I'm not saying that leeks are onions (though they are alliums, i.e. of the same family). To me, whilst they do taste quite different to onions, there is still a flavour that I would describe as onion-y

Related: Daniel Gritzer of Serious Eats explored different ways to mince garlic, finding that some methods significantly increased garlic's pungency/strength (and also that long cooking methods negate much of this difference)

I'm curious about how far your onion dislike goes. For example, I recently cooked lohiketto, a Finnish salmon soup. It feels like a rare meal that doesn't use onions (it's basically leek, carrot, potatoes, cream, salmon and dill), but the leek sort of fills the role that onions usually would, albeit more delicately.

The most fucked up thing is that Grok does seem to have guardrails — except they're geared towards preventing it from being "too woke"

Alex turntine faked a terrible haircut. People who loved Alex bullshitted that it looked great because they were worried about causing upset to someone who had recently attempted suicide (an understandable anxiety, but also in my experience, having people walk on eggshells around you can make things worse). This prank may have been done to try to break the tension a little, or perhaps Alex was just enjoying the absurdist humour.

I think that Linus becoming less of an abusive asshole over the years has been a positive development, but I wouldn't mind the return of the old for this event

It is not reliable at all, and yes, it is widely considered to be psuedoscience. Yes, this is a batshit insane scenario

What the fuuuuuuuuck?

"Firms driven by transient investors act as entities independent from society entirely."

This just made something click in my understanding of why this stuff is so awful. I feel like I already understood it before, but now I feel like that's deeper

This is not the kind of person that the meme is poking at, but my late best friend was one of the best people I have known, and I talk shit about him all the time. It feels like being honest about his depth and complexity is a part of how I honour him; I'm firmly of the belief that if you have to lie about something in order to love it, then your love is shallow and false.

In the changelog for my solo projects, I like to trash talk past me as if it's a multi-person project and they're a random dumbass who made a dumb bug E.g. "Changed [thing] because some dumbass thought it'd be smart to [dumbass implementation]

It's unclear, because the relevant official bodies insist that things are fine
