I agree. I just percieve OP’s post as trying to find a lable because they just want to know whether there is one. It’s ok to want to know and telling them they don’t need it is not helpful.

I’m not doing that. As I said, I use lower temperatures.

Yep, I’m trying to use lower heat to not go over the smoke point. Canola oil has pretty good properties, so I use it. It is possible to overheat not just the oil, but also the other ingredients, so it’s good to limit the heat. That’s why I’m interested in the lower heat use possibilities of pans different materials.

Yes.

Of course you don’t have to fit a box. But it’s easier to communicate your preferences if there is a lable you can use for yourself. OP is trying to find out if there is such a shortcut they could use. Explaining that they don’t necessarily need to do that is not helpful.

Yep, but sometimes you want to communicate about your preferences, and then you need understandable terminology. Giving names to phenomena is generally useful. Discussing things is useful. Understanding natural diversity is great and important.

You seem to be experienced with pans of different materials and you opened a topic I have no-one to ask about, so I’ll try here. I don’t use much oil and I like cooking on lower heat to avoid the carcinogens that are created when oil and other substances get too hot. Is it possible to do that with non-teflon pans? What material and technique?

A personal attack? That doesn’t speak well about you.

I do think people without direct experience are unable to understand the depth or the totalitarian evil. It’s just too terrifying to accept that one can be trully powerless, that any kind of resistance can lead not just to the destruction of themselves, but also their families, that the degree of bullying and control can be so high and the regard for human life so low.

It’s too scary, so normal human minds just refuse it as a possibility and try to imagine more optimistic scenarios.

It’s healthy not to lose hope, but it’s also not good to underestimate the evil and unfair to look down on the people facing it.

Approaching middle age is the new old, I’m afraid.

Many people lose the mental capabilities they used to have when they were young, so they become unable to act the same way as they used to. They often lose the ability to learn new things. We’re talking 60+, so there are hormonal changes that can influence both the physical and psychological side of a person. Just stay young in your head is an advise similar to saying “cheer up” to a depressed person. The mental decline is probably partly genetic, partly pure luck or lack thereof, and a minor part can be influenced by lifestyle. So I guess try to influence what you can, excercise, eat healthy food, read, meet younger people and hope for the best.

One thing is to identify the bad behaviour in others, to see you’re doing it yourself is much harder though. People often don’t realize they’re doing something they hate in others.

The meaning of bread is pretty loose as it is, especially internationally.

Ok, I get this and agree. I’d argue though OP probably is genuinely silly. The problem is when you use dating apps, you have to present yourself in some way. Taking pictures of yourself and choosing the good ones is really quite a killer of spontaneity and truthfullness. And everyone knows you want to show off your good sides in the profile. Taking silly pictures with his cousin that he may end up being a bit embarrased about later seems as genuine as it gets.

What you say is not universally true. There are women (I know, being one of them) who are attracted by silly. To me, seeing a man enjoying a silly situation he himself created means I could potentially enjoy something like that with him one day, which is super exciting to me. If OP wants to meet someone to share silly things with, he should include such photo - it’s going to filter out the women who are way too serious.

Oh shit.

That’s also possible, but I think it’s worth it to leave no doubt about your feelings.

It seems like they enjoy this and would like to include you. You should tell them you’re not interested and leave.

People who tell you they don’t sleep with their mother are in denial.
