My mom boiled brussels sprouts and I hated them. As an adult who knows to roast them, they’ve become one of my favorite vegetables.
People also did a lot of work to reduce the bitter glucosinolates https://www.bhg.com/news/brussels-sprouts-less-bitter/
the only problem is the amount of oil to produce the crispy brussel sprouts kind of undoes the health they bring to a diet.
at least the amount of oil restaurants will drown them in.
I haven’t had a brussel sprout in idk how long, and have no idea how they were cooked, but could you avoid this with air frying?
absolutely but restaurants always do it their own way with too much oil and salt.
Do it at home with an air fryer. Almost no oil, if any, required. Just make quarters and add some seasoning
Ritalin.
I’d heard all the stories about zombie kids and such. Then at 30 I was diagnosed with ADHD and it explained so much. My first ritalin was a life changer. Not a zombie - I could focus on what I wanted to, get things started, music stuck in my head gone, so many other things. Not perfect, but so much better.
I’m still pissed that for most of my life since I haven’t been able to have it or anything else to help.
Keeping and maintaining ADHD medication is so freaking difficult these days. It’s exhausting.
My wife has AuDHD - diagnosed with ADHD about the same time I was (age 30 for her, too). She’s still able to take meds, and yeah, it is a damn struggle every single month.
And recently, the hospital system her PCP is in changed the rules so that you have to have therapists re-confirm the diagnosis every three months. She already had to drug-test every three months (ironically to make sure it was detected so they know she’s taking them and not selling them… :eyeroll:)
Yeah my boy friends pharmacy refused to fill his script because they deemed his dose so high and called all the pharmacies around so his doctor had to lower his dose and now it doesn’t do anything for him. Yeah it sucks to have ADHD these days.
Ah, for fucks sake.
In fairness to pharmacies in general, what many don’t know is that a pharmacist has more medical training than a doctor on medications and how they interact, so doctors do listen to pharmacists on that topic (typically) - and have reason to do so.
That said, this sounds like bullshit to me. A doctor or psychiatrist probably knows the dosage better imho, so this fucking stinks.
I’m sorry :(
Yeah he’s been on that dosage for years through 4 different doctors. It’s not like this current one just started him at a high dose. He’s one of those people who metabolizes his meds very fast. Like give him a 20mg adderall and give him a drug test 8 hours later and he’ll pass, kinda fast. Every medication he’s on is a higher dose than average. And the pharmacist can see everything he’s on too.
Veganism.
Their entire basis of preaching guilt over the consiousness angle was egotistic, overzealous and unproven.(either all plant matter and all animal matter are consious or they are all not. Therefore everyone, no matter what matter they consume to survive, remains guilty of ending a consiousness or not and therefore neither diet maintains the higher ethical ground to guilt from. I will not be convinced otherwise. And especially not while every white paper starts with defining consiousness is always in their own pure hubris)
It was not until it was called ‘Plant based’ that i got on board as that research is proven. yes: it is healthier, yes: less emmissions. yes: uses less matter to consume. yes: more sustainable. (Although not sustainable for those who remain unable to digest beans as a form of protien. but that is another story)
Ethical? in the form of ‘less matter’ one might try to argue but i would not use any guilt angle on ethical stance so long as any matter that may be argued to contain consiousness is consumed. No ethical stance starts with measuring anything in value as ‘less than’ another so long as it is used just to justify to find their own comfort to judge others from.

Soups!
I think my first experiences as a child were tomato soups that just tasted bad to me.
Now I love minestrone, chicken and corn, beef and vegetable, pea and ham, and more! Often a slice of toast or crackers or croutons with.
Older pop music like Lady Gaga. I didn’t like the overzealous fans she had
Deliberately misinterpreting “bad representation”: Darwinia, the PC game (one of the first ever non-Valve games on Steam).
As a teenager I thought it had “bad graphics” because its art style was all polygons and 2D sprites. So the game’s representation on-screen was bad. See what I did there?
I don’t even remember why I bought and played it at all, probably just curiosity, but it wasn’t long before I fell in love with it. Within a week I switched from “this game sucks” to “I love this game”.
I hated Coheed and Cambria because a coworker that I didn’t get along with liked them. Then I was at a festival and saw them perform live and ended up liking them.
Very similar. A coworker of mine in maybe 2005 or so was a huge fan. I didn’t dislike him, but I did think his music taste sucked. So I thought Coheed and Cambria sucked. Then I saw them live several years later at a festival, and was blown away. I admit I was dead wrong. Listened to every album since and they are incredible composers and performers.
It would be easier to tell what I initially liked due to wrong representation but dislike now.
I was just thinking about how I enjoy watching album reaction / review videos, but for years I strongly disliked that genre of videos because the first two videos I watched from different channels covering the same song were both really misogynistic and minimizing the talent of the original artist.
What do you mean?
