapped / bored by the more conventional requirements of middle-class society. I think that's fine (nothing wrong with finding something hot) and can even be good, if it helps people overcome a lot of the social prejudice against working class culture. It can be problematic if it becomes dehumanising, seeing chavs as primal and animalistic, as happens disturbingly frequently with white folks fetishisation of black men.

    If all meat was banned except for insects, would you eat insects?

  • Okra comes in jars? I can't even imagine what texture that must be!

  • What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

    Jump

  • No nails, gravity and large wooden stakes / dowels. It's amazing to me that people made this by hand, and by the looks of it it was some exquisite craftsmanship, but it's still functional hundreds of years later, unlike most things created today.

  • How faded is it?

  • What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

    Jump

  • Hah! I don't know if it's because of how old the wood is, but it's not very splintery, it has a smooth fossilised feel even though it's so uneven.

  • I'm super curious to know what contexts you send this meme. Is it just something funny that one of you remembers occasionally and sends? Or does it have a specific meaning like "sorry can't come have to work"?

  • Who was your celebrity crush when you were young?

    Jump

  • I don't know, some things are timeless.

  • Who was your celebrity crush when you were young?

  • Danielle Fischel and Rider Strong (Topanga and Shawn from Boy Meets World). Trying to understand how I could be attracted to both led to some important realisations as a young teen...

  • Yeah, feels like this is much less of a challenge in a civilised country. I'd just go and say I've got amnesia. I'd probably get access to various supports so I wouldn't be very worried, I'm sure I could requalify as something quickly enough. Be a bit of a hassle, but I can't see any interesting ways to exploit it, so I'd just make the best of it.

  • What are your devices?

    Jump

  • Android phone, old android phone (for bedtime audiobooks without any distractions), Linux desktop, windows laptop (for work), Supernote writing tablet, kobo ereader, pixel watch. I fly quite a lot and always get a look at security when I pull out my 5th device...

  • Is there a Lemmy community for random and or interesting facts?

    Jump

  • I'm sure that's a good community for lots of folks, but I'd defintely be up for a more random facts / trivia / history / science type stuff rather than American politics, Israel / paltestine, etc. Anyone else up for something? We could start one.

  • Why would I have to abduct my alternate? Can't I just make a living for myself in the the other universe? I'd be going to one that had much more liberal ideas about identity and needing money. I'm old enough that decisions made during my lifetime could* have lead to fairly different state if lefty / anarchist forces had been more successful than oligarchs and right-wing reactionaries.

    *I'm assuming the point of multiverses is they don't need to be highly likely, just logically possible.
