They can be extremely friendly to completely disinterested to downright vindictive. It depends on the individual, just like people. The more intelligent the species, the more prone to psychopathy. I worked with them for a couple of months this year and one seriously wanted to murder me. She's the one in my profile pic. She often tried to grab at me to pull me close to destroy me and nearly removed the tip of my finger one day when I wasn't careful.

My ex girlfriend used to work at a wildlife reserve / rescue zoo / whatever thing, and out of all the animals there the old female spider monkey was the goddamn worst rear end in a top hat ever.

She didn't like one specific caretaker for whatever reason, and after three biting attempts management switched assignments so that someone else entered the mesh wire (important) enclosure while he waited outside.

So what our nice little monkey friend did was wait, and watch, and plot. One day, her hated target was standing outside too close to the mesh wire, and as soon as both handlers were distracted she sneaked close to him, hooked her tail through the wire and round his waist, and proceeded to bite and scratch the poo poo out of him on very close quarters.

Not even the capuchins were dicks like that, and those guys would steal your watch if you hosed around.

How do you have celiac disease and not realize that what's being called out is the gluten-free fad of "glutens bad, never eat a wheat" and not the legitimate autoimmune disease?

We know. We're just bitter and sad because we can't drink real beer or eat real bread anymore.

Also some people don't realize celiac is a thing and just think that everyone eating GF is a trend chaser, because they read somewhere that gluten allergies don't exist.

Ever try that sorghum beer? The name escapes me right now but it's apparently gluten free.

My favorite thing is the gluten-free label on things that an actual celiac sufferer would look at and go "loving duh", like cottage cheese or salad mix or deodorant.

Yeah, it's gross. Red Bridge is the most common one. I'm seeing it less and less at stores where I live because everything is being replaced by these "crafted to remove gluten" beers that aren't quite good enough for celiacs but are great for the trendy folks.

As for labels on "duh" items, all I can say is don't be so sure. Maybe the three you listed are usually fine, but I had to inspect my buddy's steak seasonings at a barbecue last month and one of them had barley so I had to steer clear of it.

I heard a chef on some show ABOUT GF cooking that was mocking GF labels on ice cream. Like, shitloads of ice cream flavors have gluten in them, it's a nice thing to label.

In the U.S. wheat is an allergen requiring disclosure on food labels. Barley is not. Rye is not. Gluten is not. The GF label can be a nice gesture. If motherfuckers didn't sneak that poo poo into literally everything, I'd agree with your point a bit more.

Just saw some extremely expensive gluten-free basil pesto - you gotta pay extra for the gluten-free version of course.

Oh I know, but if I'm paying top price for pesto, it had better bloody well be proper pesto - no cheapy substitutions like peanuts or sunflower oil - this fancy gluten-free pesto had lots of really dubious additions, just no wheat.

Check it's not dairy free as well, they tend to combine the two and that would be some fake cheese abomination :(

Chicken broth is one of the most irrational offenders. Yes, hydrolyzed wheat protein is cheap, but gently caress you, soup fuckers.

Also, some people get a rash from topical exposure to gluten. Our friend hydrolyzed wheat protein again. gently caress you, shampoo fuckers.

I have had some gluten free beers that were OK but mostly I just drink cider now.

There is a brewery here called Burning Brothers that makes real gluten-free beer that isn't gross. I think their stuff is only available in Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin, though.

Your life and your quest end here.


I've been to see my parents again, and again they had some weird food.



What is this? It's bananas from a can, of course!



They look a bit more banana-like when you cut them open.



And they hold together surprisingly well.



Mum mashed one up a bit for some reason.



They tasted of syrup and had a weirdly solid texture. Not like fresh bananas, more like they'd been partially dried or something.

Then we had some parfait.



The biscuit was soggy and fell apart as soon as you touched it. The cherries, like the rest of it, were frozen (and there were a few more buried at the bottom). The parfait itself tasted fine but had that effect almonds do where you end up with all these little particles in your mouth.

Still better than the bananas though.

Semi-related, albeit in the wrong direction, LOOK AT HOW MUCH poo poo COSTS IN THE ARCTIC (in Canadian dollars/les dollaires de Canada yeah it SAYS limited French ok):







I cannot even imagine how expensive bananas would be in somewhere like Iqaluit. Any Arctic Canadians itt who have stories?
