  I think this needs to be changed to “I need to help bring about horrible things to terrible people.”

  Be the change you wanna see in the world, kinda thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Avocados are definitely more on the savory side of the food spectrum. Culinarily, they’re almost always referred to as a vegetable because of this, despite being a fruit in botanical terms.

  As others have said, salt is pretty much always involved in their preparation. Also, for me and most of the people I know, it’s more of an addition to a meal than an actual meal or snack in itself.

  I often dice them and put them in rice bowls with cilantro, lime or lemon juice, and whatever other protein I’m using (usually chicken or a fresh fish). They’re also added to citrus heavy or savory Asian fusion dishes a lot, nowadays. Basically, avocado goes well with anything rich and savory or light and citrusy.

  Aside from that, they are a popular condiment on sandwiches and wraps and add a hint of their flavor and a really nice texture.

  People will also do them somewhat like oysters, though, just halved and with hot sauce and lime or lemon juice.

  Regardless, I don’t think anyone I know eats them without preparation/straight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I look like shit some days?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I often felt this way in school, through grad school, as well. For me, it would be a bad hair day or just waking up not feeling great about myself and I’d basically just color the whole day in the shitty mood I woke up in and I basically gave up on the day

  Definitely a your mileage may vary kind of thing, but for me it was pretty much impossible to reframe my day when I got into that mindset.

  I also think being in an environment where I, consciously or unconsciously, felt a need/want to look good to other people (highschool and law school were very like this for me) would put me in that mindset.

  I eventually addressed these feelings through a lot of self work and help from a good therapist, but I think age and confidence also played a role/were intertwined in this for me.

  Eventually, I didn’t care so much about how I appeared to most others, told my pretentious law job to kick rocks, and became a teacher. I’ve developed even tougher skin through that profession because kids are both freaking hilarious and remarkably brutal. Any form of pretense or GAF kind of energy will be detrimental to honest interactions and teaching in general, so when the kids learn that I’m just here to help them learn and don’t care about clout/drama, it really helps tear down some walls.

  Idk, kinda went on a bit there, but basically a lot of what I experienced was due to me caring about how I was perceived and if it wasn’t perfect in my eyes, I gave up. Once I started focusing on honest interactions with others, and moved into a career/life trajectory that supported that focus, I kind of moved away from being so hard on myself.

  Some or none of this may apply to you, but I hope this helps a bit and if you’re asking these kinds of “why” questions, you’re already on a good track.

  Nice. I liked it before the dlc came out so I’m definitely down to see how it changes things. I appreciate when studios support their writers to deliver a satisfying/impactful product. It makes all the difference.

  For a long while, DLC has been just an excuse to foist unnecessary content on the consumer for sales. There are a few notable exceptions in this like Fallout 3 and New Vegas, earlier Borderlands, and, surprisingly, the recent Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon.

  For the most part, though, I have not bought DLC without thoroughly vetting it. I’m not talking about cosmetics. I’m talking about actual story/content additions being overpriced fetch quests which are, more often than not, just vehicles for more useless cosmetics.

  As an example, Fallout 4 DLC (much like the basegame itself) was a mistake seated in brand loyalty/a hope of redeeming the title. The DLC featured cosmetic additions for their Sims style settlement minigame, a couple cutesy fetch quests for armor, and two unfinished story DLCs that played like the elevator pitch of what would have eventually been fleshed out of this we’re an earlier entry in the series.

  With most story DLC, at best, you get a lackluster and entirely forgettable addition to the basegame. At worst, you get horse armor disguised as a new campaign or an unforgivably half assed hodge podge of storylines that cheapen the rest of your experience with the game.

  They’ve had the famous star on their menu even before their quarter pound “six dollar burger” options came out in the mid 00s.

  Famous stars were more like their signature/original burger (I guess that and the Western Bacon burger) and were priced lower than their premium line of six dollar burgers or even most of their promotional stuff.

  That’s how far we’ve fallen lol. The price didn’t just go up 36 cents, their original tier burger either doubled or tripled in price (even outside of a meal offering) depending on where you live and they discontinued the premium Angus beef burger line because nobody can afford it/they continue to enshitify their menu and quality of their ingredients/sourcing.

  Replacing godheads and debating minute dogmatic differences between colonizer/authoritarian religions is not going to change things for the better. We’ve been doing that for millennia.

  Emphasizing historical learning and perspectives from the breadth of the world as well as modern civic humanist principles in our communities sounds a lot more effective to me than replacing one fictitious narcissistic sky daddy with another. Go peddle your ancient brainrot elsewhere.

  Yeah lol I will agree that it’s less heavy of an accent, for the most part, but most people can still tell unless you literally talk like a news anchor. Same with West Coast accents tbh.

  I recently finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and I think it fits the bill perfectly. I laughed, I cried, I raged, I celebrated, I was in awe. Really a beautiful story and deep take on life and existence. I went into it blind and highly recommend that kind of experience as well.

  Jade Empire, baby! Finally got back around to it. I usually return to this game every so often but this is my first time playing it on a steam deck. Pretty easy control customization straight out of the box in the game itself. Also the first time playing it with gamepad in a while so lots of nostalgia from my old Xbox days.

  I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me. You know, when I left the house today I was thinking “Damn, I really hope some hot chick paints my brains all over some fucking hallway.” And here we are.

  I mean, really, just absolutely destroy me. I’m talkin’ full on, watermelon in the thighs level carnage.

  And I want it to scare the shit outta me. I mean I hope I piss myself. I hope I piss myself and you call me your little “peepee pisspiss boy.” I want you to fuck me up. I mean I want you to make me your bitch. Your little peepee piss myself bitch.

  I want it to get embarressing. I mean like… weirdly embarrassing. Unsanitary, too. We should be entirely different people, by the end of the first eight hours.

  Do you understand what I’m trying to say here? I mean, l’m a real freak. I’m not normal. Ma’am… Please… You have to crush me.
