Titled

very grim that you can't find a single informational post about the current intentional parasite outbreak in the US where the comments aren't full of people going "oh my god i hope i get it so i can get skinnyyyyyyyy 😂🤣"

"why are so many leftists disabled" maybe it's because disabled people don't really care for the "kill all disabled people" parties but who can say

the second 'o' in "zoologist" is putting in heavy duty work. girl is working two jobs

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.

is there a name for the thing where you talk about how it's misogyny that people don't give a fuck about women in media and then some asshole comments that it isnt misogyny it's just that female characters are less interesting and less common so why should i care and you just sit there thinking wow if only there was a name for why society sees women as the less interesting option.

is there a name for why it's always fucking redditors lining up to bat for the side of misogyny.

redditors will see a post about a structural problem in society and say with their full chest that it isn't actually a structural problem, society has just always been like that actually.

anyway let's all get stoned together and ask each other super invasive and inappropriate questions

we have to hold the line on misandry not being real. it's getting scary out there

ew you still experience dysphoria? ugh that's soo last year

didn't you hear? topping is in now! you should top me! come on top me. top me

Somewhat tangential but I've found that if you're transfem and nonbinary and want to be a radical genderpunk people take it as an excuse to masculinize you. You say something like "I want to be seen equally sometimes as male, sometimes as female, sometimes as neither" you quickly find that it doesn't actually happen. Everyone hears that and defaults to seeing you as "failed male faggot." If you ask for she/they/he pronouns you get 90% he. Even if you ask for she/her you still get 10% he 40% they. When you give TME people the option to gender you in masculine terms even slightly they just start to do it all the time and completely reject the validity of your womanhood. You learn pretty quick that from the transmisogynist gaze, it's easier to accept you as some nebulously degendered oddity than to accept a trans woman as having a legitimate claim to womanhood.

the real moral lesson in chess is that you can only move forwards 5-6 times in your life before you're turned into a beautiful queen but also rarely you might be turned into a horse
