I don't even know anymore

It's always fucking Reagan

"there's something about the dying that feels familiar" fucking unbelievably metal thing to be told. you die and you could swear you've been here before. the last thing you feel before your breath leaves your body is intense deja vu. you've never died before but somehow you know how this goes. you have an uncanny feeling being dead is a temporary gig for you, but you have no idea what gives you that impression. and then you're alive again. and you remember dying. and all you remember is that there was something about it that felt familiar.

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it''s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i'm not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i'm talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it's literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

i truly believe that knowing how to cook is a basic survival concept and the fact that so many people can't even make simple dishes is depressing as hell this is the sorta thing that should be taught at a young age. being able to take the ingredients you have around your home and turn them into a meal is like, essential and will make life so much better. you don't need to be a high end chef you just need to understand some things that can be easily taught... but then again maybe the education system is playing a roll against this and ultimately they want you to grow up to rely on mcdonalds for dinner. i don't know. please learn how to cook for yourself if you're able. i'm not asking you to hunt for specific ingredients to make some expensive youtuber's "best" recipe but if you know the basics of cooking you can do a lot with cheap canned ingredients. cooking can be affordable i promise you just need to learn how to make do with what you can get

Can anyone point me towards resources that teach those basics cus I would LOVE to teach my child this stuff but i dont know how to cook

not comprehensive but heres some:

internet shaquille's basics but especially:

food safety + a recipe to demonstrate

how to learn to cook (just a list of subtopics, no actual tips)

basics with babish s1 & 2, but particularly:

basic knife skills

picking the right pan for each recipe

j. kenji lopez-alt's tips and tricks playlist

egg recipes

a little more complicated, involved, and longer than any of the rest of these but good breakdown of flavor & how and why to use the basic seasoning/flavor profiles

and then recipe channels representing various cuisines:

again definitely not a comprehensive list but it touches on most of the basics

Looking up things like basic knife skills, common cooking terms, etc is also super helpful!

interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume?

me: mhm so that’s called a lacuna. it refers to when manuscripts have missing parts, lost to time. for example, the epic of gilgamesh has

The consequences of a friend getting me into RvB like a week or two ago and then suddenly Rooster Teeth announces it's shut down got me sobbing at 4:30 am

Neil Gaiman: so it's like 12 episodes of these two people being in love with each other. it builds and builds to a point where any reasonable viewer would see a happy ending coming for them, and then in the last few minutes it's ripped away and the end credits is the two of them leaving each other behind, possibly forever

Neil Gaiman: it's a comedy

As per ConcernedApe's recommendation, I started up a new farm to experience the new 1.6 content in the context of normal game progression. So I'm romancing Harvey again, and it's all going swimmingly. I bring him coffee every Sunday and Monday morning like clockwork, we do the year 1 Flower Dance together, he's blushing and telling me that my health is "very important to him," and it's all very cute as usual. Then literally 2 minutes after I give him the Bouquet, I trigger Shane's 6 Heart event.

Imagine being a small-town doctor with absolutely zero rizz who has almost resigned himself to a life of loneliness, and then suddenly this odd farmer lady shows up in town one day out of the blue and is already very evidently and inexplicably head over heels for you, and perhaps more importantly, brings you homemade pickles, and after an adorkable small-town romance you both profess your growing love for each other in your cozy office as the Summer rain beats against the roof above--

And not even a full hour later she busts open the front door with the saddest, drunkest sack of a man slung over her shoulder like "i just found him like this in the woods pls help also i love you."
