No, but it is a funny word that evokes an image of contempt from the people who feed it to you, like a pig farmer or a school lunch lady.

And I'll be honest, I've had a crush on Aella for ages; she's a very attractive nerdy woman, and as a sexually confident and charismatic female Rationalist, she is a very horny unicorn among horses. But I've got to say, learning that specific factoid about her life had a similar effect on my idle long-distance lust as an F150's tires do on a small rodent
OP describes himself as one in his post.
This thread should not be here in the first place. It is gossip about a twitter persons nasty personal hygiene habits. It is 100% parasocial simping drama which is why a similar thread already exists in small questions.

On the other hand, you have spam and spam-like products. It's probably sat in that can for months. It's probably a mix of all sorts of meats and meat-things, along with a bunch of chemicals that aren't too good for your body.
Hormel's Spam™ is perfectly fine meat made from pork rump and shoulder, salt, potato starch (to prevent the infamous gelatin at the top of the can), sugar and sodium nitrate. It really doesn't deserve the reputation it gets.
Of all the readily accessible preserved meats, Spam is probably the least processed option.

It doesn't matter that you personally don't know what is is. What matters is what the money guys care about. All the FTX money is gone. All these bloated charities are going to have to make cuts.

You can get away with short posts here as long as you state your point clearly. Keeping things laconic takes a lot of effort and skill in language but it's hard to tell the difference at a glance between a nessessarily short post and a lazy shitpost.

Or if you really feel a need to register your objection, do so civilly.
I just did. Don't insinuate that I didn't.
I rate adequate service with no problems as 5/5 because it would be unfair to expect anything more.
I do not expect nor do I wish for anyone to go above and beyond the agreed upon level of service. I think it is unhealthy for society to expect more than what they paid for and unfair to workers.
To those of you who write reviews like "Amazing restaurant, the food was delicious and service was excellent. 4/5 stars", what the hell do you want? Pre-meal sloppy toppy? Explain why one star is missing so they can improve their service or stop pointlessly penalizing them because you had a better meal at the French Laundry three years ago (assuming their aggregate rating is greater than 4.0).
I have never seen a biological female coder outside of frontend and devops for some reason. I'm only a couple years in the industry though.
I don't have any strong opinions about learning coding other than to watch Uncle Bob's Clean Coding and fully internalize it, and to read and understand SICP.
I was fortunate enough to be mentored by a true expert in the field and had the fundamentals of pragmatic coding hammered into me. We would spend hours reviewing my code and arguing passionately about semantics and ontology. Being forced to explain my rationale and defend every single line I wrote made me a superior programmer to my peers in college.
I think a big part of being a truly good programmer is just having an appreciation for aesthetics and a sense of shame. You SHOULD FEEL BAD for writing bad code, even if it's truly nessessary. You should feel an intuitive sense of disgust seeing a function with too many side effects. Seeing awful inconsistent naming should make you cringe. These are all good things.

"In LSD veritas" was the CIA's motto in the 60s. They tried with alcohol, but determined that alcohol wasn't good enough to be used to determine anyone's true sentiments. (neither was LSD)
People react very differently to drunkeness. Some get sad, violent, horny, lethargic, delusional or paranoid. Not all drunk behavior can be interpreted as uninhibited desire.

Racist white Protestants seem like the least likely group to move away from their land to Africa of all places. Unless they lost a war like confederates in Brazil, I don’t know where one could find such white people in the 1970s
As someone with too many weird hobbies, I say my hobby is cooking because food talk is a good icebreaker for conversation and it makes me seem like an interesting and responsible person.
Anyone can talk about food.
If I heard someone answering with a flippant answer like yours I would avoid them because they lack self consciousness. Being fake or superficial to strangers is not a bad thing.

Go for it, but only one more time. Ghosting is bad manners and you shouldn’t feel shamed for giving someone the benefit of the doubt.
Don’t bring it up though, just pretend like she never got the first message for plausible deniability.

If we applied basic infosec sensibility (assuming the worst when seeing a obviously exploitable gaping vulnerability) to voting, almost no election can be considered legitimate.
But most people don't for some reason.
What is your philosophy of which issues ought be subject to democratic control, and which ought not?
Honestly, the bare minimum needed to maintain the pretense of popular will. Ideally, issues that don't really matter too much on the macro scale like abortion, weed and American Idol are things fine to delegate to the people. Democracy is a technology for facilitating the peaceful transition of power, not a mechanism for good decision making or leadership.

No forum where a majority of rising posts are deleted for unspecified reasons can be representative of anything other than the people in charge want
I've been lost in this city builder / dwarf fortress type game called Songs of Syx. It's a game about micromanaging a city-state of diverse fantasy races that all hate each other and engineering a caste system that allows for the most racial harmony. Races are all biologically different and have different lifestyles that need to be catered to.
Dorfs really like to be buried in nice tombs while ant people are cannibals that just eat their corpses and don't care.
Elves like circular buildings but dorfs like square buildings.
Pig men are mostly vegetarian while Amazons will only eat meat.
Humans are high intelligence but also prone to criminality.
There is a race of 3m tall blue humanoids that are stronger than ten men, are 1.5x smarter than humans and live for centirues but they complain a lot and are extremely dangerous when angry. Naturally I made these guys the military and cops.
It is impossible to satisfy everyone. If one race gets tipped past a threshold, they will revolt and go apeshit and start a race war. You can end the race war by having your police caste goes door to door murdering citizens of the target race until they are suppressed. In minecraft.
Also it has Total War style real time battles.
It's the kind of game I think Sseth would like.

Nah, drugs are always worse because of the other negative externalities aside from emptying your pocketbook.
I do hate that nothing is culturally taboo anymore. Everything has to be either explicitly codified by law or impossible to criticize. Anarcho-tyranny is the inevitable consequence of soft barriers being removed. Everything will be illegal, nothing will be equally enforced.

Any theory which relies on “my outgroup

Sometimes it do be like that. Sometimes it's actually that simple.

There are many bona-fide black muslims in the United States originating from eastern and northern Africa. Also, Hoteps don't present as muslim and are distinct from NOI folks.
This reminds me of that canadian show with the bald kid named Caillou that literally ruined a generation of children by teaching them how to whine as annoyingly as possible to get their way. Actual info-hazard if I've ever seen one.
