you know, I don’t think we have contact with aliens, but like I totally buy the government would not tell us immediately if they did. people would totally freak out if they knew aliens were real

curious, people claim he/him lesbians aren’t real, but I’m prety sure there’s men on Lesbos

I hav reallye bad chronic pain witth my right knee

you could maybe use a stand mixer on a low speed with a paddle? I’ve never tried. plus, I tend to fold than just stir, so I dunno how they’d do that

yeah you just gotta stand there and stir and fold over while incorperating the sauce. this is why I like cooking with my wife, we take it in turns, good team work

updae. damn, itt’s good. love how creamy risotto is without any actual cream, that starch makes such a good base

making some mushroom rissotto this evening. my wife has never made risotto before, so I wanted to show her, and she LOVES mushrooms so it seemed like a good idea

? I have mixing taps, idk what to tell ya

minecraft peaceful mode seems so damn creepy. minecraft is already a pretty empty world, even less than that with the occasional cow or sheep feels like actually unsettling

so, it’s very little to do with the movie being good

watched the barbie movie. it’s aight. the stuff I liked the most was costuming, set design, and choreography; the plot was pretty fucking mid. the ken discovering patriarchy stuff was kinda funny, but a pretty meh plot overall. it’s just the same kinda fuax aspirational liberalism barbie has always been while integrating critiques of itself to be like 'actually, we get hyper femme perfect barbie and president barbie is unatainable. you just have to be you. and things will be not great, but ok :) ), and I found that pretty mid.

why was this movie so popular? like it’s ok, it’s not bad, it’s just not non stop months of memes and pop cultural relevance good. is it really just the barben-himer thing?

started reading ‘The Modern World-System I: Capitalist Agriculture and the Origins of the European World-Economy in the Sixteenth Century’ by Marxist Immanuel Wallerstein. it’s his 4 part magnum opus on modern history, an analysis of imperialism, and all that kinda stuff. why shit is how it is. I suggested to me wife we both to read through all 4 books together, and compare notes as we go. gonna be a whole long ass thing, but it is an area I am quite well read in already and one I wanted her to read more on, as well as myself. she’s far more into the value form theory than I am, but she has a sociology degree so it’s not like all of this is foreign to her. the development of modern capitalism and he proliferation of capitalism is just a special interst of mine

I’m sorry you don’t have access to google dot com in the US. sometimes I forget how deprived Americans are

ikr, think about it. so many other things have been dropped. they even completly redid how shiny pokemon work from gen 2-3, changing it from IVs to personality and trainer ID. it’s hardly insignificant to commit to making an alternate sprite for every pokemon you add, even if half of them are vomit green, especially in the days of more limited cart space

like I get the gimmic, we got the GBC now, so lets do some alternate palettes. but it is fun to get one of the very rare alternate pokemon with no mechanical differences

there’s a world out there in which shiny pokemon are a gen 2 only gimmic mechanic, like so many oher gen exclusive mechanics. I dread to think of it

this always happens, you make a good riff on one of my jokes and nobody gives you the credit. I’m sorry 😔

can’t believe Kier Starmer personally shot Geronimo the Alpaca in the face back in 2021, what a scumbag

yes all in some variety of discord
