I’ve never used Twitter and have no interest in social media but I signed up for Bluesky because I have hated Twitter for 15 years. Also I appreciate that Bluesky has almost no data collection and no tracking. That’s cool.

I actually could not agree more. The chili flavours are insanely incredible.

We recently started using dried chilis in a blender after steeping them and it’s so much better than premixed stuff.

Is it FOSS? Or does it collect tons of data?

Oop, read the post better. Nevermind hahaha

Full agree. If it’s meat chili, the easiest way to do that is to use the meat base.

But you’re 100% correct, you can absolutely do it different ways, especially if you’re making non-meat chili.

That is hella based

But I’ve tried with a lot of different things and it always comes out best if I do the meat as a base (if I’m not making vegan chili)

I, as a chili bean lover who made their chili based on beans, understand this completely.

Chili should (if not vegan chili) be based around the meat. The meat and flavors should be #1 and the accoutrements should be secondary.

If vegan chili (which my mum makes and it’s SO DELICIOUS), this rule can be ignored.

Thank you for sharing. It really is a gamble.

Edit: oh gawd I missed that he died. You have my sincere condolences… I’m sending so much love.

That tracks with a lot of people I’ve been with.

With my current partner, every day is a new adventure. Some days are same-ey and those are amazing days. When we have to experience new things we’re both sus about. It’s always a shared version of “that was fucked” or “that was amazing.”

We’ve been together for 13 years.

It takes the right person.

Quick edit: every day is the best feeling in the world and I couldn’t love them more

I feel you! Firefox Focus is my daily driver, but occasionally its adblocking doesn’t work on YouTube so I have to manually open it in Safari :c

Even on an iPhone, you can use vinegar to block YT ads. Or Firefox Focus.

Bit of a nightmare to learn without a Sherpa.

He did that recently as well with disappearing chickens!

Saturated fats are okay kinda

Trans fats never leave your body. They’re unbelievably delicious but horrid for you.

They mostly died and had a resurgence, you’re totally right!

I hate that some people need it to be spelled out for them now. I feel like that wasn’t the case on ye olde internet.

The Blood Brothers is the best band ever

Drinking is best when I don’t have to drive… because I can have more than two beers.

Best metal show poster ever

Also unrelated but I’m in love with Mikael Akerfeldt and rest in peace Alexi Laiho, you weee the prettiest metal dude ever

The spikes… it’s always the spikes…

Casefile and Dan Carlin are perfect for this.
