They’re probably self-deprecating to the point where they see her trying to help and feel inadequate for not being able to do the same. They understand that she has the resources to do so and they don’t, but those feelings of inadequacy still don’t go away, so they just want her to be gone so that they don’t have to feel that way anymore.

I see that line of thinking all the time in people who have internalized the American propaganda of “work hard and you’ll find success.” They can’t process the fact that they’re working as hard as they can without achieving success, so they rebel against the idea of success itself regardless of how its used, because they see that as easier to topple than the broken system that causes the issue in the first place.

They’re in such distress that they no longer care about whether we’re moving forward or backward as a society, so long as they feel a bit better right now. It’s exactly where the elite want us to be.

It felt like they were trying to pack so much symbolism in that it all got too convoluted, and I rarely understood what exactly was going on. I could tell that they were trying to say something profound, but it felt like an artist trying to make a realistic painting with fingerpaint - the medium just didn’t suit the message. But maybe it was just over my head.

People really underutilize their toes. I’m anything but flexible, but I use my toes to grab small or squishy stuff like this all the time. I can even open a door with my foot if I’m carrying stuff with both hands while barefoot, though it took a lot of practice and still comes with a chance to fall.

You can always focus more on fat for a more meal-adjacent baked good. I took my cinnamon roll recipe and turned it into a dill bread cheesy roll with sour cream filling, and it worked great! Terrible for you, but delicious.

Never understood this. I dick around while baking all the time. I pretty much never follow the recipe, and just throw whatever in in whatever amount I feel like. Sometimes things get weird, but usually it turns out alright with just a bit of extra flour or water to get the consistency right.

Cooking on the other hand… As far as I can tell, meat goes from raw to tough as nails in about 3 seconds.

People think “free” means “I can do whatever I want,” but really it usually means “people with more power than me can do whatever they want to me.”

Morality is subjective, and as a result moral condemnation carries no weight to anyone but those who already agree with the condemnation. Condemnation isn’t meant to directly change the behavior of those who disagree, it’s meant to spur those who agree into taking action to combat what they view as immoral.

Updates, too. Games had to actually be in their final state before they could be sold.

As a dude who uses a photo of my wife about to bite into a big turkey leg as my phone background, they’re the best photos to use. Nothing’s more fake than a photo of someone posing and putting on a fake smile, and we’re one of the few who get to see some of the real ones, like this one. We cherish that.

While yes, those groups certainly exist, the majority of people just truly need help from someone who actually cares to help them, and not someone who says they do, but abandons the idea when it turns out to be difficult to supply that help because it never meant that much to them in the first place, if it was ever anything more than talk to begin with.

Pointing out the tiny problematic groups without even mentioning the much larger legitimate group reminds me of people who complain about welfare because of the tiny group of people that exploit it, completely ignoring the huge amount of people that just need help.
