Miso soup is something I make often and guests have commented that there is a seafood-like taste.

Mushrooms cooked the right way can be used to imitate mussels.

Seaweed/kelp in any form add an oceany flavor.

I haven’t tried these recipes yet, but maybe you’ll find one that you like: vegan seafood recipes.

Tactical salad, lol.

(While chewing lettuce) “Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.”

With the right marketing, it’s a sushi bowl now. Different arrangement, same taste. Besides, it’s all brown in the end :)

Spending time with my favorite people, helping others, finishing goals I set for myself, being outdoors, and listening to music are the big ones.

Then there are smaller everyday things like autumn and winter weather, good food and beverages, good books and films, putting effort into looking nice, and so on.

How about you, OP?

Is SantasMagicalComfort like a limited holiday edition that is brought out once a season?

Love seeing original references to usernames and inside jokes in the community.

It’s in the reflection of the monitor.

• I don’t want to have to create an account for everything. Even when account creation was required in the past, it would be enough to have a username and password (sometimes email address). Now often times there are so many unnecessary mandatory fields.

• I like my devices and appliances to have one dedicated function and to do it well, without extra features, preferably available offline. Music is listened to on the mp3. The TV is only the display and never the content source.

• I still prefer in-person interactions, jobs, lessons, and shopping to online ones (but support having online options for those who prefer them).

Must have been a Freudian slit.

The article specifically mentions young people who use AI social chatbots. The type of person who turns to AI for companionship probably struggled socially even before its invention. Spending most of their time talking to bots who are designed to always be friendly, agreeable, and never offend or reject them is setting them up for disappointment when they have to interact with real people who don’t behave that way.

Adding a few other alternatives not listed on the website: Tuta, Mailbox.org, Mailfence. There’s also StartMail if you don’t mind a paid option.
