If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

Temperature affects the taste of many foods. Temperature change doesn’t affect the specific basic flavours (e.g. salty, bitter, umami, sweet) in the same way. So increasing or decreasing the temperature of a food item will change its taste profile.

The source I found says that it is difficult to tell if temperature change will make a food taste “better” or “worse”. It depends on too many factors.

In your case it seems that increasing the temperature of cheese makes it taste better for you. It’ll probably be because you like the taste profile of melted cheese over solid cheese. Maybe try and perceive what specifically it is about the taste profile that changes for you. Maybe you perceive it as more or less salty, more or less umami.

Dude, just because I point out one thing that Reagan reneged doesn’t make me a Reagan supporter.

Nah, talking about what kids eat compared to what their parents eat.

The ketchup as a vegetable controversy stemmed from proposed regulations of school lunches by the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)

in 1981

Mate, your hot take is older than my dad.

On September 25, 1981, President Reagan withdrew the original regulations proposed by the Food and Nutrition Service due in part to the sharp criticism from the opposition

Wow, this hot take has gone cold. Send it back.

Most of what a kid eats is what their parents eat

Did you read the article? What if most of what a kid is eating isn’t what their parents are eating?

Since that time, there has been a substantial increase in schools participating in the Community Eligibility Provision, a federal policy that allows schools in high poverty areas to provide free breakfast and lunch to all attending students.

So these kids are eating two meals a day that aren’t directly provided by their parent. Sounds like most of their meals aren’t what their parents are eating.

Also, if they are in extreme hardship, they may not even get to eat dinner with their parents.

You didn’t read the article.

It linked to a study that refutes you.

By 2017-2018, foods consumed at schools improved significantly and provided the best mean diet quality of major US food sources, without population disparities.

The large improvements at schools were associated with increased whole grains and less saturated fat, SSBs (Sugar Sweetened Beverages), and sodium.

TLDR:

Trailing commas for lists allows easier:

• merging of code
• rearranging of items in the list.

So roll a d20?

High suicide rate is connected to men more likely to have access to guns

High male suicide rates happen even without access to guns.

The idea of “the male loneliness epidemic” is meme that just generates tons of clicks and engagement. It’s not real.

Show me your receipts.

For the work place it’s again a problem of gender expectations.

You don’t think it’s internal drivers? That man are driven to perform internally and externally?

Men are actually more likely to get custody of they ask for it.

how should women help with male loneliness?

I wasn’t insinuating that women should help with male loneliness. I don’t think women have the answer here.

With the entire context, there IS a wage gap.

Which I included in my post. No context missed, glad we cleared that up.

next time a woman you know complains their male coworker makes more go ahead and tell her to work more, I bet she’ll just love that.

No, I’d tell her to lawyer up because the business better have a legal reason.

Also, the part of the paper you’ve cherry picked suits your narrative

Yes, I chose the part of the paper that supported my argument.

So what? Is it out of context? Nope.

The point you’ve made here seems to be … if anyone wants to make money you have to give up your life to do so.

You literally sell your time (life) to get money. That is what a wage is. Want more money? Sell more time.

I’m not saying that is a bad or good thing. I’m stating straight facts.

Ah yes, being a reasonable, empathetic member of society. “BoOtStRaPs!!1!”

The majority of lads are growing up without father figures, and yet we expect them to be functional males once they are adults.

If that’s not bootstraps, then I don’t know what is.

Being a fascist isn’t going to fix that

I never claimed that was a viable choice.

I’m a depressed male, I have attended therapy, I have talked with those close to me, I have been in dark times, and I’m hella lonely.

Then you of all people should know that there’s not much out there that is going to help you get to the next level. Imagine a world where you never had to go through dark times, or attend therapy, because the way you were brought up prepared you for those times. And gave you the emotional tools to navigate support networks.

Imagine stability.

In addition to being less likely than men to say they are currently the boss or a top manager at work, women are also more likely to say they wouldn’t want to be in this type of position in the future. More than four-in-ten employed women (46%) say this, compared with 37% of men. Similar shares of men (35%) and women (31%) say they are not currently the boss but would like to be one day. These patterns are similar among parents.

The wage gap exists because women have reasonable expectations for work-life balance (one reason). Men are culturally expected to rise and grind.

This isn’t the win that wage gap enthusiasts think it is. It’s essentially saying:

Wanna get paid more? Be a corporate whore.

these men need to communicate better

They need to …

They need to …

They need to …

There’s those bootstraps I was talking about.

… from my perspective.

Did … did you even read my post? What is going on?

Let me re-write it using your analogy.

Why not both? Food for minorities and food for majorities.

This isn’t a zero sum game.

If the majorities repeatedly votes for … a large detriment to everyone else

I never argued for this. It is possible to vote in a commensalistic manner.

• high suicide rate
• male loneliness has always been terrible and it’s on the rise
• 19 out of 20 deaths at the work place are men
• most likely to have poor work-life balance
• most likely to be imprisoned
• most likely to be homeless
• most likely to NOT get custody of the kids they love

Pretty excellent, aye? These men just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
