I agree in most cases, but I know people for who cooking is just another hobby, they put on some TV or a podcast and lose themselves in the labor. For those people it’s feasible, maybe not EVERY night, but on a frequent basis. The point you’re touching on is a very good one though, because it highlights how people are made to feel ashamed for not making “refined” food, or pressured into eating “conforming” (typically over-processed and made hyper-palatable with a lot of nutrition stripped out.) food that isn’t healthy.

Learning simple, and flexible, porridges/curries/stews (slop by some definitions) is the way. They’re simple, in that they often let slow simmering do most of the “work” of cooking for you. They’re highly flexible, in that you can adjust to what’s available instead of being locked into buying specific ingredients that may not be economical. These are the dishes normal people ate every day for thousands and thousands of years of human history. Yet, we’ve become addicted to trying to eat like some sort of french aristocrat for every dinner and that’s simply not feasible for most people who don’t find cooking innately rewarding and have money to spare.

Eh I’ve been known to drop upwards of $300 on a single order, then again it’s meant to last for 4-6 months. (it never lasts).

Man, I am so hyped for this season, I’ve been looking forward to this for months now. Trigun, Frieren, JJK, Oshi no Ko, it’s just STACKED. Non-zero chance I may have to put somethings on the backburner until the season over even.

Don’t misunderstand, I wasn’t replying to OP directly, merely commenting on the same thing as him.

This shit drives me insane. It is completely okay to have preferences, why would you expect anyone to want to date someone they do not find attractive? That’s absurdly unfair.

Wow, so cool, adaptation happening over such short time spans always catches me off guard.

Wow, that was truly excellent. I have to admit I went in with low expectations. The Chasm is a band I’ve bounced off a few times, so seeing that in FFO had me a little skeptical. But I was wrong, maybe time to go back once again and see if I’ve developed some taste.

Yeah, it was one of the less fun things to realize about myself.

Late reply, but anyone else listened to Dreaming Delusionby Gloombound? I’ve given it a few listens as part of my yearly backlog clearing, this is some good stuff!

Well, I gotta admit I am kinda of a freak when it comes to switch tastes. I love it to be loud, obnoxiously loud, with a huge accutation force. I have generally bounced between Box Jades/Navys and Kaliah Burnt Oranges, I really want my typing to be a sensual experience, feeling and hearing each keystroke. Since I do not do much high APM gaming, the extra force required never feels like it gets in the way; most others tell me they emphatically do not feel the same. So this is very much a bit of unusual take, and I do not know how relevant it will be for you.

Love me a little bit of -core in my OSDM, don’t tell the cool death metal guys I said that.

I’d like to point out we’ve achieved that without the support of one of the largest tech companies on the world.

Dang, I really like the little jazz-fusion inclusions, always been a sucker for that. Honestly, I’m most reminded of a thrash equivalent to what Afterbirth brings to Brutal Death, not that I’d take the comparison too far. Love to see polish metal bands, it feels like you never get to hear much from that scene outside of Mgla/Vader.

I promise you one of the first things any time traveller from the past would notice, would be how much nicer everything smells. Not that they did not care about smelling nice, or were content being filthy all the time, we simply take for granted how incredibly easy hygiene has become.

This album just makes me laugh every time I look at it. What the fuck even is that dudes, it makes a statement I guess. The vocalist is PERFECT though, he really sells that “I’m a disgusting freak” vibe the album is trying to evoke.

This post is a tad unusual from me

Yeah, that’s why I did a double take when I saw this lmao.

Always remember that the things that you liked about Iced Earth, are not the same as what has lead you to not being able to stand them. You did not love his music BECAUSE it had subtle chud adjacent messaging, you were most likely just doing what a lot of us subconsciously do, tune it out.

Ultimately musicians are just people, and sadly even talented people can be just as wretched as the rest of us. I don’t think the metal community is actually essentially any worse in regards to noxious political opinions than any other genre, it’s just the extreme and aggressive nature of the music encourages the artists to be more open about their own opinions.

I’d rate it a 7/10, crust looks nice, few small Performance Indicators along the back of the pan and in the filling, but otherwise passes inspection for a class 2 (J-STD) pie with flying colors.
