The fact that Fountain is pissing off trads over a 100 years later is so fucking funny

Motivational partner

In most cultures I am closely familiar with, "when in Rome, do as Romans do" is kind of an unspoken benchmark of how good-mannered, well-educated, and civilised you personally really are. A silent, unspoken, unseen and unacknowledged gesture that demonstrates that you were not simply trained to act appropriately in your native surroundings, but have the observance and sensibility to notice how people behave around you, and pick up on what is apparently considered the polite thing to do, and proper way to behave. It is a far better measure of having good manners than painstakingly memorising and rigoriously following some one specific book of etiquette rules.

And hilariously, this automatically categorises imperialist behavior as rude and uncivilised. Like ugh, are you seriously standing there throwing a tantrum at people who live here whose language you didn't even try to learn, about how they have not gone out of their way to learn to speak yours? How tacky and barbaric.

This screenshot from a gardening Facebook group has been on my phone for several years and I'm not sure I'm ever going to be able to delete it. Apparently it comes from a British gardening book from the 80s. I know we all joke that the English are afraid of flavor, but I assure you, you are not prepared for this.

GARLIC

Until quite recently, scientists smiled at all the wonderful medicinal powers claimed for garlic, but recent research has shown that there is some truth in a few of the old wives' tales. Garlic, of course, has an important role in Continental but not in British cookery — it really isn't worth growing unless you are a fan.

Any well-drained spot will do. Buy a head of garlic from the greengrocer or supermarket and split it up into individual cloves. Plant them 2 in. deep and 6 in. apart in March. Apart from watering in dry weather there is nothing else to do until the foliage turns yellow in July or August. Lift the bulbs and allow to dry under cover, then store in a cool, frost-free place.

If you are a beginner with garlic, you must use it very sparingly or you will be put off for ever. Rub a wooden salad bowl with a clove before adding the ingredients. Rub the skin of poultry before roasting and then you can try dropping a whole unskinned clove into a casserole or stew, removing it before serving. If by then you have lost a little of your garlic fear, you can try using crushed (not chopped) garlic in meat etc. as the Continentals do.

this is how it went right

musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction
