@Tfmonkey You should also checkout Revival Fitness on YT and talk to him about your exercise needs. He is a trainer in the LA area who is actually competent and doesn't try to scam people.

@Tfmonkey Clavicular did get plastic surgery, and quite a bit of it. He didn't do everything he did with a hammer. I'm not criticizing what he's doing, but I need to correct you on this.

@Invictus Because they have no shame, no pride, no standards they see worth preserving, just mechanical existence.

@MCMLXVIIOTG @deprecated_ii Agreed. It's too inefficient in design. There is a reason the current container ships look like they carry an apartment building in thier belly.

@Tfmonkey
This video is very technical so, I'll summarize it.
This guy built a website to 85% completion with deepseek for less than $1 in 30 minutes.

I know 85% doesn't sound like much, but it's impressive for an AI and saves loads of dev time. If you have the knowledge to leverage MCP servers with non-state of the art models like deepseek, you can do amazing things for tiny amounts of money.
This was also back in April of 2025.

Onions: sweet mostly.
Potatoes (not Russets, but a variety like Kennebec): savory, a little bitter
Rhubarb: sweet, sour
Cabbage: umami, bitter
Carrots: sweet, savory (depending on the variety)
Parsley: savory, bitter
Swiss Chard: savory, bitter
Beets: umami, bitter, sweet (depending on the variety)

It's really hard to lump some flavors into the five categories (though I know them) because they are more nuanced, especially the aromatics like garlic and onions.

@Tfmonkey Vegetables: Umami, sweet and bitter, depending on the vegetable.
Rutabegas are sweet and umami.
Celery is bitter and savory.

Good bread is mostly umami.

@Tfmonkey Based on your comments about vegetables not tasting like anything (which you've made similarly about bread) you've only ever eaten store-bought or commercial-grade bread and vegetables, and in that I do include most Amish and farmer's market food.

Sourdough bread that you make yourself from ancient grains like einkorn or antique whole wheat varieties has amazing flavor just like vegetables that you grow yourself organically have excellent flavor.

@magicalthinking It's true. A friend of mine is 100% MAGA, but he also was pro-Obama.

@Shadowman311 Yes.

... I spoke to the rest of their family in said social setting, and further conversation never seemed to continue beyond the introduction even if it was private.

My assessment follows:
1) The behavior that made the older women recognize me as a catch was in-congruent with what the younger women found attractive.
2) The situation in which they would consider it appropriate to meet a boyfriend was not and could not be the same social situation as the one in which they would find their family.

I have a curiosity for everyone:

I observed that when I would meet people in a familial social setting, e.g. church, social clubs, etc.

Grandmothers and mothers would always want to introduce me to their granddaughters/daughters because said older women adored me and openly told me so. (I was a handsome, had a good job, solid work ethic, nice clothing, commitment to the cause, etc.)

Their granddaughters/daughters had no interest in me when I would speak to them in the same manner in which...

@marlathetourist Notice that every single one of those hens cheers and applauds because he passed the shit test. He knows what they are.
