Montezuma’s, Radek’s Chocolate.

They had psychedelics in medieval times. Mushrooms, ergot, etc.

I have some sea salt flakes I use in whatever I’m cooking, if it’s needed. Most things taste nicer with a bit of salt in.

I like her, she’s kind of eccentric and it gives her cooking shows a surreal edge.

Yeah, it’s very easy for me to look back on the 90s with rose-tinted glasses (everything was so much simpler then! Great music! Hope!), but that’s overlooking the things that really weren’t great. Page 3 of the Sun, Chris Moyles on Radio 1 counting down to Charlotte Church’s 16 birthday (aka the age of consent 🤮) rape in marriage not really being considered a thing. All symptoms of bigger underlying problems.

How different it was to exist as a girl in the 90s in the UK. I know that decade was better than many that had gone before it, but I look back at media from my childhood and it seems crazy to me now how normalised so much misogyny was. And although it didn’t affect me directly, the same for anyone on the LQBTQ+ spectrum. Watching episodes of Friends makes me cringe.

Oops, shouldn’t try to think before bed 😂 Thank you.

I think their point is they’re out of touch. In 2023 kids are wearing baggy jeans again.

Lemmy.ml but same problems there. I haven’t had time/energy to make another one and subscribe to everything again.

Lemmy.world has been down a lot, I’ve been trying to use it but half the times I’ve logged on it’s been down. So that might be part of it?

Oh is that true? So when I search for an instance on the app I use (Connect) is the list of communities that appear only there because people have subscribed to them once? Or am I seeing everything but it won’t appear in everyone’s feed until I subscribe to it?

But you’ll still see all content from every federated instance in your feed? It doesn’t matter which one you’re signed up to.

You have to go to things where you regularly see the same people every week or month. This is the only way.

Outside of work, my partner and I made most of our friends through music events. Going to the same kind of events a few times a month and spending time with the same people. We aren’t having kids so it’s been nice to meet other people in their 30s who also don’t have/want kids.

Mid-30s woman.

That’s crazy, I’m so sorry to hear that. It seems like there’s a serious problem with this kind of radicalisation.

I (OP) am in the UK and it’s definitely fringe, but it’s there. Where do you live?

Yeah this is true, my parents are definitely contrarians.

I was the same with pickles, and now I’m getting through a jar a week.
