I like garlicky half-sours because my ashkenaz heritage demands that I do, but i loving LOVE the little german pickles you can get at whole foods and some European markets that come in a little barrel-shaped jar...gundelsheim I think they're called. They're spicy and delicious and I love them.

Pickled peppers are great too. I think pickled tomatoes are a bit too acidic usually to enjoy. I can't stand herring in any form but my relatives love it. Even my wife likes picked watermelon it's so bizarre.

My old zeide pickles things on his own and even grinds his own meat to make chicken livers and stuffed cabbage he's so cute haha. The ultimate Yiddishe grandpa

those are really my only memories of the guy. he didn't talk much, i think he was unfortunately aware of how dumb he was where most dumb football guys don't ever really get it. not that all football guys are dumb but this guy was just over the threshold of self-realization. he tried talking to me about video games from time to time and once he sat down at our nerd lunchtime magic the gathering game and tried to learn how to play but got frustrated. he really loved gas station pickles and his best friend was an enormous guy named Thor, i kid you not Thor was his bff's name, and he died in iraq over a decade ago. i don't even remember his name, just his squinty face. ah memory

the popular notion of autism as a disease of children hurts efforts to create support structures and treatment programs

autistic kids become autistic adults and their parents grow older and less able to care for them

The hyper focus on autism as the only "real" or "meaningful" mental illness is a giant red herring that negatively impacts treatment and respect for people with other diagnoses. Autism Speaks is a racketeering organization that should be shut down immediately.

That reminds me of a question I had the other day: is breast cancer the most common cancer that women get? If so, what is it about breast tissue that makes it particularly prone to developing tumors?

the only health bands are 20-10, 10-0, 0--10, -10--20. so -20 and -2000 are the same level of health. go nuts

you should have as many cities as possible because trade routes are stupidly OP. more cities = more trade flowing back to your capital or other cities, which translates to +40p or so per turn it's idiotic. they didn't play test this game at all

yes tile improvements are practically as important as buildings. spam biowells everywhere. terrascapes are overrated. biowells own (+2f +1c +1h -2e) i spam biowells/generators in equal proportion and farms when i need food, to be converted into gen/bio later

It's bad for a few reasons like: Komen, the worst charity ever, completely dominates the donations. The pink thing is more a marketing triumph than a charity one, and it lets really bad misogynist organizations like all the sports ones score cheap approval and pretend like they really care about women by wearing pink socks or whatever.

So people can buy pink and feel good about themselves.

Breast cancer's pretty easy to treat if it gets detected early enough though. So play with them titties!

I hated that they added that kind of limit. My favorite thing to do in Civ is to city spam and build all the buildings and watch as my culture slowly overtakes neighboring Civs. I will assimilate you all!!!
