  • Avocados are definitely more on the savory side of the food spectrum. Culinarily, they’re almost always referred to as a vegetable because of this, despite being a fruit in botanical terms.

    As others have said, salt is pretty much always involved in their preparation. Also, for me and most of the people I know, it’s more of an addition to a meal than an actual meal or snack in itself.

    I often dice them and put them in rice bowls with cilantro, lime or lemon juice, and whatever other protein I’m using (usually chicken or a fresh fish). They’re also added to citrus heavy or savory Asian fusion dishes a lot, nowadays. Basically, avocado goes well with anything rich and savory or light and citrusy.

    Aside from that, they are a popular condiment on sandwiches and wraps and add a hint of their flavor and a really nice texture.

    People will also do them somewhat like oysters, though, just halved and with hot sauce and lime or lemon juice.

    Regardless, I don’t think anyone I know eats them without preparation/straight.





  • Holy fucking shit. The quotes are genuinely deranged. I honestly don’t have words.

    Also, wtf is that weird ass black gubernatorial candidate yapping on about with the term “woke right” as a description for these racist, incel, hateful chuds? Those fuckers have their heads so far up their own asses and so deep in the sand, woke is literally the opposite of their entire life experience.

    Edit: Jesus. They are so. fucking. weird.

    And dude is literally calling people who would legit murder him “woke”. I don’t even know if I want anyone to make it make sense, really.

    I have no idea how this is even classified as politics anymore. We’re so desensitized to this batshit swill.



  • Definitely appreciate that. My first scout master was genuinely Mr. Nature and taught us so much. He stuck around for a couple years after his kids went through and we all benefitted from it.

    A few friends and I quit in protest a ways through life scout because our second scout master turned the troop into a nepotistic theocracy. He was a very sad pharmacist who moonlit as a wannabe drill instructor going through a major midlife crisis.

    We called it when he began fast tracking kids in his church through eagle and being openly hostile to any of us who weren’t basically white Christian nationalists. Although this dude was a Catholic, it also didn’t help that the Mormon church had entirely captured the administrative structure of scouting in my area around the same time.

    I saw how good it could be and then saw it turn to absolute discriminatory and racist shit within the span of about a year and a half. All of that really dispelled any of the magic for me and I was over it.

    I will say that it was an early lesson in appreciating, understanding, and emulating good leaders and giving myself permission to cut ties with losers. It was also pretty amusing seeing the kids/families who stayed in the troop get all fussy when those of us who left outperformed and led more well rounded lives than their weird, coddled, and emotionally stunted children.

    I like to think I got what I needed out of scouting and more lol.


  • Of course LinkedIn slop misinterprets the data to basically say, “You, too, can become a billionaire even if you had mediocre grades!”

    That hellscape of a platform is so full of self aggrandizement and accountability dodging.

    Edit: Also, this guy has no concept of education and seemingly a feeble grasp of success markers. His articles seem extremely biased by his own upbringing and social mores.
