Genuinely, I don’t know how else to get the word out, but I feel like if your home-cooked dinners don’t taste right, you're missing either paprika, sugar, butter, or chicken bouillon.

Still not right? It might be missing one of these: Mustard powder, soy sauce, fish sauce, vinegar. MSG. Ketchup. Mushroom powder. Maple syrup. Honey.

Hey everyone, MSG is a valid culinary ingredient. It’s literally salt. Stop sending me racist messages.

The way demonization of MSG is still so normalized drives me up the fucking wall. Even among people who don't think it's literal poison or believe racist conspiracy theories about it, you often see people talking about how it's lazy bc it's a shortcut to make mediocre food taste better and like... That's literally just how seasoning food works. "Oh MSG just tricks your brain into thinking the food tastes better by artificially stimulating your umami tastebuds" THAT'S HOW SUGAR AND SALT WORK TOO.

This did not go where I expected from the first tweet and now I am laughing so hard I am crying.

gifmaking as a hobby is really funny cos we're really out here putting hours of effort into something that has no meaning or relevance outside of this one single dying website (and diminishing meaning and relevance ON this single dying website) and we not only continue doing it but we're also deeply serious about it

lots of stories about being possessed by demons and forced to do evil things against your will, not many about being possessed by angels and forced to do good things against your will

I think you could actually write an incredible horror story about this actually

if you get possessed by a demon and start doing evil things, everyone’s immediately like “oh no this isn’t like you, this is so sinister, we must put a stop to this and restore your free will” but if you get possessed by an angel* who’s going to stop you? who’s going to want to stop you? your friends are either going to approve or they’re going to start resenting you and cutting ties…

and I specifically don’t mean this happening to an originally evil or villainous character, just like, a normal person with an average degree of benevolence and selfishness, succumbing to a gradually escalating series of good deeds that offer no pleasure or relief that they never would have chosen
