I think the flavor is too strong on its own for people to appreciate, but you may be surprised how it has been used in dishes you loved.

I don’t understand. I honestly love black licorice.

They wouldn’t even make it if no one liked it. I also like dishes that use fennel or anise.

Always have and always will. Red licorice is the garbage one.

I swear, this has to be my soul twin.

I know, it happened to a woman who was trying to win a Wii on a radio contest.

Note I said, I sardonically answered.

The “west” isn’t immoral. Anywhere in the world, you can find terrible people.

Taking LSD isn’t immoral. In fact, I would go so far as to say it introduces morality.

Corruption happens everywhere. The “bad trips” people have with LSD are:

you realize how terrible the world is

you realize how terrible you have been

you realize that you have hidden personal traume

Now, an experience relative, MDMA, is awesome! Not talking about rolls, kiddos, nor was I just talking about acid.

MDMA is so damn wonderful that we are treating soldiers with it to recover from PTSD.

Seriously, I felt like I was seeing the world as a child again.

Of course, watch your doses. Serotonin shock is real and fatal, and at worst, will cause long term damage to the brain: a fate worse than death.

But too much of a good thing can be fatal.

I once said that you can overdose on anything, and the girl I was hanging out with said, “that’s not true! You can’t overdose on water!”

I sardonically replied, “They call that drowning.”

What’s brown and rhymes with “snoop”?

Dr. Dre

Never heard of GI Joe?

Doing LSDs?! And then we did the cocaines in the 80s. Jesus, you read like an 80 year old lady in the 70’s.

Yes.

Charlie Kirk would have never said that.

Went on a date last night. We saw some live music and walked around. Took her to a really good ramen place that I had left an emphatic, detailed 5 star review for previously.

The review was so good, the staff treated us like royalty and even the owner stopped by our table.

Bam, got hugs and kisses.

Bro, this has nothing to do with modern Kosher laws: this has to do with basic biology.

Fucking hell, Christians think some dude was bouyant as fuck. That’s not really the topic.

Um, Kobi beef.

FYI, the procedure in the Bible was basic instructions on how to make sure animals were killed, still delicious, and avoided as much pain as possible.

What’s an athiliest? Athleticism?

So you know, this applies to all meat, not just seafood. This is what kosher meat is. A happy animal makes for a happy meal. Drain the blood and kill it fast.

I couldn’t eat sushi at all until I moved to a bigger city, which has a much larger asian population.

And I am extremely picky about chicken, and frankly cannot eat red meat.

You can taste the suffering.

What?

Ketchup/catsup was a fish sauce developed in China. Westerners made the recipe with all sorts of things, like mushrooms.

We didn’t start using tomatoes until like the 1800’s when we figured out that a tomato isn’t poisonous.

Go look at the wikipedia page for ketchup: the first picture is mushroom ketchup.

Why do you think your ketchup bottle specifies “tomato ketchup”?

I think you are thinking of salt, which we used for rotting meat, as salt is derived etymologically from Sol, the name of the sun and the bringer of all life.

Yes, there is salt in tomato ketchup. And then we add more on frenched fries.

But salt would cure meat, because it would destroy harmful bacteria. Ironic, because if you salt the earth, then nothing grows, even though it is named to be the essence of life.

However, you need salt to live: just not the level you get from Burger King fries with ketchup.

I never understood the phrase “cancel culture”.

Oh, was Hitler a victim of cancel culture? Well, sadly no; let me think of a better example.

Caligula. Certainly no one still looks upon his ass favorably, save for Kash Patel, as they both had fondness for horses.

“Those that work forces, are the same who fuck horses… killing in the name of”

You mean Groucho Marx?

That joke is nearly a hundred years old. He is the one who first said it.

Who the fuck is a Zilean? Everyone should know the Marx Brothers. Karl was the one who wasn’t funny, though he tried and people missed the punchline.

But they kind of didn’t, as they ended up in punch lines. Too much metaphysical humor to his works.

Had a content filter server I had built. Dansguardian.

Installed some new packages, which I had wgot (joking) at / as root. Fuck, I was a dumbass kid.

After I installed the packages, I created the folder /installs and then: holy shit, mv is naturally recursive?!

mv * /installs

Well, let’s ls to see if the root directory is clean.

ls not found.

Um… ok, this is a call center, seems to still be working as everything is still in RAM, but as it is working as a proxy for content filtering, you could lose the company MILLIONS, so think fast!

I rebuilt another server, swapped it with ninja speed, fixed the other server, and swapped it back with ninja speed.

And everyone asked me if I was ok. “Nothing. I mean, yeah, good.”

edit: mv is recursive by default, in contrast to cp, which requires -R. Scary lesson to learn on the job.

edit 2: just in case someone doesn’t understand this, I moved the entire operating system into a subfolder /installs in a production environment…

If the computer had rebooted, no one would have internet at all, as DNS would fail. Fortune 500 company. Ah damn, that was some stress.

“Hey, is everything working alright?”

“Yeah.”

“Hey is everything still working? Everything good?”

“Yes, why do you keep asking that?”

No raisin.

God, I dated a girl like this. We were like best friends, started dating and would argue with me any time I gave her a compliment or told her how I felt about her. Sad. I really did love her. She just didn’t feel like she deserved to be loved.
