The best part is that it’s basically what Jesus did. “Be kind to each other, have mercy”. The romans nailed him to a cross.

Are some people really that soft that they can’t hear opposing viewpoints?

Yet if you deplatform these nazis, they say exactly that.

yeah, he’s in cahoots with every “alt”-right jackass in existence, so he’s a fucking nazi, because they’re all fucking nazis.

nougat? it’s a jelly thing

no recepies I’m afraid, I hope you have fun.

The furthest I would go is for advice with the yogurt sauce/topping : go for garlic yogurt.

Lokma

Lokma is something entirely different.

part of the Eastern Mediterranean cultural continuum

this sounds like a great diplomatic way of phrasing the foods that have no specific origin during the era of the ottoman empire. I mean, some things are recent enough to be labelled turkish, or at least turkic, but others are uncertain enough to deserve this moniker.

I’ll tell you one thing though… none of that food is german, no matter what the walking Berliners will tell you about Döner Kebap.

that sounds awesome! It’s sad what happened to your mother, but time affects us all.

Maybe you could give mantı a go, you might have the dexterity and patience to do it and it might be a fun experience for you, especially if you share it with your mom afterwards or spend some time with her as you make the mantı.

you guys seem very cultured, thank you for sharing.

I’m sure she learnt from your grandma or one of your aunts, not just smoking weed :P

Whhat kind of heritage do you have to have this happen, greek, armenian , slavic, arabaic or something else?

The weird thing is that it had low quality settings to make less powerful pcs be able to run it.

You could learn to make your own! :D

Disclaimer : do not learn to make baklava from scratch, you will go mad. It’s up there with Sarma and Mantı as one of the most labor intensive parts of turkish cuisine.

I think it’s a mix of staleness and philo dough quality. The imported turkish stuff has to be made, packaged, transported etc , it gets cooled, whatever and takes ages to get to you. Meanwhile the dough is getting stale and absorbing too much of the syrup, so it becomes lower quality. Also, as you point out, it’s mass produced.

Also, the homemade greek stuff probably starts out with higher quality philo dough, and is made fresh that morning.

Not to say the greeks, armenians , syrians or whatevers don’t have the capacity to make better baklava, I’m sure they all have great chefs.

the Cadbury stuff

I’d say that’s more “inspired by” and not actual turkish delight

Source: I’m turkish, and sometimes a delight. Usually not.

turk here, baklava has to have the right amount of syrup. too much and it’s a disgusting sweet mess, just right and it’s a delightful flaky , pistachio topped treat

exactly, which is why politics free games like assassins creed and call of duty sell like hotcakes…

wait, Ass cree is a series about political intrigue throughout history and call of duty is about warfare as a result of political goals.

Are you sure people play games to escape politics?

How come they allow the sales of games that don’t use their launcher?

so Streisand effect? To the judgement system?

they say it is due to a case where they’re kinda admitting to doing something violent and illegal, probably before the development of the game, so probably not

and most of those who don’t do it wish they could.

ok, out of the people who , let’s say, own an instrument, how many do you think fall into this category?

All this generative AI for “creative works” basically makes it so that if you lack the skill to do something, you can feed it something among the lines of what you want, and it will do the hard work that takes years of effort to achieve for you.

In the right contexts, it allows for personal curation of art the user can imagine but lacks the technical ability to create.

Of course, corps and assholes looking to make a quick buck are also abusing this to make money at the expense of genuine people who are expressing something and have honed a craft. Guess what, that shit’s happening anyway, Taylor Swift is charging 5k for tickets to watch her lip sync to music she didn’t write and isn’t singing at the concert. It’s already fucking over, and has been for ages. It’s even worse, there are bands out there that have bothered to hone their craft and are out there touring their asses off, but because they “found their niche” are basically phoning it in and making the same fucking album every two to five years. Great work. Think about the last few meshuggah or mastodon albums. Violent sleep of reason, koloss and immutable are variations on the same fucking ideas. at least the band grew and tried to find themselves, and perfected themselves in the era between nothing and obzen. Mastodon stopped giving a shit since Crack the Skye.

EDIT : If I want to hear hardcore mixed with lounge , and I don’t want to learn to scream, play the sax , drums, guitar, bass etc, and I have a machine that can interpret that for me, why shouldn’t it enrich my day? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ-K647LViU

EDIT2 : You wanna tell me that there’s more value than the latest Boardroom generated pop album with no AI compared to Pho Que which was made by someone who understands what goes on under the hood with the way the AI would generate the music to fulfil their personal tastes in music and curiosity?

EDIT3 : You know what, I’ll even multiple down. I spent the morning checking out bands from a gig poster in town, unheard regional bands, and you know what, they were all generic and mid. 6/10. I was hoping to go to the gig, have a good time, discover great local talent, but I don’t want to, since it’s not worth it to bother going out to do that while I have other responsibilities or ways of having fun.

I’m still listening to Pho Que (ai generated by the guys at dadabots, through suno, the company in the OP) and I’m enjoying myself more than when I was listening to their generic efforts at black metal. There’s more dynamics, more surprises and it’s better overall.

it’s about enabling the PC gaming ecosystem, removing barriers to people who want to create games.

The entirety of valve’s motives post HL2 has been pushing this, from the steam OS to the steam workshop and how it worked with TF2

l (or you can drop like $3).

I already spent about $3 or more on tf2 when I BOUGHTIT WHEN IT CAME OUT.

I hate it when paid games go freemium and give you ONE cosmetic and tell you to get fucked.

So now if you want a decently paying career without a college degree then too fucking bad.

Go through college, fuck it up.

Go to job center.

“We want this specific blue collar job”

How do I get it

“Know the union guy or pay for a certification course”

Thanks fuckhead
