You have to follow up any looks or double takes with something exra.

“Oh don’t worry. That’s for after.” wiggles eyebrows

Having done exactly 0 research, I going to assume it’s one of those “DO NOT PRESS OKAY UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING” and someone went “pffft I know what I’m doing. click now what does this option do…”

Jokes on you, my knife cost me $40 in steel, wood, brass, and sanding belts because I make my OWN knives for my cooking.

You know, I think I might just have two hobbies and one saved me money on the other…

In my experience most adults can boil pasta.

… And boil it… And boil it… And DEAR GOD TAKE IT OFF THE STOVE AND DRAIN IT BEFORE IT BECOMES MUSH!

“throwing together a quick meal” should have it’s own word.

“cooking” to me implies you’re working on something worth the time it takes, something you want to put effort into.

But when I just got home, nothing is easy to make and I have to throw something quick together, it doesn’t feel like really cooking to me. Like im half assing it, it should have a half-assed name.

The difference between “cooking” and “hobby cooking” :

It kind of reads like the thought process of someone who just woke up, too.

I’m thinking of River Tam, from Firefly.

Whether she can or can’t do that is still debatable, but she did tell Jayne she could. And she can read minds, so it’s not entirely out of the question…

And she can kill you with her brain.

It’s the “Burning other magic rocks” party.

There’s a reason every science team down there has someone carrying a gun.

They know what lies in the deep.

For OTHERS, yes. But many want the cutting edge for themselves, at no cost to themselves.

For those who want to either go insane, or have limitless limited gloating capability!

Limitless, because to those who know how difficult it is, they will never doubt your skill and dedication.

Limited because to those who don’t know, they don’t care.

And I will have absolutely none of that madness in my life, I’ve gotten enough suffering for many lifetimes… I don’t need to self inflict more!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with Novice and only fun skulls…

More commonly referred to as LASO (Legendary All Skulls On)

Tldr people try to game image recognition, word filters, etc to increase visibility of their post on social media. It works.

People are slaves to the algorithm, even if they claim to not care. If you alter your post to increase visibility, you are playing by it’s rules.

By censoring even potentially blockable words, not only are they improving the odds it will go to a wider audience, they get people to comment “why is that word censored/why is there a random dot/erase spot?” which drives up engagement stats, thus sending it to even more people.

you wouldn’t treat a broken ankle with strong painkillers and continue walking as if nothing was wrong just because it doesn’t hurt anymore - would you?

Of course not! We limp around trying to keep it from hurting, praying to any deity that will listen and some that won’t that it heals before you have to pay for a visit to urgent care.

The pills are just to help us go to work while we mentally figure out how many meals we will be skipping to pay for it.

Now ask me if I’m joking.

I wonder if this is also one of those genetic things like cilantro, because ibuprofen tastes nasty as fuck to me. Like “bitter and my tongue wants to cut itself off to stop the taste even after a drink” nasty.

The same kind of person who shares this as if it’s some sort of condemnation see absolutely no problem sitting on the couch, pounding down 15 beers a night, and scream at their wife and kids

You joke, buuuuuuut https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/launch-code-for-us-nukes-was-00000000-for-20-years/

The USAF has denied this, multiple times.

I do not believe them.

Mainly because I know how people were during the cold war and have no doubt in my mind that the thought process was “nobody will ever access this without a reason, so let’s make it super quick and easy or we might be radioactive slag before we finish typing”

The mere fact that it’s believable is a problem.

Something tells me that unlike every other role where he makes people jump through hoops every game regardless of how many decades they’ve voiced the same character, he did not make Hideo Kojima audition for the voice.

I’m not bitter or anything, why do you ask?
