Also pre-Columbian Italian cooking is pretty cool. Hope you like raisins and fish sauce.
the kid writes (@thekidwrites.bsky.social)
I should probably do more scholarly research on this. It’s pretty fascinating, from what little I understand.
the kid writes (@thekidwrites.bsky.social) reply parent
You can probably make a case that Italian cuisine has three distinct time periods: pre-Columbian, post-Columbian pre-war, and post-war, with the vast majority of what we understand of it, even in Italy, to be pos-war cooking.
the kid writes (@thekidwrites.bsky.social) reply parent
Italian-American is a bit of a special case because a non-zero part of getting yelled at for ordering alfredo in Florence is a denial of the very real impact America has had on the Italian food you find in Italy.

Man, I really like the 50th color scheme. But to be fair, that’s mostly because the original was looking pretty washed out. With a fresh shiny coat the original colors will look great.

The yeasted dough portion gives it structure to withstand all the shawarma and tahini that you’re going to slop in there, but you bake it it starts very flat like a tortilla so the steam builds inside and creates the pocket.

Both? It’s leavened, but the puffing action that creates the pocket is essentially the same as a tortilla

My actual take on this is that porn should be harder to access, not because it will stop horny teens or because it should stop horny teens, but because it’s probably healthy to separate it out as a specialty form of content

It's extremely unfair to speculate about Donald Trump's health just because he's elderly and can't form linear thoughts and has the diet of a first grader who won the lottery and his flesh has been changing color like autumn leaves.

People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.

I think format matters a lot too. Reading His Dark Materials was formative for me as a kid and the recent series was a great adaptation. The book’s writing is a little juvenile for me now and I might feel silly rereading them, but I wouldn’t feel that way rewatching the show.

This is a very good point here: the more you expand your media diet as you get older, the less it matters that you occasionally revisit something you loved as a kid

I think this is correct. I don't think people need to feel bad about enjoying something aimed at kids and teens, but if you're only (or mostly) consuming stuff aimed at kids and teens as an adult, that's a sign that something's gone wrong somewhere

It’s one thing if you’re at Universal and you want to get the wand and drink butterbeer because that’s just part of a theme park experience, source material aside. If you as an adult want to actually reread the books? Dude. You should reevaluate some things.

My agree/disagree with this take is very case-by-case, but it absolutely applies to Harry Potter. The books are extremely for kids, the movies are barely more adult, it’s really just the theme parks that are driving that “for both” result
