holy fucking shit, i cant think.
Is it? i forgot lol. what now?

[なんです] = it is assuredly that…; can say with confidence that…
[けれども] = but; however; although
so taken together, the entire phrase would mean "however, it is assured that…". i'm not too sure on this translation, though.

It means "but".

I attempted that last Saturday.
Surprisingly it does work. You need a bit of baking soda if you want it to rise. The texture is spongy. I think it's the egg when combined with whatever stabilizer that's mixed inside commercial peanut butters that's giving it the texture.

>>5277
lol. that's cool that you tried the recipe. i just threw it in the this thread for a laugh and didn't expect much to come of it. forgot about that post. your reply might motivate me to give it a try now. thanks for mentioning the added baking soda.
>egg when combined with whatever stabilizer that's mixed inside commercial peanut butter
interesting. i think a lot of peanuut butter in the united states is cut with some variety of vegetable oil so that it thickens and doesn't seperate. i wonder how this recipe might turn out differently with oily natural peant butter compared to the thicker variety with the additive?

>>5284
I'm guessing it might work, but it'd taste like peanut omelette, since that's what it is.
I've been experimenting with baking since covid lockdown.
From what I learned: flour and water alone when kneaded to develop gluten will give you chewiness that over time will become as hard as brick when it loses moisture. I learned this when making a rustic bread.
Adding eggs and fat helps retain moisture and makes the texture more spongy.
Beaten eggs alone will give you a spongy texture that easily breaks / crumbles, which is why you add flour and water, and knead.
I guess oil adds crispness, but I'm not sure about that one since I haven't done enough experiment.

> Sneks are symbol of freedom.
I'm curious about this. Is it based on just the Gadsden flag? Where I live snakes are considered evil, because of the biblical story about one tempting Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

>>5072
Some satanists say the snake gave mankind freedom to commit sins by tempting eve to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

>>5062

Is snek getting bullied by monke or is snek bullying rodent and monke is going hardcore anti-bully ranger to protect rodent fren?

>Garden of Eden
>Satan
There are some Gnostics who don't believe in the typical Christian interpretation of Satan who have a similar take. They hold to the idea that any supernatural force that would try to keep humans in a state of ignorance was an imposter god with ulterior motives. So they see the snake in that story as an emissary of knowledge and liberation and not necessarily evil. In that view, both conventional Christianity and Satanism are both misguided limited hangouts.
But I don't know that Gadsden flag has anything to do with any of that.

>>5076
There's also the fact the Gadsden flag was directly inspired by that "Join or Die" political cartoon used during the American Revolution where the rattlesnake is divided into 13 pieces, so as far as burgers go the rattlesnek specifically is associated with muh freedumbs and some people probably mistake that as others having a general interpretation of snakes as representing freedom instead of that one specific type of snake.

>>5076
An alternate Christian interpretation is that, while we as humans may use the image of animals to symbolize a concept, the animals themselves are not inherently good or evil. All animals are worthy of kindness and respect because they are all creations of God. At least that's how my mom taught me.

There's certainly a time and place for everything.

I'm not sure if I follow. What kind of confrontation are you thinking about?

>>5086
Rebukes can be kind if given wisely. Confrontation can make a resolution possible. Definitely better than letting the issue fester.

sorry for typing this up with so many line breaks but it just helps organize my thoughts… such imageboard software should also be able to cope well with VPN and Tor users. if you need an account to post anyway, and all messages from an account can be easily removed, then you don't have to worry about VPN or Tor users circumventing bans and stuff like that. The downside is people need accounts, but to keep it as anyonymous as possible, you should be allowed to create/request an account from a VPN or Tor, and it should have as little information as possible. I think just an ID number and passphrase is all that's needed. Maybe even just a long unique key.

If this kind of software were available, you could start your own board and not really have to worry about moderation as much. Only accept as many new accounts as you and your janny staff can handle, if you even have jannies or mods. One guy can reasonably moderate a small board pretty well.

Normally you might ban someone and then they're back, but if you ban an account, they won't be back until they can get a new account.

The site users themselves can help with moderation. There could be a report button on each post, and if enough people click it, the system can automatically remove the post from view. Maybe only accounts that have gone through a week long probation period can file reports. That way nobody can try to get a bunch of accounts together and mass report everything. Just throwing ideas out here…

>>5024
>>5025
I don't think this'd catch on. There are already systems in place for these things and they work well enough. If you can't maintain your board on your own, you probably shouldn't be board owner or find some jannies to help out.
Not to mention I doubt most people are going to be willing to go through all that effort for an imageboard.
If you want something like this, I'd just go for a traditional forum style website rather than an imageboard.

>>5026
what systems are already in place?

>>5033
Simply having IPs and reports is enough.

found out image bords around 08-9, starting off with 4cum, started getting into alt bords about five years ago

Why is there a turtle on the cover?

>>4976
Because of 'TurtleBot', I think (though I'm pretty sure that's a real sea turtle picture Apress chose for the book's cover, not a robot heh).

>>4985
heh nice. saved.

Sora yori mo Tooi Basho is really cute and about frens, made me cry sometimes.

>80s slice of life anime

I'm interested… might watch some

Tanaka-kun wa itsumo kedaruge is adorable and comfy! It has cute girls, cute boys and pretty funny jokes. It's literally about a boy who is overly lazy and likes to sleep a lot, what is more comfy than that?

>>4913
Pic related is hotter than miho.

>>4919
Here is the pic…

>>4920
Can't argue with that. Maho's a real cutie. I prefer my girls a little less girly.

The boorus say these pictures are from this anime, I found them really cute.

>>4773
Wow. I will watch. It sounds great https://www.anisearch.com/anime/4934,strike-witches

I have close friends that I talk to quite a lot and I can talk to all the time, having a deeper relationship with. But there are also less close friends and acquintances that I talk to from time to time. Maybe a "friend" is too heavy of a word, I just want people to talk to in general, people to discuss with. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, a friendship can arise from that or we might drift away. That's generally how relationships work in general.

>>4888
I don't care about my friends' opinions. I only really care about their character. Are they an active (fun) person? Will they be willing to help a friend in need? These questions are more important to me. All of my irl friends are pretty big normalfriends, so they like a lot of stuff I don't care for. Despite that, I still enjoy being around them.
Opinions only help me find gifts or activities that my friends will enjoy.

>>4861
Politics gives you one of the best views into someone's mind.
>>4894
To me, a friend is someone I like who likes me back i.e. enjoys my company (including virtually) and who's not going to betray me over petty shit. I'm friends with a sociopath who treats me right and acknowledges that I am under no delusions about who they are and the violence they're capable of.

>>4851
>/kind/ is not a good place for politics.
I can respect that. OTOH,
>>4859
>The problem is that we're stuck together with each other.
You're right. We naturally gravitate towards politics for good reasons, as uncomfortable as that reality can be.

In the end, it's Love that conquers all. Pretty much everything else ultimately becomes 'mere trivialities' by comparison.

>>4882
but what you think and do is literally who you are, that's it, simple as.
