    maybe? i'm quite sure you can use them in the same way though. garlic greens are good too. and depending where you live, you can forage good wild options too. my dad's back yard usually gets a good crop of 3 pointed leeks that i would harvest when i lived with him.

    the decision of whether or not to pursue an official diagnosis is a pretty personal one. there's a lot of variables, depending on your individual situation, but yeah there's not usually a whole heck of a lot of material benefits if you aren't still in school.

    most adults who go for a doctor's diagnosis do so because they value getting that second, professional, opinion on the matter. it can help settle down all that second guessing. but, it isn't strictly necessary. most autistic communities are perfectly fine with self-diagnosis; you can learn the diagnostic criteria yourself and do your own research, and no random doc is gonna know you better than you know yourself.

    i didn't seriously consider that i was a lesbian until maybe a few days after i accidentally went on my first date with a girl. i was in my 20s. i was pretty sure i was strictly aro-ace before that. i did not suspect it was a date-date until she kissed me at the end of it, despite the very date shaped nature of the whole outting.

    the begats ain't so bad, it's only a couple short bits in the first book, as i recall, which is otherwise one of the best books that i read, with lots of relatively interesting short stories. the worst part in the early first books that i read in their entirety would have to be in exodus, where god spends ages going on and on to moses about the precise details of his dream tent. it feels like it goes on for a hundred pages, and then, a few chapters later, he does it all again.

    the title of this post really seems to be advocating for making sure trump wins (or at least for harris losing, which in the US's two party system, amounts to the same thing). though i don't know what it has to do with putin.

    braking and honking do not always apply to the same situations. both are necessary safety features that should absolutely not cost extra.

  • How do you differentiate between knowledge and belief?

    I have knowledge. People who disagree with me have beliefs. /s

    nah but for real its all the same, innit? it's just a matter of how well supported you think your thoughts/beliefs/knowledges are. if i was drawing that kind of a distinction in my head, wouldn't that mean that i'm thinking things are true that i simultaneously know are false? if i was gonna have 'knowledge' and 'beliefs' rattling in my head as separate things, that seems like me it'd smack of willful self-delusion.

    one time, i saw somebody try to sneak by a big truck making a necessarily wide right turn, and get the whole left side of the car sheered off like a pad of butter.

    we most certainly do not need both. if we did the latter successfully, we should be getting rid of most gas cars, and replacing only the remainder. having as many cars as we have now is bad for a multitude of reasons beyond that they're mostly burning gas.

    just cause you recognize that you gotta use steam if you wanna make a living, doesn't mean you can't hate steam and wish they didn't have such a monopoly. lots of people use things they hate, just cause that's the meta, y'know?

  • after about nine months of dreaming and pining and putting it off because of money, i finally got me some inline skates and i am so happy with them. i used to do a bit of aggressive inline years ago, and last winter i got the idea in me to start skating again for some reason, and the idea would not leave me be. i was hesitant to order something online though without being able to try it on first, but i found a physical skate shop with what i wanted only like an hour and half drive away. so i hit the road this morning, and not only did i manage to get exactly the skates i wanted, sized perfectly, and they were on sale, but the dude (Gil) at the shop threw in a free t-shirt and some wax too. big shout out to roller warehouse in rocklin, CA. i then took them to a local rink, and was pleasantly surprised that i hadn't lost all of my skills over the past decade. i did take one tumble when trying to hop out of fakie, but i had a hell of a time overall.

    >For the past 20 years UK Post Office employees have been dealing with a piece of software called Horizon, which had a fatal flaw: bugs that made it look like employees stole tens of thousands of British pounds. This led to some local postmasters being convicted of crimes, even being sent to prison, because the Post Office doggedly insisted the software could be trusted. After fighting for decades, 39 people are finally having their convictions overturned, after what is reportedly the largest miscarriage of justice that the UK has ever seen.
