It's a bit embarasing but it's relevant to the previous discussion. Honestly I'm not sure if I'm gay or not.

Does it matter to you to know for sure?

If not, just do what you like. You'll probably figure it out faster that way.

Labels are useful insofar as they aid communication

Yeah, although "I don't know" should be a more widely-accepted answer.

It totally should be, keeping an open mind is great and I feel like I learn more about myself every week.  My previous feelings weren't "wrong", but I gain better understanding of myself and others.

This applies to a lot more than gender stuff, too.  My politics have certainly evolved over time.  If I say "for the better" it's just because I've analyzed more perspectives than I used to.

But it's also fine to describe oneself before reaching total inward understanding (I hope, for all our sakes ).  Labels are just a way to communicate what we currently think, not golem-scripts or something.  Everyone's more than their labels, but they're still useful.

Labels are golem scripts, you heard it first here!

The only downside to baking with bananas is that your finished product may have a mild banana flavor.

uh

I don't think that's how you use the word "downside", person.

[Yoink]

Bananas can do that?! Oh lord I had no idea.   

[Frumple]

Apparently! 1/4th cup (65 grams) mashed/pureed banana per egg, when baking. Gonna' be trying it in the morning, we only have enough eggs for the cookies I'm planning on baking, but not the brownies.

if the person doesn’t like banana flavor, the person shouldn’t use bananas as ingredients.

Banana flavor does not go with everything. If you're not specifically making banana flavored goods, considering a banana flavor to be a downside to using bananas as an egg substitute is a very valid point.

Banana flavor does not go with everything.

I mean, you say that. I've yet to experience it actually happen

did you try it too?

[Yoink]

"Caveat" would have probably been a better choice of word, as opposed to "downside".

It's actually pretty good. Best to keep the banana raw, though, since it absorbs heat more than most other foods.
