Or you really like studying worms. But that would be whataboutism wouldn’t it?

So, you’re in favour after Thatcher then? Because you make it sound like a direct competition.

Yeah? Well this is razzle dazzle camo I think we all know who’ll be seen last.

He’s the 37th of the Dirtnapbrian clan, I thought that was obvious.

Here you go :)

What does relatively soon mean Supergiant Games? WHAT DOES RELATIVELY SOON MEAN???

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the beauty filters were directly inspired by autotune, given that the first (I think?) app was called facetune.

That sounds an awful lot like a portmanteau of facetime and autotune.

I guess if it’s a state of mind, then everything can be viewed as a battle.

Today I wage war on THE LAUNDRY PILE!

I, skilled strategist that I am, sit at my war desk and prepare my tactics. This year, I shall pay FAR LESS TAXES!

Today is a good day to dye my hair etc…

Anyone born after 1983 can’t cook. All they know is charge they phone…

Couldn’t agree more, children’s shows should absolutely be about peeling away the thin veneer of sanity that’s all there is protecting us from the gargling, writhing chaos and madness that lies in the darkness beyond.

It builds character.

I always assumed that was just the on-light for the soundbar, because the viewscreen’s inbuilt speakers are dogshit.

You, me and every western philosopher for the last few hundred years all want an answer to this but as far as I know, the short answer is no - you can’t empirically prove anything exists outside of your own thoughts.

However, unless you particularly enjoy trying to answer that question, it’s simply more practical to accept as a fact, that your senses are telling the truth when they tell you something is real.

It’s an axiom, but axioms are helpful for allowing us to get on with living when we would otherwise just get stuck in a pointless loop of asking unanswerable questions.

That said, if you do enjoy the challenge of trying to answer these sorts of questions, you could probably start with Rene Descartes’ - Discourse on the Method. In that, Descartes kicks this whole topic off by asking “what happens if I systematically deconstruct everything I know to be real?” and eventually comes to the conclusion that yes, everything outside of our minds can be doubted but the one, irrefutable fact that holds up under any amount of scepticism, is that “if I can think, I exist”.

This is a pretty digestible article about the importance of the discovery of “cogito, ergo sum”/“I think, therefore I am”.

If you just want to make one, milder curry you could do a sambal on the side. It’s not Thai but it’s big in nearby countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore etc.

It’s a bit like a much hotter siracha but there are loads of varieties, some have shaved coconut for a bit of texture and sweetness etc.

Here’s a basic one https://www.elmundoeats.com/en/how-to-make-malaysian-chili-paste-sambal/

Edit: forgot to say, sambals have similar flavours to Thai stuff, so lemongrass, chilli, coconut etc. Thought it would compliment nicely even if not strictly traditional.

Thanks! I really didn’t want it to be an aKsUAlLy type post. I just thought it was an interesting point to pick up on.

Also, while OPs spelling of the word doesn’t make sense to me based on what I’ve read, it does make sense phonetically. I’ve heard consome pronounced similarly to “consume”.

I’m not 100% on this, but I think “consommé” is the French spelling, “consome” is the Mexican one.

In French cookery a consommé is very specifically a clarified broth that goes through several processes and ends up looking like tea. I believe in Mexican cookery, the consome that accompanies birria goes through far fewer processes and so retains more solids and therefore has a different texture/flavour and is more of a gravy.

Ackshually, the quote is

Alas poor Vorik… I didn’t know him very Horatio.

Me too buddy, me too… but they will, and I have hope that someone will find a way to do the same thing to the sequels that people have done to the prequels.

Edit: changed my wording

And that’s Everything!

What I’m getting at is that the way you’re talking about the sequels is exactly the way people spoke about the prequels when they came out.

I hated the prequels when they came out, I still think they’re basically unwatchable. But they weren’t aimed at me, and a whole new generation of SW fans grew up with a deep fondness for them.

I expect we’ll see the same thing with the sequels.
