Like it all boils down to "When I was happy and not worried, things were like this. Now things have changed and I am unhappy and worried. Obviously, if we just change it all back, things will once again be good and I will be happy and not worried."

Thus has it always been, thus will it always be when you hit middle age.

What IS Miracle Whip? I've only heard about it on TV shows, I kinda assumed it was a dessert thing like Angel Delight? But then I saw that recipe for Jelly with Olives so now I'm scared of American food.

It's a spread like mayo, but sweet and a little tangy. You usually pair it with savory stuff. I like it with canned tuna, but not anything else. A lot people think it's just mayo but with sugar and don't like it.

After a quick googling, because I also didn't know, it seems like Miracle Whip is basically just differently flavored mayo that doesn't meet the US standards for being called mayonnaise.

Also, all this mayo talk is reminding me of some story from a few months ago where some mayo alternative called itself :airquote:

Mayo

or something, and actual mayonnaise companies tried to sue them for not meeting US standards for mayonnaise. Does anybody else remember this or am I crazy?

Aioli basically is mayo with a bunch of garlic in it so it automatically tastes and is better than normal boring stupid mayo.

There's probably some other pedantic reason beyond that someone will mention.

By then, Pamphlet Anon, whose real name is Coleman Rogers, had developed grander plans. (NBC was able to determine Rogers� identity through property records that link the address where his business is registered to his parent�s home and to photos from his personal social media account. Those photos show him to be the same person who appears on YouTube as Pamphlet Anon.)

Rogers did not respond to calls seeking comment, but acknowledged his receipt of messages from NBC News via his website�s Twitter, writing in part, �WE DO NOT TALK TO FAKE NEWS.�

Kicked off Reddit, Rogers hatched a new plan. He would replace the mainstream media � often a target of Q�s posts � with a constantly streaming YouTube network made up of the self-described �researchers� who were putting together Q�s clues.

Within a month, Rogers, 31, and his wife, Christina Urso, 29, had launched the Patriots� Soapbox, a round-the-clock livestreamed YouTube channel for Qanon study and discussion. The channel is, in effect, a broadcast of a Discord chatroom with constant audio commentary from a rotating cast of volunteers and moderators with sporadic appearances by Rogers and Urso. In April, Urso registered Patriots� Soapbox LLC in Virginia.

Rogers and Urso use their channel to call for donations that are accepted through PayPal, cryptocurrencies or mail.

Idiots defrauding idiots. The (very good) article posits that the whole Qanon thing was invented whole cloth by 2 4channers and a conservative vlogger.

Of course:

I�ve been watching Fallout videos and wonder for my vegan friends and I: what would you do? In the game after the bombs fall your character, and the NPCs eat things like Brahmin (2 headed cow), iguana bits, squirrel bits, crickets, gatorclaw/Deathclaw/Mirelurk steaks, grilled nukalurk/radroach/mirelurk/iguana, roaster ant/bloodworm/mirelurk, mystery bacon and jerky. Sometimes you can eat/craft a highly irradiated plants and pure water is hard to come by. When exploring the Wastes there�s nothing but dead trees and plants so I would think even if you did find seeds and try to plant and water them with dirty (irradiated) water they would most likely die before they even sprout due to the irradiation not only in the air but the water they�re given and the soil being dead and unusable. In the game though there�s a place called Oasis filled with beautiful green trees and soil that�s good to plant seeds in, but that�s the only place in all Fallout games like that? Would you stay vegan even in an nuclear apocalypse with mutated animals and humans always trying to kill you? Or wander the wastes and survive purely off irradiated plants that are still alive somehow and purified or dirty water, collecting hundreds of seeds and hoping to find an area that wasn�t affected and killed off by the bombs? There�s a lot of scenarios and people do anything to survive especially in that scenario! Even if it means resorting to cannibalism, stealing, and prostitution. On normal modes in the game you don�t have to eat or drink water you can just play the game and do the quests and follow the storyline, however there is a Survival mode which is brutal and you have to constantly eat, drink, make sure you sleep enough all while dealing with the dangers that fly/wander the Wastes. Usually people die within a week or so unless they actually know what they�re doing and have played the game a lot but if you�re a novice player Survival mode is impossible as you take fewer hits to take down, can�t carry near as much and have to monitor your needs constantly so you don�t die of thirst, starvation, exposure, or sleep deprivation. The world would be very different and the pockets of humanity that are alive and form towns and cities would be few a far in between. Sometimes you can find mints and pancake mixes from the old world in the game for food but that�s about it besides expired cans of beans and soups from looted grocery stores.
There�s also the case that you might be a vault dweller like a lot of our characters start out as in the games! Would you be able to be vegan or vegetarian in a vault environment or just be lucky you�re sheltered and have food to eat once or even twice a day whereas the people in the outside world might eat once every couple days or so? It�s a lot to consider and think about 😂 I personally wouldn�t be focused on being vegan but just surviving day by day making sure I don�t die by the stings of bloatflies and radroaches or bites of mirelurks and molerats. I�d be focused on finding a place to live, how to make money now and keeping my radiation exposure to a minimum. I think for a lot people too they would eat the enemies they kill out in the Wastes. However whatever you eat; be it a strange plant or iguana bits, you will gain a small amount of radiation. Of course this can be fixed with medicine but the medicine can also be addictive. Unlike real life tho, in the game if you get addicted to something like Jet, Rad-X, or another medicine/drug you just go to the doctor and are all fixed up magically.

I think by the end of it all and in the dire situation humans find themselves when placed in an apocalyptic world, since food can be expensive to buy, they would just eat the mutated animals that attacked them on their adventures in order to stay alive since plants are only, game wise, found in bayous where giant alligators live along with other deadly creatures that can kill your character in a couple hits even with good armour and strong weapons and don�t offer much or no nutritional value or fill your character up very much hunger or health wise. Sorry about this giant post but I am curious to see what people who are vegan, vegetarian, or pescatarian would do in this scenario of a dead and irradiated world?

Sorry but this super wrong. The difference between mayo and aioli is the emulsifier, the thing used to keep the oil and acid from seperating. Mayo uses egg, and traditional aioli uses garlic. But garlic is a lovely emulsifier, so modern chefs just add some egg making a mayo/aioli hybrid sauce.

This attitude [that mayonnaise is gross] comes to you from young people who willingly slurp down eight kazillion kinds of yogurt, not to mention raw fish and pork belly and, yo, detergent pods, so don�t talk to me about mayonnaise.

Also she mentions sriracha as some sort of antithesis of mayonnaise even though sriracha mayo is actually a thing.

No idea. I don't know how prescriptivist the term is, but it looks like the inclusion of egg yolk to further stabilize the mixture varies by region in Italy and France so probably not. Garlic aioli spread just sounds like someone trying to explain what it is to people that would have no clue that aioli= garlic.
