Scarlet witch is op as gently caress. Honestly the idea of a sitcom playing off the traditional fifties model with reality getting warped around it sounds interesting, but it's tied into the MCU which is quite possibly one of the dullest collection of movies ever created.

Fun fact: checking your credit score lowers your credit score.

This is a common misconception. There's a difference between a soft pull and a hard pull on your credit.

Probably a popular opinion but schools should be teaching consumer math and economics instead of algebra and calculus. I've greatly underestimated the amount of financial illiteracy among the general population.

I think the credit score people should stop caring about how much credit utilization I have. Yeah I've been at 90% usage for like 10 years, but I've never missed a payment, maybe give me more money so I can keep being consistent instead of lowering my score?

If you're at 90% credit utilization for a decade and haven't managed to pay it down, why would they lend you money when you'd end up paying extra interest and start missing payments

I looked at the debt consolidation loan letters I am constantly getting in my mailbox but the monthly payment would be more than I pay now (and I pay over the minimum payment on each card every month). I'd need like a 50k loan at this point and the terms for those don't seem very generous.

50k in Debt can sound insurmountable, but it's completely doable. The important thing right now is to get serious about tracking your expenditures and reducing your losses.

There's zero reason to buy chicken breast when Thighs are available. They're tastier, juicier, cheaper, and harder to gently caress up.

That's a good point. If you gotta beat your cock thighs might do, but breasts are gonna be a lot better for that purpose.

I can easily, but there's a ton of people out there who somehow manage to gently caress it up even after I give them the foolproof sear on both sides stick in the oven with a probe. I don't even know how you gently caress that up

If you think that, wait until you try some vanilla ice-cream, it'll blow your mind!

Homemade Icecream is so good, I almost can't go back to the store bought.

Shibawanko posted:

vanilla is a great flavor and genuine vanilla is much better than anything made with some fruit extract with usually artificial coloring and stuff
Real beans are great in icecream or any dessert that's primarily vanilla, however imitation is perfectly fine for cookies or any other dessert that has the vanilla as an ancillary role. People using pods in cookies is especially egregious to me as the vanilla is only there to add depth to the chocolate flavor, you're ratio of chocolate to dough, and which types of chocolate you use matter so much more than using real vanilla, every time I see someone use real vanilla for them it makes me cringe at the money they're throwing away.

You guys are seriously underestimating the evolutionary pressure that would be in affect on the martian surface. People that live in the Andes and other places with low amounts of oxygen have adapted just fine. Even the fact that human's breathe oxygen is merely a coincidence, caused by the highly oxygenated environment on earth. After a few generations living on Mars people will quickly shift from needing to breath air to being able to breathe space.

I haven't bought ketchup since 2014 I know cause I have a bottle of ketchup in my fridge dated 2014, I've used it like once for a sauce. It's a poo poo condiment, and you can always used crushed tomatoes or tomatoes paste anywhere in a recipe that calls for ketchup.

It's primarily vinegar, that taste isn't the same as just tomatoes. Also lol wtf ketchup are you buying? It's tomatoes and vinegar.

Are you also going to tell us how much mayonnaise repulses you?

I buy only the finest "That's Nice" brand dollar ketchup First ingredient Tomato Concentrate, second HFCS, third Vinegar.

Naw mayo is fine, I was actually making some the other day and beating the hell outta it cause I loaned my mom the hand beater, after reaching a level in exhaustion that I hadn't experienced in my right arm since the days of my misspent youth I cursed myself for not having the proper tools for the job. As I did so I looked right at my kitchen aid and realized I was an idiot.

The moral of this story is that Miracle Whip > Mayo

It's probably also worth noting that GDP per capita in China is still extremely low, which is going to really bite them in the rear end when the previous generation retires. I believe India is similar.
