  • I found this creator to do an excellent job breaking down this topic if anyone is interested in more information.

    A bit of a clickbaity title, but the content is interesting.

  • adding a little american cheese style (we have Land o Lakes american cheese) is optimal for best results, because it does habe the emulsifyers. American and cheddar. I like putting hella black pepper in mine. aye. so good.

  • cook your noodles to just before aldente, blend with your cheese sauce and bake with crushed crackers on top.

    Its not supposed to be dry or overcooked.

    late edit. I think cavatappi is the Best mac n cheese noodle.

  • double income. You married so young?

    $20 an hour for 2008 is A LOT.

    threw it into the inflation calc. $20 an hour in 2008 is $31 today.

    I was making $7.25 with a ten cent raise at the end of the year.

    you were lucky, no shame, but both you and my sister were lucky.

  • My younger sister somehow bought a house with her friend. Her first job paid $80k a year. I made $7.25 and hour and this was not an option.

    Just another, the privledged got to buy, and the poors didnt.

  • I was 20 and making $7.25 an hour.

  • and here you are funneling traffic to it

  • The recipe usually asks for about 1-2 cups of esspresso. Ive always gone to Dunkin and ordered 4 fullshots of espresso and its been enough. Sometimes I even ask them to put a pump or two of mocha in there. How big was your tiramisu!?

  • I have a single volume of an 1875 encyclopedia, it's facsinating

  • My husband's father is very much like this too. The best parenting advice I have ever got was from him: "sometimes you just have to love them (your kids) through it (the hard thing)".

    My husband, repects, trusts, and loves his father. He's always there, he never points blame, but is just all around emotionally available, and supportive to all his children, teaching them what he can, and always with an open heart/mind. It's really beautiful to see, as a person who has never expierenced what a good dad is myself. And now, My husband has been helping me raise my son, not even his, since he was 6, with the same dedication and emotional support. This is the "gift that keeps giving" I want for my son (the joke being the gift that keeps giving is generational trauma). The gift of having generations of not perfect, but good, accountable, at peace with themselves, dads.

    Im so glad your father was good to you. It is absolutely something to cherish.

    Being "strong" and having a solid "sense of masuclinity" (which can mean so many things, I dont know what words to use here), are covered under emotional regulation. Emotional regulation, is dependable, and dependable is just a good trait for anyone to have. In the past, something a "man is", one could say the word, dependable. "I can depend on my father (for support)" is, so freaking huge imo.

    It takes strength to overcome hard, boisterious feelings. To regulate them, and tackle a problem with logic, in place of exlposions. To take a moment to breathe, lower your blood pressure before opening your mouth, and give space for your feelings and undersranding them as such. It is easy to explode with emotions, and act "big and tough" like a cock with his feathers puffed up for battle; it is not easy always, to stay calm, and approach things with EQ.

  • Young boys will discern threats over-zealously thinking everyone’s out to get them

    My son has severe emotional regulation struggles all his life. He's been in therapy since he was 7. I found it really interesting one day, when he was 8 or 9, I seemingly out of the blue, asked him, "do you feel like people are out to get you?" He said, yes, very sternly.

    The answer honestly surprised me. I saw the question on some form I did for myself (in therapy) and I thought to ask him, not really sure why. But I am glad I did. Ive been working with him on this since. A big part of what I am trying to give him is a healthy sense of self so he doesnt feel this way.

    Boys need to learn how to understand their emotions and how their actions make them look to others,

    This is the other big chunk of it. I noticed nearly all of the "grown men" in my terrible bloodline, did not possess this skill. Again, with help of a whole ass therapy team, I am trying to give my (fully nerodiverent) son these skills. To identify how we are feeling using words, specifics with broad vocab, just doesnt come to everyone easily, and half the battle it seems, is to beable to recognize our emotions for what they are. Then you have a chance for positive change and regulation through the tough emotions.

    Another big chunk, is.. seriously, fathers need to love thier kids and be present, and set a good example for thier sons. A father not doing this, for anykid, fucks em up, but especially our sons. They need positive "masculine" role models if they stand a fighting chance to not become so vexxed they ruin thier relationships with others (and honestly themselves too), from what Ive seen in life.

    and goes without saying, kids need humans to raise them, not an aglorythm.

  • ALL thier shit is one sale at the store right now, for the cheapest Ive ever seen it, No Fucking Way am I buying it ever again. Havnt bought Goya since the first rump admin, now it's taylor. Lots of stock in the stores, it hassame a giggling

  • that the priest should go on being allowed to rape young boys?

  • I really liked thier chili mango salad kit. The only salad kit I ever got infact.

    Wont be buying that again I guess.

  • I hear you. Really. I dont think Ive ever seen a CoD type player play their game with low frustration though lol But I understand. Felt the need to voice "it's not all of us!" is all :)

  • While there is some truth to this, as an almost exclusive console gamer, I play hella indie games. SolarPunk this month, Ive also 300 hours in stardew valley, Indika was a cool story game, inKONBINI was really nice too, Im trying to think of others, The Long Dark, Limbo, (just downloaded Inside yesterday) but Ive played so many smaller indie games on console.

    I recognize the monopoly/issues, I dont pay for gamepass, but I do have access. I have played so many smaller/indie games, I might not have tried because it is on gamepass. Ive even bought some after trying them there first, like HouseFlipper 1&2.

    Yes Ive heard people say I play videogames all the time, and Ill be like, oh yeah what do you play? and they say, Call of Duty, and I know to exit the conversation. But, we out here, I activley try the smaller games, all the time.

    The only games I have on steam (we have a Lonovo Leigon Go) is Civ 6, Paralives and Rust. It's kind of a shitty set up I have, with a tiny tiny bluetooth keyboard. It hurts my hands so I dont play it as much. And Rust hasnt worked since the jungle update anyway, I get like 25fps. Its stupid

  • Right now I am hitting endgame in SolarPunk. I fucking love it.

    Im the type, if a game hands you a gun, and says go kill the bad guys, Ill pass. It's very clear in this game, it will not be for everyone, I however, have sunk 60 hours into it in the last few weeks. It's for me, and I love it.

  • Back in the day, I used to just look up the different indie film festivals, see what was nominated/won, go watch the trailer, and pirate the ones I was interested in.

    Found a lot of films this way.

  • The only mobile game Ive purchased is Monument Valley, I really liked that one.
